HUGE $7.97 PLANT SALE

Root Shrubs, 18804 County Road 651, Memphis, MO 63555.

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'
sold out thank you Mountain sedge, Carex appalachica
sold out thank you New Zealand orange sedge, Carex testacea

No fear because this ad will print out if you are old school like me or you can screenshot and circle what you want on the edit photo app.

Just use a bright color marker or pen color so I don't get all discombobulated finding the plants you want.

Honeybells Buttonbush, Cephalanthus occidentalis

Five Reasons Why Buttonbush Is The Native Shrub To Plant:

You can plant it in a low place. or in standing water but doesn’t require that.

You can neglect it a bit even in drought.

You can plant it in clay.

If it gets bigger than you want you can limb it up into a small tree and plant under it.

The flowers are compound in a globe so boasts the most bee food per square inch.

They thicket.

$7.97 Each.

Stella D'Oro Gold Star Rounded Daylilies do well in sun, even the south side of the house, but have you tried them in part sun to part shade, too? 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 each in #1 containers.

Daylilies are edible and carefree.

Phone number?? Hey, no, I can't do phones when I'm working with plants, it's too busy or hot or wet. Please don't message me about plants. Is that crazy to say, well that's me, I like talking to people about plants in person. I know you can order everything on your fancy phone, but not these plants, they are here at the house. These plants are looking great and not picked over. What are you waiting for? Go get mom in the car too because she's needing more shrubs since fall is the perfect time to plant and get over here while everything is $7.97 each: flowering perennials, shrubs, trees, and dahlias.
