  AQUILEGIA vulgaris 'Woodside Gold'

  more Info

  
  The Vervaeneana-Group has existed for a long time within the species, Aquilegia vulgaris. For the most part, most had variegated, yellow or marbled leaves. The previously introduced, 'Woodside Strain' contained these forms.

  'Woodside Gold', however, is a selection of strong, golden yellow spring foliage that gradually turns to light yellow. The colorful foliage contrasts attractively with the blue and rose-colored flowers.

  'Woodside Variegata', on the other hand, has all the year round yellow-white-green spotted, variegated foliage and the nodding, bell-shaped blossoms are dark violet.

  More than 90% of the plants of each selection correspond to the descriptions above. These distinctively colorful columbines are well suited for sunny to partially shady sites.

  HIBISCUS Moscheutos-Hybr. 'Galaxy'

  more Info

  
  This is a winter hardy selection from Gilberg Farms that has handled temperatures of -20¡C (-4¡F). Few flowering plants can rival 'Galaxy'. It is a large flowering mix with an exceptional color display with saucer-shaped blossoms up to 25 cm (10") in diameter. These include a combination of colors of pink and white with red centers; plus pure colors of white, light pink, rose, dark rose, and light red to dark red.

  Strong stems, vigorous upright growth of up to 120 cm (48") and healthy foliage, characterize the remarkable 'Galaxy'. Like the less hardy 'Southern Belle Mix', seedlings of 'Galaxy' will flower the first year if planted early in the season. However, they will need two years to fully mature and prefer a full sunny position with sufficient water supply. Small plants appreciate some winter protection.

  LAVANDULA angustifolia 'Hidcote Superior'

  more Info

  
  Among lavenders, 'Hidcote' and 'Hidcote Blue' are unquestionable the most popular cutting-grown cultivars, as is 'Hidcote Blue Strain' for the seed-grown cultivars. Take your pick among propagation methods, but either means, has produced variable results with an inconsistent and unpredictable product from nursery to nursery.

  Under the name 'Hidcote Superior', Jelitto will now be able to unmistakably market the seed grown from our very own production of 'Hidcote Blue'. The result will be of consistent quality with deep violet-blue flowers, compact growth and silver-grey foliage.
