Hepatica acutiloba LIVERLEAF Ushering in spring with bouquets of blue, violet and pink flowers, this charming little native is a great addition to the sunnier woodland garden. Due to its small stature plants show best when planted in mass or among the rock garden. Hepaticas native habitat consists of rich wooded soils often around limestone.

Heptacodium miconioides SEVEN-SON FLOWER Originally collected by Ernest Wilson in 1907 from the mountains of southern China, it was somewhat forgotten until a recent expedition back into that area in the 1980’s. Seed’s of this small tree were collected and it is now becoming readily available in cultivation. Offering multiple seasons of interest. In late summer, fragrant, white, jasmine like flowers branch in terminal clusters of seven. After a stunning floral display berries are formed surrounded by cherry red petallike leaves (calyces). In winter, exfoliating bark reveals a light nutmeg brown inner bark. Heptacodium has been called “The Crepe Myrtle of the North”.

Heuchera ALUM ROOT These plants have woody roots that slowly spread to form dense clumps of rounded leaves. Useful in the border or woodland garden and as an edging or ground cover. Numerous wiry stems arise holding tiny bell shaped flowers. Various kinds are particularly enjoyed as cut flowers. Many forms are available having evergreen leaves that may be silver mottled, marbled or beautifully tinted gray silver or bronze purple. Thrive in moist fertile soil. H. 'Palace Purple' has deep purple foliage in spring and fall, fading in hot summers to bronze green.

Heucherella (x) FOAMY BELLS A rare hybrid between the two genera, Heuchera and Tiarella. Long and profusely blooming plants that often re-bloom in autumn. Site in average to rich soils that do not dry out in summer. Attractive heuchera-like rich green mottled leaves have reddish bronze veins. Can be slow to establish; however, it is worth the wait.

Hibiscus cocccineus SCARLET ROSE MALLOW Handsome native wetland plant with leaves 5 to 6 in. wide having 3, 5 or 7 jagged narrow lobes deeply cut and slightly toothed. Red, funnel shaped flowers are 5 to 6 in. wide. Hibiscus (x) (Hybrids) ROSE MALLOW These large perennial flowers are as strong as they are tall and they support with ease their impressive flowers of pink shades, red and white. The native H. moscheutos (palustris) MARSH MALLOW is common in NJ wetlands, with large 6 in. flowers mixing the three colors on plants that grow in clumps. These Hibiscus all prefer wet sites and rich soil, but will thrive in average moist gardens as well.

Hosta PLANTAIN LILY Extremely useful and long-lived plants, growing best in deep, moisture retentive soil containing humus. Foliage of diverse color and character is generally larger when grown in denser shade. When grown in a brighter position, plants tend to be a bit more compact and flower freely, but require more moisture. Semi-shade to full bright shade is preferred, and siting as such will help preserve the color of blue leafed hostas. The blue coloring comes from a waxy coating that fades away over the season with exposure to rain, heat and sun. A wide range of heights, color, variegations, leaf shape and texture are available to accent that specific area, including flower color and sometimes fragrance.
