Its large, four-petaled flowers, solitary from leaf axils, range in color from dark pink to white. Nodding buds, opening into pink or white flowers, are in the upper leaf axils on slender, downy stems. The delicate-textured, cup-shaped blossoms are lined with pink or red veins. Foliage is usually linear and pinnate, although leaves can be entire and lance-shaped depending on locality. A hardy and drought resistant species that can form colonies of considerable size. The flowers may be as small as 1 (2.5 cm) wide under drought conditions. The plant is frequently grown in gardens and escapes from cultivation. As the common name implies, most of these species also open their flowers in the evening, closing them again early each morning. The flowers of some members of the genus open in the evening so rapidly that the movement can almost be observed. Pink evening primrose, however, opens its flowers in the morning, closing each evening. To further complicate matters, populations in north Texas tend to open in the evening. - | Plants |  (georgewms) |

The peony has been cultivated in China for more than 2,000 years and was introduced to the United States in the early 19th century. Unlike other plants packed by American settlers for the journey across the continent, many peonies, which have thick, tuberous roots, survived the trip west?some of these thrive in gardens to this day. Peonies are a mainstay of Martha's Turkey Hill garden in spring. symbolism: In China, a peony in full bloom symbolizes good fortune, prosperity, and happiness. general maintenance: In spring, install a peony ring to support large-flowered cultivars before shoots reach 8 inches. Deadhead spent flowers. After frost, cut foliage to the ground and remove. pests/diseases:Peony gray mold blight also called peony wilt, may occur. controls: Good sanitation is the best protection against gray mold. Remove infected foliage (soft brown areas at the base of stems), and cut down and remove all foliage in fall to avoid overwintering disease. how to sow/plant: Plant in fall after weather cools, at least 6 weeks before frost. Choose a sunny site with well-drained soil, and amend with well-rotted manure or compost. Space plants 3–4 feet apart, and always set roots with eyes (growing points) facing up. Set roots 2 inches below soil surface. Water, and mulch to conserve moisture. water and fertilize: Monitor soil moisture all season, watering regularly. Ensure good drainage, because excess soil moisture can cause roots to rot. After plant blooms, feed with an all-purpose fertilizer, following label directions. garden hint: The most common reasons peonies don't bloom are too little sun, too much nitrogen fertilizer, and roots planted too deep. features: Attractive Flowers Attractive Foliage Deer Resistant Fragrant Frost Tolerant garden uses:Edging Flowerbed borders other uses:Cut Flower combine with:foxglove cranesbill Siberian iris and Oriental poppy or underplant with low ground covers like bugleweed or speedwell - | 'Edulis Superba' | Plants | (PlantFiles) |

| Penstemon Penstemon digitalis - 7/25/2009 Home Depot $5.00 - back corner - 7/25/2009 planted - 1996 Perennial Plant of the Year - Penstemon digitalis 'Husker Red' Common Name: Beardtongue, Penstemon, 1996 Perennial Plant Association Plant of the Year! Striking, maroon-red foliage with a dark green underlay distinguishes this Penstemon from the other cultivars. White flowers with a tinge of light pink are borne on strong, upright stems in early summer. Penstemons are very drought tolerant perennials that are easy to grow and are rarely bothered by insects or diseases. Plant them in full sun and watch as hummingbirds feast on their delicious nectar. Origin: Native Cultivar HARDINESS Zones 3-8 LIGHT Full sun preferred. Tolerates light shade. SOIL Well-drained garden soil. It prefers a slightly acidic soil. Performs well in dry soil. USES Accent plant, massed in borders, or as a specimen. UNIQUE QUALITIES Rich bronze-red foliage accents the 30-inch tall plants providing a rich contrast to the striking masses of white, airy flower stalks. It is also a good cut flower. PLANTING INFORMATION Plant at the same depth as they were in the pots. These can be planted anytime from late spring until about a month before a hard, killing frost. PROPAGATION Propagate either by division or vegetative cuttings. Seedlings vary in height, flower number and leave color from green to typical bronze-red. - **************************************** Lovely plant - nice color even when not blooming. Last year, I cut the flower stalks back and said 'hummm - looks like these would root." I cut back each stalk so that I had a piece of stem about 3-4" long with two leaves on top and just stuck these around the garden to see what would happen. Out of about 20, I got 6 plants this year and 2 are blooming. I expect I would have more if I had used root hormone and nice little pots with good black dirt. I'll try the suggestion of using the 'non-blooming side shoots' this year. - To propagate by cutting, use the non-blooming side shoots. Lower leaves should be removed and the stem placed in soil. They can be overwintered in a cold frame using this method. Allow some ventilation on more mild days. ***************************** - | 'Husker's Red' | Plants |  (georgewms) |
| Penstemon Penstemon heterophyllus - 6/16/2008 Home Depot $5.00 - back corner - 6/18/2008 planted 6/18/2008 already blooming - General Culture: Easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soils in full sun. Avoid wet, poorly-drained soils. Remove spent flowering racemes to prolong bloom. Plants may be cut back after flowering to improve appearance of the planting. This plant may not be reliably winter hardy in the St. Louis area where it should be planted in a protected location.

