New Plants for 2011
As usual, we seem to have gone overboard for 2010, with more than 100 new plants. But just take a look at these beauties and you'll see why we can't help it. By "new" we mean some are brand new to the market, some are new to us, and some are ones we've had a hard time getting recently. Download our order form and be sure to order early, as some will sell out quickly.
Aquilegia vulgaris var. flore-pleno 'Dorothy Rose' (Columbine) | |
No Photo Available | One of my favorite columbines. Soft pink flowers set inside each other (hose in hose) to provide an unusual pleated look. Absolutely great in a group or we grow these around the pond with our later blooming candelabra primula. Attracts hummingbirds, moose resistant.
Miscellaneous Name: Granny’s Bonnet Zone: 3 |

Lazula 'Lucius' () | |
| A new grass for us to try. Several Alaskan gardeners have had good experience with luzula but since it is a bit unproven on a wide scale, we’ve put them in smaller pots and priced accordingly. Wide, bright green leaves with creamy white flowers 6” above the foliage. 'Lucius' originally came from Alpine Europe. It flowers in the spring and early summer with a cloud of small, fluffy blooms that do resemble fallen snow. It flourishes in damp, shady conditions that so many true grasses dislike.

Lilium 'Dazzle' (Asiatic Lily) | |
| That's exactly how I felt when I first saw this buttercup yellow lily: dazzled. Wouldn't it look grand combined with Dianthus 'Firewitch' or Dicentra x 'Candy Hearts'?

Lilium 'Original Love' (L.A. Hybrid Lily) | |
| Large, open upward facing, deep orange-red flowers sport a darker spotting towards throat. Exceptional tall regal appearance would really be prominent displayed with Baptisia australlis, the Perennial Plant of the Year for 2010 or Eryngium 'Blue Glitter'.

Lilium 'Sefanja' (L.A. Hybrid Lily) | |
| Glowing, large upward-facing glossy orange blooms. A nice clear color. The petals are a bit more elongated than other lilies. Combine with ornamental grasses or one of the purple Veronicas for a stunning presentation.

Lilium 'Tresor' (Asiatic Lily) | |
| Wow! Talk about extreme color saturation. The artists in you will really love this one. Vivid reddish-orange midveins with less saturation of color around the edges. A few small spots just to break up the monotony of this killer color. Combine with achillea 'Terra Cotta' or verbascum 'Violette'
