Gaura Lindheimeri : ONAGRACEAE, (White Gaura). To 5'. Drought-tolerant native of Texas and Louisiana. Beautiful airy white flowers held high above clean foliage.

Glechoma hederacea 'Variegata' : LAMIACEAE, (Variegated Ground Ivy). Creeping perennial with pretty, rounded leaves splashed with white along narrow stems. Effective ground cover in partial shade, but be aware that it can be quite invasive. Prefers damp soil. Zones 5-9.

Gymnaster Savatieri : ASTERACEAE, (Gymnaster). Aster relative with white, yellow-centered daisies. Though the flowers are not large, the exuberance of bloom and the duration of such places this plant at the height of late summer interest. Rhizomatous. Hardy. 1Qt. $5.00 each.
Helianthus angustifolius : ASTERACEAE, (Swamp Sunflower). Excellent glossy green linear foliage, lofty growth, bright yellow daisies, and native adaptation characterize this beauty. Unlike some Helianthus species, this one is not invasive from the root; rather, it is a clump-former, albeit a quick one. Moist soil during the growing season helps the Swamp Sunflower to achieve heights of up to 7' or more. Shear once or twice in early summer to keep the height down. Flowering period is late summer. Native; our plants from local stock. Zones 5-9. (Image / JPEG / 600x426 pixels / 99.6KB) (Image / JPEG / 540x437 pixels / 43.1KB)

Helianthus salicifolius, (Willow-leaf Sunflower). Wispy leaves belie the strength of this Plains states native. Grows 4-6 ft. tall and prefers a somewhat dry soil in full sun; tolerant of alkaline soils. Nice show of dark-centered yellow daisies in summer. Zones 5-8.
Hemerocallis are familiar to most gardeners, because they are ubiquitous, useful, dependable perennials. Grow the following in any decent soil in sun or partial shade. Our special interest is miniatures, which we feel are particularly well suited to a modern American perennial garden. Many of the large daylilies below that are offered, with only a color for a name, came from Mike's Grandmother Doogie's garden in McComb, Mississippi. They are mostly registered varieties with a name lost long ago, thus our merely descriptive monikers. Our container-grown Daylily plants are shipped bare-rooted from 3-quart pots, in order to reduce shipping costs. 1-quart plants are shipped in the pot. All plants purchased at the nursery are sold growing in the pot. All of our daylilies, bare-rooted as well as potted, may be planted at any time.

Hypericum olympicum 'Minus' : HYPERICACEAE, (Creeping St. Johnswort). Creeping perennial subshrub with 2" yellow flowers in summer; previously offered as H. olympicum. Very neat little plant, no more than 6" high.
