Columbine Plant, wild redGrower: Dogwood Valley Greenhouse
Price: $8.00 ( gallon pot )Available (Exact): 1
Our native species of columbine, Aquilegia canadensis - commonly called eastern red columbine, wild red columbine, or Canadian columbine - is at its peak in spring when its dangling blooms offer ornamental interest and food for ruby throated hummingbirds. Its lovely floral display, ease of growing, and overall charm, make red columbine a great plant for the home garden.
In the wild, red columbine is found in rocky woods, slopes, limestone outcroppings, ledges, or gravelly shorelines tolerating the salt spray and harsh conditions of the sea. Its native range is throughout the eastern United States and southeastern provinces of Canada, reaching a height of 2 to 3 feet.
In the home garden, red columbine makes a great accent plant, adding movement and color to the part sun/part shade garden. It does not tolerate root competition from other plants and frequently doesn’t unpack its bags and stay in one place. As a short-lived perennial, it prefers to self-sow its abundant seeds and pop up in patches of bare soil – between rocks or nestled in a rock wall.
Red columbine tolerates a variety of conditions. It prefers part shade and soil that is moist in spring and dries out in summer, but will tolerate full sun to full shade, varied degrees of moisture, and sandy, rocky, and fertile soils. Combine red columbine with northeastern beardtongue and spotted cranesbill in the part shade garden for a lovely early summer display.
Columbine flowers are edible, but please restrict snacking to the plants in your own garden. For a sweet treat, hold the flower over your tongue and squeeze the flower to extract the nectar. Flowers can also be used as a garnish in salad. Other plant parts, including stems and roots, contain toxins and should not be eaten.

Elderberry BushGrower: Dogwood Valley Greenhouse
Price: $7.00 ( each gallon pot )Available (Exact): 4
Dug this spring from a grove in my yard and potted in gallon pots. These are first-year plants, still small, and may not bloom next year.
This native shrub, American Elder or Sambucus canadensis, has been known for its delicious fruit (for use in jellies, pies or wine) since native American times. It has more recently been used in landscapes for its spectacular blossoms and dramatically colored berries. The Elderberry is also a fantastic wildlife habitat, providing both shelter for small animals and a healthy food source. Elderberries are both drought and cold-tolerant, adapt to almost any soil type and most drainage conditions and have few pests. They grow 6 to 12 feet high in an oval or rounded shape. The white flower clusters are generally 6 to 10 inches in diameter and are very showy with a nice fragrance. The fruit, which is pleasantly tart but high in vitamin C, is a smooth round berry measuring three-sixteenths-inch in diameter growing in broad flat clusters.
Grows in zones: 3 - 9

Fern Plant - Giant Japanese PaintedGrower: Dogwood Valley Greenhouse
Price: $8.00 ( Gallon pot )Available (Estimated): 1
Giant Japanese Fern is thought to be a result of a cross between a typical Athyrium nipponicum pictum, Japanese Painted Fern, and its cousin the lady fern (Athyrium filix-femina). A very unique and rewarding hardy fern, this delightful selection performs well in any rich, evenly moist soil. It forms a massive, arching 3 feet tall clump of silvery fronds with green highlights on dark purple stems. Terrific for edging the shade border, in the rock garden, or in containers. Deciduous. Leaves may be trimmed to the ground in late fall or early spring. Plants are easily divided in spring, every 3 to 4 years. As with all athyriums, deer-resistance is excellent.

Fern Plant - OstrichGrower: Dogwood Valley Greenhouse
Price: $8.00 ( Gallon pot )Available (Exact): 2
Ostrich fern is popular for its erect stature and graceful arching fronds (leaves) resembling huge ostrich feathers, up to 5 feet long and 3 feet wide. Each frond is cut into numerous leaflets and subleaflets. As they mature they spread at the tip, creating a lovely canopy effect.
Ostrich fern is very easy to grow in a variety of light exposures, but prefers shade or partial shade. It colonizes fairly fast by spreading rhizomes, eventually forming large, glorious colonies, but rarely becomes invasive. Ostrich fern grows best in moist, rich soil conditions but tolerates occasional drought when established. It's excellent around a pond or in a damp border. Few plants impart such a light, airy, cooling effect in the landscape, or provide such a range of foliage textures for the garden, as Ostrich fern.
Fiddleheads are edible, and this is the preferred species to eat. However, it should only be eaten in moderation as all ferns contain varying amounts of carcinogenic compounds.
The plant is not evergreen, but the fertile fronds turn black and persist through the winter.
They perform better and better with age. Do not plant too deep; set the crowns at or just below soil level. A year-round mulch is recommended. Zones 2-7, and native south to Virginia and Missouri.

