Yezberry® Maxie™ Japanese haskap is a truly tasty berry that just about anyone can grow. Yellow flowers appear in very early spring (it will almost certainly be the first thing to bloom in your landscape each year) and develop into luscious blue berries in early summer. No spraying or fussy pruning is required to get a harvest of fruit so tasty, you’ll want to eat it as fast as you can pluck them from the stems. This exceptionally hardy shrub grows well in sun or part shade and doesn’t need any special soil in order to thrive. Plant Yezberry Maxie haskap within 50’/15.2 m of another Yezberry® variety to ensure an abundant fruit set.

New to American shores, this bush form of Honeysuckle is native to eastern Siberia. ‘Blue Belle’™ offers a sweet, easy to grow treat in the form of oodles of dark blue, oblong, almost Blueberry-tasting berries that mature in June. This fruit is perfect for fresh eating by the handful or sprinkled on your favorite early summer treat like ice cream for an even sweeter rush of flavor. ‘Blue Belle’™ is a dense, rounded shrub with tight branching that holds deep green, elongated foliage. Small, white flowers bloom along its branches in April while foliage is emerging leading to the incredible array of fruit that quickly matures by late spring. ‘Blue Belle’™ loves full sun and well-drained soil and is as tough as nails as you might expect with its Siberian heritage.

‘Starship Blue’ goes above and beyond the expectations of the standard Lobelia. This plant features its sturdy, upright, spires packed with dark blue blossoms from early summer into the fall. They attract butterflies and support bees. Plant them in containers or use them in borders or beds with plenty of sunlight. Also, make sure to cut some flowers to keep inside as these beauties make excellent cut flowers. 

Those wet landscape spots sure can be difficult to make beautiful. It’s a good thing that native plants like Blue Cardinal Flower are around to fill and beautify spots that could be such eyesores without them. This selection has vigor that belies its tough growing conditions with strongly upright plants sporting medium green colored, long, lance-like foliage. Plants continue to grow upward as summer approaches, topping themselves with numerous long flower stalks. The buds on these stalks open in early summer revealing prominently lower lipped blue blooms that are striking to you and to all the butterflies and hummingbirds that will visit for a nectar snack. This selection will bloom throughout the summer and will thrive along streams and ponds even if their feet stay a little wetter than most other plants can tolerate. Why such a strange species name you might ask?? This native was used in years past as a folklore venereal disease cure giving it its unique species name!

Blue bloomers always stand out in the garden and ‘Fan Blue’ is no exception as it produces numerous dense spikes of intense blue-violet, birdlike blossoms on compact, strictly upright plants. The blooms begin with a dark indigo in the throat, and then “fan” out into a lighter purplish-blue and feature an earlier bloom time than the species, beginning in July and continuing into fall. ‘Fan Blue’, like all Lobelia, will thrive in moist soils and around water features, but will perform beautifully when planted in borders or even containers. Its flowers attract a wide array of hummingbirds, moths and butterflies and may be used very effectively as a cut flower. ‘Fan Blue’ does well in sun or part shade and is stunning in groups.

There is no more stunning plant in the landscape when this mounding spreading beauty starts showing off its brilliant, electric blue flowers. Deep green, shiny foliage is a great flower backdrop. Blooms July through September.
