Here are a few of our favorites right now ... but please note that availability and selection will vary by location.

Stella d’Oro Daylilies

The “golden star” of the garden. Their compact size and early blooming characteristics make Stellas one of the most popular daylily varieties. They reach a height of just 12" with a similar spread. The fragrant flowers are golden and trumpet-shaped. The foliage is also attractive, forming a dense clump that can function as a groundcover. They are reliable repeat bloomers and typically flower from May until late summer.
 
 

Heuchera

More than any other perennial, these easy to grow shade perennials feature a palette of amazing foliage colors ranging from silvers, green, black, pewter, peach, copper, bronze and various hues in between. Heuchera forms attractive mounds with an average spread of 12-18", making them ideal for edging beneath taller shrubs, or used as a groundcover or border plant. They return reliably year after year (even in containers) and are pest & disease resistant.
 
 

Hosta

The crown jewels of the shade garden. Easy to grow and long-lived, theses ground covers are valued for their colorful foliage. They exhibit almost every leaf color except red. Depending on the variety, colors can be solid or variegated. There are green, gold, or blue solid colors and highly variegated combinations of green or blue with white, cream or yellow. They range in sizes from two inches to over three feet high, and six inches to over six feet wide. The leaves come in a range of sizes and shapes as well. There are lance shaped leaves, heart shaped leaves, and leaves that are nearly round. Some leaves are smooth and shiny. Others are ridged, cupped, ruffled or wavy. Hostas’ wide range of leaf colors, shapes, sizes and textures make them one of the most diverse perennials for shade to partial shade gardens.
 
 

Astilbe

Create great perennial color in moist, full to partial shade areas in the landscape. Versatility and beauty combine to make this plant an excellent choice for borders or containers. Plants have finely cut, fern-like foliage that frames soft plumes of flowers in late spring to mid-summer. Bloom colors range from white, to pink, peach, coral, red or purple. The elegant flower plumes are a great addition to any cut flower arrangement. Depending on variety, astilbe plants will reach 18-30 inches in height. Astilbes must have plenty of moisture, so don’t let the ground dry out for too long.
 

Rudbeckia

A must-have for a sunny perennial garden. Once a favorite wildflower along country roads, these beautiful perennials have been hybridized to become reliable garden flowers. Often referred to as Black-eyed Susans, Rudbeckias exhibit golden-yellow daisy-like flowers with contrasting centers. They are one of the few perennials that will keep blooming from summer until frost. To encourage repeat blooming, remove spent blooms as they occur. Rudbeckias return dependably with more and more blooms each year.
 
 

Garden Phlox

Garden phlox is an old-fashioned favorite! It is an easy to grow perennial, great for garden color, and fantastic for cutting. Plants grow in clumps with strong stems that bear simple lance-shaped leaves. These stems are topped with clusters of fragrant, showy, five-petaled flowers, each bloom rising from a narrow tube. The color range includes white, rose, pink, purple, lavender, and magenta. Some flowers are bi-colored. For best results, plant in full sun. Great plant for attracting hummingbirds.
