**Plantings**
* **Hebe** (*Hebe spp.*) low-growing *H.* ‘Youngii’ (syn. ‘Carl Teschner’) and purple-hued *H.* ‘Amy’. Hardy to Zone 7. In colder areas, a similar texture can be had with stonecrops (Sedum spp.).
* **Tree peony** (*Paeonia suffruticosa* ‘Kinkaku’). Unlike herbaceous peonies, tree peonies develop a woody, shrublike framework. Zone 6, possibly 5.
* ***Rhododendron campylogynum***. This tiny-leafed treasure is covered with little pinky-purple bells in spring. Zone 6.
* **Daylily** (*Hemerocallis* ‘Princess Towilla’). A specialty daylily, it is adorned with regal orange flowers in summer. Zone 4.
* **Allium** (*Allium schubertii*). Its unusual flowerheads are very long-lasting. Zone 6.
* **Black bugbane** (*Actaea* ‘Black Negligee’). Stunning dark foliage sets off its purple-tinged white flowers. Zone 5.

I loved this issue! Unfortunately, it is out at my local public library and I can't place a hold. Can you advise which issue this was in order for me to backorder it?
Thanks kindly,
