The company seeks out the finest genetics available from the world’s premier breeders, and also offers exclusive selections like Calamagrostis x acutiflora ‘Hello Spring!’, Miscanthus sinensis ‘Little Miss’, Miscanthus sinensis ‘Fat Cat’, Miscanthus sinensis ‘Scout’, Muhlenbergia ‘Fast Forward™’; Panicum ‘Hot Rod’; Stokesia ‘Divinity’; and Andropogon ‘Rain Dance’.

Some of their newest favorites include:

Echinacea ‘Tweety’ PP28952, which brightens any spot with its large, golden yellow flowers and compact habit. It grows to 8 inches tall and 6 inches wide. ‘Tweety’ stands out for its excellent pot performance but also excels in gardens and combinations. It prefers sandy, well-drained soil and full sun. ‘Tweety’ blooms from early summer to fall and is hardy to Zone 4.

Hosta ‘Dancing Darling’ PPAF, with unique yellow-golden curled foliage with green edges. Plant ‘Dancing Darling’ in a moist, cool, humus-rich and well-drained soil. It prefers sun to shade. ‘Dancing Darling’ reaches 15-20 inches tall and 24 inches wide. This fast growing Hosta is excellent as a specimen plant, for mixed containers, in mass plantings or in borders.

A petite new addition to the popular SunSparkler® Sedum series, ‘Angelina’s Teacup’ PPAF is a mini of Sedum ‘Angelina’. As the smallest SunSparkler and the first non-blooming ‘Angelina,’ it forms a tight groundcover just 3 inches tall and 18 inches wide. Its bright yellow foliage lasts into fall, when cool temperatures bring on a blush of orange. ‘Angelina’s Teacup’ prefers full sun and is hardy in Zones 3 to 9.
