At Estabrook's we strive to bring you something new each season and work hard to select the best of the latest varieties being offered of not only your favorite plants, but ones we think are compelling and hardy enough to carry.

This year, we're proud to announce a number of new perennials that we think will provide you with a fresh new look in your garden this spring while offering textural interest and vivid blooms. Among the new selections, I've highlighted a few varieties that I think you'll especially enjoy:

	Primula x 'Elizabeth Killelay' A dramatic and distinctive variety producing many fragrant double flowers from June to July, 'Elizabeth Killelay' is formed from rosettes of deep-burgundy petals edged in gold and green quilted rosettes of foliage.
	Heuchera villosa 'Caramel' A very strong grower with large leaves, the star of this variety is its glowing copper-caramel foliage with red undersides. Cream flowers rise up to 24" in July to August to finish off this exciting addition.
	Phlox paniculata 'Sherbet Cocktail' This breakthrough Phlox is the first to show yellow in its petals. The smallish pink and white flowers with green-yellow edges emerge from yellow buds encased in chocolate-maroon bracts.
