Beautiful, divided, fresh green leaves make a pleasing clump. The flowers are produced earlier in the season than those of other species; they are pure white branching bottle-­‐
brushes; late flowering stems are frequently produced. Blooming season is summer. Plants 5' tall, 2' wide.
Lacy black foliage on dark 2' stems complements purple-­‐tinted fragrant white flowers for an eye catching accent or contrast.
Fronds 12"-­‐30" long, deciduous, rising from a short-­‐creeping, horizontal, colony-­‐forming rhizome. The stalk of the frond forks nearly in half with the two parts curving back, each having 3-­‐5 finger-­‐like divisions, each in turn bearing 12-­‐20 pairs of oblong segments.
Leaves deciduous, upt to 28cm long and 1.3cm wide, upright, strongly ribbed beneath. Peduncle 45-­‐70cm tall. Inflorescence of 20-­‐25 flowers. Insides of the flowers are violet-­‐blue (92A), segmets sometimes recurved, 2.9cm long (tube 1cm), 3.8cm across. Mainly seed propagated since its introduction and so better to regard this as a group of plants that look similar rather than a proper cultivar.
Plants reach 3" in height forming a mat of conjested mounding narrow, chocolate-­‐
brown foliage; flowers are dark lavender-­‐
blue, effective in spring.
Rather small, up to 20 cm, usually compact, with neat, orbicular, densely hairy leaves, often sericeous; hairs patent or erecto-­‐
patent on all parts of the plant. Downy, rounded leaves and a copious display of airy tiny greeny-­‐yellow stars borne in feathery sprays. Prolonged flowering period. Plants 18" tall, and 2' wide.

notes
Plants reach 24-­‐30" in height; flowers are dark purple, held above green and gold variegated foliage.
Unarmed herbaceous perennial to 2.7m. Fruit black, about 3mm diameter.
Closely resembling A. racemosa, but umbels larger, to 35 or 40mm diameter. Rootstock similar to A. cordata.
A distinctive subspecies of A. flavum, found in Tibet at altitudes of up to 4000m in dry, sunny locations. Far more ornamental than the common A. flavum subsp. abbreviatum, its relatively large bright yellow inflorescence stands well above the pedate foliage. The spathe is held horizontally, so that a blooming clump appears to be studded with little yellow flags waving in the wind.
To 40cm. Leaf solitary, radiate, leaflets 10-­‐
20x2-­‐4cm, 7-­‐13, lanceolate, long-­‐acuminate. Peduncle to 15cm; spathe dark purple, limb broad-­‐ovate, strongly incurved, cuspidate, interior marked white; spadix appendix to 18cm, slender, tapering above, long-­‐
exserted. Leaves 2, leaflets 15-­‐20cm, 3, broad-­‐ovate, long-­‐acuminate, apex filiform, glossy green; petiole green or tinged purple, exceeding peduncle. Flowers appear before the leaves are fully developed. Flowers of variable coloring, but usually seen with the black-­‐maroon spathe, the hooded portion green and brown striped over a pure white knobbed spadix and throat. Leaves handsome, three-­‐lobed. Plants 18" tall, 18" wide. Spring blooming.

A selection in which the leaves have a green border and the central area is swirled with paler shades of gray-­‐green and chartreuse.
The narrowly spear-­‐shaped leaves are conspicuously marbled with grey and cream. The leaves are produced in autumn. The flowers are greenish-­‐white with purplish staining at the base and creamy spadices. The flowers are fleeting in spring, but in summer, stout stalks support columns of orange-­‐red berries, at which time a group is made highly conspicuous, though bare of leaves. Plants 18" tall, 12" wide. Spring blooming.
Males more attractive and feathery in bloom, but females provide attractive seed heads which persistinto winter. Plants 6-­‐7' tall, 4' wide.
Evergreen; leaves 2, to 3" across, uniformly green, glossy, petioles to 5" long; flowers greenish-­‐purple orbrown, 1/2" long.
This is a Siberian asparagus that we acquired many years ago from seed collector Alexandra Berkutenko. The branched stems make soft arching plumes in the garden, and the female plants are smothered in plump red berries in fall. Because it is relatively short, we recommend placing it near the front of the border, with the caveat that like most asparagus it is relatively late to emerge.
Fronds to 30 cm long; apex crested.

