While this selection adds great color to the garden, it might be the texture it provides in the form of frilly, deeply cut foliage that will really catch your eye. ‘Lime Marmalade’ is an aggressive grower and aggressive about getting your attention with that unique foliage that emerges and forms a beefy rounded mound in April and that striking lime green to chartreuse foliage color that will light the darkness of any shady landscape spot. Like all Heuchera, ‘Lime Marmalade’ sends up thin flower stalks above the foliage with buds that bloom in May and June with white flowers that are attractive yet will still take a backseat to this plants color and texture. ‘Lime Marmalade’ prefers partial sun to full shade and is fabulous grouped in the ground or interspersed with other perennials in a planter to add that needed zing of color and texture

Here’s a tremendous spreading groundcover that quietly goes about its business, spreading like a carpet in the landscape or amongst paving stones. ‘Green Carpet’ is quite easy to grow, loves sun but tolerates partial shade, and provides a nice, fine leaved texture to the landscape. This plant is perfect for grouping and will impress you with its “can-do” attitude!

Soft cream to green, upright flowers on pink stems adorn evergreen gray-green leaves splashed with white. Late winter flowers peek through the last of the snow in a feverish search for spring!

We love this plant for its great smell!  A slight rub of its silvery green foliage and you will be surrounded with the exotic aroma of curry. The curry plant is grown for its smell not for its culinary use – It is not the actual plant that curry comes from. Thin, shiny, silvery gold foliage adds great contrast to the mostly green herb garden. Small yellow flowers appear in late summer. These silvery gold leaves have a bitter taste but they can be used in potpourris and wreathes, but not for food. Actual curry is a blend of over different 14 spices.
