Five Leaf Akebia
Akebia quinata "The Chocolate Vine, `Akebia quinata,' is a twining, woody vine that can also be used as a nice groundcover. It will easily grow to the size of its support structure, and sometimes reaches up to forty feet in height. Its stems are divided into five or fewer, and small stems will meet in a central zone. This vine is deciduous in cooler climates, but will remain evergreen in warmer locations. It should be planted in full sun in optimal soil texture for best results. This is a very rapid grower that will need to be cut back throughout the season, and cut to the ground at the end of the summer." Your Price: $15.45 Prev | Vines Index | Next |

The Lily 'Stargazer', 'Lilium Oriental Hybrid', a fall planted bulb, is the most popular of all oriental lilies because of it's fragrance, red and white flowers, and long lasting vase life. Oriental hybrid lilies, known as the most flamboyant personalities within the world of lilies, are characterized by their immense flowers, at least 6" across. The elegant flowers, with their gracefully recurved petals, have an intense fragrance and rich colors. Oriental Lilies are very long-lived in the garden and will multiply over the years, if left undisturbed. They attract butterflies and hummingbirds.
The Royal Fern, `Osmunda regalis,' is a tall, deciduous fern that grows naturally on moist bluffs and ledges along streams, and is sometimes found growing in the water. The broad fronds feature large, separated leaflets that give this fern an almost pea-family appearance. Its spores are located in brown, tassel-like, fertile clusters on the tips of the fronds. This gives the plant the additional common name of flowering fern. This plant will also grow nicely in shaded borders, woodland gardens and native or wild plant gardens.
The Begonia Pendula Red, `Begonia Pendula Red,' displays multitudes of beautiful red flowers. This spring planted tuber has much smaller flowers than upright begonias, and also requires more water. Sometimes called basket begonias, Pendula makes up in numbers what the flowers lack in size. Light fertilization applied weekly will assist in maintaining healthy, vibrant blooms. Daily watering should be applied in warm weather, as they should never be allowed to dry out.