Plants form very large upright clumps that reach 6' or more across; leaves are dark green with rippled edges; this information is from the 1998 Bridgewood fall supplement.
A sport of H. ‘Lakeside Shore Master'. Leaves are blue with a narrow creamy-­‐ yellow center. Makes a good sized clump topped with near-­‐white flowers. Quite an attractive plant and has proven to be a vigorous grower.
Leaves emerge blue and almost immediately develop yellow centers that improve and brighten with time. The blue margin is quite wide and the leaf is divided into about three equal parts. Very vigorous and topped with near-­‐white flowers. A large hosta that is a sport of H. 'Sagae'. Beautifully shaped thick green leaves with a very wide yellow border that later fades to creamy-­‐white. Lavender flowers in early summer.
Foreground size for specimen use. Round, cupped leaves have excellent substance, puckering, and an exceptional intense blue coloration. Performs best in shade to 3/4 sun (DS 111). Blue color of foliage holds up well in considerable sun; vigorous. Floriferous, producing numerous pale lavender flowers. Performs best in shade to 1/4 sun. Hybridized by Paul Aden (DS 133).
A large mound of neatly rippled, dark green foliage; semi-­‐upright mound habit, growing to 26" tall by 52" wide. Leaves are 14" long by 10.5" wide; dark green; shiny underside; blade broadly oblong-­‐ovate with a deeply lobed base and a long, thin, curved tip; heavily rippled margins, 20 or more per side; Hosta that forms a low, dense mound of green-­‐centered, heart shaped foliage with wide margins, that change from yellow to creamy white during the season. Lavender flowers.
Large, thick, blue-­‐green leaves are heart-­‐
shaped and have a heavily rippled and serrated margin. The clump will be topped with near-­‐white flowers in early summer and will reach a size of 24” high by 48” across.

A selection of this North American native with showy sky blue flower spikes to 4' in late summer through fall. It differs from the species in having hairy stems, larger flowers than the species and is more robust. ‘Nekan’ (abbreviation of Nebraska and Kansas) is a seed strain that was found growing in the wild in an area north of Lincoln, Nebraska. It features whorls of 2-­‐lipped, sky blue flowers in spikes atop stiff stems with linear grayish-­‐
green leaves. H: 24-­‐48" W: 24-­‐36"
18" x 24" wide. The quilted gray foliage is an attractive backdrop to the spikes of pure blue flowers. Germander Sage loves sun and heat and should be planted in a loamy, well-­‐
drained soil. It blooms most heavily in early summer and again in the fall. The plant spreads by underground roots to form impressive mounding specimens. Native of the Sierra Madre Oriental mountains of Mexico.
Perennial herb 25-­‐100cm. Stems erect, simple or occasionally branched.Verticillasters 4-­‐8-­‐flowered, calyx ovate-­‐campanulate, 8-­‐12mm, teeth rather spinose, glandular-­‐pilose; corolla 20-­‐30mm, violet-­‐blue to pinkish-­‐magenta, with white or yellow markings particularly on lower lip, tube curved upwards, exserted, upper lip deeply bifid, falcate. Plants are 25" tall with wonderful lilac-­‐pink flower spikes June-­‐Aug.
Plants reach 18" in flower and produce spikes of deep purple flowers. Best with moisture and half-­‐shade.
Broad, golden-­‐yellow leaves look good throughout the growing season; fruits bright cherry-­‐red, plants vigorous.
'Redbug' is a hybrid between S. rubra and S. wherryi introduced by the North Carolina Botanical Garden. True to most hybrids 'Redbug' is quite vigorous in the garden bog. Expect to see slender clumps of red pitchers, heavily veined in brown-­‐red, with chubby cobra-­‐like flaring pitchers. Height is about eight inches.

