Grass - Northern Sea Oats

The Grass 'Northern Sea Oats', Chasmanthium latifolium, is upright and arching. It is treasured for its showy, dropping flowers and slender, bamboo-like foliage that changes from green, to copper, to rich brown. It self-sows freely; deadhead if you do not want volunteer seedlings next season. Magnificent for winter contrast, it flourishes in contianers or even in a shady, damp site -- including coastal areas. Pest and disease free. ... more information

 

Gaillardia - Kobold The Gaillardia ‘Kobold Blanket Flower’, Gaillardia x Goblin, has wonderful blooms that are red, orange and bright yellow, and are almost daisy like. The foliage is a gray-green almost basil like. ‘Kobold’ blooms from early June through fall with a plant height of 12” and a width of 10-12”. It is a major attractor to bees, butterflies, birds and resistant to rabbits and deer. Gaillardia will do best in soil that is not too fertile and should not be over watered. For the perfect site, try planting in sunny borders, dry or windy sites, in mass plantings or in containers.
