Astilbe - Bridal Veil
The Astilbe ‘Bridal Veil’, Astilbe arendsii, is a colorful feathery flower with white blooms and lacy deep green on bronze-green foliage. The flowers contrast wonderfully with its dark green glossy foliage. Astilbe ‘Bridal Veil’ blooms in mid summer and is 28-30” tall and a plant width of 36”. Do not allow Astilbe ‘Bridal Veil’ to dry out. It is most successfully grown in a shady area but can tolerate some morning sun. A moist, well-drained area is key for this plant. In order to keep Astilbe looking good for the next year, do not cut it back in the winter, (the old foliage helps protect the plant from winter damage), but prune in early spring. Astilbe can be used as cut flowers, perennial borders or shade gardens with Hosta’s and Ferns. Astilbe is considered to be deer resistant and will attract hummingbirds. ... more
Coral Bells - Amber Waves The Heuchera 'Amber Waves', Heuchera micrantha, also known as Coral Bells and Alumroot, is a gold leaf coral bells! After years of waiting, the folks at Terra Nova have produced one of the most unique coral bells that we have ever grown. Heuchera 'Amber Waves', which won the "Best New Plant" Award for 2001 at the largest UK nursery trade show, emerges with heavily ruffled golden new foliage that changes to a burnished orange as the leaves age, echoing the fall coloration of leaves on the trees. The light rose flowers that top the plant in spring create quite a stirring combination with the foliage. You will be dazzled by this new introduction and a winner of several European awards. From Dan Heims' prolific breeding program, the light rose colored flowers definitely play second fiddle to the stunning, ruffled, amber gold foliage. |
