Some Helpful Lists to Guide You A catalog of this size can be daunting. How do you find what you want? These lists will be your guide, enabling you to navigate these pages and hone in on some truly exceptional plants. NANCY’S PICKS Favorite Plants of 2007 I revise this list every year. Some plants stay on the list as they seem to have won a permanent place in my heart. Others are new loves. You can study them and learn about the features that have caused them to win a place in my heart— and in the gardens of many of my favorite clients. *Indicates signature plants used in many Natureworks designs *Abelia grandiflora Aconitum carmichaelii ‘Arendsii’ *Allium thunbergii ‘Ozowa’ *Anemone ‘Honorine Jobert’ Astilbe simplicifolia ‘Hennie Graafland’ *Athyrium ‘Ghost’ (fern) Athyrium ‘Victoria Selection’(fern) Azalea ‘Millenium’ *Brunnera macrophylla (esp. ‘Jack Frost’) *Campanula poscharskyana ‘Blue Waterfall’ *Carex morrowii ‘Ice Dance’ (grass) Caryopteris ‘Sunshine Blue’ Centaurea montana ‘Amethyst in Snow’ *Chelone lyonii ‘Hot Lips’ Coreopsis integrifolia Cornus sanguinea ‘Midwinter Fire’ *Cyrtomium fortunei (holly fern) *Dendranthemum’White Bomb’ Digitalis x ‘Spice Island’ *Doronicum pardalianches Dryopteris erythosora (fern) Echinacae ‘Big Sky Sunset’ Gaillardia ‘Summer Kiss’ Gentiana makinoi ‘Royal Blue’ Geranium ‘Rozanne’ Hamamelis ‘Arnold’s Promise’ Helenium ‘Coppelia’, ‘Mardi Gras’ Helianthus ‘First Light’ Helleborus x ‘Ivory Prince’ Hemerocallis citrina Heuchera villosa ‘Caramel’ *Hosta plantaginea Hydrangea ‘Tardiva’ Ilex pedunculosa *Iris germanica ‘Immortality’ *Iris pallida ‘Variegata’ Lathyrus vernus ‘Rose Fairy’ *Leucanthemum ‘Becky’ Lilium orienpet ‘Conca D’Or’ Lobelia ‘Gladys Lindley’ Mertensia virginica *Molinia caerulea ‘Skyracer’ Oenothera macrocarpa Oenothera fremontii ‘Lemon Silver’ Paeonia ‘Coral Fay’ *Perovskia ‘Longin’ Persicaria ‘Firetail’ *Phlox glaberrima ‘Morris Berd’ Phlox maculata ‘Natasha’ Physocarpus opulifolius ‘Diabolo’ Pieris japonica ‘Flaming Silver’ Potentilla ‘Monarch’s Velvet’ Primula japonica ‘Miller’s Crimson’ Rose ‘Knockout’ *Rudbeckia fulgida var. fulgida *Salvia ‘Carradonna’, ‘Marcus’ Salvia ‘Indigo Spires’ (tender peren.) *Sanguisorba menziesii ‘Dali Marble’ Sedum rupestre ‘Angelina’ *Stokesia ‘Peachie’s Pick’ *Thalictrum rochebrunianum Tricyrtis formosana *Veronica peduncularis ‘Georgia Blue’ Plants (and hummingbirds) in Cyberspace! www.provenwinners.com www.futureplants.com www.CareyAward.org www.quansettnurseries.com www.bobna.com (Blooms of Bressingham) www.clematisnursery.com www.stepables.com (ground covers) www.ct-botanical-society.org www.TerraNovaNurseries.com www.sunnyborder.com www.gardenweb.com www.peonygarden.com www.rubythroat.org www.sedumphotos.net www.plantdelights.com www.monrovia.com ELIMINATE YOUR LAWN!!!

OUR EDUCATIONAL FOCUS “An educated gardener is our best customer...” We want you to understand gardening, be successful at it, and fall in love with it as we have! At Natureworks, we purposely integrate education into everything we do. Our gardens are our “living classrooms” and provide our customers and students an invaluable local resource. Our Saturday morning garden walks, which run from June ‘til October, are always popular, offering hands-on techniques and a weekly commentary of what’s in bloom. Newsletters, weekly emails, handouts, winter classes, newspaper and magazine articles, public speaking engagements, summer festivals and workshops, and this comprehensive catalog ALL work together to offer YOU top-notch information. We are proud to share what we know so that we all may become better gardeners. SOME DEER-RESISTANT PLANTS* *I have been working for many years on a comprehensive list of plants that deer won’t eat. It is very long and detailed, much too much to include here. Check out our website at www.naturework.com and download a copy. You may also request a list when you visit the store. I encourage and welcome your input. If there are plants on the list that the deer devour in your yard, let me know. If there are plants that they don’t touch that are not on the list, please tell me! Together we can build a plant palette that truly works in deer country. Achillea Aconitum Agastache Alchemilla mollis Allium Anthemis tinctoria Aqueligia Artemesia Astilbe Buddleia Calamintha Centranthus ruber Cerastium tomentosum Convallaria majalis Delphinium Dicentra (old fashioned and dwarf) Digitalis Epimedium Euphorbia Ferns Geranium macrorhizum Helleborus Hypericum Iris germanica Kniphofia Lamium Available at Natureworks to help you with your deer problems: The BEST book on the subject: Deer Proofing your Yard and Garden by Rhonda Maassingham Hart Deer repellants that really work and smell great: Deer Stopper, Deer Solution Deer repellants that really work but smell strong: Coast of Maine fermented salmon, Liquid Fence You should alternate repellants if you have a large deer population! Lupinus Lychnis coronaria Monarda Myosotis Nepeta Origanum Papaver orientale Paeonia Perovskia Ranunculus Rumex sanguineus var. sanguineus Salvia Stachys Tanacetum Veronica incana Vitex agnus-castus WATERING TECHNIQUES FOR SUMMER GARDENS Over 75% of the serious plant problems reported during the summer months are the result of improper watering techniques. Water DEEPLY twice a week for the first three weeks after planting and at least once a week thereafter for the first growing season or plants will fail to thrive and may even perish! Get a rain gauge. Know just how much rain has fallen in your yard each week. “Sprinkling” the plants and the surface of the soil causes the roots to grow up to the surface, where they dry out much more quickly. Instead, water so that the water penetrates down into the root zone, at least 6" or more. When you water, WALK AWAY, leaving the water on for at least one half hour. When you think you are done, take a trowel and dig down 6" to make sure the water has reached the roots. If you are on a well, water one garden area deeply each day. Turn the water off as often as needed to let the well recover and then turn it back on the same garden or individual plant again. Weave soaker hoses, which use 50-70% less water than conventional sprinklers, throughout your garden. Leave soaker hoses on for at least 2-4 hours, and check to make sure that water has made it to the root zone of all the plants. Water doesn't travel far from soaker hoses—if they are not laid down correctly, entire sections of the garden will remain bone dry. NEVER use a lawn irrigation system (with pop-up sprinkler heads going on for a brief period every night) to water your perennial or shrub beds. Ask your irrigation company to install permanent drip irrigation lines and put them on a separate zone from your lawn. Enrich your soil each spring with organic compost and then mulch thickly in early summer. Both of these practices help the soil hold moisture and protect the soil from extreme temperature fluctuations.
