| ACHILLEA 'Saucy Seduction' NEW 2013 This intensely colored selection produces a bouquet of flowers that open intense fuchsia pink, then lighten to medium pink. New flowers are produced all summer long, providing an array of cheerful pink color over an extended period of bloom. 18-24" high by 28-32" wide. $13.00 each or 5 for $60.00 |  Photo Walters Gardens |
| ACHILLEA 'Strawberry Seduction' NEW 2013 Aptly named, this selection produces large clusters of luscious strawberry red flowers with a gold center, just like the seeds on a real strawberry. A uniform blossom height results in the flowers being produced in a domed canopy atop a full, sturdy, upright clump of grey-green foliage. One unique characteristic about this plant is that after the red flowers are finished, when left to dry on the stems they turn a lovely shade of buff yellow. The plant literally looks like it is continuing to bloom yellow, extending its interest in the landscape much longer than other varieties. 18-24" high by 28-32" wide. $13.00 each or 5 for $60.00 |  Photo Walters Gardens |

'Burgandy Glow'
NEW 2013 Fantastic tricolored foliage in
shades of creamy-white, rose-burgundy, and dark green make this ajuga
different than all the others. In the fall, the mature leaves turn a
deep bronze while the newer growth takes on a rose tone. From mid to
late spring, short spikes of blue flowers stand upright above the low,
spreading foliage. The effect is stunning when planted en masse.
'Burgundy Glow' tends to spread more slowly than many other varieties
in this species, making it suitable for use as an edging. It also fits
nicely into rock gardens and mixed container plantings. $5.00 |

Carex 'Banana Boat' NEW 2013
Zone 5. 6-12" high by 15" wide. At first glance, you might
take this plant to be a small lance-leaved hosta, but it's actually a
broad-leaved form of deciduous sedge. The one inch wide leaves are
bright lemon or banana yellow with narrow, green margins and stripes.
This is an outstanding accent plant for brightening up shady gardens
or pathways and is also striking in containers. Native to mountain
woodlands, 'Banana Boat' slowly creeps by rhizomes to form a dense
mass of bold-textured foliage. It is a long-lived, durable sedge for
the woodland garden. $13.00 each or 5 for $60.00 |

Sea Oats is a clumping grass that is treasured for its showy, drooping

it an ideal choice for mass plantings. The seed heads, which turn from
green to copper in fall, make interesting cut flowers in both fresh
and dried arrangements. This is one of few taller ornamental grasses
that is shade tolerant. $13.00 each or 5 for $60.00 |

Hakonechloa 'Naomi' NEW 2013
Zone 5. (Japanese Forest Grass) 8-16" high by 18"-24"
wide. Excellent fall color sets this cultivar apart from H. m.
'Aureola'. The creamy yellow and green variegated leaves become
flushed with reddish-purple tones in fall. The color is most
pronounced in cool weather. Though this grass does spread by stolons,
it is a slow grower and will not rapidly overtake its neighbors. Plant
it where it can cascade down slopes, drape over rocks, crawl over the
edges of walls, at the front of the garden, or even in containers.
Hakonechloa is grown mainly for its beautiful foliage, though it does
produce seed heads. Tiny, inconspicuous reddish brown flower spiklets
appear in airy clusters from late summer thru early fall. $13.00 each

Panicum 'Prairie Fire' NEW 2013
(Switch Grass) Zone 4. A spectacular switch grass with sturdy,
upright, blue-green stems and wine-red leaves. In the spring, the
foliage is blue-green, but by early summer the leaves begin to turn a
stunning shade of deep red. Most red switch grasses do not begin to
turn color until late summer, so this grass is quite remarkable in
that it changes color so early in the season. In late summer, a
bouquet of rosy panicles is displayed just above the foliage. When in
bloom, the leaves curl slightly, which gives the impression of red
ribbons woven throughout the flowers. 4-5 feet high by 2 feet wide.

'Berrylicious' NEW 2013 Huge
8-9in, mauve lavender blossoms with a deep strawberry red eye have
attractively ruffled, overlapping petals. They are produced on all
sides of the dense, bushy, rounded clump of thick, bright green,
maple-like leaves. This Hibiscus is a very floriferous indeterminate
bloomer, so there are buds at many nodes up the stems rather than just
at the tips. The result is a much longer season of bloom and flowers
that cover all sides of the plant rather than just the top. 5 feet
high by 5 feet wide. $20.00 |

Fabulous 9 inch wide, deep magenta flowers with a red eye have
delightfully ruffled, thick, heavily overlapping petals. Bright yellow
pollen sets the magenta color off nicely. This plant blooms for

'Midnight Marvel' NEW 2013
Very deep wine purple, dissected maple-like foliage that is thick and
leathery. Like many perennials with purple foliage, this one needs to
be exposed directly to UV light (grown in full sun) to achieve the
darkest foliage color. Very glossy, black-red buds which open to 8-9”,
deep scarlet red flowers. Since this variety is an indeterminate
bloomer (has buds at several nodes up the stem), it blooms for an
extended period from midsummer into early fall. 4 feet high by 5 feet
wide. $20.00 |
