type roses. In constant windy areas, add 12” of straw above the mulch to protect the canes. Secure with
chicken wire.
Fertilize new roses after 1st bloom period, then monthly. Fertilize 2nd year and established roses
4-6 weeks prior to 1st bloom period and then monthly. Always water roses the day before applying
fertilizer: thereafter when top 3” of soil is dry:

slow rate on top of the root ball (that’s the roots inside of the container). Until plant is
established in your soil. Your sprinkler system / drip system my not be enough water at first.
Hydrangeas do best and flower true to species color in acidic, well-drained soil rich organic
material. Use aluminum sulphate, soil sulpher, or acid based fertilizer to make soil acidic. Prefers full
to part shade, afternoon shade is highly recommended. Planting in raised beds is the simplest way to
give these plants the conditions they require. The finished bed should be 1-2 feet above the original
level. Liberally mix organic material into the top foot of native soil, then fill bed above it with a
mixture that's 50% organic material, 30% soil and 20% sand. This mixture will hold air and moisture
while allowing alkaline salts to leach through. All hydrangeas require afternoon shade!!

Lilacs: when and how to prune.
Prune lilacs immediately after flowering, to remove spent blooms. Next spring’s flowering buds
are produced in July and August. So avoid removing them with late pruning. Cutting off spent flowers
right after blooming, this ensures that the shrub’s energy goes into producing flower buds for next year,
not seeds this year.
Each year when plants are dormant remove about a quarter of the oldest branches, and
crossovers. Starting low and working up. If you wish to rejuvenate an old plant, cut one-third of the
73
oldest, thickest stems you can find. Start at ground level, and remove any thin wimpy suckers you see.
Over a few years this old non-flower wood, will be replaced with young more vigorous wood. You
won’t lose very many blooms because old overgrown plants do not bloom very well.
Young lilacs should start flowering in the 2nd or 3rd year after planting. But it can take five or
six years for them to bloom. Lilacs can produce heavy blooms one year and very few the next. Spring
blooms are influenced by the previous season’s weather. Other conditions that effects blooming are,
soil, watering, fertilization, planting techniques, and plant care. The best blooms tend to follow cool,
sunny summers mixed with a little old fashion T.L.C.
Lilacs like alkaline (Utah) soil. All lilacs are fragrant. * = indicates varieties with above average
fragrance. All are good cut flowers. All do well in full sun/part shade.

Japanese & Japanese like Maples
Great Bonsai or container plants require winter protection when potted and will remain smaller.
NOTICE: Don't prune out large (palmate type) leaves on new growth wood on variegated or laceleaf
maples. The following year the variegated or lacy (dissectum) leaves usually emerge.
Japanese Maples need direct sun light to have bronze or red colored leaves. Cut leaf types need
to be protected from HOT summer winds, and would like a little afternoon shade, say from 3pm on.
Also if we are having HOT summer winds, water your Japanese maples from the ground. NEVER
water the foliage, as this can cause burn spots on the leaves. Remember to late fall and winter water
them also. One of the best ways to kill a plant is let it get dry during the late fall or early winter when
there is a lack of moisture.

AZALEA (RHODODENDRON FAMILY)
Azaleas in clay or alkaline soil; they don't like either. Planting in raised beds is the simplest way
to give these plants the conditions they require. The finished bed should be 1-2 feet above the original
soil level. Liberally mix organic material into top foot of native soil. Then fill bed above it with a
mixture that's 50% organic material, 30% soil and 20% sand. This mixture will hold air and moisture
while allowing alkaline salts to leach through.
Azaleas require acidic, well-drained soil to bloom true to species color and maintain good plant
health. Use aluminum sulphate, soil sulfur or acid based mulch. Cultivate carefully to avoid root
damage.

RHODODENDRON
Rhodies in clay or alkaline soil? They don't like ether. Planting in raised beds is the simplest
way to give these plants the conditions they require. The finished bed should be 1-2 feet above the
original soil level. Liberally mix organic material into top foot of native soil, fill bed above with a
mixture that's 50% organic material, 30% soil and 20% sand. This mixture will hold air and moisture
108
while allowing alkaline salts to leach through.
Rhodies require acidic, well-drained soil to bloom true to species color and maintain good plant
health. Use aluminum sulphate, soil sulfur or acid based fertilizer to change alkaline soil to acid.
Shallow surface roots benefits from mulch. Cultivate carefully to avoid root damage. Please protect
them from the wind all year round.

CLEMATIS Full sun to part shade:
Needs cool roots; Keep roots shaded and the vine in full to part sun. Generally red flowers tolerate sun,

Planting Clematis:
Before removing plants from container, submerge it in a bucket of water for ten minutes. Plant in welldrained soil enriched with composted manure or compost. Mix bone meal in the bottom of the hole to
encourage deep root growth. Clematis need plentiful feeding and watering until established. Mulching
around plant base helps shade the roots, conserves moisture and reduces weeds. Low-growing plants
can also be used to shade the root area.
Pruning Clematis: Clematis are divided into three basic types for pruning.
First year; prune stems of all types to 1' from ground in early spring.
Type A – Second year; early spring, cut all stems to 3' tall.
Third and subsequent years; cut out weak or dead stems after flowering.
Type B – Second year; early spring, cut all stems to 3' tall.
Third and subsequent years; cut back all stems back to a strong pair of
buds in early spring and tie stems to their support.
120
Type C – Second and subsequent years; cut back all stems back to just above the base of the previous
season's growth;
We carry a wide range of colors in Clematis and the list will change from year to year. Please stop by
around or after Mothers Day and see what we have on hand. We strive to keep up on the new
releases that will grow best in our area. And all of the old Favorites. Colors range from single pale
blue to bicolor of mauve and light pink, and every color under the rainbow.

HARDY WATER LILIES
Nymphaea app: We carry Yellow, Red, White, Salmon, Pink, and changeable types. They can
be left in your pond year-round if their roots remain below the level of the ice. If your pond is shallow,
the roots must be lifted and stored for the winter. Hardy Lilies are day bloomers. The flowers close at
night. They do best in still water, with ample space and a warm, sunny location. For better blooms,
Lilies should be repotted in a 12 inch diameter pot the spring following the year of purchase.
Remember Lilies are heavy feeders during the growing season so fertilize monthly.

PERENNIALS
PERENNIALS are typically non-woody (herbaceous), or semi-woody plants that die back in
autumn then grow back from the roots in the spring. There are some evergreen varieties and semievergreen varieties as well.
BIENNIALS are plants that normally complete their life cycle in 2 years. Typically biennials
grow from seed the first year, bloom and set seed the second year, and then die. Many biennials are self
seeding, which allows the plant to replenish itself for years.
*Our perennials prices range from $3.49 to $39.00 and are based on container size and plant
varieties. All prices are subject to change. The varieties listed in this catalog are representative of what
we grow but the list is not comprehensive. Some varieties may not be available but we strive to have a
wide selection of perennials on hand. If you are searching for a specific plant variety not listed in this
catalog please ask us regarding its availability. We can special order some varieties we don’t normally
carry if sufficient quantities are desired.
Our goal is to provide perennials that are targeted for our area and we list USDA hardiness
zones as well as try to provide size and water usage facts for our products.

from tight strap like clusters of leaves to arching feathery fronds. Ferns provide contrast and texture as
well as unique foliage color. Ferns range a great deal in size from about 12 inches up to 6 feet and can
be solitary or colonial. Note* There are no truly red ferns in cultivation at this time. The reddest
varieties are either red stemmed athyrium, purple-red painted ferns, or bronzy-orange autumn ferns. If
you have further questions about this ask an employee.
Adiantum - Maidenhair ferns. These ferns have delicate leaves and black or dark stems.
Athyrium - Lady ferns. These are some of the most popular ferns and include the colorful
Japanese painted ferns (A. nipponicum), Victorian lady fern (A. felix-femina) and many others. Noted
for their delicate lacy leaves and unique colors.

intense copper or golden color on the new foliage and is very striking. Other varieties have more
typical green fronds with some varieties being somewhat drought tolerant once established.

commonly thought to resemble flower stalks or cinnamon sticks and add a unique architectural feature
to the shade garden. They are quite large in general and may form extensive colonies.
Polystichum - Sword ferns. P. munitum or Western Sword Fern is the most popular and well
suited to slightly drier climates. Shiny dark green leaves are typical.
Note* There are no truly red ferns in cultivation at this time. The reddest varieties are either red stemmed

or yellow and may be solid colors or have a darker eye. Hibiscus break dormancy VERY late and some

