A Wayside Exclusive! The darkest, richest shade of blue yet graces these abundant star-shaped blooms!

Heptacodium miconioides (Syn. H. jasminoides.) (Seven-Son Flower) An intriguing tree from China so rare it was recently thought to no longer exist in the wild. It bears clusters of many small, sweetly fragrant blooms that make large, cascading inflorescences of sparkling white in early fall. The rosy-purple bracts that follow are even more spectacular than the blossoms, and the prominently veined foliage assumes a splendid fall hue of muted purple, strongest when grown in a sunny location. This tree is so new (the Arnold Arboretum obtained seeds only in 1980) that no mature plants yet exist in North America, but we do know our 6-year specimen has grown vigorously to 15 feet, proving pest and disease resistant. Join us in this horticultural adventure by trying Heptacodium in your garden—it should grow into a specimen that fits beautifully into today’s smaller landscapes!

Hydrangea macrophylla 'Blushing Bride'

Hydrangea macrophylla ‘All Summer Beauty’

PP#17,169. 'Blushing Bride' is "my most significant introduction to date," declares Dr. Michael Dirr, and we heartily concur.

Bred from Endless Summer® x 'Veitchii,' this reblooming mophead is an improvement in every way over its famous parent. The florets are semi-double, adding depth to the 6-inch bloomheads; they emerge pure white and then acquire a faint patina of either pink or blue with maturity. Most importantly, they rebloom much more quickly than those of Endless Summer®, arising on stronger stems that hold well in garden or vase. The glossy foliage offers better resistance to mildew than its parent, turning brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and red in autumn. Highly recommended.

Compact enough for containers and breathtaking as a specimen or in the border, this Dirr introduction is a cross of 'Penny Mac' x 'Lady in Red'. Absolutely essential for the serious gardener.

Clematis Extravagant displays of huge flowers in nearly every color (often repeating for an extended season) as well as adaptability, hardiness, and versatility rank Clematis as our favorite climber for American gardens. They never overwhelm their support, and make excellent companions to climbing Roses. Culture: Clematis prefer a rich, loose, well-drained soil that will permit a free run of the roots; it does best where its tops are in full sun, yet its roots are shaded (such as with low plants or mulch). Our plants are pruned and ready to set out. The roots must become established before top growth occurs, so it may take two or three seasons for them to reach their full magnificence. Clematis is divided into 3 groups for pruning purposes; see page 42 for complete pruning instructions.

A cheerful addition to sunny borders, it blooms throughout summer and into fall in a range of colors from the familiar pinks and clear whites to new yellows, oranges, and even reds. Their thick stems make them long-lasting cut-flowers. Butterflies visit them in summer, and songbirds feast on their seed-packed cones in fall.

PP#12,175. Intensely colored 1-inch blooms of violet-blue with a large white eye begin appearing on this graceful plant in early summer, and unlike most Geraniums (which fizzle when the temperature climbs too high), keep coming until early fall. Fantastic for bedding, borders, patio, and containers in the South and Southwest, where many Geraniums have short and unsatisfactory bloom seasons. Then there's the habit. Open and airy as all Hardy Geraniums are, 'Rozanne' is more compact, managing to send up more flowering stems in less space than most others. As a result, you get a much bigger bloom show, and the plant looks lush rather than rangy. (How many other Hardy Geraniums would you care to show off, solo, in a hanging basket?)

Anemone sylvestris A fragrant groundcover Windflower for the shade! Snowdrop Anemone beautifully combines charm and resilience. Its glistening white, lightly fragrant blooms, measuring up to 2 inches across, appear singly on bare stems above divided foliage. And once the blossoms fade, they are replaced by wooly white seedheads. Eager to naturalize, it tolerates even dense shade, is unappetizing to deer, and makes a fine underplanting for perennials such as lilies.

Hardy Ferns Few plants impart such a light, airy, cooling effect, or provide such a range of textures for the garden as Ferns. They like a light, highly organic soil with ample moisture during their growing season, more so as the plants are becoming established. Our plants are of northern ancestry for extra hardiness, and perform better and better with age. Do not plant too deep; set the crowns at or just below soil level. A yearround mulch is recommended.

The petioles remain red all season, and are joined by slender red 24-inch flowerstems holding tiny purple blooms high above the foliage for several weeks. Highly recommended, this superb cultivar is the brightest member of the Hosta garden!

Hosta 'Empress Wu'

Hosta 'Touch of Class' This recent TETRAPLOID form of the popular Hosta June is a breakthrough in vigor and foliage substance!

Reaching 16 inches high and 22 inches wide, this plant is topped by 1-inch lavender blooms on 2-foot stems in midsummer.

Very vigorous, long-lived, and beautiful!

Shade Perennials | 101

Groundcovers Groundcovers beautify your property while reducing labor and maintenance. Once established, they are a carefree means of carpeting difficult areas, growing ideally in shaded or partially shaded areas where grass will not grow, or in hard to reach or sloping areas where mowing is difficult. Use mulch 1 to 2 inches deep the first two seasons for rapid rooting of runners.

Cotoneaster horizontalis Truly a four-season shrub, this semi-evergreen begins spring with starry pink flowers, followed by glossy, round berries of bright scarlet that persist throughout autumn and well into winter. Small, rounded leaves of deep green turn reddish orange to maroon in autumn. The growth pattern of this groundcover is dense and rather stiff, with bristly shoots jutting outward in a herringbone pattern. Useful for espaliering or scrambling over stones in a rock garden as well as covering ground. Slow-growing and unappetizing to deer, Rockspray Cotoneaster attracts bees, butterflies, and birds into the garden, and is quite drought-tolerant once established.

Ceratostigma plumbaginoides Quickly meandering over rocks and across troublesome bare spots, this quick-spreading groundcover begins blooming in late summer with peacock-blue flowers. As the weather cools, the foliage turns a rich mahogany. Plumbago is superb for ground cover, edging, or underplanting shrubs.
