	Green Coneflowers? That's right! Brenda's Blumenladen has green coneflowers.  This particular variety is called "Green Jewel." Unique shades of green will add variety and interest to your summer perennial garden! Light green ray petals surround the large, green cone of this one-of-a-kind fragrant coneflower. The flowers have an upright growth habit and a height of just 20-24" so no staking is required. This hardy perennial has blooms appear in midsummer and last well into the fall.
	New! Coneflower "Pica Bella" You’ll love the pleasingly unusual look of this new compact coneflower variety that sets it apart from all the other new varieties. ‘Pica Bella’ has very thin petals held horizontally around a colorful orange-bronze central cone giving the plant a very fine textured bouquet of flowers in mid-summer.

2010 Plant of the Year The Perennial Plant Association has announced the 2010 Plant of the Year- Blue False Indigo.  This native species has been popular with gardeners for years because it offers year-round interest and it's easy to grow. Baptisia australis Blue False Indigo features 12" long spires of intense blue flowers in mid to late spring.  After the flowers have faded, the soft blue-green foliage forms a sturdy, shrub-like clump up to 3-4 feet tall and wide.  Taking place of the spent flowers are 3" long puffy seed pods that emerge green and then turn to black in late summer to fall.  They remain throughout the winter providing interest in the landscape.
