HYDRANGEA (HYDRANGEA) NOTICE: All newly planted plants, especially HYDRANGEA’S, require hand watering at a very slow rate on top of the root ball (that’s the roots inside of the container) until plant is established in your soil. Your sprinkler/drip system may not be enough water at first. Hydrangeas do best and flower true to species color in acidic, well-drained soil that’s rich with organic material. Use aluminum sulphate, soil sulfur, or acid based fertilizer to make soil acidic. Prefers full to part shade; afternoon shade is highly recommended. Planting in raised beds is the simplest way to give these plants the conditions they require. The finished bed should be 1-2 feet about the original level. Liberally mix organic material into the top foot of native soil, then fill bed above it with a mixture that’s 50% organic material, 30% soil and 20% sand. This mixture will hold air and moisture while allowing alkaline salts to leach out. All Hydrangeas require afternoon shade!!

SYRINGA (LILAC) Fragrant Flowers *Attracts Hummingbirds and Butterflies. Deer Resistant Lilacs: when and how to prune Prune lilacs immediately after flowering, to remove spent blooms. Next spring’s flowering buds are produced in July and August. So avoid removing them with late pruning. Cutting off spent flowers right after blooming, this ensures that the shrubs energy goes into producing flower buds for next year, not seeds this year. Each year when plants are dormant remove about a quarter of the oldest branches and crossovers, starting low and working up. If you wish to rejuvenate an old plant, cut one-third of the oldest, thickest stems you can find. Start at ground level and remove any thin wispy suckers you see. Over a few years, this old non-flower wood will be replaced with young, more vigorous wood. You won’t lose very many blooms because old overgrown plants do not bloom very well. Young lilacs should start flowering in the 2 nd or 3 rd year after planting. But it can take five or six years for them to bloom. Lilacs can produce heavy blooms on year, and very few the next. Spring blooms are influenced by the previous season’s weather. Other conditions that affects blooming are soil, watering, fertilization, planting techniques and plant care.

Japanese and Korean Maples Great Bonsai or container plants require winter protection when potted, and will remain smaller. NOTICE: Don’t prune out large (palmate type) leaves on new growth wood on variegated or laceleaf maples. The following year, the variegated or lacy (dissectum) leaves usually emerge.

Easily grown in moist, organically rich, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Prefers lightly sun dappled part shade; avoid hot and dry sites. Leaves may scorch in full sun in hot southern summers. Plant in a location protected from strong winds. Prune out non-variegated foliage. Japanese Maples need direct sunlight to have bronze or red colored leaves. Cut leaf types, need to be protected for HOT summer winds and would like a little afternoon shade; from 3 p.m. on. Also, if we are having HOT summer winds, water your Japanese Maples from the ground. NEVER water the foliage, as this can cause burn spots on the leaves. Remember to water in late fall and during the winter as well. One of the best ways to kill a plant is to let it get dry during the late fall and early winter when there is lack of moisture.

AZALEA (RHODODENDRON FAMILY) Azaleas in clay or alkaline soil: they don’t like either. Planting in raised beds is the simplest way to give these plants the conditions they require. The finished bed should be 1-2 feet above the original soil level. Liberally mix organic material into top foot of native soil. Then fill bed above it with a mixture that’s 50% organic material, 30% soil and 20% sand. This mixture will hold air and moisture while allowing alkaline salts to leach through. Azaleas require acidic, well-drained soil to bloom true to species color and maintain good plant health. Use aluminum sulphate, soil sulfur or acid based mulch, cultivate carefully to avoid root damage.

RHODODENDRON Rhodies in clay or alkaline soil? They don’t like either! Planting in raised beds is the simplest way to give these plants the conditions they require. The finished bed should be 1-2 feet above the original soil level. Liberally mix organic material into the top foot of native soil. Fill bed above with a mixture that 50% organic material, 30% soil and 20% sand. This mixture will hold air and moisture while allowing alkaline salts to leach through. Rhodies require acidic, well-drained soil to bloom true to species color and maintain good plant health. Use aluminum sulphate, soil sulfur or acid based fertilizer to change alkaline soil to acid. Shallow surface roots benefits from mulch. Cultivate carefully to avoid root damage. Please protect them from the wind all year round.

CLEMATIS Full sun to part shade, needs cool roots; keep roots shaded and the vine in full to part sun. Generally red flowers tolerate sun; pale flowers like afternoon shade. Planting Clematis: Before removing plants from the container, submerge it in a bucket of water for ten minutes. Plant in well-drained soil enriched with composted manure or compost. Mix bone meal in the bottom of the hole to encourage deep root growth. Clematis need plentiful feeding and watering until established. Mulching around the plant base helps to shade the roots, conserves moisture and reduces weeds. Low-growing plants can also be used to shade the root area. Pruning Clematis: Clematis are divided into three basic types for pruning. First year: Prune stems of all types to 1’ from the ground in early spring. Type A – Second year; early spring cut all stems to 3’ tall. Third and subsequent years, cut out weak or dead stems after flowering Type B – Second year; early spring cut all stems to 3’ tall. Third and subsequent years, cut back all stems; back to a strong pair of buds in ea rly spring and tie stems to their support. Type C – Second and subsequent years, cut back all stems; back to just above the base of the previous season’s growth. We carry a wide range of colors in Clematis and the list will change from year to year. Please stop by around or after Mother’s Day and see what we have on hand. We strive to keep up on the new releases that will grow best in our area and all the old favorites. Colors range from single pale blue to bicolor of mauve and light pink; and every color under the rainbow. NCS 1 - $14.98

HARDY WATER LILIES Nymphaea app: We carry Yellow, Red, White, Salmon, Pink and changeable types. They can be left in your pond year-round if their roots remain below the ice level. If your pond is shallow, the roots must be lifted and stored for winter. Hardy Lilies are day bloomers; the flowers close at night. They do best in still water with ample space and a warm, sunny location. For better blooms, Lilies should be repotted in a 12 inch diameter pot the spring following the year of purchase. Remember, Lilies are heavy feeders during the growing season so fertilize monthly.

