Weeping Forsythia
Forsythia suspensa

Weeping forsythia forms large deciduous bush with arching canes. Full sun for best flowering. Any soil. Grows 8-10' tall x 10-15' wide. One of the first plants to bloom in the spring. Blooms bright yellow 1-2" flowers along canes before leafing out. Blooms on previous year's growth. Prune immediately after blooming finishes so as to not cut off canes that will bloom the following spring. Hardy to zone 5. Makes a great hedge screen, cascading over walls, or on slopes. Very easy to transplant and to root.

Ipomoea nil
SCARLET O'HARA MORNING GLORY
SEEDS
(Ipomoea nil 'Scarlett O'Hara')

Description:

This gorgeous 8-10 foot climbing vine is perfect for the mailbox, fence, or trellis!
Blooms are 4 inches across, deep red colored, have a velvety texture, and are held wide-open... Scarlet O'Hara will wow them!

They bloom in abundance in summer and fall, opening in the morning and closing by late afternoon. This vine is fast-growing, vigorous, easy to grow, and drought tolerant.
Morning glories can be direct-sown, but if you want even earlier blooms, start the seeds ahead indoors.

It can tolerate a bit of shade--though blazing sun is its preference--and is especially useful in dry soils, where other plants have not been content.

Salvia unknown
This plant takes full sun to perform at its best. It will take almost any well drained soil except heavy clay, and will not tolerate wet winter conditions. It is drought tolerant after it is well established and very hardy in zones 5-8 for sure. It forms a 2-foot tall by 3-foot wide bush with woody stems that may be trimmed back to newly emerging growth or strong stems in spring. In early to mid-summer, it sends up purple flower spikes. Under ideal conditions this salvia may self-sow seeds in fall if seed heads are left on the plants. Seedlings are easily removed in the spring and can be moved if desired in another location.

LAMBS EAR

(Stachys byzantina)

SEEDS

From Wikipedia:
Stachys byzantina (syn. S. lanata; Lamb's-ear or Lamb's Ear) is a species of Stachys, native to Turkey, Armenia, and Iran. It is cultivated over much of the temperate world as an ornamental plant, and is naturalised in some locations as an escape from gardens. Plants are very often found under the synonym Stachys lanata or Stachys olympica.

Lamb's Ear flowers in late spring and early summer, plants produce tall spike-like stems with a few reduced leaves. The flowers are small and either white or pink. The plants tend to be evergreen but can "die" back during cold winters and regenerate new growth from the crowns. In warmer climates they may grow year-round, but suffer where it's hot and humid. They are easy to grow, preferring partial shade to full sunlight and well-drained soils not rich in nitrogen.

Description -

Perennial herbs usually densely covered with gray or silver-white, silky-lanate hairs. They are named lambs ears because of the curved shape and white, soft, fur like hair coating. Flowering stems are erect, often branched, and tend to be 4-angled, growing 40-80 cm tall. The leaves are thick and somewhat wrinkled, densely covered on both sides with gray-silver colored, silky-lanate hairs, the under sides more silver-white in color than the top surfaces. The leaves arranged oppositely on the stems and 5 to 10 cm long. Leaf petioles semiamplexicaul (the bases wrapping half way around the stem) with the basal leafs having blades oblong-elliptic in shape, measuring 10 cm long and 2.5 cm wide (though variation exists in cultivated forms), The leaf margins are crenulate but covered with dense hairs, the leaf apexes attenuate, gradually narrowing to a rounded point. The flowering spikes are 10-22 cm long, producing verticillasters that each have many flowers and are crowded together over most of the length on the spike-like stem. The leaves produced on the flowering stems are greatly reduced in size and subsessile, the lower ones slightly longer than the interscholastic and the upper ones shorter than the verticillasters. Leaf bracteoles linear to linear-lanceolate in shape and 6 mm long. The flowers have no pedicels (sessile) and the calyx is tubular-campanulate in shape, being slightly curved and 1.2 cm long. The calyx is glabrous except for the inside surface of the teeth, having 10-veins with the accessory veins inconspicuous. The 2-3 mm long calyx teeth are ovate-triangular in shape and are subequal or the posterior teeth larger, with rigid apices. Corollas with some darker purple tinted veins inside, 1.2 cm long with silky-lanate hairs but bases glabrous. The corolla tubes are about 6 mm long with the upper lip ovate in shape with entire margins; the lower lips are subpatent with the middle lobe broadly ovate in shape, lateral lobes oblong. The stamen filaments are densely villous from the base to the middle. Styles much exserted past the corolla. Immature nutlets with out hairs, brown in color and oblong in shape.

Cultivated over much of the temperate parts of the world and naturalized in some locations as an escapee from gardens.

Lamb's Ear is a commonly grown plant for children's gardens or used as an edging plant, in Brazil is also used as a edible herb, called Lambari, as they are easy to grow and the thick felt like leaves are fun to touch. It has sometimes been used as a medicinal plant. A number of cultivars exist including white flowering forms, plants with shorter habit and plants that do not bloom as much.
