Vernonia lettermanii – narrow-leaf ironweed
I do love the foliage of the American native, narrow-leaf ironweed, Vernonia lettermanii…even before it’s topped with the purple flowers. It’s just so hard to find great textural plants like this. Average to dry soil moisture and a sunny site are the key to success with this one.

Check out this aucuba
I’ve been writing catalog copy for the last few weeks and here’s a sneak peak at one of the many cool new offerings, Aucuba japonica ‘Natsu no Kumo’ PP 14,744. The new foliage emerges an incredible ivory white. The new catalog goes on-line and in the mail the second week of August.

Calopogon tuberosus (Grass Pink Orchid)
Looking very good at Plant Delights Nursery is our crop of the North American native orchid, Calopogon tuberosus. We have found these to grow wonderfully in straight peat moss, if it’s kept moist. We are very excited to be able to offer our own nursery propagated stock!

Agave albopilosa
I took this photo of our oldest plant of Agave albopilosa yesterday. We sold out of our first crop quickly this spring, but our next batch is almost ready. It’s one of the coolest century plants we grow…very slow growing, and on the small side even when mature, but what a conversation piece!
Happy Fourth of July
Happy Fourth of July! Jasper and I are having a blast in the garden today and we hope you are as well. The ground is plenty moist here at Juniper Level after nearly an inch of rain from Hurricane Andrew…minus the wind that stayed closer to the coast.

Caryopteris ‘White Surprise’
I pass our clump of Caryopteris x clandonensis ‘White Surprise’ several times each day and am always impressed with what a great grower it is…and this is before the blue flowers even begin. Here it is in the garden today….I hope you agree!

Lysimachia clethroides ‘Heronswood Gold’
Lysimachia clethroides ‘Heronswood Gold’ is a virtual beacon in the garden now with its bright gold foliage and pure white flowers. Despite the gold foliage, the vigor is still pretty good, so don’t plant it near other garden wimps, or they’re liable to be overwhelmed.
