What's New
The week of January 3
Pick of the Crop for 2005!
Bedding Plants Perennials Trees & Shrubs
The 'Heavenly Blue' Morning Glory is well-named, with its incredible open-faced flowers of pure sky-blue. A vigorous, twining growth habit makes this a perfect plant for hanging baskets or trellises. The gorgeous Phlox paniculata 'Becky Towe', features fragrant, salmon-carmine flowers with magenta eyes and incredible gold-edged variegated foliage and looks incredible planted with contrasting plants such as purple-leafed snakeroot. 'Diabolo' Ninebark is a super contrast plant with deep purple foliage on strong, upright growth. It features pink clustered blooms in summer, and the richly coloured branches look great in the winter.
Hardy Roses Tender Roses Fruits
The hardy Explorer roses are excellent performers, and 'John Davis' is one of the best in the series, with profuse numbers of fragrant, semi-double, medium-pink blooms from June through frost. Carefree Wonder is a showy, award-winning shrub hardy to Zone 4. It has double, medium pink blooms with light pink undersides and a light fragrance. It blooms June to frost and grows 1 m high & wide. The 'Evans' cherry is a self-pollinating, sour cherry discovered in Alberta. It produces huge harvests of bright red, 2-3 cm, sweet-tart fruit in late July/early August. The fruit is excellent for fresh eating, pies and winemaking.

Vegetables Bulbs Herbs
'Bon Vivant' Lettuce is a beautiful mix of salad greens in a full range of colours and textures. Includes deep red, bronze and light- to deep-green lettuce. Can be eaten when only a few inches tall up to full size. Each 'Lord Lieutenant' anemone bulb produces a handful of big, vividly coloured, poppy-like semi-double blooms, most with gorgeous black centres. These bulbs are perfect for borders, beds or woodland gardens. Bring your cooking to a new level by preparing and artfully presenting these simple and tasty dishes using hops, nasturtiums and lavender.
