Helenium 'Ruby Tuesday'Sneezeweed
Helenium is one of the best native perennials for late season color. It is very easy to grow and provides a long season of fabulous color from midsummer into early fall.
‘Ruby Tuesday’ is a slightly shorter selection that produces masses of brick red flowers about the size of a quarter. A bright golden yellow and mahogany center pairs perfectly with the red petals. The blossoms completely cover the top third of the plant, adding a brilliant splash of color in the garden or in long lasting cut flower bouquets.
This plant has very strong stems that hold up well to the rain and strong winds associated with summer thunderstorms; it typically does not require staking. Thee is also some resistance to powdery mildew, though proper placement in full sun with good air circulation and drainage is still essential to the health of the plant.

Helleborus 'Penny's Pink'Lenten Rose
The foliage emerges in spring bronzy green with electric pink veining, like a pair of pink fishnet stockings has been wrapped around each leaf! Each unique leaf is held on purple petioles and as the season progresses the pink veining color drains back down into the petioles leaving beautiful emerald green veining in its place.
However, while the foliage still has its pink coloring early in the season, complementary purple buds form and open to bright mauve pink flowers with contrasting chartreuse nectarines in the center. They turn deeper pink and take on green tones as they mature.
These flowers are said to be sterile so they appear for several months from about late winter into mid-spring. A minimum of 85% of these plants will bloom the first year.

The result is a much longer season of bloom and flowers that cover all sides of the plant rather than just the top.

Hibiscus 'Heartthrob'Hibiscus, Hardy
From the Walters Gardens, Inc. hybridizing program comes the darkest red flowered selection to date.
Near-black, glossy, pointy buds open to lustrous, dramatic deep red blossoms with a blackish red center and veining. Bright yellow pollen on the red anthers in the center of each blossom pops with contrast. The 8-10” wide blossoms have rounded, overlapping petals with a hint of ruffling on the edges.
‘Heartthrob’ forms a compact, well-branched, rounded clump of mid-green, hydrangea-like leaves. At just 4’ tall, it fits nicely into the back of the border and offers outstanding late summer interest.

Hibiscus 'Midnight Marvel'Hibiscus, Hardy
From ‘Summer Storm’ PP20443 it inherits very deep wine purple, dissected maple-like foliage that is thick and leathery. From a distance, it appears a bit darker purple than ‘Summer Storm’. Like many perennials with purple foliage, this one needs to be exposed directly to UV light (grown in full sun) to achieve the darkest foliage color.
From ‘Cranberry Crush’ PP21984, it inherits very similar glossy, black-red buds which open to 8-9”, deep scarlet red flowers. The habit is relatively compact, measuring in at 4’ tall x 4 ½’ wide which is intermediate in size between its parents.
Since this variety is an indeterminate bloomer (has buds at several nodes up the stem), it blooms for an extended period from midsummer into early fall. We have been incredibly impressed by the growth and performance of ‘Midnight Marvel’ and think you will be equally delighted!

Hibiscus 'Summer Storm SUMMERIFIC'Hibiscus, Hardy
An improvement over 'Kopper King', this hybrid has the darkest wine purple, maple-like foliage we've ever seen on a hardy Hibiscus. As the foliage matures, the number of lobes on each leaf increases. The foliage alone makes this plant a fantastic specimen even before it comes into bloom! (Please note: Like many other purple foliage plants, this one requires direct exposure to UV light to develop the deep purple coloring. Plants coming from a greenhouse may be green until they are brought outside into the sun.) This plant produces large 8-10 inch, pink flowers with rose veining and a deep magenta eye that radiates out onto the petals. Free-flowering from mid-July to October. This is partially due to the fact that this Hibiscus has "indeterminate" buds v. "determinate" buds. Flower buds are produced at the nodes along much of the stem as well as at the tips. That means more flowers for a longer time period.

Ligularia 'Bottle Rocket'Ligularia
Unlike older Ligularias, this one is a perfectly proportioned plant with its mustard yellow flowers held on chocolate stems just at the top of the dense clump of foliage so no naked stems are showing. The flowers are held like a bouquet in the center of the clump, and there are more flowering stems per plant than its parent. Comparing mature specimens, ‘Bottle Rocket’ is about 6” shorter than its parent in full bloom.
‘Bottle Rocket’ is also a more robust plant with thicker, very large, serrated leaves and a denser habit. In trials, when ‘Little Rocket’ tended to open up and wilt in the heat, ‘Bottle Rocket’ remained perfectly upright. Overall a notable improvement over its parent!

