Geranium cinereum 'Ballerina'<br />

This hardy geranium is a cutie and a winner <strong>of</strong> the Royal Horticultural Society's Award <strong>of</strong> Garden Merit for its<br />

charming flowers --pinkish magenta with a pronounced darker center and contr<strong>as</strong>ting veins -- striking against<br />

the gray-green leaves <strong>of</strong> this tidy, 5" x 10" mounding perennial. A good rebloomer too. Grow in average soil<br />

for compactness. Full sun to part sun and occ<strong>as</strong>ional summer water. Frost hardy to <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 6.<br />

1g @ $12 Geraniaceae<br />

Hebe ochracea 'James Stirling'<br />

Low growing plant, species found in northwestern mountains <strong>of</strong> New Zealand. Rich yellow coloring that<br />

intensifies in winter, white flowers. Sun to part sun, good drainage and normal water. <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 6.<br />

1g @ $11 Scrophulariaceae<br />

Helleborus x sternii - very silver<br />

A third generation selection from particularly silver parentage, plants from our own garden. The interspecies<br />

crosses <strong>of</strong> H. argutifolius x H. lividus are grown for their handsome, silver-grey-green foliage with white<br />

veins and hints <strong>of</strong> purple -- this form adding blue and purple accents to the mix. Flowers <strong>of</strong> lime-green flushed<br />

pink appear in late spring. To only 18-24" tall and wide in full to half sun. Accepts regular garden water and<br />

occ<strong>as</strong>ional summer drought <strong>as</strong> well. Frost hardy in <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 6.<br />

1g @ $16 Ranunculaceae<br />

Hesperaloe funifera x parviflora<br />

Stunning evergreen perennial originally from Mt. States <strong>Nursery</strong>’s hybridizing, this with more <strong>of</strong> the size and<br />

vigor <strong>of</strong> H. funifera, the leaves reaching 6 ft, and the lovely peach to coral flower tones and purpling leaves <strong>of</strong><br />

H. parviflora. Flower stalks rise to 6 ft +, flowering all summer Ohh! Bright light brings out leaf color.<br />

Frost hardy into <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 6. E<strong>as</strong>y to grow with good drainage.<br />

5g @ $57 Liliaceae<br />

Hydrangea macrophylla 'Hatsushima'<br />

A medium growing mop-top with ple<strong>as</strong>ing blue-violet flowers, the flowers deepening in intensity over the<br />

summer into autumn. But even more exciting these have consistently white streaked leaves making it a<br />

beautiful woodland shrub contr<strong>as</strong>tingly greatly with the flowers. (We have found our plants to occ<strong>as</strong>ionally<br />

throw a green reversion so best to prune accordingly.) Best in damp, well-drained soil preferably in dappled<br />

shade. Frost hardy in <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 6.<br />

2g @ $24 Hydrangeaceae<br />

Hydrangea macrophylla 'Mickanya'<br />
