We love it since it blooms from Christmas through April, indoors. Flowers last for weeks, especially when held in a cool- cold window. Great plant for small containers on a hot sunny deck which should be brought indoors when your overcoat comes out in the fall. $12.00

This refreshing early summer blooming perennial has the classic rosette plant from which emerge majestic daisy-like flowers. Has many of the same medicinal components as E. angustifolia. $ 3.79
Echinacea, Pastel Pink Echinacea pallida Cold Tolerance: Zone 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b Light: Full Sun to Full Sun Height: 2-4 Feet Water: Normal Soil: Sandy-Loamy Flowers: Late Summer to Middle Summer Common Uses:Borders, Butterfly, Medicinal, Ornamental, Tea Considered by many, to be the most medicinally active species of all the ""Purple Coneflowers"" and suspected to be sold in Europe as E. angustifolia. Subtler beauty than E. purpurea, with pale, pink, droopy, more narrow flowers petals, and just as potent. $ 3.79	Echinacea, Purple Echinacea purpurea Cold Tolerance: Zone 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b Light: Full Sun to Full Sun Height: 2-3 Feet Water: Normal Soil: Sandy-Loamy Flowers: Late Summer to Middle Summer Common Uses:Butterfly, Cut Flower, Medicinal, Ornamental, Tea We chose this herb as part of our logo because of its beauty and multiple use: the quintessential herb. 4"" large, purple, daisy shaped blossoms are held upright on sturdy stems. ""Echinacea,"" is one of America's favorite medicinal herbs for the colds and flu. You can imagine my face when Mark pointed to the newly purchased Vodka saying "" It's for medicinal purposes,"" but he wasn't kidding. He made a tincture by stuffing a canning jar with coneflower leaves and filled it with 100 proof Vodka. We placed it in the closet and shook it daily for two weeks. Tasted awful, but seemed to work for us and we take it by the dropperful. We use it ONLY at the onset of symptoms, or when we're exposed to ""snotty"" folks, then we quit taking it, within 3 weeks. Pick leaves before it flowers and harvest flowers in their peak. Some folks believe the roots are the most therapeutic, but we've used all parts, in their prime. $ 3.79	Echinacea, Tennessee Echinacea tennesseensis Cold Tolerance: Zone 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b Light: Full Sun to Sun-P.Sun Height: 3-4 Feet Water: Normal Soil: Sandy-Loamy Common Uses:Butterfly, Cut Flower, Medicinal, Ornamental, Tea This Echinacea does not stop flowering. We predict that this species, which was almost dug to extinction, (and was placed on the National Endangered Species list) will become one of America's most popular flowering perennials. What a great medicinal herb too. It is similar to Echinacea angustifolia in its medicinal chemistry. Smaller flowers than other ""Purple Coneflowers"", but the petals on this variety turn upright and are darker purple rather than droopy and washed out. $ 3.79
Edelweiss Leontopodium alpinum Cold Tolerance: Zone 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b Light: Full Sun to Full Sun Height: 2in. x 3 Water: Dry-Normal Soil: Sandy Flowers: Early Spring to Middle Spring Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Borders, Butterfly, Miniature/Faery Garden Mark, having been born in Bavaria, Germany & now growing alpines, is obligated to grow this legendary ethereal, for which many a mountain climber died to bring these into cultivation. Too bad! These are rather short lived perennials, however, they usually self-sow the next generation before they perish. Great wooly white tufts. They appriciate well drained soil with plenty of air, naturally. $ 4.29	Eggplant, TURKISH ORANGE Light: Full Sun to Full Sun Water: Normal Soil: Organic-Loamy Common Uses:Culinary (88 days)- tennis ball sized, orange & green striped stuffer $ 2.49	Eggplant-Italian, BLACK BEAUTY Light: Full Sun to Full Sun Water: Normal Soil: Organic-Loamy Common Uses:Culinary (82 days)- plump 6" pear-shaped "eggplant parmesan" fruit $ 2.49

