Award-winning Anemone blanda 'Blue Shade' is a very attractive tuberous perennial that provides drifts of bright colors in mid-spring. Lovely mounds of large daisy-like flowers, about 2 inches wide (5cm), show off in shades of lilac-purple over a finely cut fernlike foliage and spread out to form a carpet of flowers - all to the great pleasure of the onlooker! These daisies are a delight and seem to last for weeks. Ideal to plant in quantity along paths and borders, even under shade trees. For sheer spring joy, plant a few!

Tulip 'Pinocchio' offers fabulous ivory-white blooms marked with scarlet flames and a bronze heart. Combined with its heavily mottled leaves, this creates an unforgettable visual impact! The flowers, large in proportion to the plant's total height, up to 4 in. across (10 cm), open wide in the full sun. 'Pinocchio' will reliably bring sparkles to the garden in early-mid spring. Growing only 10 inches tall (25 cm), this tulip naturalizes easily and will come back year after year
