Five mixed color miniature snapdragons in an earthtone 10 inch plastic planter. Snapdragons tolerate cold weather pretty well, and also continue blooming into hot weather. These bright colors will liven your deck or patio all spring and summer, if you keep them well watered. The warmer the weather, the more water they will need. If you bring them to part shade as the weather warms, they may tolerate the heat better.

Five multicolored Violas ("baby pansies") in an earthtone 10 inch plastic planter. These spring colors will liven your deck or patio till the really hot weather arrives, and then a bit longer. The warmer the weather, the more water they will need. If you bring them to a part shade location as the weather warms, they will bloom longer this spring. For renewed fall blooms, regularly water and care for them over summer.

Native to Europe's high meadows and mountain slopes of the Alps, Aquilegia alpina, commonly known as Alpine Columbine, is a compact species with charming, bright violet-blue, bonnet-shaped, nodding flowers (2-3 in. wide; 5-7 cm), which rise elegantly on slender stems above a lovely fern-like, blue-green foliage. Columbines bloom in early to mid-spring They like medium to light watering once established in poor to average, but well-drained soil. Partial shade is preferred, but full sun is tolerated with slightly more watering. The highly attractive blooms are long-lasting cut flowers. Consider adding Aquilegia to rock gardens, shady borders, or in masses along walks or drives.

Dug this spring from a grove in my yard and potted in gallon pots. These are first-year plants, still small, and may not bloom next year. This native shrub, American Elder or Sambucus canadensis, has been known for its delicious fruit (for use in jellies, pies or wine) since native American times. It has more recently been used in landscapes for its spectacular blossoms and dramatically colored berries. The Elderberry is also a fantastic wildlife habitat, providing both shelter for small animals and a healthy food source. Elderberries are both drought and cold-tolerant, adapt to almost any soil type and most drainage conditions and have few pests. They grow 6 to 12 feet high in an oval or rounded shape. The white flower clusters are generally 6 to 10 inches in diameter and are very showy with a nice fragrance. The fruit, which is pleasantly tart but high in vitamin C, is a smooth round berry measuring three-sixteenths-inch in diameter growing in broad flat clusters. Grows in zones: 3 - 9

Giant Japanese Fern is thought to be a result of a cross between a typical Athyrium nipponicum pictum, Japanese Painted Fern, and its cousin the lady fern (Athyrium filix-femina). A very unique and rewarding hardy fern, this delightful selection performs well in any rich, evenly moist soil. It forms a massive, arching 3 feet tall clump of silvery fronds with green highlights on dark purple stems. Terrific for edging the shade border, in the rock garden, or in containers. Deciduous. Leaves may be trimmed to the ground in late fall or early spring. Plants are easily divided in spring, every 3 to 4 years. As with all athyriums, deer-resistance is excellent.

This lovely fern grows around 12-18" tall and slowly multiplies to form a large clump 24" across. The fronds are approximately 18" long and are a soft-grey metallic color with hints of red and blue. The center stem is red so the contrast is excellent. This variety has more burgundy color at all seasons than the other one I offer. This fern prefers partial rather than deep shade. It is an excellent contrast plant to other shade perennials, such as Hosta, bleeding hearts, columbines, astilbe, and heuchera.
