Solidago

Golden Rod

<i>Solidago rugosa</i> ‘Fireworks’

This cultivar should be called “finale,” a more accurate description of the multitude of fluffy gol­den sprays on nearly horizontal flowering spikes that seem to burst from this lush green bushy perennial like sizzling skyrockets. Excellent interspersed with Asters, grasses and other meadow plants, this familiar eastern species is a real treat in gardens west of the Rockies as well

Blooms September–October

Size: 4' 0" high x 2' 0" wide.

Hardy to zone 4.

Solidago sphacelata ‘Golden Fleece’ (P-2059)

Each $10.75

PREORDER FOR APRIL 2024

Discovered as a chance seedling in Eden, NC by Dr. Richard Lighty, this award-winning Mt. Cuba introduction is quickly making its way into gardens throughout the U.S. and further abroad. Toothed, heart-style green leaves define a compact, semievergreen basal rosette beneath stiff, multibranching stems adorned with a profusion of densely covered golden-yellow spires. Counting garden designers, florists plus Hairstreaks, Sulphurs and Skippers among its many fans, ‘Golden Fleece’s superb, low-growing bushy ground cover delivers long-lasting, radiant late season blooms and thrives in sunny, somewhat fertile well-drained sites, yet tolerates varied conditions.

Blooms August–October

Size: 18" – 2' 0" high x 2' 0" wide.

Hardy to zone 4.

Solidago ‘Wichita Mountains’ (P-2006)

Each $10.75

PREORDER FOR SPRING 2024

Originally found in Oklahoma’s rugged Wichita Mountains by nurseryman Steve Bieberich, this late-blooming, pollinator attractant is a splendid shining star at the acclaimed Lurie Garden in Chicago. Witness the tall, upright golden yellow wands beaming with tiny, tight set daisy-like blooms from late summer ’til the first frost, and you’ll see why. Garbed in narrow medium green foliage, the attractive tough-as-nails habit withstands heat, drought, deer and clay soil, but demands adequate air circulation and sharply drained soil.

Blooms August–October

Size: 2' 0" – 3' 0" high x 2' 0" – 2-1/2' wide.

Hardy to zone 4.

Our feature plant: Primula vulgaris ssp. sibthorpii

Precious Primulas, Prized Pulmonarias and Fabulous Foliage!

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!
