Dahlia Red And White Blend Dahlias last for days as a cut flower. They contrast wonderfully to create a dramatic look. They are hardy in zones 8-10; elsewhere dig and store in a frost-free area. The Red & White Dahlia Blend, 'Dahlia Blend', will provide non-stop summer to fall color. This blend contains our favorite fiery red and pure white dahlias.
Peony Tree Shimane Island Collection The Shimane Island Tree Peony Collection, 'Paeonia', contains 3 plants, 1 each of High Noon, Koukamon, & Shima-nishiki. We're not sure what the penalty was for infringing this law, but it can't have been very pleasant. Fortunately for us, tree peonies are now slightly more available. There are very few plants that can compete with a tree peony in full bloom. A mature plant can have in excess of a hundred flowers and these can be 10" or more across! The flowers range in color from maroon, crimson, scarlet, various shades of pink, to pure white. Japanese tree peonies tend to have less double flowers than their Chinese peers, and the flowers are more open and delicate.

The Crocosmia is also commonly known as Monbretia. This plant has attractive foliage. Crocosmias are clump forming and bloom best in crowded conditions.
Daylily Stella De Oro 5”. With dark green foliage, this daylily will reach a height of 12” and a plant spread of 12-24”. It has been named Perennial of the Year. ‘Stella de Oro’ will bloom from May through July, with outstanding color and a definite re-bloomer, more than any in its family. ‘Stella de Oro’ prefers a full sun area that is well-drained.

Gladiolus Blue Isle They make striking accents in a mixed border. Plant in groups of six or more in the garden, or grow lots of them for cuttings in a bed.

In frost prone areas, dig them when the leaves turn yellow, dip them in a fungicide, and store in a dry frost free location over winter.
