color is blushed a very showy pinkish purple. Another fabulous introduction from Terra Nova plant breeders. ‘Chocolate Ruffles’ Heavily ruffled foliage is burgundy-brown on top, burgundy on bottom, lavender purple flowers! ‘Crimson Curls’ Highly ruffled and serrated foliage is a striking raspberry rose color on the back side. 10" tall. ‘Dolce Crème Brule’ A Proven Winners introduction. The leaves are the color of the carmalized top of that famous desert, different from any others. 8-12" tall. ‘Dolce Key Lime Pie’ A Proven Winners introduction. Lime green foliage is very showy, blends with all colors. 8-12" tall. ‘Dolce Peach Melba’ A Proven Winners introduction. Foliage is peachy/bronze/with a touch of golden. 8-12" tall. ‘Ebony & Ivory’ This plant struck me so that I included it in my small shady foundation planting. Deep purple/ebony ruffled foliage is covered with contrasting large ivory white 22" tall wands of flowers in June and July. Thank you, Stevie Wonder, for inspiring the name of this fabulous foliage and flowering shade plant! ‘Helen Dillon’ Named for a famous Irish plantswoman, this variety has very showy, large coral-pink flowers over heavily silver veined foliage. Very limited. ‘Lime Rickey’ The color is just as it sounds--- lime green, NOT yellow. This really accentuates the shade garden. Flowers are pure white in the spring. Excellent container specimen as well. ‘Marmalade’ This is a completely different color from ‘Amber Waves’- curly foliage, shiny, and an indescribable marmalade color. It’s not orange, for sure, but it’s not golden either. Great accent plant for containers. Flowers are a rusty red shade that go surprisingly well with the unusual leaves. micrantha ‘Plum Pudding’ A very compact form with distinctive shimmering and showy plum purple foliage, very shiny, grows 12" tall. A tidy edger of a smaller scale than most. ‘Purple Petticoats’ A magnificent multi-colored form! Chocolate foliage overlayed with silver, lavender, pewter, and charcoal grey. Leaf edge is heavily ruffled. Grows 12" tall. ‘Molly Bush’ Deep dark burgundy glossy foliage is completely sunproof. This makes it a VERY useful plant for designing borders; will not fade in the heat. ‘Obsidian’ You can’t miss this one--- the deepest and darkest "black" (really the darkest purple you can imagine) foliage is stunning. NOT marbled or marked, simply smooth, shiny and a solid statement in the garden. Need I say gold foliage combo? ‘Peach Flambe’ Dan Heims, owner of Terra Nova plant breeders, says this is one of his top favorites for 2007. Peach colored foliage lightens to a unique accent color in summer, turns back to deep peach in fall, burgundy in winter. White summer flowers. Great in shade containers. ‘Prince of Silver’ This is a standout! Glowing silver foliage is marked with deep plum veins. 12" mounds of foliage are topped with creamy PINK flowers on 2' stems in May and June. sanguinea These Coral Bells have low basal foliage and abundant thin sprays of flowers in May and early June. Flowers grow 18-24” tall. They tolerate sun or partial shade. These are excellent to fill the late May and early June flower gap and are among the earliest hummingbird flowers. ‘Adriana’ New! Marbled foliage topped by bright red flowers 15-18" tall. Very hardy, reliable variegation, great accent plant. Late May/June blooming. ‘Chatterbox’ Excellent mix of coral pinks. ‘Mt St Helens’ Large dark red flowers. ‘Ruby Bells’ The flowers of this new introduction are deep ruby red. You will be drawn to their subtle, sweet fragrance. Hummingbirds and butterflies love them. 15" tall, a tidy clumper. ‘Sashay’ New foliage color---olive green, very ruffled edges, purple undersides. Coral flowers 18" tall, June/July. ‘Sparkling Burgundy’ When you see this foliage, you will see why it is very different from any others. The red and white netting effect really pops out at you, offering a really neat textural contrast. White flowers 18" tall in summer. A Terra Nova introduction. ‘Swirling Fantasy’ Rich red flowers atop