Edgewood Plants 2018

A very attractive dwarf Lily of the Nile, Agapanthus ‘Peter Pan’ produces graceful rounded clusters of trumpet-shaped, light blue flowers, each petal with a darker mid-vein. They rise on stiff, upright stalks atop clumps of beautiful, evergreen, narrow and loose, strap-shaped leaves. Their foliage mounds remain attractive when the plants are not in bloom. Ideal for small gardens or containers!

Much used & admired as an easy, low care, “lumpy lawn” this locally selected variety of “Creeping Red Fescue” boasts more drought tolerance, a silvery-bluer color & an earlier Winter start of new growth (rather than Spring.) Spreading by underground rhizomes, it makes highly attractive finely bladed clumps to 1’ tall. If left unmowed gives a dense, lush look. Drought tolerant & easy-going, it’s a great California native choice to cover a large area, replace a lawn, fill in a parking strip or used as erosion control for a hillside. Can be mowed. Evergreen & best appearance with some Summer water. Some shade tolerance.

Lavandula x Intermedia is a popular hybrid lavender combining the cold-hardiness of the English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and the heat tolerance of the Portuguese lavender (Lavandula latifolia), therefore providing an answer to the gardeners’ worldwide quest for a Provencal atmosphere in their gardens. These Lavender plants are usually taller than the English Lavender and grow in shrubby compact mounds up to 36 in. tall (90 cm). They are adorned with long, loose spikes of highly fragrant flowers, ranging from dark violet to white from early to late summer. The cultivars of this group of Lavenders tend to be more tolerant of acidic conditions.