| Phlox Phlox divaricata 4 plants for $12.00 Lowe's 4/09 - back garden - planted 4/09 already blooming - Phlox divaricata 'Blue Moon' Common Name Wild Blue Phlox, Woodland Phlox General Description Bearing exceptionally large, full, deep blue flowers, 'Blue Moon' is an outstanding new cultivar of wild blue phlox, a low spring-blooming herbaceous perennial from eastern and central North America. The rounded, five-petaled, sweetly fragrant flowers are borne in open clusters atop upright or splayed stems. Plants creep slowly to form clumps of oval semi-evergreen leaves. Self-sowing often occurs if plants are not deadheaded. Wild blue phlox thrives in moist fertile well drained soil and partial shade. Its countless spring blooms and creeping habit make this an excellent plant for naturalizing in woodland gardens. Remove spent flower stems to improve appearance and prevent self-sown seedlings, which will not be true to name.

| Phlox Species Phlox divaricata subsp. laphamii - 4/2009 Bearden Garden Center 2 plants for $12.00 - back garden - 4/2009 already blooming - The fertile shoots of this native perennial plant are about 1–1½' tall and unbranched, except near the apex where the flowers occur. The central stem of each fertile shoot is green to reddish brown and pubescent to hairy; some of these hairs are sticky-glandular. Occasionally, 1-2 short side stems are produced from the axils of the upper leaves. The opposite leaves of the fertile shoots are up to 3" long and 1" across; they are triangular-lanceolate to lanceolate and pubescent or hairy. The margins of the leaves are smooth and ciliate, while at the base they are sessile or clasp the stem. In addition to the fertile shoots, Woodland Phlox also produces infertile shoots that fail to produce flowers. These infertile shoots have a similar appearance to the fertile shoots, except that their stems are somewhat shorter and their leaves are more rounded at the tips. These infertile shoots tend to be less hairy as well. Each upper stem of the fertile shoots terminates in an unbranched cluster of flowers. Each flower spans about ¾–1" across. It consists of a pale blue-violet or lavender corolla with 5 spreading petals that are fused together at its tubular base, and a hairy green or reddish green calyx with 5 teeth that are long and narrow. The throat of the corolla is very narrow; the stamens with their yellow anthers are inserted within the throat. The spreading petals (or lobes) are narrow toward the throat of the corolla, but become broader toward their tips. The tips of these petals are well-rounded, slightly pointed, or slightly indented; they are never deeply indented or cleft. The pedicel of each flower is rather short and hairy. The blooming period occurs during late spring to early summer and lasts about a month. The floral scent is pleasantly sweet and aromatic. Each flower is replaced by a seed capsule containing several seeds. The root system consists of a taproot and above-ground stolons that establish the infertile shoots. Small clumps of plants are often formed by means of these stolons. - The flowers of Woodland Phlox often have a wonderful fragrance and it is a beautiful plant. Compared to other Phlox spp.(Phloxes), its flowers are more blue-violet and less pink in color. However, there is some variation in the color of the flowers across different areas. Woodland Phlox is readily distinguished from other Phloxes by the shape of its flowers: The lobes (or petals) of the corolla are more narrow toward the center of the flower than at their tips. These swollen tips are well-rounded, slightly pointed, or slightly indented; they are never deeply cleft like Phlox bifida (Sand Phlox). The leaves of Woodland Phlox are usually broader than the leaves of other Phloxes, especially those that prefer sunny areas. This is also one of the few Phlox species with sterile shoots that never produce flowers; instead, they store energy in the roots for the production of next year's fertile shoots and flowers. - | Plants | (PlantFiles) |

