<i>Buxus sempervirens</i> ‘Graham Blandy’

Introduced in 1949 by the University of Virginia’s Blandy Experimental Farm, this aristocratic evergreen Boxwood struts a suave, strongly upright narrow stance. Dense erect branches are clothed from the ground up with small, polished oval leaves that emphasize new springtime, soft green growth and once mature, rich dark emerald tones. A topnotch choice for any garden, especially where space is limited, ‘Graham Blandy’s impeccable columnar habit can be employed as a specimen, or as a sentinel to denote a threshold, or it can be staged throughout a stylized meadow.

Size: 6' 0" – 9' 0" high x 18" – 2' 0" wide.

Hardy to zone 5.

Primulas offer elaborately-crafted colorful blooms in varied shapes,……

including draped bells, candelabras, drumsticks and pincushions. Many Primrose flowers waft a delectable scent. Second-to-none for the dappled recesses of your garden, these easily grown, cold-hardy Primulas crave well-drained, humus-rich niches with adequate moisture and good air circulation. They can grace containers or be planted in swaths along shady walkways or in woodland gardens. Be sure to peruse our online Primulas.

Prized Pulmonarias……

One of the earliest perennials to bloom, you can be picking their enchanting urn-shaped flowers in February while the rest of the garden still slumbers. Many cultivars showcase an array of mercury-hued dapples, speckles and spots, while others sport solid pewter sheens or striking silver streaks. Easy-to-grow Pulmonarias prefer the lacy light of a woodland setting plus cool moist soil. Our newsletter also includes a handful of other shade-loving perennials that promise alluring foliage. Many of these perennials can be partnered with Pulmonarias for intriguing foliar contrast. You may wish to check out our online Pulmonaria offerings.

All of us plant and paper wranglers wish you good health and happy digging!
