'Falling Star' pentas have just hit the greenhouse shelves! Pentas are one of our favorites for the summer garden, admired for their endurance of hot, humid weather, and profuse blooms that attract both butterflies and hummingbirds. Pentas thrive in part to full sun. The trailing habit of this new introduction makes them even more versatile- perfect for spilling out of containers and hanging baskets.

Panicle hydrangeas ( Hydrangea paniculata) are distinct from the well-known French ( H. macrophylla) and Oakleaf ( H. quercifolia) species. They thrive in direct sun (3 to 4 hours or more) and bloom later in the summer (July through September). The most popular varieties are ' Limelight' and ' Little Lime.' These are quickly becoming favorites for the summer garden and with good reason. Huge conical blooms start out chartreuse green, open to white and fade to shades of pink and red, and their color persists well into fall. The large clusters of flowers attract butterflies and are excellent, long-lasting cut flowers. 'Limelights' grow large (6 to 8 feet tall and wide at maturity) and are superb for shrub beds and borders. For smaller spaces, try the more compact-growing 'Little Lime' hydrangeas, which reach 3 to 5 feet tall and wide once mature. Both varieties are in stock now! 

Daylilies (Hemerocallis hybrids) have been adored by southern gardeners for generations. If you're new to perennial gardening, or just looking for low-maintenance options, then you simply must plant daylilies. Tough as nails once established, daylilies tolerate our cold winters as well as persisting through the hottest, driest and most humid summer days with little care on your part. They form large clumps over time that can be divided every few years (in late summer or early fall) to expand your own garden or share with friends. Blooms appear in summer, and since daylilies have been highly hybridized, there are many, many varieties and colors to choose from- perfect for the plant 'collectors' out there! We currently have 9 interesting varieties in stock (pictured here: 'Gentle Shepherd').