Shade Height: 10 Feet Water: Wet-Normal Soil: Organic-Loamy Flowers: Early Summer Common Uses:Bees, Borders, Culinary, Edible Flowers, Hedges/Shrubs, Medicinal, Ornamental, Tea This hardy small tree is loaded with 5"" white flower clusters in early summer which turn into small black tasty berries, rich in Vitamin C and used to make wine, jelly, and pies. Flowers can be used in a tea for colds, as a face wash, or battered and deep fried. Leaves can comfort minor bruises. Berries are best in pies (See our recipe) and immune building syrups, especially safe for children. The prime component of ""Sambucol"" (childrens' syrup) sold in health food stores. $ 5.29
Elderberry, Madonna Sambucus nigra 'Madonna' Cold Tolerance: Zone 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b Light: Sun-P.Sun to P. Shade Height: 10 feet Water: Wet-Normal Soil: Organic-Loamy Flowers: Early Summer Common Uses:Bees, Culinary, Edible Flowers, Hedges/Shrubs, Medicinal, Ornamental, Tea Oddly enough, 'Madonna' exhibits a golden variegation as opposed to the white color on Variegated Elderberry. Otherwise, it is the same. Because of its overall warm appearance, it is a welcome backdrop for wildflowers or English Cottage gardens. Native elderberries, run amuck, may have scared gardeners away from their beauty. You have nothing to fear with this magnificent shrub. $ 5.29	ELFIN HERB Cuphea hyssopifolia Cold Tolerance: Zone 9a 9b Flowers: Early Fall to Early Summer to Late Summer to Middle Summer Common Uses:Bonsai, Miniature/Faery Garden, Ornamental, Topiary Years ago Ben asked Mark, "What da name of dat pretty flower?" He told Ben who responded as any 3 year old would, "Why?" "Because," Mark said,"fairies like to use the flowers as pretty little hats and then elves, who like to play tricks, fly by and snatch the flowers right off the fairies' head and get them to chase the Elfin." These are very easy plants to grow, thriving in full shade to partial sun. As well suited to mixed containers as bedding plants. After one growing season, you can create an amazing bonsai tree by simply removing the lower leaves. Faerie nice!	Elfin Herb, 5 in. Assorted Cuphea hyssopifolia `Alba' Cold Tolerance: Zone 8a 9a 9b-11 Light: Sun-P.Shade to Shade or Full Sun Height: 12in. x 12 Water: Wet-Normal Soil: Organic-Loamy Flowers: Early Fall to Early Summer to Late Summer to Middle Summer Common Uses:Baskets, Bonsai, Garden Railroads, Hedges/Shrubs, Miniature/Faery Garden, Ornamental, Shade, Topiary A radiant white version of other Elfin Herbs; Leaves are slightly darker and more narrow, and the entire plant is more compact. Tolerates both sun and shade better than ôPurple.ö Try it in a magical moon garden. P.S. Surely a faerie folk lengend by now. $11.99

Like all of the ""Elfin Herbs"", it can grow as well in full shade or partial sun. However, flower color and quantity is better with at least some direct sun during the day. Great houseplant under some fluorescent lights for year round flowering! $ 4.29	Elm, Jacqueline Hillier Ulmus carpinifolius 'Jacqueline Hillier' Cold Tolerance: Zone 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 9a 9b-11 Light: Sun-P.Sun to Full Sun Height: 2' x 5' tall Water: Normal Soil: Sandy-Loamy Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Bonsai, Garden Railroads, Hedges/Shrubs, Miniature/Faery Garden, Topiary $11.99	Elm, Mini Frosty Ulmus parvifolia 'Frosty' Cold Tolerance: Zone 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 9a 9b-11 Light: Sun-P.Sun to Full Sun Height: 3' x 3' Water: Normal Soil: Sandy-Loamy Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Bonsai, Garden Railroads, Hedges/Shrubs, Miniature/Faery Garden, Topiary $11.99

In only a couple of years, it will already appear as a natural bonsai tree. As a houseplant or in warm climates, it is evergreen, or if grown cold, will be deciduous. Hardy down to 0 degrees F. $15.99	Epazote /Bean-o Herb Chenopodium ambrosioides Cold Tolerance: Zone 9a 9b-11 Light: Full Sun to Sun-P.Sun Height: 2-3 Feet Water: Normal Soil: Sandy-Loamy Common Uses:Culinary, Medicinal Insist on this Mexican herb with any bean dish to "for-go the fireworks." Use 1/4 cup chopped fresh leaves per kettle of stews, soups, & bean dishes during the last 10 to 15 minutes of cooking. Don't worry about the unusual odor. I believe it quickly dissipates and imparts little flavor, if any, although others say they even like the taste. Absolutely necessary for black bean soup or chili. $ 3.29	Ephedra, Joint Fir Ephedra refeliana Cold Tolerance: Zone 11 5a 3a 3b 4a 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 9a 9b-11 Light: Full Sun Only Height: 3in. x 6 Soil: Sandy Sandy-Loamy Flowers: Middle Spring Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Garden Railroads, Groundcover, Medicinal, Miniature/Faery Garden, Ornamental Sorry, but there is no buzz, or sinus relief from this dwarfed version. Instead you will enjoy its miniature ""Wild Horestail-like"" pipes, stacked on top of one another, with summertime red berries smothered in btween. Needs great drainage in winter. $ 4.79

That combination allows you to enjoy the white daisies nearly year round. $ 4.79	Erodium, Charm Erodium chamaedryoides 'Charm' Cold Tolerance: Zone b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b-11 Light: Sun-P.Sun to Full Sun Height: 5in. x 8in. Water: Normal Soil: Organic-Loamy Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Container, Miniature/Faery Garden, Ornamental, Walk About As this is the largest of our Erodiums and most free blooming, it is easier to see the resemblance to perennial geraniums, its distant cousins. In this catalog where big isn't neccesarily better, there's still room for this in a railroad landscape, larger container or the edge of a perennial border. $ 4.79	Erodium, Double Rose Erodium chamaedryoides 'Dark Eyes' Cold Tolerance: Zone 6b 7a 7b 8a 9a 9b-11 Light: Sun-P.Sun to Sun-P.Shade Height: 2in. x 4 Water: Normal Soil: Sandy-Loamy Flowers: Early Fall to Early Spring to Early Summer to Early Winter Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Bonsai, Container, Garden Railroads, Houseplants, Miniature/Faery Garden, Ornamental I spied it in a winter window-sill container with a rosemary tree and asked, ""Is that a true dwarf true geranium?"" ""Nope,"" Mark replied, ""but it is related"". Loves the same cultural conditions as rosemary (with a different texture), and rarely stops showing off its adorable bright pink, red streaked, fully double flowers. Hardy to only Zone 6 (with snow protection), it is ideal for indoor containers, flowering all winter. $ 4.79
Euonymus, Japanese Variegated Euonymus japonicus 'Microphyllus Variegatus' Cold Tolerance: Zone 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b-11 Light: Sun-P.Sun to Full Sun Height: 3 ft. x 14in. wide Water: Normal Soil: Organic-Loamy Flowers: Late Summer Common Uses:Bonsai, Borders, Container, Hedges/Shrubs, Houseplants, Miniature/Faery Garden, Ornamental, Topiary Eventually, this will outgrow a containerized landscape (figure about 1 foot each decade), but until it does, it fills the role as an upright, dwarf tree with roughly 1/2"" variegated leaves. As it matures, put it out in a railroad or other pocket in the garden reserved for specimens you enjoy close by. Even beginners can prune and shape it, so it's a great starter bonsai. $ 4.79	Euonymus, Mini Creeper Euonymus fortunei 'Kewensis' Cold Tolerance: Zone 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 9a 9b-11 Light: Sun-P.Sun to Sun-P.Shade Height: 2in. groundcover Water: Normal Soil: Sandy-Loamy Flowers: Late Summer Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Bonsai, Garden Railroads, Miniature/Faery Garden, Topiary, Walk About Not only is this superior as a ""Walk-About"" between stepping stones, but it remains strong, often not going dormant, as a miniature ""wintercreeper"" outdoors in Ohio. Always welcome in indoor miniature gardens as well. Its tiny dark green leaves will add shades of scarlet in the fall. $ 4.29	Euphorbia, Pencil Fire Sticks Euphorbia tirucalli var. rosea Cold Tolerance: Zone 9a 9b-11 Light: Full Sun Only Height: 2 ft x 2ft. wide Water: Dry-Normal Soil: Sandy-Loamy Common Uses:Bonsai, Garden Railroads, Miniature/Faery Garden We started to grow this beautifully colored ""Pencil Cactus"" for our Tropical ""Jar Gem"" collection, but after seeing it used in a California railroad garden in ""GARDEN RAILROAD"" magazine, we doubled the number of plants this year. Yes, they are truly red, orange, and yellow with a touch of pink in the cooler months. VERY HOT!! Makes a great G-Scale tree for the south. $ 5.29