purple leaves overlayed with silver. A breakthrough combination that will attract hummingbirds in May and June; summer foliage is a standout. Very limited. ‘Vesuvius’ A stunner. Deep purple foliage and really showy cherry red flowers in late spring and summer. Floriferous, one of the best Terra Nova introductions to hit the garden. villosa ‘Caramel’ The straight species is native to southern U.S. This amazing variety emerges golden in the spring and changes to an apricot/caramel color in summer. It is one of the last Heucheras to bloom, with 18" tall foamy white flowers in August, persisting into early fall. Tolerates heat and humidity well. x ‘Strawberry Candy’ A very pretty clear pink, large flowering form of old fashioned coral bells hybridized by Terra Nova. 18" tall sprays in late May through June. Foliage is a tidy basal clump of deep green leaves, lightly marked with silver. Heucherella FOAMY BELLS Why don’t more people know this plant? A cross between Heuchera and Tiarella, Heucheralla has beautiful ornamental foliage and abundant, profuse blooms. All forms are sterile, making the flower display long and prolific—no seed pods! Grows best in partial shade. Flowers can be cut for the house. ‘Burnished Bronze’ Very rare and hard to get but well worth the wait. Very shiny deep bronze foliage glows in the shade. The soft pink 18" wands of flowers make an exciting contrast. Combine with dwarf, tightly textural ferns for an amazing combination. Very limited, reserve. ‘Chocolate Lace’ Gorgeous, showy, lacy dark leaves; flowers are strawberry-pink. The contrast is a stunner. ‘Dayglow Pink’ Grow this plant for its showy (you guessed it) brilliant hot pink, large flowers on strong 16" stems. Foliage is deeply cut, green with chocolate brown markings with a good late fall color. This plant is a real breakthrough in Heucherellas. ‘Party Time’ Heucherellas keep getting better and better, and this is one of the best yet! Dense, full flower spikes 18" tall are bright, vivid pink and white. Spring blooming. Foliage is green with bronze markings and a silver overlay. If you try just one Heucherella for you shade garden, this should be it. ‘Silver Streak’ The foliage is drop-dead gorgeous, palm-shaped, pure silver streaked with metallic purple. The flowers are white Page 34 “It's all about the plants...” Natureworks 2007-2008 Catalog
tinged with pink. Summer-flowering with a good fall rebloom. Foliage 6" tall, flowers 20" tall. ‘Stoplight’ Another amazing shade accent plant from Terra Nova breeders. Glowing golden foliage marked with large, blood red centers. Flowers are white and spring blooming. Color tones down a bit in the summer to lime green with red centers. The Hibiscus Sawfly Something bugging your giant hibiscus plants? Notice the leaves looking like Swiss cheese? This is the hibiscus sawfly, a sneaky little devil that hides on the leaves by being the same color green, skinny, and nearly invisible until you look closely. BT will not work on sawflies (I found out way too late last year) but Neem will. Repeat the sprayings weekly if you have a persistent population. Scout for this pest early. The Natureworks email newsletter will inform you when we first spot it. Hibiscus ROSE MALLOW moscheutos ‘Anne Arundel’ Giant hot pink flowers, cut leaves. ‘Blue River II’ Pure white flowers on 4-5’ tall plants. ‘Bordeux’ I have actually carried this compact, dwarf group of hardy hibiscus plants for a few years, but they haven't made it into the catalog. Named after various wines, the Carafe Series form dense plants reaching only 3' tall, literally smothered in blossoms up to 10" across. You guessed it, Bordeaux is a deep, rich red. ‘Disco Belle Red’ Rounded leaves, not cut-leaf. This is the red plant we have in our architectural garden. Shorter than ‘Lord Baltimore’; HUGE pure red flowers. They are hard to get as a single color, usually sold as part of the ‘Disco Belle’ seed mix and you have to wait for them to bloom. ‘Fantasia’ VERY ruffled, huge lavender flowers on 3’ tall