Frost hardy in USDA zone 5. 1g @ $11 Poaceae Indigofera heterantha himalayan indigo Very tough and very beautiful, deciduous pea shrub with rose-purple flowers from May through frost.

Extremely easy to naturalize. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5. 4in @ $6, 1g @ $11 Amaryllidaceae Isotoma fluviatilis - dark blue dark star creeper A steppable groundcover with tiny, green leaves and, in this form, dark blue, star flowers from late spring to frost.

Prefers light soil that drains well with little water once established. Full sun in best; plants are less dense in light shade. As the common name suggests, these plants are happy on the coast and very salt tolerant. Frost hardy to -30F, USDA zone 5. 1g @ $11 Cupressaceae Knautia macedonica 'Mars Midget' Dwarf, scabiosa relative, to only 16" tall and wide, with ruby red flowers from early summer through autumn -- more if deadheaded. Best in full sun to to part shade in well-drained soil with regular summer moisture. A die back perennial that returns in the spring. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5. 4in @ $4 Dipsaceae Leucosceptrum stellipilum 'October Moon' A rare but most useful fall-flowering perennial, sometimes semi-woody in mild climates for dappled shade. The 4-5” leaves are a velvety light green to chartreuse with cream edges in this lovely Japanese selection. The autumn flowers, a light lavender, are a very nice contrast and useful for late season effect when there is little else in bloom. This Japanese selection, brought to North America by plantsman Barry Yinger, enjoys evenly moist soil in shade to sun in particularly moist places. Endures in temperatures to at least USDA zone 5. 6in @ $14 Lamiaceae Lonicera nitida 'Briloni' Golden leaved honeysuckle shrub for the shaded garden. Blooms sparsely in spring, the small white flowers followed by small, bluish fruits. Slow growing, to only 3-4 ft tall and wide over time and smaller than other golden forms, with arching branches that add texture and bright golden accents. Tolerates sun but tends towards a more chartreuse color. Enjoys summer water but tolerates some drought once established. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5. 2g @ $18 Caprifoliaceae Lonicera periclymenum ‘Honeybush Improved’ This really aromatic honeysuckle has been around a while and remains one of the best, though not always as available as it might be. A compact grower, to 8-10 ft, with purple tinted leaves and salmon pink flowers aging to creamy orange, it is a must have for a lover of fragrance.The flowers begin mid spring and continue on and off all summer fading to a nice set of bluish black berries in autumn. We find summer drought and leanish soil makes the plant more compact and the leaves more pinkish purple. Sun to half shade and decently drained soil. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5 we expect. 2g @ $14 Caprifoliaceae Mahonia aquifolium 'Apollo' oregon grape Useful evergreen shrub, this one a very dwarf selection of native A. aquifolium, low-growing to only 18" tall and 5 ft. wide. Easily trimmed. New foliage is glossy and light green to coppery-green. Large clusters of bright yellow flowers in early spring are followed by blue-black edible berries. Enjoys well-drained soil in part shade to shade. Summer water, at least occasionally, improves appearance. Does well on the coast.