MARGINAL OR SHALLOW PLANTS These are the plants that will survive at the edges of a pond; either on a shallow shelf or planted in very moist soil. The supply may be limited by seasonal availability. If there is anything special you are looking for, please check with the Water Garden Department.

PERENNIALS

PERENNIALS are typically non-woody (herbaceous) or semi-woody plants that die back in autumn then grow back from the roots in the spring. There are some evergreen varieties and semi- evergreen varieties as well. BIENNIALS are plants that normally complete their life cycle in 2 years. Typically biennials grow from seed the first year, bloom and set seed the second year and then die. Many biennials are self- seeding which allows the plant to replenish itself for years. *Our perennial prices range from $3.98 to $39.00 and are based on container size and plant varieties.

GRASSES (ORNAMENTAL VARIETIES) Grasses and grassy perennials are a unique and indispensable part of the modern garden. They vary in height from a few inches to more than 10 feet and add a unique look to any situation whether wet or dry, sunny or shady. Grasses also decrease soil erosion. They are usually identified by their flower or plume size. Since grasses are wind pollinated, they usually don’t have brightly colored flowers but their plumes can be beautiful in spite of the lack of bright colors. Cool season grasses are grasses that prefer the cooler temperatures of spring and fall for growing vigorously and should be divided at these times. Warm season grasses so most of their growing in the heat of the summer and should be divided only in late spring when they have begun to break dormancy. Grasses are also not typically cut down in the fall with other perennials but allowed to remain through winter. True grasses are included in the botanical order Poacea, but there are many perennials that resemble grasses and can be used as a grass form such as sedges, rushes, day lilies, irises and others. Grasses are an ever increasing part of gardens today because they are so easy to grow and so uniquely beautiful.

ACORUS (VARIEGATED SWEET FLAF, JAPENESE FLAG) Evergreen or semi-evergreen clump forming grassy leaves. Most varieties have a glossy luster to the foliage. A. gramineus clutivars range from the tiny ‘Minimus Aureus’ at 2-4” tall and 12” wide to about 12” x 12” for ‘Variegatus’. A. calamus varieties tend to be much larger at about 2-3’ x 2’.

BAMBOO The bamboo family are true grasses that are perennial and often evergreen. Most varieties are not very hardy here, but we do carry some varieties. They fall into two main categories: clumping bamboo and running bamboo. Clumping forms are generally easy to contain and spread slowly from close to the base of the plant, while running bamboo sends out underground rhizomes which tend to spread out quickly. Fargesia - Clump forming; Fargesia tends to have a vase shape with the tops spilling over and are often thickly covered in leaves. Best used as specimen plant. Phyllostachys - Running bamboo; Phyllostachys is best used as a privacy screen or hedge and will require a physical barrier to keep it contained in one area. Root pruning can also be effective. Often, cultivars of this genus have multicolored or crooked stems providing additional interest. P. aureosulcata - This Bamboo variety has been seen growing on the bench in Ogden, up to 14 feet tall; we have it at the nursery and in the neighborhood growing at about 3-4 feet tall. Can be pruned to maintain a hedge but will run if not contained. Green culms with white nodes; edible. P. aureosulcata ‘Spectabilis’ - Yellow with green stripes on the ‘groove’ or sulcus, as well as possibly extra green stripes. Quite pretty against the yellow canes. Hardy to zone 5 but better in zone 6.

Extremely popular. ‘Overdam’ zone 4; variegated white and green form. Grows 3-4’ tall and 2’ wide. Leaves are white with a green center stripe. ‘Avalanche’ zone 4; reverse variegation of ‘Overdam’ with white central stripe on the leaves. Slightly less vigorous than ‘Overdam’ but looks paler, as the majority of the leaf blade is creamy white. ‘Eldorado’ zone 4; least upright of common cultivars. This grass has more of a fountain shape rather than a stark upright form like the others. Notable due to its gold on green variegation and shiny texture. C. brachytricha (Korean Feather Reed Grass) - zone 4; plant in part sun. 3-4’ tall and 2’ wide. Bright green leaves with narrow feathery plumes that start out silvery-pink and fade to creamy-white.

Excellent in containers as an annual or in a dry bed. Plants will die from winter wet, so plant in a very well-drained area. Also, be cautious with S. tenuissima as it can self-seed prolifically. It is very easy to identify as a seedling, from its very fine, hair-like leaves, so to the vigilant gardener it will not become a problem. Treat as a self-seeding annual in colder zones. (Zone 6)

NATIVE GRASSES Other varieties of native grasses are available seasonally or upon request. Feel free to inquire with a member of the Perennial Department. Note*** There are no hardy Purple Fountain Grasses at this timed. The reddest summer color varieties are Panicum ‘Blood Brother’ or ‘Shenandoah’. Purple Millet may behave as a perennial here and often, seeds will grow true to the parent variety. The fall colors of several types of grass also exhibit the popular red or purple-red colors. If you have further questions, please ask an employee.
