Hydrangea
Big Daddy™

Giant 12-14” flower-heads are the hallmark of this charming Hydrangea bred by ItSaul Plants. ‘Big Daddy’ is offered exclusively to independent garden centers as part of the award-winning Plants that Work program in limited quantities for 2004. Pink in alkaline (limey) soils and blue in acidic soils, ‘Big Daddy’ offers trouble-free garden grouping or commands attention just as an accent plant. Each gigantic flower-head is composed of masses of tightly-clustered florets that radiate bright color. Perfect for fresh, and dried arrangements, ‘Big Daddy’ will add intrigue and romance to the garden with blooms from early summer through fall…an especially long time for a Hydrangea. Even when not blooming, Big Daddy is attractive. Dark-green, glossy leaves appear to be polished, on stems that provide a sturdy branching habit. Unlike many Hydrangeas, ‘Big Daddy’ performs fine in the full sun, though it responds to some shade in the southern part of its hardiness range. Best of all, ‘Big Daddy’ is easy to grow in the hot, humid summers of the South and the Midwest. Once established in good soil, this Hydrangea will prove to be a reliable performer with little need for special care. Over-the-top beauty doesn’t come along very often, and ‘Big Daddy’ makes a super addition to any garden setting.

Since being awarded his first Chelsea Gold Medal in his early twenties Raymond Evison has spent decades searching, breeding, introducing and cultivating the best clematis varieties in the industry. This collection is selected from a sophisticated breeding program that offers reliable, free flowering cultivars.

• Reliable Free Flowering Plants
• Unique Bloom Types

This exciting new hydrangea offers hardiness and a double blast of color with its variegated foliage and beautiful lace cap flowers. The plant grows 3-4' in height and 3' wide with strong zone 5 hardiness.

The foliage is a good alternative to some perennials and shrubs such as Hosta in a shade area of your landscape with the added color of the summer blooms. This selection has shown to be hardy and have good reliable foliage color in our test gardens in Avon, Ohio. The flower color can be adjusted by controlling the ph levels in the soil and range from hues of pink to blue.

Buddleia Lo & Behold™

This plant offers so much marketing potential for both the garden center and landscape. The first true dwarf Buddleia on the market and it is a blooming machine! Beginning in late May to early June, prolific fragrant blossoms begin and continue through frost.

The real potential is its diversity. Lo & Behold can be used as a low growing ground cover, container plant and a hardy shrub. The true one-gallon and a mature three-gallon offers price points to meet most needs in both the garden center channel and landscaping applications. The plant looks great in the white branded pot and has a full color tag for early spring sales. The marketing is huge with hundreds of thousands of impressions in ads planned this year.