plants. Foliage is very thick, maple-shaped, and offers a very bushy and full look. ‘Fireball’ Brilliant red flowers are similar to ‘Lord Baltimore’ but the foliage has the same purplish cast as ‘Kopper King’. I’ve died and gone to heaven. ‘Giant Maroon’ Just as it sounds, this is a completely new color that goes with everything in the late summer garden. ‘Grenache’ Another great 2-3' plant from the Carafe series, this one has bright rose pink blooms. ‘Kopper King’ White flowers with a red eye are beautiful--but the FOLIAGE---burgundy deeply-cut leaves make this plant a MUST-HAVE for the summer garden. ‘Lady Baltimore’ Pink with a red center. ‘Lord Baltimore’ Brilliant rich red. This is still one of my favorite choices to jazz up the late summer garden. Somehow, the deep red just makes everything dance. ‘Old Yella’ Very unusual form. The buds are a soft, pale yellow. The flowers open up to a creamy white with a pink center. A narrow, upright conical habit to 3-1/2’. ‘Pink Champagne’ Huge blush-pink flowers with a darker rosy red eye. ‘Plum Crazy’ A wonderful patented variety with huge purple flowers, darker veins and---yes---purple foliage. It keeps getting better, all these purple-leaved hybrids. ‘Sweet Caroline’ Pale pink with darker veins and an even darker eyezone. Ruffled edges. ‘White Beauty’ White flowers with a red center. Combine with burgundy Sedums or red Helenium for a marriage made in heaven. Hosta PLANTAIN LILY Hostas are the ultimate shade plant and the ultimate foliage plant. We carry many rare varieties for the collector. Featured are white blooming and fragrant cultivars, as well as some tidy dwarfs, strikingly colorful variegated varieties, and the "giants" in either leaf or flower stalks. ‘Big Daddy’ Corrugated blue foliage forms large mounds 25" tall, will spread 3’ or more. White July flowers. ‘Blue Angel’ Gigantic blue leaves, heavily-textured, form enormous 40" tall clumps; very tall white flowers, my grower claims it’s "bigger than Big Mama." ‘Blue Dimples’ A blue dwarf with thick, slug-resistant, wavy, oblong leaves, forms a mound 15" tall. Pale lavender flowers in July. Excellent front of the border edger. ‘Blue Mouse Ears’ Aptly named, this plant forms a perfect, tidy clump of waxy blue leaves only 6" tall. Short spikes of lavender summer flowers. ‘Brim Cup’ Deep dark green heart shaped leaves with bright creamy white edges; foliage is slightly cupped. Grows 14" tall and approx. 40" wide. Flowers are almost white, 20" tall in late June. Try this in shady containers. It glows. ‘Cascades’ I love ‘Jade Cascade’- this is a variegated plant of the same style. Upright growing mound; deep green leaves with white centers cascade over at the tips. Flowers are pure white. ‘Chartreuse Wiggles’ An adorable golden dwarf with wavy leaves, 12" tall. Flowers are white and purple striped. ‘Cherry Berry’ Linear leaves are creamy white edged dark green; the leaf petioles are red. Purple flowers have red flower stems. A stunning medium-sized plant, fabulous foliage accent with endless possibilities for creative combinations. ‘Diana Remembered’ This is a stunning hybrid from the late summer bloomer H. plantaginea. Large, flaring, powerfully gardenia-scented flowers on 2’ stalks will knock you out. Foliage is shiny, a dark blue-green, with a wide and showy creamy white border. Grows 15" tall and 2-3’ wide. Tolerates sun or shade. ‘Earth Angel’ I love Blue Angel, a giant blue-leaved form. This is a sport from that wonderful variety with huge blue-green leaves edged in creamy white. Flowers are also creamy white. It will grow 30" tall and spread to 4’ wide! Give this specimen plenty of room! ‘El Nino’ Another sport of 'Halcyon', one of my absolute favorite and slug resistant hostas. Foliage is a nice blue with a bright white edge; same waxy, thick substance. Flaring flowers of lavender blue in mid-summer. Can reach 20" tall and 3' wide. ‘Fire and Ice’ "Flashy" is how this is described---deep dark green edges, pure white centers, the leaves simply glow. Lavender flowers.
