 The Persicaria Red Dragon is a great variety in Persicaria family. This plant features superb, variegated maroon foliage with burgundy heart-shaped centers and a white chevron. The plants reach two feet in height and can spread up to two feet as well. The flowers are white and bloom during June and July, but this plant is most often grown simply for its foliage. Red Dragon prefers a consistently moist soil, but should not be overwatered. This plant would look awesome in your perennial garden or mixed container. |

 The Walking Fern, ‘Camptosorus rhizophyllus,’ is a very interesting little plant. Its common name originates from the fact that the leaves sprout new plants at their apices. After a few generations, this fern will appear as if it is walking across the ground because the frond tips curve over and root wherever they touch the ground. Walking ferns have attractive foliage, and the simply leaves are often tapering to the tips. This perennial fern is flowerless and would make any yard look great. |

 The Gladiolus Mixed, ‘Gladiolus mixed,’ produces magnificent mixed colored flowers that grow on short stalks. When planted in two-week intervals from early spring through June, the flowering period of this spring planted corm can be greatly increased. As the flowers begin to develop, water and fertilization should be increased. They should be planted four inches deep in clay soils and six inches deep in other types. The deeper the corm is planted, the less the plants will need to be staked. When the leaves turn yellow, the plants should be dug up, dipped in fungicide and stored in a dry location for the winter months. Gladiolas are sometimes called Sword Lily or Corn Flag. |
