This is the antique variety from England that so long ago inspired the "Primrose Fairie" by Cicely M. Barker. The dark red flowers have a beautiful golden, picotee (outside) edge to all the petals. Faeries are shy, but you know they'll appreciate it.

One look at this small sized privet and I imagine an English hedge outlining a slighty shaded faery garden. 3/8" golden-yellow leaves share space on this very branchy plant. Although it can grow to 3 feet, it does so slowly and is easily pruned. Use as a bonsai, shrub, small tree in railroad gardens or around a down-sized, backyard cloister garden.

Take note of this splashy miniature from North America's wild azaleas and mountain laurels. Each spring, mounds of tiny, oval green leaves share the ground with pale blue, 1/2" flowers with a yellow eye, proudly poised, 2 inches above the foliage. If you enjoy milder, Seattle-like summers, it will tolerate more sun.

Looks like a soft, fuzzy Hen & Chicks, until it flowers. Then you'll see the pee-wee, primrose looking blooms, to which it is related. Lavender-pink flowers, arriving early in the summer, have a miniscule, white eye in each center. This is one of these easiest to grow, eventually forming neat, small mats.

Jar Gem The soft light green rosettes with white flowers are tougher than they look. As we write this and the last snow just melted after -5 degrees, these are still looking great. They look more like a "Hen & Chick" then the Sedums to which they are related. Great for mini landscapes too.

Jar Gem Rosette of powder blue leaves that remind us of the "Moss Saxifrages," partner well with rosy-peach, summer flowers. Leaves are tightly packed on top of one another, forming bonsai- like pads. Sedums are the queen of all "Jar Gem" TM or rockeries. "Arrowhead Alpine" reports that this one is from Pakistan.

Jar Gem Sedum "Voodoo" and this rare cultivar inspired our "Jar Gem" series- plants perfectly suited to the cramped quarters and dry, severe conditions of strawberry jars. You can't find this brilliant, yellow, small foliage on this trailing creeper from Japan in many catalogs.

Claude Monet might have wept upon seeing its pastel presentation of white, lime, and dark green leaves. Almost as vigorous growth as "African Blue" with slighty milder flavor. Breathtaking in the herb garden. Don't assume, you'll feel the same way about it on your plate. We received this marvelous mutation from Scott Kresge (Emily Mae Garden Shop in Pen Argyl, PA). Thank you, Scott!

"That's not for sale." We must have told 1,000 customers when they asked about our 6 year old "Ernsts Baobab." Yes it bloomed all season with delicate white, snowflake flowers in 2" clusters on top of fleshy, scalloped shaped, minty leaves, but the real eye-catcher is the large swollen tree truck at its base. It really looks like one of those African "Baobab" trees that gets all the monkeys & warthogs drunk in the nature films.
