Dianthus gratianopolitanus 'Firewitch'

I love this carnation relative called "Cheddar pinks" - each single hot-pink flower is less than 6" tall over 3" mounding silver-blue needle foliage. Snip off flowers for tiny cuts to bring inside (beautiful clove scent! Try 5 flowers in a shot glass in the bathroom) or once faded in the garden for reblooming.

We grow our plants so we have been so busy since closing up shop this spring, potting up and propagating. Our next event plant sale won't be until the fall. This is a one-time summer flash sale because it's likely to be in the 80s after the rain. WOO!! Bring a hat in case it's not overcast when you arrive. I can't be outside all day in this heat but my plants sure can. Come early to get your pick.

Stachys byzantina
Stachys byzantina

Lambs' Ears, Stachys byzantina.

For a decade I've used this insanely resilient Mediterranean plant to start new garden beds by digging it up whenever I feel like it and dropping a shovelful in a new spot where I peeled back the grass. Then after a season, I pull back the lambs ears -- which have mostly held back the crabgrass, Bermuda grass, and rand-O seedlings -- and sow seeds or transplant into the prepared area. Mostly spread by rhizomes, expect some seedlings too.

Hosta 'Wide Brim'

Hosta Girl Summer

Y'all. The hosta I had this spring flew out of here. So they are back with wider variety trialing which love it here with me in Oklahoma City the most... By growing them outside in this extreme summer.

Hosta 'Blue Cadet'

Hosta 'Blue Mouse Ears'

Hosta 'August Moon'

Hosta 'June'

Hosta 'So Sweet' -- Hosta 'August Moon' -- Hosta 'Francee' -- Hosta 'June'

Hosta 'So Sweet' thrives here in the south or north side of the house, look at the coloring even in our intense 106 degree + heat. All four of the above Hosta photos were taken July 25, 2022 here in OKC. Hosta are perennial and come back bigger each year. Hosta do well in foundation plantings, under trees, or anywhere with shade and moisture. These are 4-8 weeks in their pots getting ready for fall.

Let these dear hearts grow on in their pots -- they've got slow release fertilizer -- this season and transplant once it's cooled off.

If you must plant in the summer, that's OK I do it too. Plant in part shade and provide cover for a few more weeks of hot hosta summer. What kind of cover? How about a laundry basket as a temporary shade until September and then you can plant strawberries and sweet potatoes in it next year!

#1 Nectar plant: Fringe tree $7.97

Fringe tree, Chionanthus virginicus

Chionanthus virginicus Fringe tree.

These native nectar trees are wonderful and the best tree to plant in a small garden to increase the available nectar for honeybees and native pollinators. "Grampy Grey Beard" fringe tree has white flower clusters, listen close to hear the buzzing of insects enjoying the blooms throughout the summer. Our treelings in #1 3-quart pots growing as single or multi-stemmed trees will be a small specimen tree for a few years before beginning to provide cooling shade to your garden. Tolerate of clay soil, so a good choice for planting in the lawn.

Daylilies

Daylilies are hybrids from Hemerocallis fulva, orange lily, and have Lirope-like "sword" foliage.

Called the "Perfect Perennial" for use in unattended landscapes.

This Mini Pearl daylily flowered yesterday in its full sun spot on the south side of my house in a #1 trade gallon (3-quart) pot. The picture is beautiful but in person these are spectacular.

Daylilies do well in sun, even the south side of the house, but have you tried them in shade, too? I grow several varieties of pink, peach, apricot, red, and yellow colored daylilies. Don't cut on these - each flower opens for only about a day, so there is frequently a new bloom every day for months. $7.97, choose from:
Hemerocallis Apricot Sparkles
Ruffled Apricot
Mini Pearl
Stella D'Oro
Buttered Popcorn
Chicago Arnie's Choice
Strutter's Ball
Pardon Me
Ruby Stella
Rosa Bellini
South Seas
Country Uncle
Hall's Pink
