Acer grandidentatum bigtooth maple<br />
A western segregate <strong>of</strong> A. saccharum, the sugar maple, forming pure stands in the wild from the high, dry<br />
habitat <strong>of</strong> northe<strong>as</strong>tern Mexico to central Utah. A small to medium tree, reaching 15-20 ft tall and wide in the<br />
garden. Deciduous with leaves, 3-5 lobed and deeply cut, that turn brilliant red-orange in autumn. At home in<br />
rocky, well-drained soil. Very drought tolerant once established. Frost hardy in <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 4.<br />
6in @ $11 Aceraceae<br />
Ajuga reptans 'Valfredda' valfredda carpet bugle<br />
This very restrained ajuga deserves a place in your half shade garden or walk. Bright blue flowers cloak the<br />
tiny plants in spring. Tough and vigorous. A nice ground cover to 6" x 6”. Frost hardy to <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 4.<br />
4in @ $7 Lamiaceae<br />
Angelica gig<strong>as</strong> angelica<br />
Rounded umbrels <strong>of</strong> large, dark red-purple flowers, beloved <strong>by</strong> hummingbirds and bees, appear in mid to late<br />
summer and turn to showy seeds to add autumn interest. Stems are also dark red, supporting large, handsome,<br />
tropical leaves. Flowers stems can reach 5 ft high above a 2.5 x 2.5 plant. Best in light to medium shade in<br />
good soil with regular summer water. Considered a biennial, but reseeds itself for a continual presence. Frost<br />
hardy in <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 4.<br />
1g @ $9 Apiaceae<br />
Aquilegia vulgaris 'Leprechaun Gold' variegated columbine<br />
A playful columbine with leaves mixed and spreckled with gold and green creating a bright spot in the shady<br />
garden. Clumps to 18" tall are topped in April with violet purple flowers, a dramatic contr<strong>as</strong>t. Whenever the<br />
foliage looks tired, simply cut to the ground and new, fresh leaves will appear. Sun works on the co<strong>as</strong>t but<br />
light shade is best inland -- in rich soil with regular summer water. Frost hardy to at le<strong>as</strong>t -30F, <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 4.<br />
