Fricking taxonomists - we were so happy with Scilla scillioides.  Choice and seldom ofered Chines/Japan/Korean bulb that flowers in late summer with 10"-15" stems of Scilla-like pinkish-lavender flowers without the distraction of its grassy leaves.  Pretty cool and easy naturalizer that we can finally offer.

Nice gallon size.

Sanguisorba hybrids Sanguisorba hybrids

These Sanguisorba arose as self-sown seedlings from our sales area where we have had various species and selections for sale.  We are using the catch-all "hybrids" because the bees adore the pink to red conical flowers and they were visiting all of them!  Customers were always asking if we had the plant blooming under the tables - now we do.

Santolina chamaecyparissus 'Small-ness' Santolina chamaecyparissus 'Small-ness'

Compact little plant that lends itself to formal edging as it is naturally a very tight, small rounded dome of small green leaves that gets its groove on with a shameless display of yellow button flowers.  We will never be confused with formal and in keeping, our plant is immensely happy in our free-form dry garden.  Just a quick shearing of the spent flowers and good to go.  Deer proof.
