Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight' PP#12,874. Just $7.97 in #1 containers.

Opens with a green tinge on the white flower panicles. These are the kinds of hydrangeas I grew in Oklahoma City because I don't have that much shade or patience for the pink/blue/purple Bigleaf Hydrangeas to get them to grow and bloom for me. If your hydrangeas have stopped blooming or changed color, you probably have Bigleafs. Panicle Hydrangeas love full sun and summer. Hardy zone 3-9.

Hydrangea paniculata 'Unique' $7.97.

The antiquey color of the faded blooms is part of why folks love the Paniculatas for dried flowers. They bloom on new wood, so it doesn't matter what time of year you are cutting on these type of Hydrangeas, they'll still pump out flowers that summer. This Unique variety has both sterile (large) and pollen blooms.

Groundcovers all $7.97. Choose from:

Creeping phlox, Phlox subalata 'Emerald Blue', 'Ft. Hill'

Blue flowering Ajuga 'Black Scallop'
