Perennials & Vines

Our perennial and vine selection changes seasonally. A few of our current favorites are trouble-free mainstays such as the following:

Black Scallop Ajuga: we love this low groundcover with glossy black leaves.

Lily-of-the-Nile: a top-rated perennial with blue summer blooms like fireworks. We stock blue specimens and 'Ella Mae' cultivars, as well as the diminuative and variegated 'Tinkerbell'.  

Cannas: still another top-rated popular perennial. An old-fashioned favorite with a great tropical feel that is great around pools.

African Irises, both Fortnight Lily and Butterfly Iris: two reliable and easy to grow perennials with a long bloom cycle. They often have flowers from spring into fall. When people ask us to identify a unique flower that they saw, it often turns out to be Fortnight Lily!

Ribbon grass: a nursery favorite, this grass has pastel green leaves with pink striping. We stock the variety 'Wood's Dwarf'. Unusual. Used in the WPA Gardens in William Land Park.