| Wild Sweet William Phlox maculata - 6/3/2008 Bearden Garden Center 3 plants for $27.00 - front - back garden - 6/9/2008 planted 6/20/2008 blooms appeared 3/2009 new growth - Phlox maculata Flower Power "Spotted Phlox" BENEFITS Tall Phlox is a "backbone" plant of the sunny perennial border. No garden is complete without one, or preferably several, specimens anchoring the back of a traditional border or the center of an island bed. Spotted Phlox, though slightly shorter than the better-known Phlox paniculata, still fits the bill, with improved plant health and appearance to boot. The bane of many older phlox varieties is powdery mildew. 'Flower Power' offers excellent mildew resistance, so nothing mars its multiple wands of subtly hued flowers rising gracefully over smooth green foliage. From a few yards away, the flowers appear white. But as their light, delicious scent draws you close, they change, chameleon-like, to a pale glistening pink. Close inspection reveals delicate pink flecks on a cool white background. BLOOM SEASON & HABIT Elegantly erect habit, with tall flowers swaying in summer breezes. Bloom begins in July and runs through August. LOCATION Plant in full sun to part shade. USDA Hardiness Zones 5 to 8. AHS Heat Zones 9 to 4. See our Growing Zones page to reference growing zones in your area. SIZE 42 inches tall by 32 inches wide. Plant one plant per square yard, or in clumps of three or more for a dramatic mass effect. CULTURE Plants will be at their best in well-drained soil with lots of organic matter and ample moisture. Allow good air circulation. Phlox maculata usually does not require staking. A hard cutback (about half the plant) will encourage rebloom in autumn. Companion Plants The specific epithet maculata means "spotted," and refers to the attractively mottled stems. All Phlox species are native to North America, but their beauty has made them a garden staple world wide. Good companions include Achillea 'Anthea', Phlox paniculata 'Shortwood', Geranium 'Rozanne' and Coreopsis 'Limerock Ruby'. - | 'Flower Power' | Plants |  (georgewms) |

| Garden Phlox Phlox paniculata - 3/2009 Home Depot 3 roots for $5.00 - back garden - 3/2009 planted 4/2009 new growth appeared - Phlox have always been country garden favourites for their delicious scent and attraction to butterflies and bees. This variety bears fragrant trusses of violet flowers from midsummer to mid-autumn on tall stems with bright green, narrow leaves. This long-flowering perennial will tolerate full sun or partial shade, but like all phlox, does not like soil that dries out in summer. Try it in the middle of a border as part of a deep blues and purple colour scheme. The stems need supporting in spring before the flowers appear. Garden care: Support with bamboo canes, brushwood or ring stakes before the flowers appear. Phlox are greedy plants, so apply a mulch 2-3in deep, of well-rotted garden compost or manure in early spring. Shear off the spent flower stems to prevent re-seeding. If the leaves show signs of powdery mildew, cut down to the ground and dispose of the affected foliage, but do not compost it. Clear away the debris around the plant to reduce the chances of reinfection. Lift and divide clumps in autumn and spring. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, moist soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: July to October Hardiness: fully hardy - | 'Amethyst' | Roots, Tubers and Bulbs | (PlantFiles) |

Flowers are a vivid salmon-carmine red with a darker magenta eye. Strong upright plant Good mildew resistance. One of the best summer phlox. (2-3') Discovered by Mrs June Towe and named after her dog Becky. - Phlox paniculata 'Becky Towe' Garden Phlox 20-28", brighter and better flowers than any other variegated Phlox. Salmony rose flowers with dark magenta eye. Broad golden leaf edges pale to buttery cream at flowering time. Sturdy stems and is relatively compact. Growing & Maintenance Tips: Tall Garden Phlox grows best in rich, moist soil in full sun. It will perform best with bi-monthly fertilizing and consistant moisture levels. Overhead watering should be avoided since some varieties of phlox are susceptible to powdery mildew. This can be avoided by providing air circulation around the plants and by thinning them out periodically. Deadhead to prolong bloom time.

