| The field yet still has a bit of color. The distant yellow is Rudbeckia subtomentosa, a large growing perennial Black Eyed Susan. But the real star of the show this time of year are our very late bloomers. Bed 21, is full of them and it looks like peak season!
The Canna Lilies in the background, make a perfect tropical looking foil for the lilies.
We are closed for walk-ins, except for pick up orders and special arrangements

| Olallie Little Pinky: A shorter late bloomer that really performs well this time of year. A fast increaser, and as such it’s on the less expensive side. |

|
|
|
|
| Still Night: about halfway through it’s bloom period. Still night adds some much needed deep color to the end of the season |

| We still have lots of our landscape mix. Minimum order is 10 blooming size plants. This is a great way to get a mix of cultivars. And there will be early, mid and somewhat late cultivars represented.
Order now with shipments starting in mid September.
It’ll be an interesting mix this year, as I’m culling some of my hybridizing beds |

| This time of year proliferations appear. They are much like the baby plants you see growing off of Spiderplants (the houseplant). These can be rooted very easily, to produce more plants. They may take a bit of extra care to survive the winter as the roots are not very developed.
In the second picture, you can see the beginning of a root, a pale green-white spot. This wil quickly become a real root, usually within a week or so. |

| Queen Anne’s Lace ‘Dara’ is one of my favorite cut flowers for this year. Each flower is different in the amount of coloration it presents. but the subtle color mix is quite eye catching. They last a long time as a cut flower too. |
