ColorBlaze™ Dark Star Coleus

We made up some beautiful combination planters this year and this is one of them. In this combination we included Coleus Dark Star, Lemon Symphony Osteospermum and Calibrachoa Blue. A suggestion that I have to make a nice full looking Coleus is to trim them back to about 6″ once they originally get about 12″.

(Coleus) Color Blaze™ Dark Star Solenostemon is a must have for all coleus lovers. The stunning dark purple foliage gives great color all season long. Color Blaze™ Dark Star is another great introduction from Proven Winners!

Black Lace™ Sambucus nigra ‘Eva’

(Elderberry) Black Lace™ Sambucus is perhaps the coolest new plant on the market! This new Sambucus looks more like a Japanese maple or a Cimicifuga but it is a whole lot easier to grow. The lacy, intense purple-black foliage offers unique texture to the garden and provides season long interest. In midsummer, massive clusters of pink flowers cover the plant and emit a light lemon fragrance. The flowers are a wonderful contrast to the dark foliage.

Edgy™ Hearts Hydrangea

macrophylla ‘Horheart’ PPAF

If there is one Hydrangea that I have to say is my favorite, Edgy Hearts just took the prize. I had planted one of these in a large container to put in my yard this spring. And needless to say it was ready before my yard was ready so I put it in the store to be sold. Everybody asked “is it real”? The deep dark green foliage looked like plastic. The masses of HUGE blooms looked to good to be real. Everybody came up to it and just had to touch it to be sure. The blooms were much larger than what my hand could hold and the amount of blooms were just amazing. The strong sturdy stems held the large blooms with no problem. A must have for you Hydrangea collection!

(Hydrangea Picotee) Edgy™ Hearts Hydrangea has dark pinkish-red flowers, with heart-shaped petals that are emphasized by narrow, white line margins along the edges. Edgy™ Hearts was developed in Dresden, Germany and grows to 2-4 feet with strong stems and glossy foliage. The addition of aluminum sulfate will push the flower color to a blue hue creating a dramatic new look. A Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrub
