The 60’s were not only a period of political upheaval, they were also a period of explosive creativity. We dedicate this CATALOG CREDITS catalog to the creative souls in the world who bring us beauty Nomenclature - 2007 RHS Plant Finder Photography - Janet Egger, Dave Doolittle, Dan Heims and inspiration through horticulture. The plants we offer are the Catalog Design - Josh Blair wonderful creations of our own capable breeding team as well as those of you who have created or found a “far-out” sport in the greenhouse. It is amazing to watch our team at work! Sometimes it’s an excited person in the lab holding up a test tube of a plant that’s never been in tissue culture before, and many times it is the shock and awe of seeing a color of leaf or flower that has never existed before! In that vein, we are proud to offer some new and amazing plants: Echinaceas like ‘Mac and Cheese’ and ‘Tomato Soup’ are brilliant rich tones that don’t fade quickly. Echinacea ‘Pink Poodle’ carries huge, fluffy heads above strong stems. Three new Agastache bloom in dense spikes, with rich colors, and strong form. Grow our plants next to the competition and you’ll see what we mean. Campanula ‘Jelly Bells’ produces glossy, cobalt-blue bells that are good enough to eat and Heuchera ‘Plum Royale’ goes another step in the way of a year-round metallic purple stunner. We have a new, larger, stronger, variegated Tiarella called ‘Mystic Mist’ and another Heucherella, called ‘Tapestry’, with leaves a lush fabric of silver, green, and purple. As usual, I am flitting around the world looking for anything new and exciting as well as observing and ‘dreaming’ for our breeders (who seem to be in overdrive this year!) Ken and crew are off to far corners of the world, cementing our laboratory links. Did you know that we send our laboratory technicians to labs around the world to assure that our plants are grown and cultured correctly? We do, and that’s how we maintain quality and good flow of material. We’ve also heard great comments from our customers this year on the quality of our finished plants. This credit goes to our great shipping and production crew and managers. Go team! We test our plants in sun and shade. We place them with garden writers and a few select designers. You will also find our plants at a number of botanical gardens. Feedback from these sources helps us find hardiness and performance infor- mation. We also invite you to visit our garden if you are in the Northwest (home of Louie, Louie and grunge-rock). You will definitely get a feeling as to how large our mature plants get as well as seeing some groovy combinations. Peace, Love, Perennials! Top 5 Must Have NEW Varieties A B C D E A.

Thus, all are true to type. The Athyrium as a group are very heat and humidity tolerant, but young plants need to have their roots kept cool. Plants do not push new growth (roots or tops) during winter months and need a longer dormancy period than most ferns.
