Perennials List Updated 5/08/08 

In addition to the perennials I have listed here, I will also have an assortment of various perennials in quart containers - 50 trays worth. I was not able to specify kinds, so you'll  just have to come and look at them.  They should be similar to the assortment I had  last year. They will cost $4 , or 3 for $10, mix and match.

I will continue to give a free perennial to all children-anyone 17 or under. Check the perennials listed as $1.50 for kinds available for them to select.

	$4.00	Qt. Size. 3 for $10. This new Yarrow represents the advanced breeding work being done with the genus. It has an improved upright habit and stronger flower color than some of the older hybrids. Rich pink flowers are produced in flat-topped clusters atop strong stems in early and midsummer. They have the most intense color when they first emerge and then fade to light pink as they age, lending a unique multicolored effect to the clump. In addition, the ferny, green foliage forms a compact, upright clump instead of spreading like other achillea. Likes full sun and well-drained soil. 20" tall, zones 4-8.
Anemone Robustissima	$5.00	Nice spreading anemone, forming a large mound of attractively cut foliage with plenty of flowers in late summer. Beautiful, silvery pink flowers are on tall 30"-36" stems that sway in the breeze-hence the more common name of windflowers. The plant can form clumps and may be more adaptable than other anemones. Clumps are late to emerge in the spring and stay small until later in the season, so it is a good plant to plant with poppies and bleeding heart.-plants that die back later in the season. Prefers a rich well-drained soil. Provides late summer/fall color rising well above the clump forming foliage. Striking when planted in a mass. The most adaptable of the Japanese Anemones. The hardiest and the most tolerant of sun and drier conditions. Attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. Blooms late summer to early autumn. Zones 3-8.

Blooms in early summer. 25 to 28 inches tall, zones 4-9. Astilbes are long-lived perennials that are most comfortable when grown in rich soil and light shade to filtered sun. They will grow in full shade, but will not bloom as prolifically there
Astilbe-Peach Blossom	$5.00	Gallon. A cross between Astilbe chinensis and Astilbe japonica produced this lovely shade of light, salmon pink. Plumes are full and lend a frothy appearance to the clump. Blooms in June and July. Astilbes are long-lived perennials that are most comfortable when grown in rich soil and light shade to filtered sun.

Baptisia (False Indigo) Purple Smoke	$4.00	Qt. Size. 3 for $10.

Brunnera is the plant that is blooming all through May in my northern hosta garden, just at the entrance. It is perfect for shade/part shade and for hosta gardens. 12" tall. Zones 3-8.
Buddleia (Butterfly Bush)-Nanho Blue	$4.00	Qt. Size. 3 for $10. Silvery, willow-like foliage and a compact habit are the signature qualities of the Nanho group. If you are looking for a smaller, less wild-looking buddleia, this is the one for you. The silvery leaves provide the perfect backdrop for the soft lavender-blue flower panicles. Though the blooms are slightly smaller than other buddleias, the sheer numbers in which they are produced more than compensate for this. You'll love the butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds that flock to their honey-scented blossoms. Blooms in late summer when a lot of perennials are done blooming. Buddleias should be planted in a full sun location with fertile, moist, well-drained soil.

Delphinium Black Knight	$4.00	Qt. Size. 3 for $10. Pacific Giant series-has tall spikes in a gorgeous shade of dark violet-blue with a black bee in the center.

If the main flower stalk is removed just after flowering, the plant will likely produce secondary blooms in late summer or early fall. Delphiniums can be grown in full sun or partial shade, 5 to 6 feet tall. Since their stems are hollow, taller varieties of Delphiniums should be staked to prevent damage from wind and rain. Zones 3 to 7.
Dicentra Spectabalis (Bleeding Heart) Alba	$5.00	Gallon. Every bit as charming as the pink form, Dicentra. 'Alba' forms large, bushy clumps of powdery-light green foliage comprised of cut or lobed leaves on fleshy stems. In late spring, chains of puffy, white, heart-shaped flowers dangle beneath the arching, leafless stems.

In most climates, partial shade is best, though it will grow in full sun. 3-4 feet tall, zones 4-9.
Digitalis (Foxglove) Candy Mountain	$4.00	Qt. Size. 3 for $10. This is a new kind of foxglove that is very unique-it has upward facing flowers, rose pink blooms and speckled throats on very sturdy upright stems.

