Acanthus ‘Summer Beauty’ is a recent selection from China, thought to be a spinosissimus type, with much better heat tolerance than Acanthus mollis. The flower spikes are said to reach 6’!

Sun-Part Shade / 4-5’ / Zone6-9? / Summer Bloom / Quart Pots / $9.95 ea.    $7.95 ea.

 
 

Acanthus ‘Rue Ledan’ is the white flowered form of A. mollis with pure white blooms and bracts that are green rather than the purple of the species. This is  the same plant as A. ‘Jeff Albus’ and A. ‘Jardin en Face’. It’s more compact than the species.

Aruncus aethusifolius is a miniature version of Goatsbeard with a tight habit and white, Astilbe-like blooms. This makes a great subject for a woodland rockery or a companion for small wildflowers.

Agastache 'Raspberry Summer' PPAF is a new variety from Terra Nova. They say "Large, dark raspberry pink blooms adorn this plant summer and into fall. Impressive clusters of flowers form attractive clumps 32" tall of bright green, fragrant foliage."

Agastache ‘Blue Fortune’ has scented foliage and soft blue flowers on long spikes over a very long bloom season. This variety is very attractive to butterflies. In an informal poll taken, our Swallowtails chose this plant 3:1 over nearby Buddleias.

Could this new variety be named for Rowan Atkinson’s character in one of the all time great British comedies? Agastache ‘Black Adder’ is a clever, if not a particularly descriptive, name. I’ve noted some European sites have the spelling as Blackadder. Flowers are described as “smokey lilac opening from dark purple buds”. I’m not exactly sure what “smokey lilac” looks like but the pics I’ve seen have the blooms light lilac with darker backing bracts. North Creek has it rated highly for bloom time and hardiness.

Agastache 'Purple Haze' is a new variety, similar in form to the Agastache 'Blue Fortune'. The supplier’s description “Vibrant violet-purple flowers with deep rose pink calyces are presented on strong, upright stems from midsummer to early fall.” I look forward to trying this one out this season.

Anemone ‘Prinz Heinrich’ is a semi-double form with flowers that are usually described as deep rose. I think it has a little more red and less purple in it than many of the dark flowered cultivars.

Astrantia major is the most popular species and has many common names, among them Great Masterwort and Gentleman's Melancholy, but also Hattie’s Pincushion Flower, which I find more descriptive and interesting. The blooms are green-white with greenish collars, sometimes tinged pink to purple.

Astrantia ‘Sunningdale Variegated’ has foliage with clear, creamy edges and patches of pale green, very showy in the spring. The leaves transition to green as the summer progresses.  The white to light pink flowers are dense domes of tiny florets, with off white collars.

We aren’t sure of the ancestry of Campanula ‘Hot Lips’, but it sure looks an itty bitty form of Campanula punctata. It has the same spreading habit and the white, flushed pink flowers are the same pendant bells, only everything is much smaller.

Coreopsis ‘Full Moon’ is the newest form of this popular sun perennial. I haven’t seen it bloom in person yet, but our supplier says “After eight years of intensive breeding work with eight species of coreopsis, Darrell Probst is releasing the first plant in his Big Bang (TM) Series. 'Full Moon' PPAF is a showy hybrid with very large, canary yellow flowers that measure up to three inches across. They are held on well-branched stems atop a mound of healthy green, medium textured foliage. The plants are long blooming, from about midsummer into early fall.”
