PERENNIALS
SOME PERENNIALS WILL NOT BE DUG UNTIL ORDERED
(*) Brunnera macrophylla
Family: Boraginaceae
Sometimes heard called
"Perennial Forget-Me-Not"
Synonym: Anchusa myosotidiflora
Bloom Time: spring
(*) Columbine SOLD OUT
18 pots of assorted old fashioned columbines.
(*) IRIS
STANDARD DWARF BEARDED (SDB):
Pale yellow with brown areas.
8 to 15 inches, bloom early Spring, overlapping the end of the Miniature Dwarf blooming season and continue for several weeks up to the early beginnings of the Tall bearded Iris bloom season. In this garden they bloom again late in summer.
I especially like the Standard Dwarf Bearded because they do not blow over like the tall bearded.
In the photo this iris is the short foliage among taller foliage of daffodils and tall bearded iris.
Sorry these next two are so blurred. I was trying to show you the coloring inside the flower.
(*) TALL BEARDED IRIS: Peach Color with orange beard.
(*) TALL BEARDED IRIS: White standards with yellow falls, orange beard.
(*) TALL BEARDED IRIS: Soft yellow
(*) TALL BEARDED IRIS: Dark yellow/gold
(*) LIRIOPE
Liriope can be divided into sprigs each of which will make a plant.
Liriope muscari (Border Grass, Lilyturf, Lily Turf, Liriope)
EASY, Deer-resistant, ornamental grass-like perennial. Will grow in shade.
A clump-forming ground cover that has strap-like leaves and spikes of lavender-colored flowers in late summer when little else is blooming.
It thrives in USDA zones 4 to 9. Not evergreen in our climate. Some people cut it back in late winter or early spring; I don't, I just let it turn brown and let the new spring growth come up through it. However, I may try cutting it back this winter and see which I prefer.
Will dig when ordered.
This is a very tough plant, good for shade or sun, moist or hot and dry. No running rhizomes, increases slowly by clumps, can be divided. Lovely for edging and perfect for filling the hell-strip between street and sidewalk. I have used it to stop soil from washing onto a path from a sloping flower bed. Water until established. Similar to Mondo Grass.
(*) Sedum spectabile
(Showy Stonecrop, Live Forever)
One plant available. Flower Color: very pale pink.
Showy stone crop grows in sun or light shade and blooms in late summer when other perennials have long since finished. The flowers are white to pink to red depending on the cultivar grown. The tall types may be used as cut flowers.
They grow one to two feet tall. (An example is 'Autumn Joy'.)
Plant in a well drained soil and space plants 12-18 inches apart.
Care - Pinch back new growth in the spring to produce bushier plants.
Tall types need dividing every two years or so to prevent flopping, divide in the spring; do not divide in the fall, I have read that they will die if you do.

Native to Northwest Europe (western Spain, Portugal, western and northern France, Belgium, Netherlands, Britain, Ireland).
