birdfeedingMy Breck's order has been placed for the spring preview sale.
These are for the telephone pole garden. Sometimes hummingbirds visit them.
The Black Hollyhock
3 Roots for$37.99 Save 63% $13.99
Ships in Spring
Heirloom variety has old-world charm.
Gorgeous, deep maroon blooms that look almost black grow singly--and quickly--on tall, stiff spikes. White eyes peer out from the centre of the bell-shaped flowers. Large, rough, heart-shaped lower leaves become progressively smaller toward the top of the spire. Great against a fence or a wall, and for hiding unsightly views.

Deluxe Dutch Gladiolus Mixture
25 Corms$44.99 Save 48% $22.99
Ships in Spring
A bouquet on each stem!
Dutch glads are among the most popular summer flowers throughout Europe and America. Our superior-quality bulbs from Holland's leading growers produce stunning, satiny blooms in vibrant colours. Magnificent for cut-flower bouquets and easy to grow, this professionally selected mixture is fully guaranteed. Plant bulbs 4-6" apart in a sunny location. Varieties are not individually labeled.
These are for the forest garden outside the kitchen window, along the east edge facing the lawn. I'm gradually filling in a bulwark of hostas there. The sheltered interior holds the wildflowers.
Hosta Mixture Super Sak

Ships in Spring
Luxurious beauty for shade.
Envision this mix's diverse array of colours, shapes and sizes flourishing beneath mature trees and in other shady spots of your landscape! Grow these hostas and experience green, blue and variegated foliage, along with fragrant purple and white blooms. Varieties are not individually labeled.
This is for the prairie garden, probably near the west end so if it seeds they should fall farther into the garden.
Queen of the Prairie

Ships in Spring
Fantastic perennial for large borders!
Grows up to 5' tall with beautiful, airy sprays of misty, deep pink flowers that bear a resemblance to astilbes. This colourful and impressive plant will thrive in moist areas and is perfect for watersides, although it also will do well in normal soils. Forms an upright habit. Foliage consists of dark green, 4-6" leaves that are lobed and incised. Deer resistant, very hardy and easy to grow. Spreads 36-48". Brings in the butterflies! Filipendula rubra 'Venusta Magnifica'

Date: 2024-12-27 07:55 pm (UTC)1) A ring of Asiatic lilies around the large wooden pole.
2) A rectangle that holds sunny flowers and a few herbs such as gladioli, zinnias, bergamot, and dill.
Between those two I've been trying to grow hollyhocks but only got the black ones to bloom.
3) Around the support wire is cypress vine which is a climber.
