Obedient Plant - Variegata
The Obedient Plant Physostegia ‘Variegata’, 'Physostegia virginiana', has bright white spiked flowers that are 36” tall and a plant spread of 18-24”. ‘Variegata’ blooms from June to September and the waxy, green leaves have bright white margins that makes this plant a little different from other white blooming perennials. ‘Variegata’ needs a full sun area but will tolerate some afternoon shade, in well-drained soil. ‘Variegata’ is not as aggressive as most other Physostegia. Use ‘Variegata’ in borders, mixed plantings, massed plantings (especially to separate other colors), in large containers or as cut flowers. Try darker colors such Hemerocallis ‘Little Business’, Platycodon ‘Balloon Flower’ or Veronica ‘Royal Candles’ as a contrast. ... more info
Grass - Golden Toupee Fescue The Grass 'Golden Toupee Fescue', Festuca ovina glauca 'Golden Toupee', is a beautiful tufted ornamental grass. A superb choice for a showy border planting or rock garden, the tight clumps of bright yellow foliage also complement conifers and other evergreens and also work well in containers. This blue fescue cultivar is a slowly spreading, ornamental grass which typically forms a dense, tufted clump (8" tall by 12" wide) of thin, gracefully arching, sharply pointed, hair-like grass blades which are bright chartreuse as opposed to the usual blue-gray of the species. Somewhat insignificant, pale green flowers first appear in flattened, terminal panicles above the foliage on erect, slender stems in early summer, maturing to a straw color by mid-summer Pest and disease free. |
