'Minuteman' is a mutation of the ever-popular 'Francee,' but with a much richer, darker green center and cleaner white margin. Each leaf measures about 8 1/2 inches long and 6 inches wide with a white "hem" of anywhere from ½- to 1-inch wide. And count on it staying pristine all summer; 'Minuteman' won't fade or get raggedy.
Anemone 'Whirlwind — $9.95
Wide-open, delicate white blooms with a bright golden eye are 3 inches across. The flowers sway atop 3- to 4-foot plants. Blooms appear in September and October and add an airy texture and gleaming color to the fall landscape.
Brunnera macrophylla 'Variegata — $15.95
The blooms appear in spring, very showy and long-lasting. Held above the foliage, they serve as beacons guiding the eye down to the gorgeous leaves below. After they pass, the foliage takes precedence, creating a stunning two-tone effect that will not diminish even in summer heat and sun.

Daylily 'Primal Scream — $12.95
If you're new to Daylilies, welcome to the easiest perennial in the garden! They love sun but tolerate a bit of shade, and they need well-draining soil. Other than that, all bets are off -- these powerhouses thrive despite heat, humidity, drought, cold, poor soil, and just about anything else. Pamper them the first season to get their root system established: plenty of water, rich soil, all the nice little touches -- and then let them go. The only thing you'll have to do is divide them every once...
Astilbe 'Fanal — $7.95
This long-time Wayside favorite boasts delightfully decorative bronze foliage and flowers that are the darkest red of the Astilbes. Reaching 2 feet tall with spikes at least a foot long of rich garnet-red lightly dusted with white, it is one of the most vividly colored Astilbes, as well as one of the longest-lasting.
Astilbe 'Rheinland — $7.95
Lighten up the shade with an extra-bright, profuse infusion of pink! This Astilbe is among the most beautiful of all the shade-loving perennials, filling the mid- to late-summer air with huge 6-inch plumes of brightest pink. Imagine how it will stand out among the murky greens and blues of your shade garden -- or how it will look in a large planting all by itself, like a field of cotton candy!
Hosta 'Sagae — $14.95
Of heavy substance (that improves in heft and texture with each passing year), the leaves complement the vase-shaped growth habit. Large lavender flowers appear in midsummer above the foliage on 40-inch scapes, but though ornamental, they are not the focus of this perennial's beauty. The foliage is simply stunning, ending the year with gorgeous buttery-yellow tones in autumn before dying back for winter.
Aconitum fischeri — $9.95
From late summer through early autumn, the finely-cut dark green foliage of this plant is merely the base of the action: tall, elegant 8- to 10-inch spikes bearing a solid line of hooded bright blue blooms rise above the foliage. The stems are leathery and thick, holding up beautifully so that they never need staking. Very long-lasting, the flowers make superb cuts for the vase, and attract hummingbirds in the garden. There are few sources of late-season blue color, making A. fischerii all the more...
Potentilla fruticosa 'Pink Beauty' PP#9,874 — $19.95
The blooms are 1 inch across and open a pure, deep shade of pink. Cinquefoil runs from the yellow to the orange and light red, typically, so this new hue is quite a breakthrough. And these blooms are semi-double, strongly resembling roses as they burst open from plump round buds. They mature to a two-tone rosy-pink effect that is quite handsome. And considering they continue to flower all summer and fall, that's quite fortunate!
Hosta 'Minuteman — $12.95
'Minuteman' is a mutation of the ever-popular 'Francee,' but with a much richer, darker green center and cleaner white margin. Each leaf measures about 8 1/2 inches long and 6 inches wide with a white "hem" of anywhere from ½- to 1-inch wide. And count on it staying pristine all summer; 'Minuteman' won't fade or get raggedy.
Parthenocissus quinquefolia — $27.95
The new foliage opens bronze in spring, palmately divided, lightly serrated, and eventually reaching up to 4 inches wide. It quickly turns dark green for the remainder of spring and summer, then blazes in stunning, fiery red, crimson, and scarlet tones in autumn. Even the bare winter silhouette is impressive, with small bluish berries on red pedicels that birds find very nourishing.
Iris germanica 'Nehalem Bay — $13.95
Arising on stems reaching 38 inches high, the flowers on this late bloomer reach 4¼ inches wide, with thick petals (for longer lasting beauty in those sweltering summer days!) and rich colors. An amoena type, 'Nehalem Bay' offers standards of pure white and falls of rich azure, delightfully ruffled. It is a breathtaking sight in garden and vase!
Matteuccia struthiopteris — $12.95
Widely grown in Victorian gardens, Ferns are enjoying a renaissance of popularity. Few plants impart such a light, airy, cooling effect in the landscape, or provide such a range of foliage textures for the garden. Easy to grow, even in a lightly shaded southern woodland setting, they like a light, highly organic soil with ample moisture during their growing season, particularly as the plants are becoming established. Most prefer shade or partial shade.
Advanced Product Search - Award Winner — $27.95
Ophiopogon 'Nigrescens — $8.06
Just 6 inches high, this plant spreads about a foot wide, with long, slender, elegant leaves of a purple so dark they appear black. It sets small, bright pink blooms in summer, followed by glossy black berries that remain through autumn into winter, but its primary emphasis is on the splendid foliage. Such a nice change of pace from green- and blue-hued dwarf ornamental grasses!
Phlox 'Blue Paradise — $12.95
Hardy Phlox is the backbone of the summer garden, providing continuous bloom from midsummer till the colder temperatures of fall. Nothing is easier or more rewarding to grow for the sunny border, and the cut flowers are delightful in the vase. Select a spot in full sun or light shade with well-drained, moisture-retentive soil, deeply-worked (for good root development) and enriched with organics. Phlox are heavy feeders; you will want to keep the soil rich. Avoid overhead watering to prevent mildew...
Liriope 'Monroe White — $9.95
A classic but seldom seen Liriope, Monroe White offers gleaming white panicles symmetrically arrayed over narrow, strap-like foliage. This striking plant makes an exquisite specimen or ground cover, and is indispensable to formal plantings, pathways, and other parts of the garden where uniform edging is called for.
Asclepias tuberosa — $8.95
Why can't all wildflowers be as beautiful as bright, hardy Butterfly Flower? Big orange flowerheads burst into bloom in mid- to late summer, attracting every butterfly in the neighborhood to your garden and stealing the show with color so rich it almost glows! This lovely perennial is especially attractive to Monarch butterflies, acting as a nectar source and a host plant, providing a place for the butterflies to lay their eggs. The foliage is lovely, too, extending this Asclepias' beauty beyond...
Iris germanica 'Florentine Silk — $21.95
Like all Tall Beardeds, 'Florentine Silk' appears in late spring or early summer, depending on how far north you are and how sunny your weather is. It loves full sunshine everywhere but the deep South, and once established, it's quite drought tolerant. Deer and rabbits and other nibbling creatures leave it alone, and it's quite trouble-free, asking only to be divided into new plants every few years to keep the bloom strength up.
Hydrangea Endless Summer™ PP #15,298 — $29.95
This mophead begins bearing its massive 8- to 10-inch flower clusters when the weather warms up in summer, and just keeps reblooming all the way into fall. Selected at a Minnesota nursery, it has amazing flower power - my 3 plants were still in full color at Thanksgiving here in South Carolina! The flowers are pink or blue, depending on your soil pH (acid for blue blooms, alkaline for pink) and are splendid as cut flowers either fresh or dried!
Rose Cecile Brunner — $14.95
Possibly no rose has been sported on so many happy occasions as 'Cecile Brunner,' a miniature hybrid tea popular since the Victorian era. These small blooms are so perfect, with their evocative scent, dainty form, and long, strong stems! And the plant is just the right size for a garden corner, container, or mass display along the bed, border, or walkway. 'Cecile Brunner' is a festive rose you will want to make a part of your indoor and outdoor flower display.
Algoflash Rose Fertilizer — $11.95
Algoflash Rose Fertilizer has an analysis of 5-6-7. These numbers represent the percentage of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium (N-P-K) contained in this fertilizer. Nitrogen (always the first number) is important to stimulate growth rate and to "green up" the foliage so that it can process nutrients more efficiently. Phosphorus, the middle number, stimulates root growth. And Potassium, the last number, stimulates flowering and fruiting.
Weigela florida 'Variegata Item # 41339 — $9.95
Weigela are free-blooming shrubs that flower primarily in early summer. Excellent in the shrub border, they do best in full sun to light shade (some shade is necessary in areas with hot summers). Select a spot free from competing plant roots and a well-drained, yet moisture retentive soil. Weigelas bloom on last year's growth, so prune in summer immediately after flowering for a profusion of gorgeous color next season. Loves hot summers! Zones 4-8.
