Excitement is in the air here at the farm! Our first order of perennials arrives in just over a week. We are scrambling to get our greenhouses ready and our supplies lined up. We will have a few new plants, as always, to keep our regular gardeners enthused. Ornamental onions (Allium senescens 'Glaucum') and blackberry lilies (Belamcanda chinensis) will be joining our inventory. We will also be adding 'Oehme' sedge (Carex muskingumensis) and 'Raspberry Regal' coral bells (heuchera). Some of these are completely new to our farm and others are back by popular demand. Several new varieties of daylilies and hostas will also be available in limited quantities. As
far as shrubs are concerned, our most exciting new addition is 'Little
Devil' ninebark. This plant was developed by Minnesota breeder,
David Zlesak. A much smaller stature (than most ninebarks) and reliable,
burgundy foliage are its claims to fame. 'Garden
Glow' dogwood will also be available this year. This variety has
gold foliage and red stems. One of its best qualities is shade tolerance.
Use this dogwood to create a burst of sunshine in the shade. Honeyberries
will also be joining our farm family. They are easier to grow than blueberries
with a similar flavor. Rumor has it, they are great for wine & preserves
too! |
