Allium x Windy City was new last year but this year we have opened up licensing. If you have not trialed
the plant and want to, please get in touch with me. It has deep green foliage and purple-pink flowers on
15-18” stems in July. Our Allium breeding is really starting to show some maturity with many unique forms
including a sterile green leaved chive. Amsonia tabernaemontana Short Stop is the first in our Baseball
series. It grows 2’ plus and unlike most Amsonias does not bolt with new growth after the flowers. Yellow

black- purple highlights at peak season, the end of September. Deep green with purple throughout the rest
of the season, it will stand out in the landscape.
I’m still working on Echinacea and this year we have an extra large 6” bi-color magenta with light pink
tips on dark cones called Wild Horses. In Geum, garden gems, we have a semi-double orange that has
shorter petals overlapping the full size petals, called Coppertone Punch PPAF. Our breeding in daylilies has
taken a great step two years ago when I visited Darrel Apps and he shared seedlings with over 20 years of
re-blooming work behind them. In 2016 we will have our first batch of blooming seedlings and have three
extra short hybrids with On Top to throw in the mix. In Leucanthemum we continue to have many new
forms and look forward to evaluate and trail some with you. We continue to breed for a small red flowered
Pennisetums and should have one to share soon. For over ten years I’ve been selecting the best forms of
Polemonium reptans and I finally have one that’s too nice not to share. Soft Rain has both smaller foliage

p Our Breeding Philosophy P
Our plants are bred and selected in the tough conditions of the Midwest with hot
humid summers and cold wet winters. We strive to breed plants not as a means,
but with an end in mind.
Our goals are simple- improved, durable, ornamental garden plants for our own
climate and the rest of the world! Our plants are bred to stand the test of time, if
they don’t survive or thrive in the garden why bother.
and stature topping out right around 1’ tall. The color is sky blue and deepens to iridescent with cool nights.
Perfect with other spring blooming plants.
