Chocolate CosmosChocolate Cosmos -
Cosmos atrosanguineus
The flower of this perennial cosmos from a fibrous root actually smells like milk chocolate!  The most fun I have at the farmer's market is telling people unfamiliar with the plant to give the beautiful mahogany red/brown flowers a sniff.  Every year the plant clump will come up larger than the year before.  Full sun to mostly sun.  Needs good drainage so tuberous roots won't rot. 2 x 2 ft, Z8 outdoors, or lift them during winter.








Midnight Rose HeucheraHeuchera 'Midnight Rose'  ppaf
One of the newest and hottest Heucheras.  Of course if we're going to sell a Heuchera it's going to have "rose" in it somewhere and we're so glad we picked this one!  Compact, darkest leaves are spotted hot pink in the spring, then fade to cream and pink dots in summer.  Small shoot of bell-shaped blooms is pretty insignificant come summer.  Mostly sun to part shade, so perfect under a rose bush!  We've even been growing one nicely indoors in the sunny office window, but we think one of its main glories is the way it offsets everything else green in the garden.  1 x 1 ft Z4  Midnight Rose Huechera








Lilacs




















Lilac - Syringa vulgaris 'Sensation'     
A most popular lilac, Sensation is the only lilac with amazing picoteed edges.  The huge clusters of flowers bloom in lilac/purple with a cream edge around each individual flowerette.  Wonderful lilac fragrance.  Bluish green heart-shaped leaves.  Full sun/part sun.  Deciduous.  Needs some winter chill to bloom well.  Occasionally sports white flowers.  10-15 ft,  Z3    You can almost smell it in this up-close photo courtesy of Dawn:
