Spigelia marilandica 'Little Redhead' (Compact Indian Pink)
Sun to Light Shade Zone: 5b-9 12" tall Origin: USA
We received this compact form of the wonderful native indian pink from plantsman and garden writer Pam Harper, who extolled its virtues after many years in her garden. Pam originally got the plant years earlier from Bob McCartney of Woodlanders Nursery. While all Spigelia marilandica are great plants, this form is more compact, topping out at 1' tall. The stalks are topped from mid-May until mid-July (NC) with stunning, tubular, red flowers highlighted with yellow inside. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) #06866

Tamarix

Tamarix ramosissima 'Pink Cascade' (Pink Cascade Salt Cedar)
SunZone: 3-8, at least 144" tall Origin: Europe, Asia
NEW!
Tamarix ramosissima is a plant like lantana or impatiens, that can be great or problematic depending on where it is grown. In our NC climate, it is a phenomenal garden performer, thriving in both dry or moist soils. The 12' tall woody stems are adorned with glaucous juniper-like foliage, and topped from May until frost with stunning open plumes of light pink flowers...a great source of honeybee nectar. In desert climates, it should not be planted since it gets carried away by vigorously reseeding near waterways and riparian areas...even in saltwater. Perhaps planting millions of these in the Southwest during the WPA projects of the 1930s wasn't such a great idea. We, however, have grown this for 2 decades and have never seen the first seedling.,,,,,,,,,,,,

Teucrium marum (Kitty Crack)
SunZone: 7b-10 24" tall Origin: Spain
NEW!
You've never seen stupid pet tricks until you've seen a cat stoned on kitty crack. Teucrium marum is a delightful compact shrubby mint to 2' tall x 3' wide, covered in tiny fragrant green leaves and equally tiny reddish pink flowers from July through September. As soon as your cats find it, the plant is no more since they will roll in, over, and around it until they get so high they finally stagger off. Teucrium marum hails from the hot and dry regions of Spain...the source of many other good drugs. Grab the video camera and wait for the show. Warning...if your cat is unable to control their recreational use of Teucrium marum, we recommend a sturdy cage for your plants or an extended stay in kitty rehab. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) #08687