GRASSES (ORNAMENTAL VARIETIES)
Grasses and grassy perennials are a unique and indispensable part of the modern garden. They vary in
height from a few inches to more than 10 feet and add a unique look to any situation whether wet or
dry, sunny or shady. Grasses also decrease soil erosion. Grasses are usually identified by their flower
or plume. Since grasses are wind pollinated they usually don’t have brightly colored flowers but their
plumes can be beautiful in spite of the lack of bright colors. Cool season grasses are grasses that prefer
the cooler temperatures of spring and fall for growing vigorously and should be divided at these times.
Warm season grasses do most of their growing in the heat of the summer and should be divided only in
late spring when they have begun to break dormancy. Grasses are also not typically cut down in the
fall with other perennial but allowed to remain through winter. True grasses are included in the
botanical order Poacea, but there are many perennials that resemble grasses and can be used as a grass
in form and function including sedges, rushes, day lilies, irises and others. Grasses are an ever
increasing part of gardens today because they are so easy to grow and so uniquely beautiful,
Acorus – (VARIEGATED SWEET FLAG, JAPANESE FLAG)
Evergreen or semi evergreen clump forming grassy leaves. Most varieties have a glossy luster to the
foliage. A. gramineus cultivars range from the tiny Minimus Aureus at 2-4” tall x 12” wide to about
12”x12” for ‘Variegatus’. A. calamus varieties tend to be much larger at about 2-3’ tall x 2’ wide.
Arundo donax – (GIANT REED, FALSE BAMBOO)
A. ‘Peppermint Stick’ – Variegated green and white variegated form from 6-12’ tall. Variegation
tends to hold up better than other varieties in hot summers, and it is less invasive than the species.
A. ‘Golden Chain’ – Variegated gold and green variety up to 7’ tall. Less vigorous than other types.
See also deciduous shrubs.
Bamboo - The bamboo family are true grasses that are perennial, and often evergreen.
Most
varieties are not very hardy, but we do carry some varieties. They fall into two main categories,
clumping bamboo or running bamboo. Clumping forms are generally easy to contain and spread
slowly from close to the base of the plant, while running bamboo sends out underground rhizomes, and
tends to spread out quickly.
Fargesia – Clump forming bamboo. Fargesia tends to have a vase shape with the tops spilling over
and are often thickly covered in leaves. Best used as specimen plants.
Phyllostachys – Running bamboo. Phyllostachys is best used as a privacy screen, or hedge, and will
require a physical barrier to keep it contained in one area. Root pruning can also be effective. Often
cultivars of this genus have multicolored or crooked stems providing additional interest.
171
Carex – (SEDGE)

vigorous than ‘Overdam’ but looks paler, as the majority of the leaf blade is creamy white.
C. ‘Eldorado’ least upright of common cultivars, this grass has more of a fountain shape than others
which are starkly upright. Notable due to its gold on green variegation and shiny texture.
Cortaderia – (TRUE PAMPAS GRASS)

and fade through the summer to tan. Green foliage forms a nice fountain shape and reaches about 3-4’
tall and up to 5’ wide. Very showy as a specimen or mass planting.
Phalaris – (RIBBON GRASS)
A low growing fast spreading grass with beautiful strawberry pink, white, and green foliage. Useful as
a groundcover but needs to be contained in order to not spread too much in a more formal setting.
Benefits from being cut back hard in hot weather, as the leaves may burn a bit. Very tough, and
tolerates sun or part shade. (Zone 2)
Saccharum ravennae – (HARDY SUGARCANE, RAVENNA GRASS)

brown fall color.
Stipa – (FEATHER GRASS, NEEDLE GRASS)
Very fine leaves with wispy seed heads that start out pink or white and turn tan. A very delicate and
graceful grass. Excellent in containers as an annual, or in a dry bed. Plants will die from winter wet,
so plant in a very well drained area. Also, be cautious with S. tenuissima, as it can self seed
prolifically. It is very easy to identify as a seedling from its very fine, hair-like leaves, so to the
vigilant gardener it will not become a problem. Treat as a self seeding annual in colder zones. (Zone 6)
Typha – (CAT-TAIL)
Long very vertical leaves. Native variety can be invasive and is solid green with cigar or hotdog
shaped seed heads. Best planted in very moist soil, but can spread via underground rhizomes and
should be contained in any setting. (Zone 3)
T. ‘Variegata’ Variegated and less aggressive form of cat-tail with 3-4’ tall upright blades with creamy
variegation. Very striking in the rear of the perennial border or as a marginal or aquatic plant. Best
grown in pots or tubs in the ground.
‘T. minima’ small round seed heads resembling brown fishing bobbers adorn cylindrical leaf blades.
Very cute in a small space, lending itself well to pots or containers, including miniature water gardens.
Native grasses
Other varieties of native grasses are available seasonally or upon request. Feel free to inquire with a
member of the Perennial Dept.
Note*** There are no hardy Purple Fountain Grasses at this time. The reddest summer color varieties
are Panicum ‘Blood Brother’ or ‘Shenandoah’. Purple Millet may behave as a perennial here and often
seeds will grow true to the parent variety. The fall colors of several types of grass also exhibit the
popular red or purple-red colors. If you have further questions about this ask an employee.
