Phlox maculata ‘Natascha’
Spotted Phlox  (Zone 5)
Spectacular, fragrant, bright white and pink bicolor flowers top the glossy lance-shaped foliage of this phlox in mid-summer. The stems of this phlox are sometimes spotted, hence the common name spotted phlox. ‘Natascha’ grows 2½’ tall by 2’ wide making it perfect for the mixed border, naturalized area, and cutting garden. This plant performs best in full sun with moist well-drained soils, but can tolerate a little shade.
...............Available in 1-Quart and IMPACT containers.
 

Phlox paniculata
Garden Phlox  (Zone 4)
Garden phlox is a classic indispensable perennial that every garden should have! These wonderful plants are known for their long Mid to Late-season bloom period. Their flowers are very fragrant and are great for cutting. Most varieties are tall, growing between 2' to 6’, which makes them a great choice for the back of the perennial border. They require a full sun site and average well-drained garden soil for good performance. Occasionally some garden phlox cultivars will develop powdery mildew. A full sun site, good air movement, and morning watering, will help prevent mildew from developing.  For 2007 we offer the following cultivars of the Eastern U.S. native Phlox paniculata:

Phlox ‘Minnie Pearl’
Phlox Hybrid  (Zone 5)
‘Minnie Pearl’ is a natural hybrid between Phlox maculata and Phlox glaberimma. White flowers bloom for several weeks above clean glossy foliage. Plants grow 12-18" tall and form a nice groundcover. Great for use in containers as well as in the ground and the flowers are great for cutting. Plant in full to part sun.
...............Available in IMPACT container only.
 

Phlox 'Ping Pong'
Phlox Hybrid  (Zone 5)
This cultivar is a cross between P. paniculata and P. divaricata and takes the best qualities from each. Large P. paniculata-like flowers are light-pink with red eyes and bloom late spring through summer. The dark green foliage has good mildew resistance taken from P. divaricata. It grows 18-22" and performs best in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil.

Physostegia virginiana ‘Red Beauty’

This selection of the eastern U.S. native grows to about 30" tall and, like most Physostegias, spreads quite freely. Plant in full sun and average garden soils.

Pulmonaria longifolia ‘E. B. Anderson’
Lungwort  (Zone 3)

Pulmonaria ‘Raspberry Splash’ (PP12138)
Lungwort  (Zone 3)

Pulmonaria ‘Roy Davidson’
Lungwort  (Zone 3)
This cultivar is a hybrid between Pulmonaria longifolia (long-leafed lungwort) and P. saccharata (Bethlehem Sage). This selection has the long, narrow foliage of the P. longifolia types, with the striking white spottiness of P. saccharata. ‘Roy Davidson' will grow to 12" and produces lovely, pale blue flowers. The main selling point for this cultivar is that it is reputed to be more heat tolerant than other pulmonarias, which would extend its growing range further into the south.

Pulmonaria ‘Silver Shimmers’ (PP13290)
Lungwort  (Zone 3)

Pulsatilla vulgaris 
Pasque Flower  (Zone 5)
An excellent plant for Early-season interest in the garden!
