Hosta - Paradigm
The Hosta Paradigm, 'Paradigm', is a hosta that has lots of appeal throughout the spring and summer. Young leaves have chartreuse centers with light green edges that seem to capture the morning sunlight in spring. Later in summer, the leaves mature to golden yellow centers with blue-green edges that simply glow in the late evening sun. Hostas need dappled shade and will burn in dry or sunny environments. They need plenty of nitrogen to form vigorous leafy growth, but will thrive in most soils, including clay, as long as the plants are well irrigated. This variety is good as a specimen or mixed in bold groups. It makes a good foundation planting for shady spots and works well in containers when young. It was awarded Hosta of the Year 2007. ... more
Geranium - Southcombe Double The Geranium Southcombe Double, 'Geranium oxonianum', displays fully double, pure pink blooms that sit atop bright green stems. There are only a few double-geraniums in cultivation and don't look like a Geranium at first glance. Southcombe Double blooms almost non-stop throughout the summer, into fall. They do best in sun, but will tolerate some degree of shade. This plant would look wonderful in a pot on a sun-drenched porch and is also deer resistant. |
