As we continue to preview a few of our new plants for 2015, here is a plant we’ve lusted after for years, and are finally able to share. Bletilla striata ‘Ogon’ is a very rare, gold-leafed selection of the hardy orchid. It’s hard to really capture the color well with my photographic skills, but it’s

New for 2015 is Asarum nobilissimum ‘King Kong’. This Plant Delights selection has massive 4″ wide flowers which are yellow with purple specks, compared to the typical darker purple flower. We’re guessing this should be a Zone 7a plant at least. Asarum inflatum ‘Shanghai’ is an incredible wild ginger from plantsman Jim Waddick. It’s taken

2015 will be the first year to share our first jack-in-the-pulpit hybrid, Arisaema ‘Crossing Over’. This unique jack is a cross we made back in the mid-1990s of Arisaema fargesii and Arisaema heterophyllum. The offspring inherited the best traits of both parents. This should be a solid Zone 5 plant at least. Another “off the

For those who love century plants, here are few that you’ll find in the 2015 catalog that is now only 8 days from going live. The first is our hybrid of Agave striata x Agave bracteosa that we named Agave ‘Straight and Narrow’. It’s a small agave, with virtually no offsets. We’ve had this

As we continue featuring some of our new plant introductions that will be in our 2015 catalog, we’d like to introduce you to Polygonatum odoratum ‘Goldilocks’…our new Solomon’s Seal, which started life here as a seedling well over a decade earlier. Polygonatum ‘Goldilocks’ is the only variegated Solomon’s seal that also produces fruit, which in

Also in the same family as the mayapple, we’d like to introduce you to Epimedium wushanense ‘Starlite’. All Epimedium wushanense are great, but this clone stood out in our trials, so after many years of division, we finally have enough to share. The large clump stretches out to over 3′ wide and 18″ tall…truly amazing.
