Freesia Double Mixed Colors The Fragrant Double Freesia Mix, 'Iridaceae Mixed', produces a rainbow mixture of fragrant bell-shaped flowers in a wide range of colors: reds, yellows, oranges, whites and lavender. They are simply charming! The leaves are sword shaped and light green and may be up to 1. 5 feet high. Flower stalks are slender and about the same height. As many as 8 funnel-shaped flowers form a loose cluster at the top of each stalk. Where the flowers begin, the stem makes a sharp bend so that the flowers face upward. This mix is hardy in zones 8-10.
Peony Tree Shimane Island Collection The Shimane Island Tree Peony Collection, 'Paeonia', contains 3 plants, 1 each of High Noon, Koukamon, & Shima-nishiki. There was a time, many years ago in ancient China, when the only person who could own a tree peony was the Emperor himself. Fortunately for us, tree peonies are now slightly more available. A mature plant can have in excess of a hundred flowers and these can be 10" or more across! The flowers range in color from maroon, crimson, scarlet, various shades of pink, to pure white. While the tree peony originated in China, it had found its way to Japan by the 8th Century AD. Growing only 4-5' tall, these exceptional Tree Peonies are sub-zero hardy and bloom for a lifetime.
