Jasminum parkeri   Jasmine, Dwarf Hardy        Zone: 5-9              

A prostrate, evergreen, shrubby little species (growing only 12 inches tall) from NW India & the Himalayas. Yellow flowers emerge from the tiny foliage. Hardy. Needs very well-drained soil; avoid a winter-wet spot. Rare.  This is one of the most eye catching plants in our rock garden, planted next to Ephedra minima, the two textures together are stunning.  Atypical Roots because this plant is very diminuitive the first year.

Some years ago, when we quite growing and selling Tender Perennials, we found ourselves unable to part with 'Maid of Orleans'.  Even though it's not hardy in much of the country and supposed to be evergreen, in fact, it is hardier than some report.  In Zone 8 and 9, it dies back to the ground but will survive outside according to Floridata.  But even if you can't grow it outside, you should consider growing it inside where it never stops blooming and the sweet smelling flowers actually seem to clean the air with it's fragrance which is truly unrivaled in all of nature!  Can be grown in a pot and kept pruned.

Soil: Well-drained     H: 4-5'   W:        B/M:   White/All summer

Jeffersonia diphylla   Twinleaf    Zone: 4-8      

One of our most lovely Native plants.  Named after 'our own' Thomas Jefferson.  At first glance, the plant appears to have 2 twin leaves but, actually it's just one (diphylla means two-parted leaf).  It's among the earliest to grace the woodland garden floor.  Similar to but more stately than Bloodroot which blooms at the same time.  Delicate but large white blooms 1" across.  Takes a wide range of pH but prefers limey.

Soil:  Well-drained, woodland   H: 8-16"  W: 6-12"      B/M:  White/ Early spring

Kalimeris incisa     Cutleaf Japanese False Aster    Zone: 4-9

Kalimeris incisa 'Blue Star'     Cutleaf Japanese False Aster    Zone: 4-9

Kalimeris integrifolia   Asian/Japanese False Aster      Zone:5-9         

Like most Kalimeris, this is just super easy to grow.  It loves heat and humidity but deals with drought just as well.  1" white daisy-like blooms appear all summer over a compact mound of green.  Definitely an asset to the Butterfly garden!

Kirengeshoma palmatum    Japanese Yellow Waxbells      Zone: 4-8  

A large Japanese plant with maple-shaped leaves to 8" across & sprays of cool yellow flowers, it belongs to the Hydrangea family. A semi-shaded location w/ moist, rich, acid soil suit it best.  Beautiful yellow bloom with heavily textured petals when nothing is happening in the shade garden, which makes it even more valuable.

Kirengeshoma koreana     Japanese Yellow Waxbells      Zone: 4-8     

Much discussion in the horticulture world over the classification of this lovely.  Some say it's a subspecies of K. palmatum, others, particularly in Europe list it as K. palmatum Koreana Group.  Whatever the name (we go along with MOBOT), it's as above but occasionally somewhat larger with more outfacing blooms rather than hanging blooms.  Both this and the above are just lovely -- it's more a matter of taste -- hanging or outfacing blooms and possibly size.

Soil: Moist, rich acidic      H: 36-48"  W: 36-48"       B/M: Yellow/ 7-8

Knautia macedonica    Knautia      Zone: 5-9     

Domed clusters of tiny wine-red flowers which appear to hover above the soft green foliage on wiry, 24-30" stems. They give the effect of daubs of rich red suspended in air. The silver stamens look like pins in a pincushion. Heads are prized in dry arrangements. Deadhead. 

Soil: Well-drained, neutral     H: 24-36"   W: 15"    B/M: Wine-red/ 6-10

Kniphofia thompsonii v. snowdenii     Red Hot Poker      Zone: (6)7-9    

A hardy, rhizomatous member of the lily family. Soft coral flowers spikes on 3-4' stems is really stunning. In a few short years, the clump will be good size & loaded with long lasting blooms that are great for flower arrangements. A much different, 'un-poker' like bloom. The waxy, tubular florets are widely-spaced on the flower stalk.  Looks more like a giant Lachenalia or at least a relative!  A native of Kenya.
