| Allium christophii |  | Metallic purple blooms in the late spring, one of the most beautiful onions in the genus! Blooms gradually dry and turn tan providing a visual treat all summer and into the fall.
Blooms also last well as cut flowers with no offensive smell.
The blooms consist of many small starry flowers in large purple globose clusters, up to 12 inches in diameter, on 12-20 inch tall stems.
The flower stems dry easily, and are great additions to dry flower arrangements. These have bluish-green strap-like leaves, with silky hair on the underside, up to 18 inches long (45 cm), the leaves disappear as the flowers open, and are usually all dried up and gone before the blooms have faded.
These are not bothered by deer, rodents or slugs, there can be some problems with underground pests such as bulb mites and maggots.
Star of Persia is very happy growing in a landscape with other plants, since it loses the foliage early, by the time when it blooms in May, planting with hosta or another deciduous plant works very well.
Hardy in zones 4 - 8.
Planting depth to base of bulb: 4 - 8 inches
Spacing between bulbs: 12 inches
Light requirements: full sun to part shade
Good drainage is a MUST, bulbs like ample water in the spring, dryer in the summer when they are dormant, planting with other plants that take up excess water in the summer is fine.

The plant prefers light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils, requires well-drained soil and can grow in heavy clay soil. The plant prefers acid, neutral and basic (alkaline) soils and can grow in very alkaline soil. It can grow in semi-shade (light woodland) or no shade. It requires moist soil.
Cultivation details
it prefers a sunny position in a rich moist but well-drained soil, though it succeeds in most soils and also in light shade. Tolerates a pH in the range 5.2 to 8.3.
Chives are commonly cultivated in the garden for their edible leaves which are available from late winter to the beginning of the following winter. The bulbs divide rapidly and large clumps are quickly formed. Chives are very tolerant of heavy harvesting, regular cutting of the leaves ensures a continuous supply of young leaves and prevents the plants flowering.
The bulbs should be planted fairly deeply.
A good bee plant.
Propagation
Seed - sow spring in a cold frame. Germination is usually free and easy, pot up the seedlings as soon as they are large enough to handle easily and plant out in the following spring.
Division can be carried out at almost any time of the year but is probably best done in spring. The clumps should be divided at least every 3 or 4 years in order to maintain vigour, the divisions can be planted out direct into their permanent positions.
Flowers are excellent for cutting, fresh or dried. Great for edging. Chives are inclined to seed themselves around, which can be prevented by removing the flower heads as they begin to fade. Easily divided in spring or fall.

Common Name: Swamp milkweed
Zone: 3 to 9
Plant Type: Herbaceous perennial
Height: 3 to 4 feet
Spread: 1.5 to 2 feet
Bloom Time: July - August
Bloom Color: White
Sun: Full sun (only)
Water: Medium moisture
Maintenance: Low
General Culture:
Easily grown in medium wet to wet soils in full sun.
Surprisingly tolerant of average well-drained soils in cultivation even though the species is native to swamps and wet meadows.
Plants have deep taproots and are best left undisturbed once established.
Foliage is slow to emerge in spring.
Noteworthy Characteristics:
This swamp milkweed cultivar is an erect, clump-forming plant which typically grows 3-3.5' tall on branching stems and is basically a compact, white-flowered form of the pink/mauve-flowered .
Small, mildly fragrant, white flowers (1/4" wide), each with five reflexed petals and an elevated central crown, appear in tight clusters (umbels) at the stem ends in summer.
Narrow, lance-shaped leaves are 3-6" long. Stems exude a toxic milky sap when cut.
Flowers are followed by attractive seed pods (to 4" long) which split open when ripe releasing silky-haired seeds easily carried by the wind.
Flowers are very attractive to butterflies as a nectar source.
In addition, this plant serves as a food source for the larval stage of Monarch butterflies.
No serious insect or disease problems.
Uses:
Sunny borders, stream/pond banks, butterfly gardens. A good plant for low spots or other moist areas in the landscape.

| Campanula glomerata Acaulis |  | The Bellflower Clustered Acaulis, 'Campanula glomerata 'Acaulis', is the perfect perennial for edging paths and borders.
This small Campanula fits into places the lager ones don't. It is called Clustered Bellflower because of the tightly clustered flowers at the top of the short stems. When planted in groups of five or more, they provide a dramatic effect.
The 1 inch long, bell-shaped, dark blue flowers flare at the mouth and are clustered at the top of short, rigid stems. Clustered Bellflowers bloom in early summer for 3 to 6 weeks.
Campanula are not picky about soils but prefer well drained soils that are neutral to slightly alkaline. Soil should be moist but not soggy.
They like cool roots so mulch is recommended where soils or exposures are hot.
This Bellflower is used in rock garder early fall, and at least 2 months before fins, borders, edging for paths, borders and for ground cover.

An easily grown plant, succeeding in ordinary garden soil. It prefers a dry sunny position with some lime and is not suitable for heavy or damp soils. Established plants are drought tolerant.
A very ornamental plant, it should be planted into its permanent position as soon as possible because it dislikes root disturbance.
The whole plant contains a very aromatic essential oil, giving out a scent somewhat like lemon peel. When the plant is bruised, this smell becomes more like fine balsam. This essential oil is emitted from the plant in hot weather and, on a still day, can be ignited and will burn for a second or two without harming the plant, thus giving the plant its common name.
Slugs are strongly attracted to this plant and can destroy it by eating all the young growth in spring.
The flowers are very attractive to bees. Propagation
Seed - best sown in a cold frame as soon as it is ripe. Cold stratify stored seed for 6 weeks and sow in the spring in a cold frame. The seed usually germinates in 1 - 6 months at 15°c. As soon as they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in the greenhouse for at least their first winter. Plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts.
Division in spring. Take care since the plant resents root disturbance. The plant can also be divided in autumn.
