A few interesting plants for 2015
Michigan Bulb is a small, mail order plant supplier. They are noted for their modest prices. One caveat is that the size of their stock is small so whatever comes from them is a kind of investment in the future. Nonetheless, if you are a patient gardener, this supplier has some interesting plants to nurture.
Here is a photo of 'First Lady' double Siberian iris:
"NEW! This beauty takes center stage when it blooms in midsummer! Its 5" double, silver-blue blooms, veined in white, are absolutely stunning. And, its slightly arching, narrow grasslike leaves remain attractive all season. Thrives under regular to moist conditions.
Product Information:
Light: Full sun to partial shade
Height: 27"
Deer Resistant
Bloom Time: Midsummer
Size: Bareroot"
Echinacea 'Southern Belle'
Michigan bulb is featuring another interesting item, a coneflower called "Southern Belle.":
NEW! This uniquely colored beauty is sure to charm garden visitors. It produces deep, bright magenta double flowers that fade to softer pink in the last weeks of bloom. And, this standout is easy-care, deer resistant and attractive to birds and butterflies. PP23493
Product Information:
Light: Full sun
Height: 30-36"
Deer Resistant
Bloom Time: Early summer
Size: Bareroot
Zones: 4 to 9
Use this coneflower to add a dash of magenta to your garden. Because it is magenta, pair it with white coneflower and then complement it with a red or blue companion depending on your color scheme. Recall that magenta can be overrwhelming as it is red and blue competing for dominance.
A third offered item is yellow Dicentra or bleeding hearts
"NEW! Add months of color to your garden with this uniquely colored dicentra! Its fern-like, blue-gray foliage becomes bluer when planted in full sun to part shade. And the foliage creates the perfect backdrop for the long-blooming, sulphur-colored, heart-shaped pendant flowers.
Product Information:
Light: Full sun to shade
Height: 12-15"
Deer Resistant
Bloom Time: Late spring to early fall
Size: Bareroot
Zones: 3 to 8"
Should you decide to order these items, remember that the size of the plants sent will be small. However, you need only one to start an entire colony with patience. These can be divided and clumps moved to other areas and shared with other gardeners.
