Sun, Part Shade     Zones 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 White flowers
Pyrenees to Ukraine. Galanthus nivalis has naturalized in our gardens and provides a much needed display when our late winter customers arrive. The down-facing, pendant white flowers consist of three inner and three outer tepals. A characteristic upside-down, green "V" is found on the inner tepals. If early visitors were bold enough to crawl on their knees in the mud, they might catch the wiff of a light fragarance.  Late winter to mid-spring. bloom   4 in.

662-001D4     Gardenia 'Klehm's Hardy'       
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 7, 8, 9, 10 White flowers
This hardy selection has been tested to 0º F. The dark green somewhat glossy leaves of Gardenia 'Klehm's Hardy' (especially when they are young) remain evergreen, so it is very useful as a structural shrub for smaller gardens. The real delight, of course, comes from late spring throughout the summer when the white flowers perfume the air. The two-inch flowers with 5-to-6 petals nestle at the tip of the stems.  Late spring through summer. bloom   3-4 ft. x 3 ft.

171-024     Gentiana makinoi 'Royal Blue Strain'       
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 6, 7, 8 Rich Blue flowers
There is almost no color so treasured as blue in the late summer and early autumn garden. And so, here is a plant to treasure. These seedlings of the Gentiana makinoi `Royal Blue Strain' have vivid flowers up to 2 inches long which form at the terminal and upper leaf axils of the stems.

In our garden this forms a mat of small, glossy, lance-shaped leaves. Flowering stems have single terminal and axilary blooms. This has been an easy gentian for us to grow in a mixed border with a little late afternoon shade.  Summer to fall. bloom   6 in. x 18 in.

Sun, Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Magenta/Black flowers
Geranium 'Ann Folkard' (1973) is a mounding and trailing geranium that has large deeply divided golden to chartreuse foliage. The flower stems bear 1- to 1 1/2-inch flowers of dusty magenta with black centers. A word of caution about this lively beauty. We have had stems stretch out to six feet clambering up into a neighboring hydrangea. She does want to grow but is easily controlled with some judicious pruning, or let her go to mingle with her neighbors. This is a cross between G. procurrens and G. psilostemon found in the garden of Oliver Folkard in Lincolnshire, England. A Great Plant Picks selection.  Summer to fall. bloom   24 in. x 36 in.

At their bases rise nob-like panicles up to 3 feet tall encrusted with tiny greenish flowers that develop into ruddy fruits.  Summer. bloom   8 ft. x 10 ft.

177-001-1     Gunnera manicata       
Part Shade     Zones 8, 9, 10 Rust Red flowers
Gunnera manicata is the reason the Dinosaur Bed got its name. Children marveled at the huge, 5- to 6-foot wide leaves with rough upper surfaces and prickly reverses that rise on 5-foot or taller stems. We heard one of them say, "Cool, this is like "Jurassic Park"." Tall cylindrical panicles of tiny flowers rise at the base of the plant. We grow this in a modified bog with lots of organic matter and some drainage. In colder climates, cover with straw in winter.  Summer. bloom   5 ft. x 6 ft.