| Garden Phlox Phlox paniculata - 2/009 Sam's Club 10 2 year old roots for $15.00 - front - 2/2009 planted - Variously called Garden Phlox, Summer Phlox, Tall Phlox, Perennial Phlox, Summer Phlox, Autumn Phlox, Panicled Phlox, or Sweet William, P. paniculata is the showiest of the genus, with many cultivars in sundry colors. 'Blue Boy' is purple-blue or lavender with pale (to nearly white) center. 'Blue Boy' grows in our neighbor Sue's front yard in great numbers, as she has been dividing clumps for years. We could get a start of it from her during the next division, but since they're growing right on the other side of the fence from us, we get plenty of enjoyment seeing hers. These attract butterflies & are spectacular for bouquets. The one-inch flowers occur in clusters five or six inches big, & each clump can produce a great many flowers in July & August, with a lesser rebloom possible with deadheading. They have a mild pleasant scent that can sour a bit when the flowers are fading. In fullest bloom they stand a good four feet tall, & clumps easily spread to over a foot width but should be divided by the time they reach a two-foot width. Garden Phloxes were developed from the wildflower native to much of the eastern half of the United States. It was very soon the object of interest in Colonial America as a garden ornamental. These perennials like rich moist well-draining soil, but an old clump can be surprisingly drought tolerant & still perform well. It always does best in full sun, but if it finds itself in partial shade it will still flower fairly nicely. Among the varieties most resistent to mildew are 'Blue Boy' & the white 'David.' In a good location they should not be bothered by powdery mildew at all, but in a spot with poor air circulation or overcrowding or in a region with persisting high humidity, or if grown in company with other plants equally susceptible to mildew (such as beebalms), powdery mildew can become a burdon. A spraying every few weeks of dilute milk (one part skim milk to five parts water) will keep powdery mildew at bay much better than does sulpher or commercial fungicides. But afflicted clumps should probably be moved to an airier location, & foliage clipped entirely to the ground to start over. Mildewed foliage should be burnt or bagged to discard, not composted, as the spoors can survive compost heat. Phloxes sometimes self-seed but don't grow true to the parent & are most often of inferior color. But they are super easy to propogate from cuttings of softwood stems, shoots taken with a bit of root, or leaf nodes taken spring or summer, & even more easily cultivated by dividing the roots in late autumn or early spring. The root so easily regenerates that if you dig up a clump, divide it, & move the phlox elsewhere, it'll almost certainly reappear in the old location too. - | 'Blue Boy' | Roots, Tubers and Bulbs | (PlantFiles) |

| Phlox Phlox paniculata - 4/2008 & 6/9/2008 Pope's 2 x $6.00 $12.00 - back garden & front - 4/2008 planted 6/9/2008 planted 6/2008 blooms appeared on both 4/2009 new growth by - PERENNIAL PLANT OF THE YEAR FOR 2002 Excellent mildew resistance. Pure white blooms. 36-40" tall. - The fragrant, late-summer White Phlox shown on this page is Phlox paniculata 'David.' We never planted it; it was just in the garden, in an area that mostly doesn't get watering. I have divided it on three occasions & planted some of it on the roadside where it flowers way better in full sun in semi-drought conditions. It is in full bloom in August. Once when I dug out & discarded a lot of Vinca minor some while back, I happened also to dig up a perennial's root clump that had died to the ground. I couldn't for the life of me remember what it was, & had a vague recollection it was a daisy I was not fond of. I half planned to put it behind the fence in an ungardened area where I had previously banished excess Feverfew. Instead, what I did with it was sit the uprooted clump under a cherry tree, waffling so much on whether to compost or replant it that I just sort of froze up & did nothing with it at all. The clump sat there on the surface of the ground for many weeks. As spring progressed, that completely bared root clump, callously tossed under the cherry tree, sprang into a bushy presence, seemingly unconcerned about being exposed & dried out most of the time. I still wasn't sure what it was. When it was about a foot tall, all pleasantly green, I took pity on it, & since it was doing awfully well for something with the roots dry, I figured it would do nicely in the low-maintenance roadside garden which has over time become densely planted with sun-loving perennials. Only when it bloomed did I realize it was another 'David.' Even the neglect of failing to get it back in the ground for several weeks couldn't slow it down! 'David' was the 2002 Perennial Plant of the Year, an award given by the Perennial Plant Association for plants best for growers to mass produce. PPA's choices tend to be commonplace but reliably flowerful. David's White Phlox is one of their most sensible honorees, & if they ever start chosing so well every year, the award might someday become as meaningful for gardeners as for commercial growers. The panicals of flowers are quite large, to six inches across, & long-lasting whether in the garden or as cut flowers. One of the drawbacks to phlox is a susceptibility to powdery mildew. 'David' is somewhat resistant & the clumps in our gardens have never exhibited this problem. David was largely a forgotten variety until volunteer workers at the Brandywine Conservancy in Pennsylvania recognized its unique big full whiteness, & brought it to the attention of Mrs. F. M. Mooberry, Horticultural Coordinator at Brandywine, & whose name has got to be one of the coolest names of any bigwig gardener on earth. It was soon in cultivation as a selected variety. Mrs. Mooberry named it for her husband David, though I sort of wish she'd named it Mooberry I like that name so much. It's thought probable that 'David' is directly descended from the very same Phlox which pioneer plant explorer John Bartram gathered, sending some of them to England in 1730. P. paniculata is a native wildflower found along the east coast of North America, & inland to Arkansas & Illinois. Thanks to John Bartram it has been a very long time in cultivation & the varieties are by now almost endless in number. - | 'David' | Plants | (PlantFiles) |