Part shade to full sun is best. 3 to 4 feet tall, zones 4 -9.
Echinacea (Purple Coneflower) Ruby Star	$1.50	3" pot. One of the best new strains from Jelitto Seed. E. 'Ruby Star' is similar to E. 'Magnus' in that they both hold their petals in a refined, horizontal arrangement, not drooping like the species. However, the petals of 'Ruby Star' are more substantial with a deeper magenta-red color. Praised for their large, daisy-like flowers which appear from midsummer through fall, after many other perennials have finished blooming. Coneflowers are a mainstay in today's garden. 36" tall, zones 3-8.
Elephant Ears	$6.00	13/15 size bulb-this size looks like a cantaloupe and will make a huge plant. Create a jungle look in your garden with these plants. These ARE NOT perennial, so they will need to be dug in the fall if you want to save them for next year. I plant some of these every year in amongst my hostas. They look really good there and add a lot of vertical height. They grow about five feet tall. I couldn't find these anywhere last year, so this year I'm making sure I have plenty of them.
Elephant Ears-Upright	$9.00	11/13 size-like a large grapefruit. If you like regular Elephant Ears, you're going to love these. Gigantic leaves grow vertically and look straight out of the tropics.

The sori, which are produced in fall, are bright red. Ht. 2 feet. Part sun. Zones 5-9.
Fern-Ostrich	$5.00	Gallon. One of the largest and most popular ferns in cultivation today. The dark green, pinnate fronds are shaped like ostrich plumes, being much wider at the top and tapering down to a bare stipe. Ostrich ferns need plenty of space to grow since they are rapid spreaders. Ostrich ferns prefer to be grown in moist, humus-rich soil with a neutral pH. Shade to part shade is best. 3 to 6 feet tall, zones 3-7.
Festuca Elijah Blue	$4.00	Qt. Size. 3 for $10. Soft powdery blue, spiky foliage that keeps its color all year round makes this grass a top pick. One of the more durable and longer-lived varieties, 'Elijah Blue' is a small, clumping grass with a rounded habit. In early summer, wheat-like seed heads are produced on tall, spikey stalks in great numbers. Likes full sun best, but will tolerate some afternoon shade..

Gaillardia requires full sun and well-drained soil in order to prosper. 12" tall, zones 3-10.
Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola'	$5.00	2009 Perennial of the Year. I have had this grass growing for ten years now in my yard, and I just love it. It is my favorite of all the grasses and it does well in morning sun or part shade. It grows only about 10-12" tall, but doesn't even look that tall, since it has a graceful arching cascade to it. Blades are golden and with green stripes. Grows slowly to become a clump one to two feet wide. Zones 5-9. It helps to mulch this one well in the winter or plant in a protected spot. Part shade to full shade is best, but will grow in morning sun.
Hardy Banana	$14.00	8" pot. The tropical look is in, and now there is a banana tree that you don't have to dig up each fall. The hardy banana is the most cold-hardy banana, capable of surviving winter temperatures of minus 5 degrees without protection or minus 20 degrees with heavy wintertime mulch. The hardy banana produces pseudostems to 6 feet tall with the large, erect leaves making the plant seem twice as tall. Trunks 4 to 5 inches across are common. The leaves on the hardy banana are typical for the species and reach 4 to 6 feet long and a foot wide. Bananas need 10 to 12 months of frost-free conditions to flower and set fruit, so in temperate climates where the plant freezes to the ground each winter, you’ll probably never see blooms. Reports from gardeners in Ohio, Iowa and other zone 5 locations report it’s perfectly winter hardy with them. In colder areas, a thick mulch of leaves might be beneficial. Planting in an area protected from wind will reduce leaf shredding. Plants are easy to grow in average soil in full sun or part shade. Note-these aren't guaranteed. I haven't grown it before, but lots of sources say it is hardy to -20 degrees with good thick mulching, so it should be fine here.

Hibiscus Turn of the Century	$6.00	Gallon. Valued for its late summer display, 'Turn of the Century' produces unusual, bicolored flowers ranging from dark red to light pink. Petals alternate colors, giving them the appearance of a 5-veined pinwheel. Strong, shrub-like foliage, which is more compact than standard hibiscus, supports these beautiful blooms in mid to late summer. Makes an outstanding accent plant. 6-8 feet tall. Zone 4b to 9. Hibiscus love the sun and need moist, well-drained soil. Keeping these plants watered will result in larger flowers and lush foliage.
