Achillea 'Moonshine' (Yarrow) | |
| Soft silver foliage frames this nice mellow, yellow Achillea. A shorter version perfect for that sunny, dry spot in your gardens. Easy to grow and not particular about soil. Attracts butterflies.
Zone: 3 |
 | |
 Achillea millefolium 'Saucy Seduction' (Yarrow) | |
| Saucy, deep rose flower clusters will seduce you with its tidy habit and uniform flowering. Improvement from the earlier yarrow, with stronger stems and more compact shapes. Better branching and shorter internodes results in a more even canopy. Combine with the L.A. Hybrid lily Turandot or the beautiful white Astilbe ‘Irrlicht’. Photo courtesy of Walter's Gardens.

Actaea pachypoda (White Baneberry) | |
| We have been trying to get this beautiful and unusual native for years. The delicate white flowers form small clusters followed by white or red berries. CAUTION. If you have small children, stay away from this one as it is highly poisonous! With as few as 6 berries, it could cause death in a small child. In a natural setting however, in an adult setting, it is quite gorgeous. Combine with native Polygonatum calcium 'Variegatum' or with the ornamental rhubarb Rheum palmatum ‘Tangutica’.

Actaea simplex 'Black Negligee' (Bugbane) | |
| Totally awesome foliage! The purple-tinted flowers project 2 feet above the lacy dark foliage. If that isn't enough, the blossoms have an exotic perfume of grape and jasmine. Moose don't like it. This is one of Terra Nova Nursery's nicest new introductions. Plant in full sun and provide plenty of moisture to enjoy the darkest foliage. Planting a base of the new Ajuga 'Golden Glow' will accent the dark foliage plus help keep the moisture in the soil. Miscellaneous Name: Cimicifuga Zone: 4 |
| |
Ajuga reptans 'Binblasca' Black Scallop (Bugleweed) | |
| About as close to black as you can get, this Ajuga is a bit more chunky in appearance than other Ajuga. Will do quite well in our climate in full sun or shade. Because of the dark appearance, we recommend a nice sunny spot, perhaps next to a creamy hosta. Great for borders. Combine with cream hostas.
Zone: 4 |
| |
Ajuga reptans 'Burgundy Glow' (Bugleweed) | |
| One of my absolute favorites for those hard places, such as under trees or along pathways. The glossy foliage will have more color in sun. Ajuga will cascade over the sides of containers. Hummingbirds like it. Zone: 3 |
| |
Ajuga reptans 'Purple Brocade' (Bugleweed) | |
| Great, vigorous ground cover for full sun or part shade. Foliage is definitely a plus on this one with bronze leaves that stay crisp and clear all summer. The bright blue spiky flower in early summer is just a bonus to the splendid foliage.
Zone: 2 |
| |
Alcea rosea (Hollyhock) | |
| Tall, sturdy spikes of ruffled, fully double, scarlet red flowers. Hollyhock open from the bottom up allowing the blossoms to be on exhibit for a long period of time. Plant in a non-windy site and no staking will be required. Alcea should be treated as a short-lived perennial but definitely worth it. Grow in rich, moist, well-drained soils.
Miscellaneous Name: Chater's Double Group scarlet-flowe Zone: 2 |
| |
Alcea rosea 'Chater's Double Hybrids' (Hollyhock) | |
| It's a surprise. That is the color. These fully double midsummer bloomers start at the bottom of the stalk and progress to the top providing a long season of flowers. The tall stalks are sturdy but might require staking in windy areas. Excellent drainage will assure survival over the winter.
Zone: 2 |
| |
Alchemilla mollis (Lady's Mantle) | |
| The green baby breath-appearing blossoms are terrific in cut flower bouquets. Water beads up on the edges of the leaves, resembling little silver beads long after everything else has dried. Combine with spiky iris and Lysimachia 'Golden Alexander' for a very attractive vignette. Zone: 3 |
| |
Anemone sylvestris (Snowdrop) | |
| Wonderful anemone white flowers brighten up any garden, sun or part shade. One of my absolute favorites. Spreads nicely. Moose resistant. Combine with Papaver 'Champaigne Bubbles', Allium, Primula 'Wanda' or Primula auricula. Zone: 3 |
| |
Angelica gigas (Wild Parsnip) | |
| I fell in love all over again when I saw this plant repeated many times in Piet Oudolf's Dream Garden in Sweden. Huge heads of dark ruby soar above the foliage. Piet Oudolf combined Angelica with our wonderful Aruncus dioicus and Eupatorium (Joe Pye Weed). This is an herb. Combine with Aconitum 'Bicolor', Trollius chinensis (late trollius), Eryngium 'Saphire'. Zone: 4 |
| |
Antennaria sp. (Pussy Toes) | |
| Native to Alaska, this nice blue-green ground cover shoots up a single stem with a flower that appears like a cat paw, thus the common name of pussy toes. A native plant, it makes a very tight ground cover. Almost chokes out weeds. Very worthy plant for between pavers and along paths. Zone: 3 |
| |
Aquilegia 'Leprechaun Gold' (Columbine) | |
| Beautiful, double, dark purple flowers stand out as they ascend above mounding, yellow and green, marbled foliage. One of the few plants that will flower in shade in cold climates.
Zone: 3 |
| |
Aquilegia canadensis 'Red Lantern' (Columbine) | |
| Dainty orange-red lanterns hang from these smaller columbines. Very similar to our native columbine. Very nice with an Ajuga 'Burgundy Glow' mat at its base. Attracts hummingbirds. Zone: 3 |
| |
Aquilegia flabellata 'Cameo Blue' (Columbine) | |
| In our gardens every early summer, our border of 'Cameo Blue' causes quite the stir. Dark sky-blue flowers with white centers make an excellent display. Combine with any of the dwarf iris or Pulsatillas. Attracts hummingbirds. Zone: 3 |
| |
Aquilegia vulgaris 'Clementine Dark Purple' (Columbine) | |
| This series is spectacular. The pristine, compact habit and totally upright flower stems present out of a tight mound of fragile foliage. Spurless, dark purple flowers combine nicely with the white Anemone sylvestris. Attracts hummingbirds. Zone: 3 |
| |
Aquilegia vulgaris var. stellata 'Blue Barlow' (Columbine) | |
| You either love 'em or you hate 'em. That's the spurless columbine varieties I'm talking about. I love them and from the way they have been flying out the door over the past 2 years, I think you must love them, too. This one adds to our pinks, dark purple, white and light purple Clementine collection. Even though they are hybrids, we've had some come true to seed.