To 1m. Rhizome creeping. Leaves 2-­‐3 pinnate, bright green. Inflorescence an erect, narrow-­‐ovoid, many flowered panicle, fragrant; sepals 4, pale yellow, 3mm; stamens erect, exceeding sepals; filaments threadlike. Achenes to 15, sessile.
Glabrous perennial; upper leaves 2-­‐pinnate, leathery, the leaflets obtuse, entire, or the terminal ones3-­‐lobed. Flowers few in panicles, bisexual, the sepals white, oblong, 1/4" long, stamens as long, somewhat clavate; achenes many, fusiform, stipitate, 10-­‐ to 12-­‐nerved.
Plants to 5' tall with nearly black stems, contrasting green leaves and topped by fluffy lavender flowers in large flat-­‐ topped corymbs.
Heaven bound and steadfast, 9 ft. tall, crimson tinted stalks, clothed with lacy grayish green fernlike foliage, have a willowy architectural appeal. Myriad lavender-­‐pink flowers, centered by cream-­‐colored stamens, compose a massive, yet sprightly pastel cloud, which envelopes the entire upper 3 ft. of each impressive plant nearly all summer long. Blooms late June–September. 5'–9' high x 2' wide.
Plants reach 6'-­‐8' in height and produce sprays of lavender flowers in summer. ** I wonder if there is a distinct cultivar 'Lavender Mist' or if this is just a common name that over time has been incorrectly raised to cultivar status. I can find no manuals that describe this cultivar, only nursery catalogs, and their descriptionsw do not differ from that of the species.
Clump-­‐forming plants form 8"-­‐12" tall mounds of dark green distinctly lobed and serrated foliage; flowers are deep pink, effective in spring.
Plants stoloniferous and trailing, reaching 8" in height, and bearing white flowers above unusually-­‐textured, light green foliage.
Compact plants reach 15" in height; large grape-­‐purple flowers open intermittently from May to September.
Plants reach 18"-­‐24" in height with large orchid-­‐pink flowers.

DWARF GOLDEN SPEEDWELL
Low growing, this has golden leaves that are brightest in sunlight. Spreading to a foot or more wide it makes an attractive ground cover. In late spring to early summer 6" tall stems of pale, lavender-­‐blue flowers open. When the main flush of blossoms is done a lighter, intermittent follow-­‐up of flowers may continue through the rest of summer. The golden leaves are noted for their resistence to sun scorch in hot climates. When grown in heavier shade the leaves turn more green.

notes
Upright, suckering tightly multi-­‐stemmed shrub, 6' to 20' tall. The white flowers are borne in erect,compact, 2" to 3" long racemes and the petals are more distinctly and uniformly obovate than in A. arborea or A. laevis, and somewhat shorter, 3/5" long. Fruit is black, juicy and sweet. A. canadensis flowers about two weeks earlier than A. arborea and A. laevis. Fall color is usually yellow and gold, although individuals can have sprinklings of orange and red.
Closely allied to A. arborea, but differs by reason of the bronzy color of the unfolding leaves and their lackof pubescence as well as the almost glabrous pedicels and peduncle of the inflorescence (DS 9). A small tree or occasionally large shrub; profuse fragrant white flowers in May, interspersed with delicate pink foliage. The leaves assume rich autumnal tints (DS 58).
Plants 60' to 75' in height, occasionally to 100'. Fall color yellow. Bark on young stems and branches isyellowish or bronze and produces thin papery shreds, gradually changing to reddish brown and breaking into large, ragged edged plates.
Size 6' to 8' tall and 6' to 10' wide. Growing conditions, in all settings for sun. Flowers, yellow green, in spring and summer, leaves deciduous.
Small tree or large shrub with several large, crooked, spreading branches forming an irregular, rounded, open crown, reaching 20' to 30' in height and 15' to 20' in spread. Fall color a good yellow; can bespectacular. Flowers yellow, fragrant.
Northern type; similar to 'Afterglow' with smaller, dark red fruits and more upright growth habit; alsoslower to fruit heavily. Early blooming; requires 'Dwarf Male' for pollination. Found in the wild in West Virginia, selected for profuse, dark red fruits and slightly upright form (American Nurseryman February 2009).
A male form selected to pollinate northern types of I. verticillata; flowers over an extended period. Initially released as 'Dwarf Male'.