Flowers, Dried - CalendulaGrower: Valley View Farm and Garden
Price: $5.00 ( .25 oz container )Available (Estimated): 1
The flower petals of the calendula plant (Calendula officinalis), or pot marigold, have been used for medicinal purposes since at least the 12th century. Calendula is native to Mediterranean countries but is now grown as an ornamental plant throughout the world. However, it is not the same as the annual marigold plant that is often grown in gardens.
Calendula has high amounts of flavonoids, plant-based antioxidants that protect cells from being damaged by unstable molecules called free radicals. Calendula appears to fight inflammation, viruses, and bacteria.
Traditionally, calendula has been used to treat stomach upset and ulcers, as well as relieve menstrual cramps, but there is no scientific evidence that calendula works for these problems. Today, calendula is often used topically, meaning it is applied to the skin.
Calendula has been shown to help wounds heal faster, possibly by increasing blood flow and oxygen to the affected area, which helps the body grow new tissue. It is also used to improve skin hydration and firmness. The dried petals of the calendula plant are used in tinctures, ointments, and washes to treat burns, bruises, and cuts, as well as the minor infections they cause. Calendula also has been shown to help prevent dermatitis or skin inflammation in people with breast cancer during radiation therapy.

Geraniums were once considered the "must have" plant for English gardens. Perennial geraniums are not related to annual geraniums, but are cold-hardy, long-lived perennials.

Hanging Basket - BrowalliaGrower: Dogwood Valley Greenhouse
Price: $26.00 ( 10" hanging basket )Available (Exact): 1
If you are looking for a low-maintenance annual flower in a shady location and one that blooms prolifically, and for an extended period, consider browallia. Botanically, browallia (Browallia speciosa) is a tropical perennial but it’s mostly grown as a warm-weather annual. Boasting bright blue, purple, and white blooms, it's a moderately fast grower with a cushion-like growth habit. Browallia is especially pretty when cascading down a wall, and its deep green foliage nicely fills a flower bed or rock garden in the summertime. Its flowers attract hummingbirds and it's a popular plant for containers and hanging baskets. Please note that this plant can be toxic if pets ingest it.

Like a tiny petunia on steroids, Calibrachoa (also called million bells) grows and flowers at an amazing rate. Often confused for a petunia, million bells makes a splash in containers or hanging baskets. Be sure to give it ample water and fertilizer, which it needs to fuel its astounding growth.
Calibrachoa like sun, but in the South, there can be too much of a good thing. On the South or West side of a building, a few hours of intense summer sun will be quite enough for these little guys. On my south-facing porch, where they received direct sun for only a short time, Calibrachoa were very happy last summer.

Herb Plant - Basil, CinnamonGrower: Dogwood Valley Greenhouse
Price: $8.00 ( Gallon pot )Available (Exact): 2
Also known as Mexican basil, cinnamon basil is native to the world’s tropical and subtropical climates. Cinnamon basil plants thrive when temperatures are in the 80's and 90's (27-32 C. or more.). This basil plant displays dark green leaves and cinnamon colored stems. Cinnamon basil plants contain cinnamite, a compound that gives the herb an intense, spicy aroma and cinnamon like flavor.
Cinnamon basil is sometimes used medicinally, and is said to be good for maladies such as constipation, headaches, cough, and diarrhea. It contains vitamins A and C, and provides a generous amount of vitamin K. The spicy herb is appreciated by chefs too, who use it as an attractive garnish or to flavor hot drinks or other dishes.
Cinnamon basil requires full sunlight and well-drained soil. Dig a generous amount of compost or well-rotted manure into the soil before planting. Allow plenty of space for Cinnamon basil, as the plant can reach heights and widths of up to 3 feet (1 m.).
Water cinnamon basil plants as needed to keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy. Cinnamon basil grown in containers should be watered whenever the top 1 inch (2.5 cm.) of potting mix feels dry. Don’t overwater, as basil is prone to rot in muddy soil conditions. A thin layer of mulch will help keep the soil moist and prevent evaporation.
Pinch the tips of Cinnamon basil as the plants grow to produce full, bushy growth. Remove the spiky blooms as soon as they appear. Snip leaves and stems any time during the growing season. The flavor is best when the plants are harvested before they flower.

