Nepeta

Nepeta
faassenii
'Six Hills Giant'
Catmint |
ZONE 3-8, HT 24-26", SUN
Violet-blue flowers from June until fall. Beautiful in the sunny border! The gray-green foliage is wonderfully fragrant when touched. |

Nepeta
faassenii 'Walkers Low'
Catmint |
ZONE 3-8, HT 2-3', SUN
Nepeta is such a rugged plant, we had to offer you another variety. This compact mound of gray-green fragrant foliage is adorned with lavender flowers for much of the summer. Walker's Low is the name of a garden, not a reference to plant size. 2007 Perennial Association Plant of the Year. |
|
| Nepeta latifolia 'Super Cat'
Catmint |
ZONE 3-8, HT 48-52", SUN
Broad, gray-green leaves on a tall, upright plant. The 8" long blue-violet flower spikes resemble agastache and make wonderful cut flowers. The characteristic fragrant foliage makes it unattractive to deer and rabbits, but butterflies and hummingbirds love the flowers. |

|
Nepeta
siberica
Siberian Catmint |
ZONE 3-8, HT 36", SUN/PART SUN Attractive and fragrant ornamental with silver-green leaves and tall spikes of violet flowers. Long blooming. |

Oenothera fruticosa subsp glauca
Evening Primrose, Sundrops |
ZONE 4-8, HT 1-2', SUN/PART SUN Large, cup-shaped, bright yellow, four-petaled flowers will bring sunshine to even the cloudiest of Vermont days. People often come in asking for this plant when they see it blooming in gardens in early summer. |

|
Onoclea
sensibilis
Sensitive Fern |
ZONE 3-7, HT 24-36", SUN/PART SUN
A good fern
for a sunny, moist area. Spore bearing fronds are very
attractive and often used in dried flower arrangements. |
|
|
Osmunda
cinnamomea
Cinnamon Fern |
ZONE 3-7, HT 18-24", PART SUN/SHADE
A good choice if you need a leafy filler for a shady spot. Light green, lacy leaves. Prefers moist soil. A beautiful and delicious fern (you can eat the "fiddleheads"). |
|
|
Osmunda
claytoniana
Interrupted Fern |
ZONE 3-7, HT 3-5', PART SUN
Very similar to the Cinnamon Fern. Mid-way along the frond the pinnae are interrupted by smaller spore-bearing pinnae. Tolerates dry, neutral soils better than most. Quite foolproof. The fiddleheads in spring are deliciously edible. |

Osmunda
regalis
Royal Fern |
ZONE 3-7, HT 24-36", SHADE
A long-stalked beautiful fern of light green color. Does best in very moist, acid soil. |
