American Beauties are a special collection of native American plants. Of course, Natureworks has been carrying, planting, and promoting all sorts of native plants for years. This program is designed to make it easier for you to identify them and learn more about them. Plus, each time you buy plants from this program, money will be donated to The National Wildlife Federation and earmarked to fund their home habitat work and outreach programs. If you are interested in creating a certified home habitat in your yard or neighborhood, go to their website listed above or contact us at Natureworks for further information. Start a movement in your area to re-establish habitats where they were disrupted or destroyed by development!

PERENNIALS Acaena NEW ZEALAND BUR anserinifolia ‘Blue Haze’ Lacy, intricate pale blue-gray foliage covers the ground. Flowers are purple, maturing into tiny red spined fruit. Grows only 1" tall. Everyone comments on the unusual texture of this Stepable. Be sure to water in a dry summer, especially if growing among stones. Acanthus BEAR’S BREECHES Striking, deeply-cut foliage is attractive all season. Flower spikes are very dramatic, creating a strong vertical accent. Certain varieties are zone 6, need winter protection. Prefers sun or dappled shade. hungaricus Very dramatic 4-5’ tall spikes of white or pink flowers with red-purple bracts in July. Foliage is thistle-like, deep green. This is the hardiest Acanthus. Zone 5. mollis Glossy, wide deep green foliage, very architectural; flower spikes are 30-48" tall, purple and white, bold and striking vertical accents. Blooms in late spring. Zone 6. ‘Latifolius’ 5-6’ tall flower spikes, very dramatic! spinosissima Foliage is very leathery and deeply cut, with spines on the tips. A wonderful textural foliage accent plant, hardy to zone 6. Flowers are 3-4' tall, mauve with purple bracts. VERY dramatic. Achillea YARROW Yarrows have flat-topped flowers, long-lasting as cut flowers or for drying. They bloom from mid-June through the end of July. If cut back and fed with Sea-Mix after the first blooming, most will rebloom in the fall. To avoid floppy stems, plant in lean soil not heavily enriched with compost in full sun. Feed sparingly; heavy on the rock phosphate and greensand. Yarrow are not eaten by deer and are loved by butterflies and beneficial insects. ‘Anthea’ Striking silver foliage, very pale, almost creamy yellow flowers, much softer color than ‘Moonshine’ with equally excellent silver foliage. 2-3’ tall, Blooms of Bressingham intro. ‘Coronation Gold’ 3-4’ deep gold flower for fresh cut or drying, bloom June/July; an easy-to-grow garden staple. filipendulina ‘Altgold’ 3’ tall, blooms June/July with deep gold flowers. Long stems, huge flower heads. ‘Gold Coin Dwarf’ This is not really a dwarf, just a shorter version of the very tall and stately gold plate yarrow. Grows 3- 4' tall, with gray-green foliage topped with golden flowers. Great for drying. ‘Parkers Variety’ The best for dried work, 5-6’ tall stems with huge gold flower heads. Has become rare in the trade, can’t imagine why, this is really one of the best cut flowers! millefolium Feathery grey/green foliage, 2-1/2’ tall, great fresh-cut or dried, these are the best rebloomers. Cut back hard in late July; prefers lean soil. ‘Appleblossom’ A clean pink that fades to pale pink. ‘Apricot Delight’ New! A comapct hybrid growing only 12" tall; flowers are chameleon-like with shades of pink, apricot, and almost red on the same plant. ‘Feuerland’ A strong brick red flower on strong, non-flopping stems makes this variety stand out. 30-36" tall. ‘Paprika’ Brilliant paprika-pepper red, a hot accent color. I use this a lot with deep purple Campanulas. ‘Summer Wine’ A striking shade of wine purple. I find this one of the most useful colors to combine with Campanulas, roses, Lychnis coronaria, and more. The color exactly matches the center of Coreopsis ‘Sweet Dreams’, and they make a dreamy combination in a sunny, hot garden! ‘Terra Cotta’ Terra cotta orange fades to peach. ‘Moonshine’ I use this plant all the time! The silver foliage is an outstanding garden feature. The soft, buttery, pale yellow flowers bloom twice, mid June/early August and again in the fall until hard frost. No other yarrow I know of offers this long bloom period. Grows 18" tall with good stems for cutting. Definitely a plant in my top 25 list. siberica ‘Stephanie Cohen’ I finally visited Stephanie Cohen’s gardens in the summer of 2002, in the middle of the worst drought her state had ever experienced. It was a fascinating experience. She is a wealth of plant information! This yarrow, named for this famous plantswoman, is a compact variety that is NOT floppy. The green foliage is not as lacy as most yarrows, fairly bold-textured. The flowers grow only 18", in tall sprays of single flowers, a lovely shade of soft, clean pink. Most people who see this don’t realize it’s a yarrow! Must have good drainage. Zone 6. tomentosa ‘Aurea’ Bright golden yellow flowers on fuzzy, silver foliage that hugs the ground. Entire plant only reaches 8-10" tall, ideal for trough gardens. ‘Lemon’ Wooly yarrow is a low ground cover with gray, fuzzy foliage and pale lemon yellow flowers in late May and early June. Considered an alpine, perfect for troughs, also used in hot spots as a Stepable for low foot traffic. 3-4" tall. Natureworks 2007-2008 Catalog “It's all about the plants...” Page 1