Herb Plant - ChivesGrower: Dogwood Valley Greenhouse

Chives belong to the same family as onion, leeks and garlic. They are a hardy, drought-tolerant perennial growing to about 10-12 inches tall. They grow in clumps from underground bulbs and produce round, hollow leaves that are much finer than onion. In mid-summer, they produce round, pink flowers similar in appearance to clover.
Chives prefer a full sun location and are tolerant of a wide variety of soils but will grow best in soils that are high in organic matter. Chives are most commonly propagated by dividing the clumps in early spring. Clumps should contain about 4-6 bulbs.
Plants that are harvested frequently benefit from supplemental fertilizer during the season. Chives can self-sow and overtake a garden unless flowers are removed before they fade. Chives also make attractive edging in the perennial border and flowers can be cut for arrangements.

Herb Plant - French TarragonGrower: Dogwood Valley Greenhouse
Price: $8.00 ( Gallon pot )Available (Exact): 1
French Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus var. sativa) is the commonly grown temperate-zone tarragon, with a sweet anise flavor, used for culinary purposes. Clip the leaves into salads and on top of soups, to flavor sauces, or with shellfish, fish, chicken, and turkey.
French tarragon plants grow up to 24 inches high and 12 inches wide in two years. The leaves are narrow, up to 2 inches long, and have a fresh green color. The flowers are tiny, pale green, and sterile. Don't confuse it with
Russian tarragon (Artemisia dracunculoides), a close relative which has no flavor.
Tarragon is not particular about temperature and can be grown from Zone 2 to Zone 9. Tarragon’s roots must have fast-draining soil to prevent rot. Plant tarragon in a raised bed where good drainage is ensured.
Divide tarragon in late winter or early spring. Young plants need to be watered every other day during dry weather. Mature plants should be watered every three days to encourage a continual supply of fresh leaves. Mature plants can survive for long periods without water, but under these conditions they will not grow new leaves.
Although average to good garden soil is adequate for tarragon, top-dress with compost every winter to ensure that plants growing for six or seven years do not lose their flavor. If your soil is acidic, tarragon benefits from an application of dolomite for alkalinity and magnesium.
Container growing is easy and works well for one season, but the roots soon take up the space of all but the largest container, and the leaves lose flavor. We have had no problems from pests and diseases and theorize that the anise flavor works as a repellent.
Cut back in June for a continuous harvest. Preserve the leaves in vinegar, or chop and freeze tarragon in water in ice cube trays. However you handle it, tarragon in the kitchen is a delight, as its delicate flavor complements many foods.

Herb Plant - Garden DillGrower: Dogwood Valley Greenhouse
Price: $8.00 ( Gallon pot )Available (Estimated): 2
Dill is a culinary herb with a distinctive flavor that's a cross between celery and fennel. Native to Europe and Asia, dill plays a big role in seasoning pickled foods that will be jarred or canned and stored for winter. Beyond that, both the leaves and seeds are used to season a variety of dishes.
Dill's feathery foliage can be quite ornamental, which makes it a nice addition to flower beds, where it will attract polllinators and butterflies, especially the Eastern black swallowtail butterfly. It blends well with other plants, whether used as foliage or for a bright spot of color—just be sure to keep its self-sowing habit in check by deadheading flower heads before they go to seed.
Although it has a delicate appearance, dill is actually a fairly cold-hardy plant. Mature plants are multi-branched and upright with finely dissected leaves. The wide, flat flowers can make the plant top-heavy and cause it to bend over. The entire plant is extremely fragrant—the foliage and seeds are most commonly thought of as seasonings, but the flowers are also edible.

