Anemone canadensis
Canada Anemone Zones: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Canada Anemone ranges naturally from the central southeastern states west to Nebraska and northward into Canada where it prefers low open fertile woods and damp meadows. It has basal, bright green, deeply cut leaves which resemble those of hardy Geranium, and flowers on slender 1 to 2 foot tall stalks in early summer. The 1 inch, daisy-like flowers are held singly and delicately. This Anemone can grow rampantly in part shade in moist, good soil and could be used to cover large areas perhaps with Osmunda, Clethra, and Sweet or Swamp Azalea. Or try it in a drier site with partial shade where its growth will be slower. Cat# 1010 -more info- Anemone canadensis, Canada Anemone

Lobelia cardinalis
Cardinal Flower Zones: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Cardinal Flower is one of the most beautiful and popular wildflowers for a moist, sunny or partly shaded spot in the perennial border, meadow, or alongside a stream. Two- to four-foot tall stems are laden with brilliant crimson flowers from July through September. They are a favorite feeding ground for hummingbirds. Species to grow along with Cardinal Flower include Great Blue Lobelia, Pink Turtlehead, Obedient Plant, Wild Ageratum, Joe Pye Weed, and Bee Balm. Cardinal Flower tends to be short-lived, but also tends to self-sow prolifically, so expect to have babies. Plants form evergreen clumps. Cat# 1137 -more info- Lobelia cardinalis, Cardinal Flower

Heuchera villosa 'Carmel'
 New this Year!
Carmel Alumroot Zones: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Finally breeders are coming out with more great selections of our native Heuchera villosa which is so common on dry cliffs here in the southeast. Built to withstand southern heat and humidity, they are at home in shade and dryish, well-drained soils. This one, Carmel, developed by Thierry Delabroye in France, was actually discovered as a single yellow seedling from Heuchera villosa 'Autumn Bride'. Lucky for us, because it is a very attractive big robust grower that has fuzzy butterscotch leaves with purplish undersides and cream colored flowers in mid-summer. It would look great with Firepink and Eared Coreopsis. Cat# 1487 -more info- Heuchera villosa 'Carmel', Carmel Alumroot

Thermopsis villosa
Carolina Bushpea Zones: 5, 6, 7, 8
Here is an unusual perennial for the middle or rear of the flower bed. Plants attain 3 to 5 feet in height and a stiff upright aspect with elongate clover-like leaves. Dozens of bright yellow flowers resembling those of Lupine are arranged on the upper 1 or 2 feet of the flower spikes in May. These are followed by seed pods tightly pressed against the old flower stalks. Carolina Bushpea makes its natural home in forest clearings of the southern Appalachian Mountains, but when given rich soil, full sun, and moisture during dry spells in the summer, it is rewarding and easy to grow. It looks striking growing with Blue Star. It is always a focal point in the garden. Cat# 1212 -more info- Thermopsis villosa, Carolina Bushpea

Gelsemium sempervirens
Carolina Jessamine Zones: 6, 7, 8, 9
Carolina Jessamine is an evergreen vine found in open woods and thickets throughout the southeast. Flowers are rich yellow, 11/2 inch, open, bell-shaped and appear primarily in early through mid-spring and are very sweetly fragrant. In full sun and rich soil, the vine will flower abundantly and spread quickly, but it also grows in shade and poorer soil. Carolina Jessamine can be used very effectively to twine around a mailbox, lamp post, downspout, or trellis. It can be used as a trailing ground cover as well. We let it ramble over fences at our farm. Cat# 1099 -more info- Gelsemium sempervirens, Carolina Jessamine

Chokeberry, a member of the Rose family, is a lovely and useful small tree or suckering shrub for wet or dry places in sun or light shade. In late spring, it has fragrant, 1/2 inch white flowers resembling wild roses. Summer foliage is a lustrous dark green and is followed by spectacular fall color ranging from fluorescent crimson to deep reddish purple. The colorful leaves hold on well into the winter. But Chokeberry is also endowed with bright red berries that may be so plentiful as to weight down the branches. These, too, are long-lasting and persist through the winter as they are apparently distasteful to birds. Chokeberry is a very easy to grow shrub/tree with 3-plus seasons of interest. It looks especially outstanding when massed. Cat# 1017 -more info-

Clethra acuminata
Cinnamon Clethra Zones: 5, 6, 7, 8
Cinnamon Clethra is a medium sized deciduous shrub or small tree. From spreading underground stems, it may form colonies up to 18 or 20 feet tall in the wild but in cultivation rarely exceeds 10 to 12 feet. It can be pruned to grow as a tree or left as a suckering shrub. The species grows wild in our southern mountains among boulders and along stream banks in open shade in rich, moist soil. It is called Cinnamon Clethra because mature plants may have incredibly beautiful cinnamon, hazel, and ochre-colored striped bark. The midsummer flowers are in drooping clusters of 1/4 inch white bells and are heavily scented . The leaves are a smooth green turning a good yellow in the fall. Cinnamon Clethra would be an excellent choice for sites in sun to shade with moist or average, organic soils. Use it where its midsummer fragrance and its winter bark detail can be appreciated.