Very small shrub, reaching only 2' to 4' in height, yet has larger fruits than any other I. verticillata selection. Slow-­‐growing, broader than tall, producing bright red, 1/2" diameter fruits in abundance on very short pedicels. Leaves broad, oval, not glossy. Originated as a wild seedling discovered near Hampden Nurseries, MA by the nursery's founder Peter Sicbaldi (American Nurseryman February 2009).
Shrub with erect, clustered branches, branched only near the top, reaching 3' to 5, possibly 10' in height,spreading to form large colonies. Fall color scarlet and crimson, often persisting well into the fall. Flowers perfect, white, fragrant, borne in upright, dense, pubescent, 2" to 6" long, 5/8" wide racemes,terminating short, leafy twigs, effective in June and July.
Tree similar to M. macrophylla, reaching 15' to 30' (to 40') in height. Leaves reach 10" to 24" in lengthand are clustered near the ends of the branches, creating an umbrella effect.

Plants to 2 1/2' tall; hardy to -­‐25 degrees F.; mid-­‐to late season blooming. Plants about as wide as tall;leaves held 3 years, new growth with thin tan indumentum; flowers white with faint green dorsal spotting, shaded pink on edges and reverse upon opening, 2 3/4" (7 cm) across, slightly fragrant, held in globular trusses of 14. (Orlando S. Pride, reg. 1979).
Shrub of loose, open habit reaching 1' to 8' in height (5' average), and 3' to 8' in width, with numerous,spreading, very hispid branches. Flowers white, rarely pink, with clove-­‐like scent, borne 4 to 9 perinflorescence in mid-­‐
May into June.
Unable to locate a description as of 1-­‐6-­‐88; Hall's catalog lists only the name in conjunction with severalother Murphy selections, such as `Narrow Leaf', 'Small Leaf', and 'Medium Leaf'.
Plants are wide spreading at maturity, with a slow growth rate. Leaves are bright yellow which turn a stunning yellow-­‐orange to intense scarlet in autumn.

notes
A fast growing tree with rich green foliage that stays green in winter; pyramidal habit.
Plants 40' to 70' in height, 25' to 35' wide; can attain 100' or more. Softly and gracefully pyramidalin youth with tapering trunk, becoming pendulously pyramidal with age. Bark flaky and scaly on youngtrees, brown, soon with wide, flat ridges; on old trees, heavily and deeply furrowed; freshly cut surfaces showing purplish streaks.
Dwarf form, broader than high, very compact, annual growth only about 15 cm, somewhat resembling Picea abies 'Nidiformis' in habit, twigs spreading horizontally, shoots slender, summer shoots distinctly regular and spreading, nearly fan-­‐
like; needles only to 10 mm long but usually much shorter, densely arranged, light green.
This name includes not only the three remainng original plants and any cuttings or grafts (staked or unstaked) that may be raised from them, but also weeping seedlings that the original plants, or their offspring, have produced. SARGENT HEMLOCK
All four of the "Sargent Hemlocks" form large, semi-­‐globose shrubs that are broader than high and lack a vertical trunk, have a framework of a few massive, ascending main branches, and an irregular thatch of foliage carried on pendulous terminal shoots.

notes
Ray flowers larger, up to 1 3/4" in diameter, raised on a 2 1/2" peduncle that brings the flower above thefoliage. Habit is distinctly horizontal and a plant in full flower is a magnificent sight. The leaves mayturn reddish purple in fall. I have read accounts that state that this is the best fruiting form and also thatfruit is sparsely set; I have not resloved this discrepancy in my own mind.
