New Arrival - Milky Way

 
 
Pulmonaria 'Milky Way'
is a show stopper in the spring garden. Wine pink blooms that fade to blue cover the plant in spring. In addition to the beautiful flowers, the green leaves are speckled with silvery spots that glow in shady sites. These speckles keep the foliage interesting even after the flowers fade. Pulmonaria has the unfortunate common name of Lungwort, derived from the spotting on the leaves which were said to resemble the X ray of unhealthy, spotted lungs. Despite its common name, Pulmonaria brings a beautiful and colorful accent to a shady garden. Growing to about 12 inches tall, they attract hummingbirds and are extremely deer resistant.

New Arrival - Wonderful Ground Cover

 

Creeping phlox, commonly called Mountain Pinks can provide beautiful color in the spring perennial garden. Masses of dainty flowers in white, pink, red or lavender provide a stunning display from early to mid spring. The rich evergreen needlelike foliage forms low growing dense mats, excellent for edging, cascading over walls, or as a ground cover. Mountain pinks thrive in full sun and grow to about 6 inches tall. They have a spreading habit of growth and can cover an area three times their original width. The variety pictured is called Phlox subulata 'Fort Hill'. It has deep pinkish-rose flowers. Once established, Mountain pinks are extremely drought tolerant and low maintenance.
