One
of England's premier plantswomen, Beth Chatto, favors this decidedly
blue form of Calamint and we're pleased to offer it this
season. It has the same height, good looks and determined
habits as the following, White Cloud but with blue blooms ALL
SUMMER that seem much larger to us than the species. Long
blooming.
An much improved form of the species with dark green foliage and large, dark lavender flowers as opposed to the pale lavender of the species.. Virtually unavailable in the trade, it's so new in 2004. Very floriferous according to Trials at the
University of Georgia.
Profuse
clouds of large, PURE WHITE thyme-like blooms arise ALL SUMMER from
a mass of mint-scented, hairy leaves. Use in the foreground in a
sunny, well-drained spot. Striking in the herb garden but pretty
enough for any perennial bed. Soft white cloud of flowers w/ gray-green foliage effect takes a couple of years to establish but
is finally magnificent. 
AKA Calamintha nepeta subsp nepeta.
A variant larger in all its parts than the species C. nepeta as well as more robust. A beautiful airy plant, much like a big baby's breath. Blends with almost any plant, so it's easy to place. 
Striking,
2 1/2" sparkling white, cup-shaped flowers borne on low-growing
lobed greenish-grey pleated foliage. Thrive in hot, dry sites.
Excellent in rock garden, border, or wildflower garden. Very drought
tolerant. Attractive to butterflies. Native to the Great Plains. A
wide spreading plant, it plays nice w/ the other plants then shrinks
back in Fall. Butterfly Host Plant. 
Low
growing cut-leaf native. 1-2" purple or magenta, cup-shaped flowers
w/ white eye, long blooming, DROUGHT RESISTANT. Rambling plant w/
few leaves but every day, perfect flowers open that look like wine
goblets. Hardy w/ excellent drainage. Blooms constantly from
July-August.
Plant Select® from Denver Botanical Garden/Colorado
State U. Missouri Botanical Garden 'Great
Plant' selection. We are just wild about this plant!
Butterfly Host Plant. 
The mid-West Native is
great for the person who doesn't have the room it takes to grow
Callirhoe involucrata below or wants a more vertical tower of
blooming power because it doesn't let up from May
through September! Long tap root makes plant drought
tolerant when established but difficult to move successfully, so
plant it where you want it to stay. Bluish white, thin,
finger-like foliage and fringed tipped magenta blooms.
Plants tend to 'lean' in soil that's too rich. Plant in the
most pathetic well-drained spot in your garden where next to nothing
will grow, don't fertilize and it will be mucho happy! Well
does it sound near perfect? Okay, the downside -- deer and
rabbits do like it so it's not quite perfect but it doesn't seem to
mind the rabbits eating the lower foliage. With deer eating
the upper foliage, it's another matter.
An
herbaceous perennial in the Buttercup family Native to marshes, wet
woodlands and ditches. 1-2" shiny, golden yellow flowers can have
4-9 petals, but generally have 5 from early spring to late summer.
Best flowering usually occurs in full sun, but plants appreciate
some part shade in the heat of the summer, especially in warm zones
where the can go summer dormant if they stay consistently hot.
While greens and blooms can be COOKED and eaten, the plant itself is
poisonous and can cause rashes for some people.
A
rare plant that will grow beneath a Black Walnut tree among other
places. It's a native of western North American that grows in
moist meadows. A bulb that makes a good fresh cut flower. Like
most bulbs, better in mass but a good multiplier so you don't need
to buy the 'mass' -- if you plant it "they will come".
Grassy 1" wide foliage produces a terminal spike of 20-80 star
shaped flowers per spike. Blue blooms with yellow stamens.
Takes clay, dry or wet soil.
Strap-like
leaves reach up to 2 feet in length. Its light blue-violet to white
flowers begin to bloom from the bottom, progressing toward the top
of the spike-like raceme at the end of the plant’s central stalk. By
mid-summer, the basal leaves turn yellow and wither away and the
plant remains dormant for the rest of the year. A lovely
Native bulb that's pretty much indifferent to soil which is quite
handy! Good multiplier.
A
favorite of Plantsman Graham Stuart Thomas who described it as a
"picture of poise and beauty'. A strong growing
but clump-forming bellflower with masses of stems smothered with 2"
creamy white bells from top to bottom. The nodding flowers
have prominent calyxes which pair beautifully with the heart shaped
foliage. A Stunner! Native to
Bellflowers
(the Latin for bell is campana) are easily grown and much loved for
their charming blossoms. 'Joan Elliott' is a long-blooming,
floriferous variety of the Clustered Bellflowers with a tidy,
mounding habit. Suitable for cut flower arrangements. Will tolerate
full or part sun. 
Great
branching heads of gray-mauve-pink tubular flowers throughout the
summer. Free-flowering, long-blooming & a color that goes with
just about everything! It's upright growing habit w/frothy flower
heads looks gorgeous w/ roses. Flowers June & July, then on and
off until frost. New for 2002 & on In-the-Know Gardener's Wish
Lists. This plant is AWESOME! 
Gorgeous with roses, this
strong blue variety seems to stand without staking better than
others. Big enough to hold it's own with shrubs. Narrow oval green
leaves. Racemes of bell-shaped amethyst blue flowers. Classic
Cottage Garden Plant. This is new to the trade and we KNOW it's going
to be a hit. 
A
replacement and improvement over Campanula 'Kelly's Gold'.
