planted about 5” deep. Wild flower. Fall only 7.00
ASTER Zones 3-9 (Michaelmas Daisy)
Aster plants are green bushes all season
and then in fall, the handsome green foliage very nearly disappears,
smothered by thousands of blooms. Butterflies and other nectar
collectors love them. Use asters in the border and as summer hedges.
They are quite positively the most spectacular thing about fall.
Asters do their best with full sun, ample moisture, and fertile
soil. The varieties below bloom Sept.-Oct.
ASAP
A. 'Alma Potschke' - Brilliant vivid pink. 3'-4' tall
and wide. Bush tends to fall open. We dislike staking, but we
do place a short cage over it in spring and train the stems to
come up inside it. The smashing color is well worth the extra
bit of attention. 7.00

GAILLARDIA ga-LARD-ia Zones 2-9 (Indian Blanket Flower)
Gaillardias are valuable for their free-flowering
quality and for being quite drought resistant. They are slow to
emerge in spring. We avoid varieties that are taller as they tend
to flop and need staking.

bloom power and compact, uniform habit. Profuse bloom early June till
frost if spent blooms removed reguraly. 8"-10" tall. Space 12". Spring

GRASSES
Research on ornamental grasses has made
us cautious. Sources of information vary widely in the hardiness
zone numbers. Many are not hardy in Zone 4 where we live. We have
tried several that proved not to be hardy. And we feel we want
clump-forming grasses rather than those that spread by rhizomes.
We don't have many areas that we want a grass to take over.

Feather)
Columns of feathery flowers all around the stalk. Liatris has the
unique habit of blooming from the top down. Blooms in our garden in
July. 3' tall. Seldom needs dividing. Low maintenance. Nice dried
flower. Prefers good drainage.
We are perennially amazed that so little effort is required to grow
such perfection. The most important cultural detail in growing lilies
is good drainage. We learned the hard way that drainage does not mean
just planting on a slope: water needs to drain away from the bulb and
roots for they will rot if kept wet. Where the soil is heavy clay, we
dig a hole about 3" deeper than normal and fill that 3" with gravel.
Bulbs are planted about 6"-8" deep. The hole should be 3 times as deep
as the height of the bulb.
Lilies make wonderful cut flowers. It is a good rule of thumb to leave 2/3 of the stem to provide food
for the bulb for the next year. Lilies bloom 3 weeks.

PENSTEMON PEN-steh-mun Zones 3-8 (Beardtongue)
Penstemons generally have tubular flowers
that flare out at the end. They are undemanding and the foliage

we have found some that are and will continue to try others.

A neat wildflower. It bears 4"-6" spikes of blooms in
ivory white atop 4' tall plants in mid to late summer. Dark green
leaves are placed horizontally on the stems. Space 18" Easy
to grow. Excellent background plant for daylilies or purple coneflowers.
