COREOPSIS verticillata ‘Zagreb’ $11.95 12" x 12" z5 Threadleaf Coreopsis An indispensable perennial with bright golden-yellow daisy-like flowers which appear in luxurious profusion all summer. The leaves are very fine and needle-like and form an exceptionally bushy, yet airy, upright clump. Just give it lots of sun, not too much water and the flowers will take care of themselves.

CORNUS canadensis $12.95 3" x 12" z2 Bunchberry Very pretty, lime-green, pleated leaves develop bronze-red fall colour on this excellent low-growing native, suitable as a groundcover in shady areas. Striking greenish-white dogwood flowers, occasionally with purple highlights, bloom from spring to midsummer. Showy, scarlet-red berries appear in late summer. Excellent shade-loving native groundcover will blanket the ground under pines, evergreens and other acid loving plants. Seems to prefer poor, rocky soil. Subtle and beautiful.

Delightful planted in a rock wall. Drought tolerant, but will produce the best display in moist soil. Happy in sun to part shade. Worth growing for the generous profusion of flowers. Self-seeds prolifically, but it is very shallow rooted and easy to remove when desired. Photo courtesy Walters Gardens, Inc.