Herb Plant - LemongrassGrower: Dogwood Valley Greenhouse
Price: $8.00 ( Gallon pot )Available (Exact): 2
Lemongrass is widely used as a culinary herb in Asian cuisines and also as medicinal herb in India. It has a subtle citrus flavor and can be dried and powdered, or used fresh. It is commonly used in teas, soups, and curries. It is also suitable for use with poultry, fish, beef, and seafood. It is often used as a tea in African countries such as Togo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Latin American countries such as Mexico. Lemongrass oil is used as a pesticide and a preservative. Research shows that lemongrass oil has antifungal properties.
In the garden, lemongrass forms a tall, grassy clump 3 to 5 feet tall. Its appearance rivals that of many ornamental grasses and can easily fulfill a similar role in the landscape.
Due to its tropical nature, lemongrass usually only survives winters in zones 8 and warmer. In middle Tennessee, try growing lemongrass as an annual in planting beds or tucked into pots. This citrus-flavored grass overwinters well in a dormant state in a cool, dark spot indoors, or you can grow it as an indoor herb through winter in colder zones.
Harvest lemongrass for its bulbous stem bases, rich with lemony flavor, or clip leaves for infusing tea and soup stock.
Start harvesting as soon as plants are 12 inches tall and stem bases are at least ½-inch thick. Cut stalks at ground level, or hand-pull entire stalks. You want to get the entire swollen base, which resembles a scallion or green onion. If a few roots come up with the stalk, don’t worry: It won’t harm the plant.
The edible portion of lemongrass is near the bottom of the stalk. Carefully cut off the grassy top part of the plant; use caution, as this can be razor-sharp at times. Leaves can be bundled and added to the liquid in a teapot or stock pot, then simmered to infuse lemon flavor into the brew.
Take the lemongrass base and peel the outer fibrous layer to expose the inner white, reedy part. To store, freeze this part either whole or chopped. To make slicing easier, first crush the stem base with the flat blade of a knife. The heart of the stalk (the part you want) has the consistency of soft butter and will then slice easily.

Gorizia does best in full sun but it will tolerate partial shade. The plant prefers a well-drained soil and has some drought tolerance, thus it shouldn’ t be over-watered.

Rosemary Culture: A rewarding plant to grow, rosemary has few problems. It needs excellent drainage; though full sun is desirable, rosemary can tolerate a considerable amount of high shade. Since it has many tiny, shallow roots, rosemary is sensitive about water – neither too much nor too little, as starving for water causes it to wilt. Heavy mulching will help it survive cold spells and also the high heat of summer. Prune dead or damaged portions in early spring.

Thyme is often used as a ground cover, and trailing varieties look well in pots, especially the golden and variegated varieties. Thyme can be used as an edger, but it has a tendency to die out in spots.

Herb Plant - Thyme, Lemon VariegatedGrower: Dogwood Valley Greenhouse
Price: $8.00 ( Gallon pot )Available (Estimated): 2
Lemon Thyme grows like English Thyme but definitely smells and tastes like lemon. Lemon Variegated Thyme has beautiful vibrant green leaves with a hint of gold edging. It can be used in any recipe calling for lemon juice, lemon zest or lemon flavoring. Lemon Thyme added to marinade is great with fish or chicken. Lemon Thyme's glossy green foliage can be sheared to form one of the knots in a traditional knot garden.
Easy to grow, lemon thyme needs only a regular light pruning after the first year. It tolerates drought and deep freezes well. It is best cultivated in a hot, sunny location with well-drained soil with a pH of about 7.0; it prefers slightly alkaline conditions. Add lime to raise the pH if needed, and a slow-release fertilizer at or before planting and again each spring. Mulching with limestone gravel or builder’s sand improves drainage and prevents root rot.
Plant thyme in your herb garden, at the edge of a walk, along a short garden wall, in containers, along a walkway and between steps. The flowers open in spring and summer and are attractive to bees.
Harvest leaves as you need them, including through the winter. Strip the tiny leaves from woody stems before using.

