Two New Perennial Purchases

Name: Ruby's Tuesday Dianthus
Variety: Dianthus hybrida valda kitty
Color: red
Type: Perennial
Height: 12"
Sun: Full

We purchased this perennial at Lowe's. It came in a 2 quart bucket for about $3.00, which is a great buy. It has buds but is not in flower. However, you can never be certain when the flowers truly bud out because the green house always skews bloom time.

Name: Brass Buttons
Variety: Leptinella Squalida
Color: None
Type: Perennial
Height: 6"
Sun: Full

This is a ground cover that has a fern like look to it. It was copper colored with tinges of green and looked very interesting. It will be moved to the water fall eventually.

Both these plants were put on the south side for now. Actually that area is becoming over grown with plants ready to go onto the water fall as soon as it is finished. I hope we can get them moved this fall or in the spring. In the meantime it really looks great in those planting areas.
