Rudbeckia fulgida
‘Goldsturm’
Black-eyed
Daisy (Zone 3)
‘Goldsturm’
is a widely used cultivar of our southeastern U.S. native Rudbeckia fulgida. ‘Goldsturm’ was originally bred in Germany in the
late 1930’s and selected for its free flowering more compact habit than the species. It will grow to 18-24" and blooms in Mid to
Late-season. The golden, daisy-like flowers are 3-4" wide and last for months in the summer. Deadheading old blooms will encourage
continual flower production. These perform admirably in a full sun site with rich, well-worked soil. The dark green foliage
contrasts well with the gold flowers. Ideally these should be vegetatively propagated, seed propagated forms may exhibit a wide
range of variation in form and height. This wonderful long blooming perennial was voted the Plant of the Year in 1999 by the
Perennial Plant Association.

This
plant forms a dense mat of circular leaves. The new leaves are a bright, grass-green color. As they age, they get a little darker
and take on a slightly bronze tone. They also have a bronze-gold fall color. Yellow flowers appear in Mid to Late-season but can’t
compete with the gorgeous foliage! Sedum tetractinum grows to 3" tall and will tolerate a variety of soils. It likes to trail
along and so is good when used in mass in the border and even trailing down containers or hanging baskets.

Sempervivum arachnoideum ‘Red Cobweb’
Hens and Chicks (Zone 4)
Pale green compact rosettes are covered with tiny hairs that resemble spider

are red. The blooms, however, are reddish pink. They bloom from a flower stalk
that emerges from the rosettes and can grow up to 8" tall. When not in bloom,
the plants only reach about 2" tall and are slow to spread. These are great to
tuck into rock gardens or to use in troughs. They prefer full sun and well
drained soils.

Solidago ‘Crown of Rays’
Ornamental
Goldenrod (Zone 2)
Contrary to popular belief, goldenrod does not cause hay fever! We will blame that on the Ragweeds. This cultivar is a
dwarf selection of our native, aggressive, Canada Goldenrod. This plant was bred mainly for its large, yellow flower panicles and
short, compact habit. Its vibrant golden-yellow blooms are produced in Late-season atop 24" plants. This cultivar was originally
introduced into the trade as a cut flower for arrangements and bouquets. These plants perform best in a full-sun site with average
well-drained soil. They look especially good in the garden with other late-blooming perennials such as Asters, Boltonia, and
Dendranthema.
...............Available in 1-Quart only.
Solidago rugosa
‘Fireworks’
Ornamental
Goldenrod (Zone 2)
For years Goldenrods have been receiving a bad rap for supposedly causing hay fever; however, this is totally false. Rather it
is plants in the genus Ambrosia (Ragweed) that are the primary culprits causing hay fever. ‘Fireworks’ is a fantastic 3' dwarf
selection of the native rough-stemmed goldenrod. The large, arching sprays of yellow panicles are displayed in Late-season. This
plant can be used as a specimen, accent plant, and the cut flowers are also excellent to use in arrangements. Like other
goldenrods, they prefer full sun and average well-drained soil. They combine well with other late-blooming perennials such as
Boltonia, Asters, Dendranthema and Phlox.

Solidago sphacelate ‘Golden Fleece’
Goldenrod (Zone

Fleece’ has 18" tall brilliant gold flower wands. The large, dark green,

borders, naturalized areas, and cut flower arrangements.

Stachys byzantina
Lamb’s Ears (Zone 4)
Lamb’s
Ears is one of those truly unforgettable garden perennials. It is primarily grown and used for its soft, silvery, basal foliage.
The purplish flowers, which appear on 18" stems, are commonly removed from the plants as they develop as many people feel they
detract from the overall appearance of the plant. The foliage will grow to 8" and likes a full sun site with well-drained soil of
moderate fertility. During periods of hot, humid weather foliar diseases may develop leading to open dead patches in the center of
the plant. If possible, avoid late day and overhead watering during these periods. A nice plant for edging and borders.
...............Available in 1-Quart only.
Stachys byzantina ‘Big Ears’
Lamb’s
Ears (Zone 4)
This outstanding cultivar was selected for its large silver foliage and its improved tolerance of heat and humidity. It is a

in a full sun well-drained site.

Fleece’
Dwarf Lamb’s Ear (Zone 5)

another 4-5" on top of that. It blooms in summer and loves sites with full sun
and well-drained soil with average fertility. Great to use in rock gardens,
perennial beds and containers.

and edging plant. Deadheading old flower stalks will encourage some rebloom.

Stachys monieri
‘Hummelo’
Common
Betony (Zone 4)
Most gardeners and horticulturists are familiar with the traditional silver-foliaged Stachys byzantina (Lamb’s Ears). There
are several other Stachys species and cultivars with plain green foliage that make wonderful, ornamental landscape plants.
‘Hummelo’ produces very attractive rosy-pink flower spikes that grow to 20". This clump forming selection blooms in Mid-season and
has lustrous dark green basal foliage. Plant in a full sun site with well-drained soil of moderate fertility. Its short height
lends itself well to the front of the border or as an edging.
