| Eared Coreopsis |
Zones: 5, 6, 7, 8
|
|
|
|
|
Eared Coreopsis is an evergreen groundcover. Clumps are 6 to 9 inches tall while flowering stems may be up to 18 inches tall. This Coreopsis is perfect for naturalizing along woodland margins or in light shade. The plant forms colonies by means of underground stolons so give it room to spread. The primary virtue of Eared Coreopsis is the masses of bright yellow daisy-like flowers coming in April through June. Try growing some on the sunnier side under tall native azaleas and dogwoods.

| Prunus pumila var. depressa 'Catskill' |

|
| Eastern Sand Cherry, Beach Plum |
Zones: 4, 5, 6, 7
|
|
|
|
|
With a native range in NE North America and a few sites in Kentucky and Tennessee, Eastern Sand Cherry can be found on sandy, rocky soils, cliff faces, and other difficult exposed sites. It has deep roots, so once established, it is a keeper. This variety, Catskill, is a ground hugging, many branched shrub with 3 inch, pointed leaves that stand straight up in bunches along the dark, thick, creeping branches. It forms dense mats that are effective for erosion control or for stream bank restoration. Masses of showy, white, 5-petaled flowers like apple flowers appear in mid-to late-spring and are followed by blackish purple berries in late summer. Leaves fall off in the fall revealing the dense, thick, ground covering branches. This is a workhorse of a shrub for difficult places. Cat# 1532

| Viola pedata 'Eco Artist Palette' |

| Eco Artist Palette Birdsfoot Violet |
Zones: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

|
|
Once again, Don Jacobs of Eco Gardens in Georgia spotted a winner and what a cool little violet this one is! The 2 upper petals are deep violet blue; the lower three are white or the palest blue; and the eye is bright orange! A real knock-out. It wants full sun or light shade and excellent drainage, and a spot in front of the rock garden or between paving stones or in a tufa trough. Flowering occurs for us mostly in late spring but sporadically all summer and into fall. Cat# 1428

| Evergreen Solomon's Seal |
Zones: 6, 7, 8, 9
|
|
|
|
|
Disporopsis is a Chinese cousin to Solomon's Seal. It forms moderately spreading colonies of 15" arching stems with opposite pointed deep green leaves. Spring flowers are small nodding white bells. Evergreen Solomon's Seal thrives in shade and good soil but will tolerate dry shade once established. It can make a great evergreen ground cover with say, Hearts-a-Bustin or Spicebush behind it and maybe Trilliums, or Bleeding Hearts, or woodland Phlox in front. Cat# 1560
