January 2019

Despite yo-yo weather in 2018 we had a season of growth. I look forward to producing and selling more plants in 2019.

2018 saw more demand for our top selling introduction Rudbeckia x ‘American Gold Rush’. It is on its way to popularity, while ‘Glitters like Gold’ is just getting noticed. Andropogon gerardii ‘Blackhawks’ and ‘Red October’ are still hot. The two newest Geums ‘Cherry Bomb’ PPAF and ‘Top Shelf Margarita’ PPAF both sold well in their first year. Sedum x ‘Pillow Talk’ sales held steady. Both of the Stachys x ‘Summer Crush’ PPAF and ‘Summer Romance’ PP#30,243 are poised to increase in sales since Stachys monieri ‘Hummelo’ is the Perennial Plant Associations plant of the year. As I look at our future introductions many are grasses including more Pennisetums. This year we are introducing a small Pennisetum alopecuroides with golden yellow foliage called ‘Yellow Ribbons’ PPAF. It’s size and habit are close to ‘Hameln’ but the thin foliage goes from a bright gold to chartreuse yellow by late summer. Panicum virgatum ‘Prairie Dog’ PPAF is our first Switch grass introduction and was selected for its clean upright gray foliage on relatively short 4-5’ plants. Large inflorescence covers the top third of the plant.

Additional new perennials this year include 15 new Hostas. Many are the best new varieties from Walters Gardens. Orostachys x ‘Octopus Garden’ is our newest seed strain, a vigorous blend of gray-green, silvered, and plum succulent foliage in overlapping rosettes topped with pointed creamy spikes in fall. It is super attractive to pollinators too. Prunella vulgaris ‘Magdalena’ PPAF has both a larger habit and foliage than the species. It also has regular rebloom after the initial heavy bloom in mid-June. The fingered foliage always looks nice. These plants are very adaptable and native to 48 states. Even the dark purple seed heads are showy. I’m pleased Sedum x ‘Bundle of Joy’ PPAF is our fourth Proven Winners plant. It is a white sport of ‘Pure Joy’ and has the same great dome shaped habit, 1’ tall by 15-20” wide. Sedum x ‘Lime Joy’ PPAF has exceptional vigor yielding 200 plants within a year. In July the lime green buds resemble Hydrangea in bud and could make a nice cut flower. By September strong stems hold 6-8” flower heads of deep pink. Sedum x ‘Sunset Boulevard’ PPAF is a sister seedling to ‘Pillow Talk’ with both darker, reddish-pink flowers and wine colored seed heads above rose and green colored foliage. The foliage adds yellow and orange fall color as the season ends putting on an extra show for October. We have two new Veronicas one is ‘Blue Skywalker’ a deep blue from Walters and our intro, Veronica x ‘Kiss the Sky’ PPAF which has extra long, sky blue flowers above gray-green clean foliage all on 24” + plants.

I look forward to showing these and many other plants this year and encourage you to visit. IPG will be on the Sunday July 28th PPA tour before the Chicago symposium. If you can’t make it during PPA consider attending our 5th annual Ornamental Grasses day, Friday September 13th, 2019. This is a perfect time to see most of our ornamental grasses at their peak.
