  1. Tel: 410-592-6106 Fax: 410-592-8338 info@perennialfarm.com Mary’s Must Haves November 8th, 2010 Take advantage of the remaining fall days to get some sweet spring bloomers in the ground. Many still look great but all are healthy, ready to plant, with seasonally appropriate foliage. Aquilegia ‘Little Lanterns’, No.1 – Fairies dance by the light of these in May and June. The beloved red and yellow columbine flowers will copiously bloom above compact foliage to 10”. Armeria ‘Splendens’, Qt. – A splendid choice for the rock garden or borders edge with rose-pink spherical blooms on 6-8” stems above grass-like foliage from May to mid-summer. Dianthus ‘Frosty’, No.1 - When the chill in the air begins to disappear expect to see the pure white double blooms of ‘Frosty’ appear. Beginning in March and continuing into fall, the fragrant flowers rise to a height of 8” above the compact blue-green foliage. Fragaria ‘Lipstick’, No.1 – No lipstick necessary to beautify this semi-evergreen ground cover which spreads by trailing runners and has dark green leaves with deep pink flowers in fall and spring. Lamium ‘Anne Greenway’, No.1 – These are full and nice now with mint green leaves edged in bright yellow with a slight sliver overlay. Pretty pink flowers will appear in late spring. Phlox stolonifera ‘Sherwood Purple’, Qt. – When spring is around the corner, these lovely lavender-purple flowers will surely be anticipated. Blooms appear on 8” stems above a mat of dark green rounded foliage. A spectacular show celebrating winter’s end will be had when allowed to creep through the shady bed with other spring blooming natives such as Aquilegia canadensis ‘Corbett’, Dicentra eximia and Tiarella cordifolia ‘Brandywine’. Phlox subulata ‘Scarlet Flame’, Qt. –The scarlet red to crimson flowers in April and May will not go unnoticed by passersby. Long after the blooms have faded, the evergreen needle-like foliage continues to offer texture and fill for the rock garden or along pathways. Polygonatum falcatum ‘Variegatum’, No.1 – Subtle white flowers of this woodland darling appear in May in dangling clusters under arching stems with soft green and white variegated leaves. Sisyrinchium ‘Lucerne’, Qt. – Those adorable blue eyes will be irresistible next spring when they are smiling at you in May. Iris-like foliage reaches only 8” and fits in the rock garden or as and edging. Others plants still looking great: Acorus ‘Variegatus’; Carex ‘Ice Dance’; Centaurea montana; Dianthus ‘Bath’s Pink’; Dicentra ‘Luxuriant’; Geranium ‘Biokovo’ & ‘Karmina’; Heuchera ‘Snow Angel’; Hypericum ‘Tricolor’; Japanese Holly Fern; Phlox ‘Candy Stripe’ Sedum ‘Angelina’, ‘John Creech’ & ‘Major’; Sempervivum tectorum ‘Mix’ & ‘Green Wheel’.
