January 2020

2019 was a great year for Intrinsic Perennial Gardens. Looking back we enjoyed many great visitors from all over including a PPA tour in July and Fergus Garrett from Great Dixter in September. Our Rudbeckia x ‘American Gold Rush’ won the All American Selection award just in time to meet the growing supply. It was and will continue to be one of our top selling plants for its naturally compact habit and disease resistant foliage. I also celebrated my 50th birthday and 29th year growing perennials.New plants for 2020 include a wide range of our favorite genera. Amsonia x ‘Bases Loaded’ PPAF is our most refined intermediate size foliage yet. Extra dark green foliage shows off the heavy clusters of light blue inflorescences on 18-24” stems. Reserved growth keeps the 30” plants wider than they are tall. Stay tuned for future Amsonia. Bouteloua gracilis ‘Honey Blonde’ PPAF is a larger Grama grass selected for uniform growth, good vigor and upright stems standing up to winter. Dianthus x ‘Fuschia Fire’ PPAF is the first plant introduction from breeder Jake Letmanski, who I’ve been lucky enough to mentor since he joined our team in 2017 at 15 years old. His introduction has the great attributes of ‘Firewitch’ but is half the size and has Kahori in its background which helps its sporadic rebloom. ‘Fuchsia Fire’ are matting silver plants that spread out instead of opening up in the middle. A portion of the royalty will go to Jake as he pursues horticulture in college fall of 2020. Eupatorium x ‘Polished Brass’ PPAF is an absolute pollinator and butterfly magnet. The 4’ tall hybrid plants emerge with glossy bronze red foliage and bloom like a cloud in August with creamy white flowers. For the future we have a Joe Pye weed with purple foliage. We are offering five new hosta, several coming from Hans Hansen’s breeding at Walters Gardens.After 19 years breeding, Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Love and Rockets’ PPAF is a dwarf red flowering fountain grass close in size and stature to ‘Hameln’. The reddish flowers combine nicely with the dark green foliage with red tips. ‘Yellow Ribbons’ our 2019 intro looked great at every trial site I saw it in. Next year we will introduce a broad leaved form with yellow foliage. Think ‘All Gold’ for full sun. Salvia nemorosa ‘Sixteen Candles’ PPAF has less branched upright flowers. The pink flowers are backed up by purple and violet calyxes and stems adding depth and contrast. We’re pleased to offer five new sedums. Sedum rupestre ‘Angelina’s Teacup’ PPAF is new from Chris Hansen of Garden Solutions and is a tight non-flowering improvement on ‘Angelina’ with gold foliage throughout the year, plus a variegated purple foliage sedum called ‘Dream Dazzler’. Intrinsic Introductions, Sedum sexangulare ‘Yellowstone’ PPAF is a more robust and bright improvement on ‘Golddigger’ and Sedum album ‘Nerds’ is a low groundcover with interesting orange to russet red color from winter into spring. I’m pleased that Sedum x ‘Pride and Joy’ PPAF will become our fourth Proven Winners perennial. It’s a deeper pink sport of ‘Pure Joy’ and has the same great dome shaped habit, 1’ tall by 15-20” wide. Our 2008 intro Polemonium x ‘Heaven Scent’ will also become a Proven Winners perennial this year, making it our fifth perennial along with the annual Salvia elegans ‘Golden Delicious’ for a total of six plants in the program. Finally, Veronicastrum virginicum ‘Queen of Diamonds’ was selected for extra clean, dark green foliage. After the soft pink flowers in late summer, the upright 4’ plants stand chocolate brown all winter long.Our 6th Annual Ornamental Grasses Day is Friday September 18th, 2020 when our ornamental grasses will be at their peak.
