Our Favorite Plants

Even though we are surrounded by beautiful plants all day, we can't help choosing favorites each season. Here's our current list. C'mon in and see them in person!
 

Veronica 'Georgia Blue'
Intensely brilliant blue flowers smother the low growing foliage of this creeping plant. The bright blue lights up the garden when little else is growing from March into April. It grows 3” tall and is deer resistant.   Perennial that loves sun or mostly sunny areas.

Baptisia
With spikes of pretty blooms from May into June, this native flowering perennial has everything going for it.  Very easy to grow and vigorous, it is deer resistant, long lived, and has a pretty  “bush” like shape when not in bloom. Blooms May into June.  We recommend any of the Baptisia for full sun or afternoon sun.

Carolina Moonlight
In our display gardens, this baptisia has received much praise. It grows into a mound 3 ft wide and 4 ft tall covered in butter yellow blooms for over a month. Height 3-4 ft tall. This vigorous grower has more stems and more flowers each year. Carolina Moonlight loves sun or afternoon sun.

Purple Smoke
Violet flowers with a purple eye adorn the flower spikes.  This Baptisia will add the purple touch to your garden.  Form is upright to 4 ft tall, a pleasing contrast to low mounds of perennials. Vigorous and purple; what more could you want?

Hosta
These hardworking perennials are the backbone of many beautiful gardens and container plantings.

Coconut Custard
What a cute little mini hosta!  It has yellow heart-shaped leaves, very symmetrical on a 6” tall mound.  Vigorous and sturdy, it will add a spot of color in every shady garden.  The blooms are held neatly above the leaves and the light purple color contrast nicely with the leaves.  Our hosta aficionados will appreciate the purple petioles and the heavy substance of the waxy leaves.  This is new this year and we love it already!
 

Cracker Crumbs
Bright chartreuse leaves with a shiny dark green margin on another cute mini hosta.  This one has a good growth rate filling in its little spot in the front of the garden. It will grow to 6” tall and has lavender flowers in July. You will love this cutie!