Monarda x didyma 'Pardon My Pink'Bee Balm
No room for the tall, bushy, traditional Bee Balm in your garden? Now there’s a petite selection that’s easy to tuck into the front of your sunny border and combination containers. Reaching just a foot tall at maturity, this compact selection forms a bushy, well-branched clump of deep green, glossy foliage.
From mid through late summer, cheerful true medium pink flowers sit just at the top of the foliage. Though the plant may be dwarf, the flowers are the same size as taller selections, measuring a full 2 ½ - 3 inches across. They add a bright splash of color to the border in high summer.
This new selection also offers good resistance to powdery mildew, a problem with many older Bee Balms. Just provide good air circulation, sunshine, and plenty of water and these plants will thrive!
Though this plant is listed as hardy in zones 4-9, it may prove to be a bit more cold tolerant than that. If you are in a borderline 3/4 hardiness zone, you may want to give this plant a try!
Monarda is native to eastern North America, so it is easy to grow and it multiplies quickly. The flowers' sweet nectar attracts scores of hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees to the garden. The aromatic foliage smells like mint when crushed and is often used to flavor teas.

Phlox paniculata 'Shockwave'Phlox, Garden
Thanks to our good friends at ItSaul Plants who introduced P. ‘David’s Lavender’, we now have a fabulous stable variegated sport to offer.
The shocking variegated foliage of this new selection has incredible impulse appeal. It could certainly be grown for its foliage alone; the large clusters of lavender pink flowers with a white starburst center are a great bonus.
From spring into early summer, the leaves are deep green with prominent, sunny yellow margins. As the season progresses, the margins lighten to creamy yellow.
Use this plant to brighten up combination containers or mix with purple foliage plants like Sedum ‘Xenox’ for especially explosive contrast!

Sedum 'Dazzleberry'Stonecrop
This breakthrough new groundcover type Sedum forms a low growing, compact clump of smoky blue-grey foliage topped with giant 6-8”, vibrant raspberry colored flowers.
The flower clusters are comparatively much larger than those of ‘Rosy Glow’ and ‘Sunset Cloud’. They completely cover the foliage from early August through September here in Michigan, making it one of the earliest of all fall blooming Sedum cultivars.
This Sedum has fabulous color impact even from quite a distance and it provides color in the landscape for over 7 weeks.
Low, spreading Sedums form a solid mat of foliage which is excellent for covering slopes or can be planted as a groundcover in sunny, dry areas. They are extremely drought tolerant and many are evergreen. These are terrific low-maintenance plants that always look their best.
Sedum SUNSPARKLER® Series--
This colorful new series of Sedum comes from the breeding work of Chris Hansen. After several years of hybridizing and evaluating in his West Michigan field trials, Chris has selected only the best, most unique cultivars for introduction in his new SUNSPARKLER® series.
His first three introductions are colorful groundcover types that were selected from over 4,000 seedlings. They all retain their attractive coloration from spring through fall and are free of the leaf scorch that can often plague Sedums. Their compact habit and unique foliage/flower combinations greatly broaden the range of groundcover type Sedums that are currently on the market. They can also be used in combination containers and green roof systems.
Like all Sedums, they thrive on neglect and show their best colors when grown dry and in full sun.

Sedum 'Pure Joy'Stonecrop
In the spring, very small, sharply serrated leaves emerge a cool shade of blue green, a color reminiscent of the lovely Sedum sieboldii. They formed a perfectly rounded, low mound that was perfect for edging the front of the border.
As the plant aged through the season, the leaves expanded and turned lighter green, forming a short, semi-upright clump.
When late summer and early fall arrived, we understood exactly why the breeder had selected this plant for its flowers. A massive dome of bubblegum pink, star-shaped flowers completely covered the foliage followed by deeper pink seed heads later in fall.
This plant pairs perfectly with other fall bloomers like hardy garden mums, asters, and Black-Eyed Susans. Try a few in containers and at the front of the border.

Golden Alexander is a Missouri native perennial which occurs most often in small colonies in moist woods and meadows, thickets, glades and prairies. Features flat-topped clusters (compound umbels) of tiny yellow flowers in late spring atop stems growing to 3' tall. Distinguished from other carrot family members by the absence of a flower stalk on the central flower of each umbel. Both basal and stem leaves are compound biternate with toothed leaflets. The similar Zizia aptera has simple, heart-shaped basal leaves. Golden Alexanders is a food plant for the larvae of the Missouri woodland swallowtail butterfly (Papilio joanae). Similar to Z. aptera which has a heart shaped basal leaf and reddish stem.
