Best New Plants for 2012

'Fire Spinner' Hardy Ice Plant

Delosperma

A flower color rarely seen

Am I really seeing the color combination of yellow, orange, lilac and white? If the flowers weren't getting me worked up enough, the evergreen thick shiny foliage that stands up to the hottest, driest of summers, plus it is almost everblooming, plus no maintenance, plus perennial, whoa Daddy! Too good to be true? Can't wait to find out.

Deer resistant. Designated a Plant Select for its outstanding qualities. Prefers a well drained site, and even grows well in rocks and sand. Grows 2-3" tall. Sun perennial. Go here for more Delosperma.

The earliest to bloom of all Hydrangeas plus extremely fragrant with a strong jasmine scent

'Golden Crane' Hydrangea

Hydrangea angustipetala 'MonLongShou'

An exciting addition to American gardens, this precocious Hydrangea, with large lacecaps of white and chartreuse not only presents its flowers in late spring - the earliest of all Hydrangeas to blossom -- but is highly scented, a trait very rare in Hydrangeas as a whole. The jasmine-like scent will perfume 100 feet around. This superb selection was made by Dan Hinkley from seed collected in Southern Sichuan Province, China.

Easy to grow, deer and bunny resistant.

Holy Mouse Ears!

Mini Hosta Mania Strikes

The biggest thing in Hostas are the teeny-tiny minis with mature leaves less than 6” long. By far one of the most popular Hostas we’ve ever carried, ‘Blue Mouse Ears’ looks just like its name, itsy-bitsy curled bluish-green leaves create a fascinating mound. Minis are naturally slow growing and should be placed away from more vigorous plants. Due to minis' tiny roots, plants must be carefully watched for water. Adding organic matter and mulching well will help hold water in the soil. Other minis to try:

‘Frosted Mouse Ears.’ With a thick white border on rounded leaves this sweetheart looks great in containers, as a border edger or in mini landscapes.

‘Holy Mouse Ears.’ White centers are surrounded by blue-green edge.

'Rainbow's End.' One of the most unique and dramatic Hostas in existence.

'Sparkler.' Response after first look--this plant is not real!

GRAFTED

TOMATOES

Stronger! Faster!

Fights Off Disease and Pests! Super Yields!

Super tomatoes are created by connecting (grafting) the roots of vigorous, disease resistant varieties with the scion (top part of plant) of varieties with phenomenal flavors and excellent fruit quality.

See the amazing difference!

This photo shows a non-grafted ‘Big Beef’ grown right next to a 'Mighty Mato Big Beef.’ Each plant was pruned to two leaders and planting time and care were identical for both tomatoes.
