This Hosta is grown locally at our Chalet Farm in Wisconsin. This moderately fast growing variety has beautiful heart shaped corrugated leaves with a bright yellow center and two-tone green margins; provides beautiful texture and contrast to other plants; near-white spikes of flowers in late spring or early summer.

Lucerne Blue-Eyed Grass has masses of beautiful plumes of lavender flowers with blue overtones, lemon yellow eyes and violet veins at the ends of the stems from late spring to early summer, which are most effective when planted in groupings. Its attractive glossy narrow leaves emerge silvery blue in spring, turning bluish-green in color throughout the season.

‘Glacier Blue’ features gray blue edges with a rose center. The ‘Giant’ Chick Charms were bred to be extra large, large enough to fill our a 1 gallon planter at maturity. Standing 3 inches tall and one rosette spreading up to 10 inches wide, Chick Charms^® Giants ‘Glacier Blue’ is a great addition for rock gardens, wall plantings, borders, ground covers as well as for patio planters.

Mahogany Monster Coral Bells features dainty spikes of white bell-shaped flowers rising above the foliage in mid summer, which emerge from distinctive pink flower buds. Its attractive crinkled lobed leaves emerge red in spring, turning burgundy in color with hints of coppery-bronze the rest of the year. The burgundy stems are very colorful and add to the overall interest of the plant.

An outstanding selection from a refined series, with sizable, blue flowers that bloom profusely over a long season, over compact, dark green foliage; hardy and prefers sheltered shaded areas but will tolerate dry soil for a while

Amethyst Astilbe has masses of beautiful plumes of lilac purple flowers at the ends of the stems from early to mid summer, which are most effective when planted in groupings. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its deeply cut ferny compound leaves remain dark green in color throughout the season.

Ben Vernooji Hosta features dainty spikes of lavender tubular flowers rising above the foliage in mid summer. Its attractive textured heart-shaped leaves remain powder blue in color with distinctive yellow edges and tinges of bluish-green throughout the season.

A sport of the old classic 'Patriot' green leaves trimmed by a wide white margin. Those white margins look like a wild roller coaster full of large waves. The leaf edges are lined with such large, unruly waves that the leaves often end up twisted. A good grower that will make a lively and distinct mound, blooms in mid-summer with lavender flowers.

Heavily ruffled deep purple-black leaves lend wonderful contrast to the garden. When the opalescent leaves catch the light, they reveal varying shades of purple, amethyst, violet, and plum. Airy spikes of small white flowers attract pollinators and hummingbirds. Fabulous for shady areas, but the dark foliage can also stand up to full sun. Excellent in mixed containers. Herbaceous perennial; semi-evergreen in mild winter areas.

An early blooming phlox with a naturally dwarf habit; lavender-pink blushed flowers with deeper pink eyes; blooms profusely in early to mid-summer; great for borders or in containers; dark green glossy foliage is mildew and disease resistant

Copper Canyon Giant Hen and Chicks brings the warm colors of its namesake landscape right into the garden—large rosettes that shift from green through amber and bronze tones as the season progresses, creating a rich, sun-warmed display that deepens beautifully into fall. The unusually large size of the Chick Charms Giant series sets these rosettes apart from standard sempervivums, making them more visible as a groundcover and more striking as individual specimen plants in a container or rock garden feature. Yellow flowers rise above the foliage in summer, and the parent rosette generates offsets steadily over time, gradually expanding to fill any space it’s given. Drought-tolerant, deer and rabbit resistant, and evergreen through all four seasons, it handles the most challenging planting conditions without complaint. Like all hens and chicks, it asks for almost nothing beyond a sunny position with reasonable drainage. An architectural, colorful, and completely carefree ground-level presence.

Oakleaf Magenta Primrose opens the spring garden with a vivid, saturated flourish—clusters of rich magenta blooms that emerge above deeply textured, oak-leaf-shaped foliage and hold their color through the cool weeks of early spring. As one of the first perennials to flower, it pairs naturally with early bulbs, hellebores, and pulmonaria in the partly shaded border where spring color is most welcome. The mounding, clumping habit stays compact at 12 to 18 inches, making it a natural fit for the front of a border, a container, or a woodland-edge planting where smaller-scale detail reads up close. Consistent moisture and partial shade keep it at its very best; it may go dormant in summer heat, then return fresh with the cooler weeks of fall. Despite its delicate appearance, it is genuinely hardy and returns reliably each year with the same vivid spring show. A small plant with an outsized impact on the early-season garden.

