Glover Perennials - 2011 Availability Welcome to our 2011 Glover Perennials catalog! We are excited to present to you our latest plant offerings. You will find many new listings in this year's catalog (over 90 new plants). The trends you will see include: More natives. Glover Perennials is committed to offering the largest selection of native plants on Long Island and beyond with over 140 species to offer this year from the Northeastern U.S., as well as many more near natives. We specifically seek out natives with ornamental appeal so they can be offered both in garden centers as well as revegetation projects. Many of our natives we grow originated from Long Island locations. The provenance of plants refers to the location where the plant originated from. We feel there is a benefit offering local genotype plants. Schizachyrium scoparium (Little Bluestem) with a Long Island provenance rather than Nebraskan will be better adapted to our region. If a species is of Long Island provenance, we note it in our catalog. We have added a Near Natives list in the back of the catalog. In addition to our NE U.S. native plant list, we feel it is also important to highlight those plants coming from the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and Mid-west regions of the U.S. More new and unusual plants. We have always been known for new and unusual. This year is no exception. We are proudly releasing several new varieties to the trade developed here at our nursery. Agastache 'Pink Haze' is a sport of 'Purple Haze' we found several years ago - all the same attributes with a pink flower instead of purple. Euonymus 'Vanilla Frosting' is a variegated sport of 'Kewensis' we have been building up numbers on for many years and finally have enough to share. White marbled foliage that takes on pink highlights in winter with a plant size much smaller than other variegated euonymus make this a unique and exciting new evergreen for the shade. Trifolium 'Black Ice' is another new introduction originating here. The foliage is near black with a thin green edge - a real stand out. Phone: (631) 765-3546 Fax: (631) 765-3549 More woodies. We have always grown woody vines as part of our offerings. We are now also building up our woody shrub offerings with a focus on unusual, native and old-fashioned. Examples of each include: Unusual- Clerodendron trichotomum, Indigofera ‘RoseCarpet', Polygonum 'Lemon Lace' Native - Baccharis halimifolia, Clethra alnifolia, Myrica pensylvanica, Viburnum dentatum Old-fashioned - Deutzia scabra, Philadelphus cvs. Look in the back of the catalog for a list of all the woodies we grow. We will produce a separate woodies only availability list. Please contact us if you would like to receive this. More deer resistant plants. In response to the growing problem of deer browsing, we are offering many new deer resistant plants. Agastache 'Rosita', Amsonia 'Blue Ice', Eragrostis spectabilis, Hypericum 'Sunburst', Lamium 'Ghost', Peonies, Pycnanthemum muticum and Sorghastrum nutans among others are excellent choices in the battle against deer browsing. Look in the back of the catalog for a complete list of all our deer resistant plants. More fall bloomers. We are strong advocates for planting in the fall and believe it is important for us to have a lot of fall bloomers to offer. Aster 'Blue Autumn', 'Purple Dome' and 'Avondale', Boltonia asteroides 'Nana', Chrysopsis mariana, Dendranthemas, Eupatoriums among others all provide a strong end of season color show to extend summer's glory. We list all of our fall blooming plants in the back of the catalog. More items in multiple sizes. We have added an additional size to more of the plants we grow to create more ways of using our plants. Plants such as Agastaches (1 & 4 Qt.), Calaminthas (1 & 3 Qt.), Liriope 'Big Blue' (4" & 3Qt.), Rabdosias (1 & 6Qt.), and Saginas (2.5" & 1Qt.) are now available in multiple sizes. If you are not familiar with some of our plants, our display gardens offer a great way to see them grown to maturity. Please come to visit. Golf carts are available for your convenience.