Arabis arendsii 'Compinkie' (Rock Cress) | |
No Photo Available | A very sweet, tiny rock cress that blooms for a long time. I love this little guy along my paths, sneaking into the pavers. Combine with minor spring bulbs, Primula auricula, 'Primula Wanda', Primula allionii or with Dicentra 'King of Hearts'. Zone: 3 |
| |
Armeria maritima 'Rubrifolia' (Sea Pink) | |
| Bright pink, ball-shaped flowers stand out more above the dark grass-like foliage. Really shows off in grey rocked gardens. Good interest in containers. Combine with Ajuga 'Golden Glow', Arabis 'Compinkie' or Phlox 'Candy Stripes'. Miscellaneous Name: Thrift Zone: 3 |
| |
Artemisia schmidtiana 'Silver Mound' (Wormwood) | |
| So soft to touch, everyone wants to take one or three home. Combine with sedum. Circle with a short wire fence in early spring to insure it won't flop open. Leave fence forever. This is an herb that moose don't like. Combine with one of the 40 or so short Primula. Zone: 3 |
| |
Artemisia stelleriana 'Silver Brocade' (Wormwood) | |
| Slinking among the rocks, this very white-silver foliage plant is easy to grow. Cut it back hard in the fall or when it first comes back in the spring to keep it tidy. Combined with the Ajuga 'Burgundy Glow', the two distinct colors really show off against each other. Zone: 3 |
| |
Aruncus dioicus (Goat's Beard) | |
| The flowers are produced on feathery, creamy white open panicles that soar above the foliage and resemble a giant Astilbe. Our native Alaska Aruncus sylvester grow all along Turnagain arm and looks like waves of wheat in the wind. A lovely site I seek out each time I journey past. Could be used as a shrub or hedge. Combine with Aconitum, Iris sibirica, Angelica gigas. This one attracts butterflies and bees. Zone: 3 |
| |
Astilbe 'Deutschland' (False Spirea) | |
| Pure white open lacy panicles dance above the glossy, deep green foliage. Great foliage all season. Remember whites open the garden and provide a neutralizer. Don't depend on the tag's notes that say shade. This one requires lots of sun in Alaska. Photo courtesy of Walter's Gardens.
Zone: 4 |
| |
Astilbe 'Irrlicht' (False Spirea) | |
| Airy plumes of densely packed tiny white flowers are real showstoppers. Foliage has attractive small toothed green leaflets. Combine with Lilium 'America' and stand back for the oohs and ahhs.
