p Our Breeding Philosophy POur plants are bred and selected in the tough conditions of the Midwest with hot humid summers and cold wet winters. We strive to breed plants not as a

means, but with an end in mind. Our goals are simple- improved, durable, ornamental garden plants for our own climate and the rest of the world! Our plants are bred to stand the test

of time, if they don’t survive or thrive in the garden why bother.

January 2021Despite the challenges of 2020, we had one of our best years. We continue to focus our attention on the plants we have found to be durable and valuable in the garden.

2021 will be my 30th year growing perennials. Here some of my favorite new introductions.

Allium x ‘Big Beauty’ PPAF is showy right from spring emergence. Wide gray-green foliage is substantial followed by 18-24” stems in July. Silvery buds open to soft pink 2”+ flower heads. Lobelia cardinalis ‘Pink Flame’ is a pink twist on the normally red cardinal flower. This new seed strain is vigorous, growing 3’- 4’ tall. Ideal conditions are moist yet drained soil. Monarda bradburiana ‘Midnight Oil’ PPAF is an exceptionally vigorous and disease-free selection. Chocolatey-red new growth remains clean of foliar diseases. Same soft pink flowers with wine red spots in June on 18” tall and wide plants. Rudbeckia x ‘Sweet as Honey’ PPAF is a new look in black eyed susans. Many small yellow flowers are held on upright stems over extra thin basal foliage. It is a perfect companion with short grasses. Rudbeckia x ‘American Gold Rush’ continues to be our top seller.

We have two new grass introductions. Andropogon gerardii ‘Holy Smoke’ PPAF has silvered gray foliage with nearly constant smoky purple to red highlights adding a constant complexity to it. It is very nice paired with Echinacea. One of our most exciting grass intros, Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Pure Energy’ PPAF, is a wide blade, gold foliage fountain grass. Extra bright gold foliage June-September on substantial 30’’+ plants. Reddish bottle brush flowers start in August. Both of these new grasses are being grown in Korea now, too. It looks very nice with ‘Love and Rockets’ PPAF, our short red fountain grass. John Friel called it a Hakonechloa ‘All Gold” for full sun. In 2020 Andropogon gerardii ‘Blackhawks’ was awarded an ISU award in the EU.

Sedum spurium ‘Rock Candy’ PPAF is bound to become a groundcover legend. For those looking for a short colorful foliage all year long, this is one to try. Red-purple foliage is both smaller and tighter on 2-3” tall plants with rose colored flowers in July just above.

Thank you for your continued support of my breeding. Here’s to staying healthy. Cheers!

Brent Horvath- Breeder