Osmunda cinnamomea
Cinnamon Fern Zones: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Cinnamon Fern, like its cousins Royal Fern and Interrupted Fern, is a bold and majestic fern that grows in damp acidic places throughout eastern North America and even down to Mexico and the West Indies. Its bright green twice cut sterile fronds grow about 3 to 4 feet tall and 6 inches wide from thick, wiry rootstocks. But it gets its name, Cinnamon Fern, from the very different fertile fronds which contain the spores or reproductive parts. The fertile fronds may grow a foot or so taller but are very narrow and sparse looking like a thin frond that has been rolled in cinnamon. Grow this handsome fern in moist to wet acidic soil in partial sun to shade where its beautiful vase shape can reach its potential. Cat# 1153 -more info-

Hydrangea anomala petiolaris
Climbing Hydrangea Zones: 4, 5, 6, 7
Climbing Hydrangea is an aristocrat among vines. It is a medium to coarse textured vine that climbs by means of holdfasts enabling it to stick to almost any surface that is not smooth. Although the main stem clings, its branches extend 1 to 2 feet out giving the vine a two dimensional aspect. The glossy, dark green, oval leaves are 2 to 4 inches long and hold on late into the fall with no additional color before falling off. But the exposed winter bark on a mature vine is very handsome and shaggy. White, pie plate-shaped flower heads 10 inches wide or more occur in mid summer and are very showy and fragrant. Climbing Hydrangea is handsome in every season and given a good strong support and rich, moist soil, it will just get better and better over time. Use it in sun or shade to climb a wall or tree, or let it climb over rock walls. Vigorous once established, it will become as important as the structure on which it is growing and maybe even more attractive. Cat# 1303 -more info-

Coast Azalea is a 41/2 foot tall, erect, suckering shrub with bluish-green foliage and fragrant, pinkish-white, long-stamened, mid-spring flowers that usually open before plants leaf out. This species occurs naturally in the coastal plain from Delaware to South Carolina in flat pine woods and savannahs, usually where it is moist but also in xeric sand hills. This suggests its use in high open shade in moist to dry areas with good drainage. Cat# 1182 -more info-

 New this Year!
Cobra Lily Zones: 5, 6, 7, 8
Cobra Lily is a very cool, exotic looking cousin of our Jack in the Pulpit. From a large horseshoe shaped leaf with 11 to 17 leaflets, a single flower (Jack) emerges on a glaucous, dusty, blue/purple stem. The outside of the Jack is light beige with purple and brown spots while the inside is dark purple/brown. Jack himself, the spadix, is dark purple and ends up with a long snaky, whip-llike tail sometimes reaching 18" in length. Very exotic looking! The hood or spathe is also dark purple/brown. Successful pollination (requires at least 2 plants) may result in bright red fruits in late summer. Otherwise, Cobra Lily will go completely dormant by mid-summer. ;;Give this one shade and average to good soil but NO excessive winter moisture which will cause it to rot away in a second. It is very common in the trade in Japan because it is easy to grow and because of its very attractive leaves.;;These plants may come potted or bare root depending on their stage of growth but they are of blooming age. They are shipped only when NOT actively growing. Generally this means no shipping between April first and August. Cat# 1497 -more info-

Plants grow 1 to 4 feet tall with delicate orange-red flowers with long spurs. They flower in spring to early summer and except when really cold, keep a small rosette of evergreen foliage. Columbine tends to self-sow prolifically so it would be great for naturalizing in a woodland garden, or if you are lucky enough to have some rock cliffs, ledges, or walls, let it go wild there.

Big red berries persist in fall and early winter. Coral Honeysuckle is best in full sun and average soil, but would also do well in light shade. This vine is sure to attract hummingbirds and your neighbor's attention. In flower, it is extremely showy. Don't confuse this with the aggressive and obnoxious Japanese Honeysuckle vine. Coral Honeysuckle is very choice, and is not overly aggressive. Cat# 1140 -more info- Lonicera sempervirens, Coral Honeysuckle

It makes clumps of 1 1/2 inch evergreen leaves adjoined by spreading runners, which eventually form carpets over good, shaded, woodland soil. But in late spring, plants are lavishly adorned with huge (to a little plant) 1 inch, violet with white, snapdragon-like flowers, which are quite showy.

Cross Vine is a woody vine growing to 50 feet or so with compound, semi-evergreen leaves and very showy summer flowers. It is common throughout the east. It winds its way up trees and telephone poles, and over rocks, and holds on by twining and by tendrils that can dig into tree bark. The wild type has red and yellow flowers, but 'Tangerine Beauty' has clusters of 2 inch, tubular, flaring, bright orange ones. Flowering occurs along the stems on older growth so any pruning should be done right after flowering. Grow Cross Vine in sun or part shade and average soil and give it a reasonably strong support.

The plant looks like a semi-prostrate juniper growing about 12 inches tall and spreading several feet. Its leaves are semi-evergreen and look like those of Rosemary. They are wonderfully and strongly scented as you would imagine a wild Rosemary and can apparently be used like Rosemary in cooking. Lavender-blue flowers appear in midsummer. Grow Cumberland Rosemary in well-drained soil or pure sand in full sun. Use it for its fine bristly texture where a low plant is needed. It would be very effective at the edge of a retaining wall where passersby might brush against the foliage, releasing its pleasant scent. It is federally Threatened. USFWS PRT# - TEO68568-0.