Hosta01 Plant, Large - Blue-Green & Creamy-Yellow CenterGrower: Dogwood Valley Greenhouse
Price: $8.00 ( Gallon pot )Available (Exact): 0
This giant cultivar variety (28" tall x 44" spread) features massive thick blue-green leaves with an intense creamy-yellow center. Mature leaves are puckered.
This hosta is slug resistant, and can also tolerate a bit of sun. Good for planting in mixed containers or tubs.
Sunlight requirements of different hostas vary widely, depending on foliage color, which ranges from a deep blue to a light chartreuse to a soft creamy white. In general, the lighter the foliage, the brighter the sun. The deeper darker foliage retains it color best in moderate shade, while the variegated varieties need more sunlight to keep their white and gold stripes. All hostas need some shade and few, if any, will do well in strong direct sunlight. Plant in rich organic soil with a slightly acidic pH. Dig the planting hole about a foot deep, and wide enough to accommodate spread. Hostas are rugged and tolerate almost any soil. Drainage is most important, to prevent dormant season crown rot. When newly planted, keep the roots moist, not wet. Once established, hosta plants aren’t fussy. Fertilize each spring and again in summer. Granular fertilizers should never sit on the leaves.
Deer find them tasty, and you might try planting daffodils around your hosta to keep them away from the emerging shoots. Slugs leave unsightly holes in the leaves, but a light scattering of sand around your plants will help keep them away.

Price: $8.00 ( Gallon pot )Available (Estimated): 1
18" tall x 30" wide - Tardiana Group (generally large-leaved cultivars with blue-green leaves.) Attracts butterflies, hummingbirds, pollinators, deer resistant, rabbit resistant, slug resistant, low maintenance. ("Resistant" does not mean "proof".)
An excellent hosta for a small garden with a compact, medium-sized mound of gorgeous, glaucous blue-green, flattened, heart-shape leaves. Pairs well with bright, variegated hosta varieties. Slow growing. Retains its color well in the heat of summer in shadier locations. Dies back in winter.
Tall stems of showy pale lavender-mauve flowers on 26" stems emerge in summer. It is an erect plant growing to about 14 inches tall with heavily textured. spear-shaped blue-green leaves resembling seersucker fabric.
Hostas prefer consistent moisture but will tolerate somewhat dry soil. Drainage is most important, to prevent dormant season crown rot. They might wilt in very warm temperatures unless frequently watered, and high humidity sometimes encourages snails and slugs, which can chew ragged disfiguring holes in the foliage. Keeping the ground free of thick mulches can discourage slugs and snails. Fertilize each spring and again in summer. Granular fertilizers should never sit on the leaves.

Pepper Plant - CayenneGrower: Dogwood Valley Greenhouse
Price: $3.00 ( quart pot )Available (Estimated): 3
The cayenne pepper is a type of Capsicum annuum. It is usually a moderately hot chili pepper used to flavor dishes. Cayenne peppers are a group of tapering, 10 to 25 cm long, generally skinny, mostly red-colored peppers, often with a curved tip and somewhat rippled skin, which hang from the bush as opposed to growing upright. Most varieties are generally rated at 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville units.
The fruits are generally dried and ground to make the powdered spice of the same name, although cayenne powder may be a blend of different types of peppers, quite often not containing cayenne peppers, and may or may not contain the seeds.
Cayenne is used in cooking spicy dishes either as a powder or in its whole form. It is also used as an herbal supplement.

Ghost Pepper - Bhut jolokia is a small chile typically of a red or orange color and can have bumpy or smooth skin. The peppers are about 2.5-3.5 inches long and 1 inch wide, about the size of your thumb. They are a thinner skin than many chiles, and (unlike jalapeños) contain only half of their capsaicin (the spicy stuff) in the vein or pith and the other half in the actual flesh of the fruit. That means there's no escaping the heat when cooking with these bad boys.