Belarina Amethyst Ice Primrose offers a subtler, more romantic take on the early spring garden with fully double blooms in a soft blend of lavender-purple and white that captures the cool, crystalline quality of the season’s early light. Like all the Belarina series, the sterile doubled flowers hold their display far longer than single-flowered primroses, making this a particularly enduring performer in early spring containers, shaded border edges, and mass plantings where weeks of consistent color are the goal. The compact habit tucks naturally into the front of a shaded border or fills a container with graceful, low mounding form. Consistent moisture and part to full shade are the main requirements; meet those and the flowers practically take care of themselves through the cool spring weeks. The soft color palette pairs beautifully with spring-blooming hellebores, pulmonaria, and early ferns for a layered, considered shade planting. An elegant and understated choice for gardeners who want spring color that feels refined rather than loud.

Striated Cranesbill has masses of beautiful shell pink flowers with crimson veins at the ends of the stems from late spring to mid summer, which are most effective when planted in groupings. Its deeply cut lobed palmate leaves are dark green in color. As an added bonus, the foliage turns a gorgeous dark red in the fall.

Unique maroon spikes of pea-flowers with a yellow keel rise from medium green foliage in late spring; use this plant for its outstanding display of vertical flowers as an accent in the garden or borders

Forbidden Fruit features bold, yellow-orange foliage with blue-green margins. The bright yellow hue changes to a more demure, creamy white as the plant ages. Forbidden Fruit is quite slug resistant, making it a great choice for display gardens and out of the way shade beds.

Georgia Peach Coral Bells features dainty spikes of creamy white bell-shaped flowers rising above the foliage from mid summer to early fall. Its attractive crinkled lobed leaves remain peach in color with curious purple undersides and tinges of silver throughout the year.

Long-blooming vivid flowers on strong stems light up the sunny border. An interspecific hybrid great alone, massed, or in mixed containers. Lots of radiant rosy red blooms with prominent pink stamens.

Yarrow is an easy perennial, growing in nearly any sunny situation, even where there is poor soil. Plants form low mounds of fragrant ferny foliage, with clusters of flowers appearing on upright stems in early summer. This strain gives a wide range of soft pastel shades, from white through to cream, yellow, pink, salmon, mauve and red.

Moonbeam Tickseed is smothered in stunning buttery yellow daisy flowers with lemon yellow eyes at the ends of the stems from mid to late summer. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its ferny leaves remain emerald green in color throughout the season.

Lipstick Strawberry is a perennial that is typically grown for its edible qualities. It produces red heart-shaped berries which are usually ready for picking from mid spring to mid fall. This variety is considered an everbearing type of strawberry, which means that it will repeatedly produce fruit across most of the season. The berries have a sweet taste and a firm texture.

A series of genetic dwarfs that don't need the special attention of staking. Spikes of dark blue, pink and white flowers with dark centers are good for the back of the border and cut flowers.

Showy Goldenrod earns its name in late summer and fall when its upright, three-to-five-foot stems break into dense, arching plumes of brilliant golden yellow that electrify the back of the sunny border. A Great Lakes native, it provides one of the most reliable and generous bursts of late-season color available to the Midwest garden, supporting dozens of butterfly and bird species as they prepare for migration. Unlike some goldenrods that spread aggressively, this one stays in a well-mannered, upright clump that’s trustworthy enough for mass plantings or naturalistic border work. It thrives in average, well-drained soil in full sun and asks for almost nothing once established. The warm yellow fall foliage extends the seasonal show well after the flowers have finished, and the seed heads provide food for birds into winter. A bold, native choice for anyone who wants a late-season display that truly takes care of itself.

Beautiful, light amethyst purple flower globes are produced above twisted, snaky, grey-green foliage in late summer to early fall; an excellent naturalizing plant that is also great in containers
