The all-gold sport of H. 'Guacamole', a fast grower with beautiful and large white fragrant flowers in August. This large mound boasts beautiful glossy gold leaves and will be noticed in any garden.

(P. Aden 1986) Large Cultivar

[Hybrid of H. 'Neat Splash' H. plantaginea]

Do not prune the river birch between May 1st and August 1st, as this is the time period when the bronze birch borers are out in full force.

Tropical or Tender Perennial, needs consistently moist soil and cannot dry out between watering.

This shrub gets about 6 hours of morning sun and it's just enough to give it the golden color.

4-way branching (2 laterals + terminal 'y').

The slugs love this plant.

Very upright hosta with red legs. Some sun tolerance and slug resistant.

Even though the scapes are very tall for this small plant of mine, they did not fall over!

This is the only Hosta that sat in full sun all summer and did not fry or receive even half the water that the others got. Very tough hosta.

Doesn't seem to mind a bit of sun.

Every 'June' will look different depending on how much sun it gets. I have three and they are all different. I really like that.

I planted this in the driest part of the yard where there are loads of tree roots and the soil is bone dry. It thrives where nothing else will. Also, when the morning dew is on the flowers they sparkle in the sunlight, thus the name 'Diamond Grass.'

It comes back every year bigger and better. It's drought tolerant, but will not bloom unless it rains. Mine has grown to be almost 7 feet tall and 6 feet wide. Flowers are about 8 inches wide.

Very easy to grow.

Also known as H. montana 'Choko Nishiki'. Hosta 'On Stage' is a sport of H. montana. Bright, golden-yellow, thick leaves with irregular green margins. A fast grower. Sun and Slug resistant.

Many of the modern cultivars of Buddleia davidii have dramatically reduced fertility and are not invasive at all. Many hybrid cultivars (such as ‘Blue Chip') are almost completely sterile and pose no threat. Some low viability selections include, Buddleia ×weyeriana, Buddleia fallowiana, Buddleia hemsleyana, Buddleia longifolia, Buddleia macrostachya, and Buddleia nivea.

A sport of H. 'Paul's Glory', this plant has the opposite colors of its parent with dark green leaves and yellow to gold margins which are heavily corrugated. Pale lavender flowers open in midsummer.

Oleanders are hardy, low-maintenance, drought-tolerant shrubs with pretty flowers over a long period.
Good for coastal gardens, screening hedging, also wind and fire break.
Tolerates neglect and light frost once established.
