Perennial Photos

Here are some photos that have not been posted. All were taken this year at the nursery. Above: Rozanne Geranium


Plumbago (Ceratostigma plumbagoides)



The 'East Gravel'
I love when the flower colors frame and comlpiment each other.


Palace Purple Coral Bells



Meadow Rue (Thalictrum aquilegifolium)



Marcus Meadow Sage.
This is a dwarf variety that stays compact and only get to about 12". The flower color is softer and more on the blue side compared with May Night.



Kamschaticum Sedum
We have recently started carrying flats of this variety and the one below.


John Creech Sedum



Joe Pye Weed (Eupatorium)


Meadow Rue (Thalictrum flavum 'Glauca')



Red Carpet (Elizabeth) Sedum



Citronelle Coral Bells


Caramel Coral Bells



Purple Poppy Mallow (Callirhoe involucrata)

Shades of Lavender (and yellow)

Russian Sage is a very dependable, shrubby perennial that blooms like crazy and is easily maintained. We also carry a smaller variety called Little Spire. We grow both in #1 and #2 pots.


Walkers Low Catmint is another very vigorous, attractive perennial. It goes crazy in a pot, but in the ground I have seen it spread to about four feet across and covered in blooms from May to October.


Variegated Liriope adds some beautiful variegated color to borders and as a groundcover, but the blooms are surprising on a Liriope. These have been in full bloom for at well over a month and still going strong.





One of my favorites is Silver Mound Artemisia. It just looks like a cloud and is so soft. It does die out in the middle if it gets too much water. The blooms are not very showy and cutting them will improve the foliage and growth.



Mariesii Balloon Flower has a large, bright purple, star-shaped flowers, and is taller than Sentimental Blue.


Moonbeam Coreopsis has done very well this year. The profuse pale yellow flowers glow against the dark green foliage.


Johnson's Blue Geranium is looking very nice and is available now.



In a mass Johnson's Blue makes a great groundcover that will do well in full sun or part shade. It can get leggy and should be pruned to maintain a more compact shape.
