SYRINGA (LILAC) Fragrant flowers, Attract hummingbirds & 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 shrub’s 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 wimpy 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 one year and very few the next. Spring blooms are influenced by the previous season’s weather. Other conditions that effects blooming are, soil, watering, fertilization, planting techniques, and plant care. The best blooms tend to follow cool, sunny summers mixed with a little old fashion T.L.C. Lilacs like alkaline (Utah) soil. All lilacs are fragrant. All are good cut flowers. All do well in full sun/part shade.

Japanese & 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 sun light to have bronze or red colored leaves. Cut leaf types need to be protected from HOT summer winds, and would like a little afternoon shade, say from 3pm 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 late fall and winter water them also. One of the best ways to kill a plant is let it get dry during the late fall or early winter when there is a lack of moisture. 82

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.

RHODODENDRON Rhodies in clay or alkaline soil? They don't like ether. 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, fill bed above 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. 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 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 plant base helps 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 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 early 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 Mothers 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 of the old Favorites. Colors range from single pale blue to bicolor of mauve and light pink, and every color under the rainbow. NCS 1 - $17.98

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 level of the ice. If your pond is shallow, the roots must be lifted and stored for the 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.

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 perennials prices range from $3.98 to $39.00 and are based on container size and plant varieties. All prices are subject to change. The varieties listed in this catalog are representative of what we grow but the list is not comprehensive. Some varieties may not be available but we strive to have a wide selection of perennials on hand. If you are searching for a specific plant variety not listed in this catalog please ask us regarding its availability.

FERNS (HARDY) Zone 2-6 depending on variety. This ancient group of plants has no flowers or seeds instead reproducing from spores. Ferns are a graceful and unique addition to any shade garden. Habits range from tight strap like clusters of leaves to arching feathery fronds. Ferns provide contrast and texture as well as unique foliage color. Ferns range a great deal in size from about 12 inches up to 6 feet and can be solitary or colonial. Note* There are no truly red ferns in cultivation at this time. The reddest varieties are either red stemmed athyrium, purple-red painted ferns, or bronzy-orange autumn ferns. If you have further questions about this ask an employee.

Adiantum - Maidenhair ferns. These ferns have delicate leaves that resemble the leaves of a ginkgo tree and black or dark stems. Athyrium - Lady ferns. These are some of the most popular ferns and include the colorful Japanese painted ferns ( A. nipponicum ), Victorian lady fern ( A. felix-femina ) and many others. Noted for their delicate lacy leaves and unique colors. Cheilanthes – This is a unique class of ferns that is a Water Wise Plant . Often growing on cliff faces, or in gritty well drained soil, this family has developed hairs on their leaves to help reduce moisture loss and to protect the plant. Some varieties may appear to have a silver fuzzy coat, on one or both sides of the leaves. Do not overwater these ferns if you want them to thrive. Dryopteris - Wood ferns, male ferns, or buckler ferns. D. erythrosora or Autumn fern has an intense copper or golden color on the new foliage and is very striking. Other varieties have more typical green fronds with some varieties being somewhat drought tolerant once established. Matteuccia - Ostrich ferns. These are the largest ferns we carry and can reach up to 6 feet tall. Onoclea sensibilis - Sensitive fern. Sensitive ferns are colonial ferns thriving in wet areas and though sensitive to frost are quite winter hardy. Osmunda - Flowering fern, regal fern, cinnamon fern. The reproductive fronds of this fern are commonly thought to resemble flower stalks or cinnamon sticks and add a unique architectural feature to the shade garden. They are quite large in general and may form extensive colonies. Polystichum - Sword ferns. P. munitum or Western Sword Fern is the most popular and well suited to slightly drier climates. Shiny dark green leaves are typical.

Note* There are no truly red ferns in cultivation at this time. The reddest varieties are either red stemmed Athyrium, purple-red painted ferns (Athyrium), or bronzy-orange autumn ferns (dryopteris). If you have further questions about this ask an employee .

HIBISCUS (ROSE MALLOW) 164

Hardy Hibiscus are among the most spectacular of garden plants with enormous flowers reaching up to 12 inches in diameter. These Hibiscus generally grow from 3-5 feet tall and have large maple-like leaves that are either green or bronzy purple. The blooms can be white, red, pink, lavender or yellow and may be solid colors or have a darker eye. Hibiscus break dormancy VERY late and some impatient gardeners have mistakenly uprooted healthy plants thinking they were dead. It is common not to see them start to grow until mid May or even into June. Fortunately they grow very quickly and by late summer they will be full size and blooming profusely.

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. Grasses are usually identified by their flower or plume. 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 182

divided at these times. Warm season grasses do 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 perennial 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 in form and function including 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 FLAG, JAPANESE FLAG) Evergreen or semi evergreen clump forming grassy leaves. Most varieties have a glossy luster to the foliage. A. gramineus cultivars range from the tiny Minimus Aureus at 2-4” tall x 12” wide to about 12”x12” for ‘Variegatus’. A. calamus varieties tend to be much larger at about 2-3’ tall x 2’ wide.

Bamboo - The bamboo family are true grasses that are perennial, and often evergreen. Most varieties are not very hardy, but we do carry some varieties. They fall into two main categories, clumping bamboo or 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, and tends to spread out quickly. Fargesia – Clump forming bamboo. Fargesia tends to have a vase shape with the tops spilling over and are often thickly covered in leaves. Best used as specimen plants. 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’ – I have seen this variety growing on the bench in Ogden, up to 14 feet tall, although we have it at the nursery and in the neighborhood 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, better in Zone 6.

Carex – (SEDGE) Varieties for sun or shade including variegated, red, tan, and gold types. Most varieties have gently arching stems and a few very upright varieties. Ornamental sedges are typically 1-2’ tall and wide and thrive in the warmer months. Many diverse varieties available. C. buchananii’ Leather Leaf Sedge. This variety exhibits brown or red leaves that are evergreen. They may self seed a bit, but are not typically aggressive. The species may have a very vertical habit or more fountain-like habit of growth. Named varieties tend to be one or the other. Prefers full sun. C. morrowii ‘Variegata’ exhibits a green edged leaf with white central stripe and possibly other very narrow pinstripes on the variegation. Prefers shady areas. C. morrowii ‘Ice Dance’ a reverse variegation with the green central stripe and white edges. Very graceful and delicate looking, but actually a tough plant. Prefers shady areas.

Calamagrostis – (FEATHER REED GRASS) Sun lovers able to withstand dry conditions as well as part shade. Flowers resemble wheat colored feathers. Very upright. White and yellow variegated forms. Cool season.

Slightly less vigorous than ‘Overdam’ but looks paler, as the majority of the leaf blade is creamy white. C. ‘Eldorado’ least upright of common cultivars, this grass has more of a fountain shape than others which are starkly upright. Notable due to its gold on green variegation and shiny texture.

Cortaderia – (TRUE PAMPAS GRASS) Has the showiest flower plumes of any perennial grass. One hardy dwarf variety ‘Pumila’. Plumes showing only male parts tend to be the showiest, and ‘Pumila’ is a sterile male selection from division. (Zone 6) (4-5’x36”)

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)

Typha – (CAT-TAIL) Long very vertical leaves. Native variety can be invasive and is solid green with cigar or hotdog shaped seed heads. Best planted in very moist soil, but can spread via underground rhizomes and should be contained in any setting. (Zone 3)