"Brilliant gold foliage gives rise to large 1" bells of
deep-blue flowers. Another breeding breakthrough from Terra
Nova Nurseries. A new flower color plus more vigor than C.
'Kelly's Gold'," Terra Nova.
Strong growing dwarf Bellflower with a long blooming
period. Large, pale blue bells from June thru September. This
''Dalmatian' Bellflower is a much tidier grower than the species but
still a strong grower. Great in the rock garden or front of the
border. 
If
you want a star-shaped campanula, this is it. Charming and not
invasive. One of the best "Bellflowers". Beautiful under gold Hostas
or next to Chrysogonum (Green & Gold). One of our absolute
favorite plants. A sweet, charming little front of the border
plant. 
A
vigorous, clumping perennial from Japan with stiff upright stems
bearing three inch long tubular red bells. It's so beautiful that
you'll want to make room for it. Very new in the U.S. from Terra
Nova. Strong
upright habit and a spreader/mixer with other perennials. One of the
best campanulas on the market if you have a little room.
It is a very strong grower and needs to be kept in check.
A
compact selection, perfect for edges of the bed or containers. Both
foliage and stems are flushed with maroon red and a great 'color
echo' for the big, chubby wine red bell flowers. Vigorous
spreader. Site appropriately. Very cold hardy, so will
live in containers outside in Zones 6-9
Extremely FRAGRANT, deep violet blue 1" up facing cup-shaped blooms
above a lush mat of foliage provides a gorgeous display for weeks.
Perfect as an edge, mass plant for a slow but weed smothering
groundcover and as part of a mixed container. Dark green
deciduous heart shaped foliage. Deadheading immediately after
blooms results in a 2nd bloom. It is longer blooming and a
better groundcover than other low Campanulas. It is more spreading
than C. 'Royal Wave'.
This flower is AMAZING.
Something totally different! Lacy white Chinese lanterns pop & recurve over this stunning import from Dan Hinkley who named it for the daughter of Song Ki-hun's, his friend from Chollipo Arboretum in S. Korea. Vigorous roots, but not too overwhelming. Distinctive, thick, cut foliage as well." Terra Nova. Does especially well in the South. Well-behaved for this species;
clump-former instead of a conqueror. Attracts hummingbirds and
is a great cut flower. 
A
cultivar of Campanula with a profusion of large drooping, tubular
pale pink blooms to 1-2" long on 18-24" stems. Prefers part
shade in very hot areas, especially where nights average above 70.
The shady soil is cooler at night. An absolutely gorgeous
Bellflower blooming for 6-7 weeks if deadheaded and needs to be well
fertilized to produce this wealth of blooms. First appeared in
the nursery of Elizabeth Strangeman in Kent England. A strong
grower it may need some curbing to keep it where you want it but not
a bully like C. punctata!
An
exotic new hybrid from Terra Nova with pink spidery blooms with
recurved petals and a
compact, mounding habit for a groundcover Campanula, but it it not
nearly so spreading as C. punctata. Japanese lantern
buds open to striking pink, octopus-lie blooms which weep down from
the upright branches. Strong, deeply cut foliage. Blooms
for 4-6 weeks.
"The
longest blooming Campanula we've ever seen. 'Summertime Blues' has
masses of large, silver blue bells on 2 foot, upright stems… all
spring, summer and fall! Clumping habit. Doesn't spread or reseed." Terra Nova
Full sun best. This is an astounding, amazing Campanula for
shear all summer bloom power!
TN.jpg){kind=small}
From
many parts of Europe. Bitter-cresses are often though of
as small insignificant weeds! But not in the case of this
charmer reaching 12" and with fairly large, showy white flowers with
blackish violet anthers. Found in the wild along streamsides and
fens and prefers acid, peaty soil. Can even be found in
trickling water. Frequently the dominant ground foliage in
alder woods with damp soil. A delightful little groundcover
for a damp spot. It stays green throughout the winter so it is
ready to flower early the following spring. Rarely sets
seed but spreads underground. Grows on every continent but
Antarctica! It's a host plant for several moths. Hardy
to zone 5 but not sure what the upper heat limit is. As of
7/19/12, we're the only people selling it! Can be added to
salads in small amounts - has a hot/peppery cress like flavor.
A
Native often found growing in large groups in rich, moist, but often
shallow soil, sometimes just some humus and moss on rocks.
Lovely white 4 petaled flowers in Spring. Native from Quebec
to Florida. Very cut, toothed leaves. White
blooms may have a hint of pink are larger than most in the genus. Host
plant for the Falcate Orange Tip Butterfly Caterpillar.
Sadly, this charming little spring ephemeral is rarely seen in
cultivation, even, though it's easy to grow once established.
Beautiful w/ Solomon Seal & Trillium. Forms small colonies from
seedlings. Like many spring woodland plants, goes dormant, so plant
it among something that you won't disturb. Host plant for the
Falcate Orange Tip Butterfly Caterpillar.
From
Europe, a charming, polite but dense EVERGREEN groundcover, happy in
part to full shade, with substantial dark green leaves. In
summer has pure white sprays of flowers on slender stems.
A Great Plant Picks Selection. Host plant for the Falcate Orange Tip
Butterfly Caterpillar.
Small
yellowish-green flowers in early Spring. Lovely dissected bluish
foliage with dark blue/almost black stems when they emerge in
spring. Woodland conditions suit this native of half of the United
States! A truly handsome 3 season shrub. All parts of the plant are
covered w/ a silvery blue waxy 'bloom'.
