Coreopsis - Sweet Dreams
The Coreopsis ‘Sweet Dreams’ is a wonderful new variety to the Coreopsis family. The dark green thread-like foliage makes a great contrast with its tipped white flower bleeding into a dark raspberry center, blooming from June through October. ‘Sweet Dreams’ is extremely drought tolerant with a plant height of 18” and a spread of 18-24”. With cool autumn weather, the flowers make an even more outstanding color scheme. ‘Sweet Dreams’ should be planted in full sun. It is drought-tolerant and tough but does need well-drained soil. It should be cut backing early and late summer to extend the bloom period. Coreopsis ‘Sweet Dreams’ looks great with any type of grass, in borders or mass plantings in sunny gardens.

Peony - Shawnee Chief The Peony Shawnee Chief, Paeonia 'Shawnee Chief' has deep red blossoms and is one of the most vigorous growers of all the peonies. Peonies are one of the best cut flowers and are often used in the Midwest to decorate gravesites on Memorial Day. All of our peonies are widely adaptable to most soils across the country. They bloom in mid to late spring and have very large, colorful blooms that stand out in the spring garden. Peonies can handle dry to moist sites, and do best in full sun but can handle some light shade. Often thought of as a plant used on the farm or out in the country, they bring a little bit of that country feeling to your garden. It is not uncommon to see peonies planted along the driveway or lane in a mass. |
