Foxglove - Dalmatian Peach Hybrid (5" pot)

$4.99

Biennial. Gorgeous, creamy-peach trumpet blooms will completely encircle stems in their first season. Removing flower spikes will then ensure another heavy bloom in the following year. They are well-suited for containers, growing even in small patio pots. They are also very attractive in mixed borders or mass plantings along a pathway or fence. Note: While plants will still self-seed, as an F1 hybrid, ‘Dalmatian Peach’ seeds will not grow true to their parents.

Foxgloves are easy to grow, vertical accents to spruce up low light areas. Tubular flowers form on magnificent spires, and are an absolute hummingbird magnet. Cutting the main flower spike will produce side shoots that bloom into fall. As a biennial, Foxglove usually do not flower in their first year. In their second year they will bloom beautifully, self-seed generously, and then die. Because of this life cycle, successive plantings over two seasons will ensure you have Foxglove blooming in your garden for many years to come. They perform best in rich, well-draining soil that is acidic, making them an excellent choice to place near coniferous trees.

Location: Rear border, Shaded bed, Woodland garden

Alyssum - Carpet of Snow (4-pack)

$6.50

Annual. A classic variety of this popular annual - and one of my personal favourites. A true workhorse, ‘Carpet of Snow’ is one of the most versatile plants in the garden. As an ornamental, it can be tucked into the corners of raised beds, blanket the edge of a border bed, or drape gracefully over the sides of a mixed container. As a vegetable companion, its lovely, sweet fragrance attracts an abundance of pollinators and repels harmful insects. A low growth habit allows it to act as a living mulch. Both the leaves and flowers are edible, with a light peppery taste. Plants prefer moist, loamy soil, and providing a monthly dose of balanced fertilizer will be heartily rewarded.
