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:
 |
Alyssum 'River of Gold' 'River of Gold' is a very compact and early flowering variety that features bright golden yellow flower clusters in April on mounded plants of silvery-green foliage. |
 |
Astilbe chinensis 'Milk and Honey' The gorgeous, creamy white, fluffy blooms of 'Milk and Honey' turn light pink as they age to create a soft bi-color effect. Deep green clumps of serrated foliage with slight marbling also appears during this plant's youth. |
 |
Paeonia x 'Julia Rose' Huge single to semi-double light red blooms appear from late May to June and mature to orange before finally aging to yellow. A cross between the traditional peony and the tree peony, this plant holds its flowers upright on strong stems. |
 |
Thalictrum x 'Splendide' Large, airy flower trusses of light purple emerge in late May to June. The individual flowers have cream stamens and are carried on red-purple stems over foliage that is light gray-green and resembles maiden hair fern. |
