Cultivaris

Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘24K Gold’ has the same tight, mounding habit as its parent ‘Hameln,’ but with bright golden-yellow new shoots in spring. In full sun, the foliage retains its bright golden color all season long — in partial shade, the foliage will gradually mellow to a soft chartreuse. In late summer and autumn, myriads of typical short-stemmed pipe-cleaner flower/seed heads provide interest well into winter. Zones 4-9.

A much more mounding, extremely vigorous plant habit in comparison to other varieties, ‘Bloom Me Away’ has large, upfacing blue-purple flowers with distinct white ey es from May to October, all season long. One plant will easy cover an area of 10 square feet once established. Hardiness zones 4-9; order now for liner delivery in Spring 2019.

“Chinese Foxgloves are often tall and floppy” — not so in the case of ‘Crouching Tiger.’ Compact, flat rosettes of glossy dark-green leaves and short, stout flower spikes, this is the first Rehmannia that has the potential to become a mainstream crop for spring/summer sales. Flowers are pure white with deep yellow, tigered throats. Zones 7 to 9 hardy.
