New Plants for 2019

This portion of the site provides a summary and description of plants introduced for the first time to the Bohn's Farm lineup for the current year. 

Introduction of new plants to our already extensive lineup is the result of:

• customer suggestions
• recommendations from our diverse team of young plant producers
• pant awareness resulting from custom production for our landscape professional customer
• observations noted during our travels to professional conferences, botanical and educational institutions.

Baptisia 'Dark Chocolate' Indigo, False Dark, almost black flowers on 27" spikes atop a compact, shrubby Baptisia. DECADENCE series features interesting flower colors on compact habit. Baptisias have a taproot, so mature plants are extremely drought tolerant but don't like to be moved. Attractive seedheads. [ More Info ]

Brunnera macrophylla 'Sterling Silver' Bugloss, Siberian Sterling Silver Brunnera emerges in spring with large heart-shaped, variegated leaves that provide much-desired brightness in the shade garden. Sprays of tiny baby blue, forget-me-not type flowers float above the sturdy, heat-tolerant foliage. Brunneras are classic perennials that are treasured for their shade tolerance and lovely blooms. They make a fantastic groundcover, though the variegated forms may be slower to spread than the species. Try growing them in containers too so they will be close at hand when you want to snip a few blooms for a spring bouquet. [ More Info ]
