A sport of the famous 'Limerock Ruby' and like it, a vigorous grower but tricky to get to over winter in colder zones.  You will see this listed as a form of C. rosea but according to B. of B., 'Limerock Ruby' and thus it's offspring, are of unknown parentage, not true cultivars of C. rosea and thus not hardy as pure C. rosea cultivars.   However, they are astounding colors, bloom from July until Frost -- just blooming machines.  They just won't overwinter in colder zones 4&5 where Coreopsis rosea (and its cultivars will.)

Crocosmia 'Distant Planet'         Montbretia       Zone: 5-9        

Crocosmia 'Distant Planet' A PROFUSE display of orange-red flowers from a seedling that appeared at former Seneca Hills Perennials.  Per owner Ellen Hornig, "If you're looking for a gorgeous and indestructible northern-hardy orange crocosmia, seek no more. This plant is unstoppable here. It started years ago as a seedling, from a source never recorded and long since forgotten, and it has spread and spread. It blooms freely, in a very bright orange, and the flowers are beautifully flared."  Sometimes I try to paraphrase and sometimes I know I won't do the plant justice if I do!  Such is the case here.  I will mention, it's HARDIER than most - confirmed by famed garden writer Graham Rice in an article about this plant in The Transatlantic Gardener.

Cryptotaenia japonica 'Autropurpurea'    Purple Leaf Japanese Parsley    Zone: 4-9     

Cryptotaenia japonica 'Autropurpurea'A wonderful fairly new ornamental grown primarily for its lovely dark maroon foliage. A great companion to gold or blue Hostas or grasses. Exotic, clump-forming plant. Leaves are edible. Great garnish. Short lived but self-seeds. To control seeding, trim away most of the insignificant pink blooms before they turn to seed, leaving a few. This plant is a knockout and worth dealing with the seeding.

  Hardy Cyclamen -- are bulbs!

In spring, they are starting to go summer dormant, losing foliage and feeder roots, which will return in Fall.  We strongly recommend if yours arrive dormant that you plant them in well-drained soil and leave them alone.  Watering dormant plants in pots is somewhere between a skill and an art - and not so easy.  Put them in we'll drained soil, where they actually like 'root competition' from trees and let Mother Nature do the watering.  They need no extra water when dormant.  Note, they like root competition, even from a maple tree BUT they don't like foliage competition, so don't let their neighbors crowd them.

PRICING- - Plants are priced by Leaf/Bloom Color and Age/Size)  -- More sought after coloration and/or  larger/older bulbs are more expensive.

Cyclamen graecum             Greek Cyclamen                                        Zone:  (7)8-9

Cyclamen graecum   Greek CyclamenNot especially hardy BUT if you're in a warm zone with scree, rock garden or superb drainage or are skilled at pot culture (dry when dormant), this sun-loving species, hailing from Greece, has the most beautiful foliage of the Genus and extremely elegant flowers, opening in early Fall.  By in large pink, there is the occasional white.  The foliage is highly variable, almost like velvet when it unfurls with striking silver or pewter marking.  Moore (1996) says "...the basic colour is dark green, though all shades from black/green through grey/green to lime green can be found. The leaf pattern is usually contrasting blotches or bands of cream, green, grey or silver. The combinations are so numerous that a collection of different leaf forms could be a study in itself."   Will take frost IF the tuber is buried deeply.  They appreciate decayed pine needles!  They do not like over-potting, so repot when the bulb really needs to get out of the pot!

Cyclamen graecum,  silver/pewter foliage As above but with predominantly silver/pewter leaves.  There's such amazing variety to C. graecum leaves but these have distinctly more silver than green.  Not all silver, they have the distinctive beautiful pattern but significantly more silver than green.  If growing in a pot, they shouldn't be repotted until they touch the sides of the pot.   Will take frost IF the tuber is buried deeply, so for very warm areas or pots where it appreciates decayed pine needles!
