Sneak a Peek at 3 of our New and Exciting Plants for 2009

Flower Carpet AMBER is one of the new Next Generation Flower Carpet roses with 20 years extra breeding providing improved heat tolerance and disease resistance in an already brilliant class of groundcover roses. They are tough, high-performance groundcover roses. Each bush is covered in a mass explosion of soft orange yellow blooms, aging to soft pink with a blush of peach. A truly stunning plant, Flower Carpet AMBER is simple to grow and easy to maintain, requiring no spraying in the landscape. Simply cut back to 1/3rd its size once in late winter or early spring.





Endless Summer “Twist-n-Shout Hydrangea macrophylla"
Like all plants in the Endless Summer Collection, Twist-n-Shout produces abundant blooms on both old and new wood all summer long. Gorgeous blossoms of pink or periwinkle blue surround lacy deep-pink center, depending on soil type. Sturdy red stems and glossy deep green leaves turn red-burgundy in fall to offer year-round interest in the garden. Twist-n-Shout is compact enough for containers, easy to care for and hardy to Zone 4.


















Lo & Behold ‘Blue Chip’ Buddleia is the first ever miniature butterfly bush to be introduced. This plant has it all, loads of fragrant long lasting blooms, easy to grow low maintenance and is deer resistant. It looks great in perennial gardens or grown in a container on the patio.
