Notable Additions to Our 2025 Program

Every year we introduce over 50 new cultivars to our active production. Each one has a good reason behind it, but several cultivars stand head and shoulders above the rest. Here’s a quick rundown of our most interesting additions. These plants can be ordered through your favorite broker or through the Creek Hill shopping cart. We also accept orders directly via email or phone.

Anemone 'Puff Pink'

When Anemones go double, they have the thick, spade-like petals of the single form. 'Puff Pink' is truly novel. Very narrow and curled petals crowd around the eye for a pom-pom style, something we haven't seen in an Anemone before. Color is strongest when blooms emerge, then silver touches creep in as they age.

Hydrangea 'Early Evolution'

A teacup shrub, 'Early Evolution' is not a florist Hydrangea, but a paniculata Hydrangea dwarfed down to the size of a herbaceous perennial. In the canopy, white flowers age very slowly to pink over the course of the summer. It happens to flower early, starting in late May or early June.

Two Eupatoriums

On the left is 'Jojo', a double Eupatorium that shows off fluffy big blooms in rosy colors. Since the flower is sterile, the flowers last longer as well, often to a hard frost. Found in a flat of fistulosum and saved by John Courtney, an owner of Kind Earth Growers.

On the right is 'Little Pye', a very short version that grows only 12-18 inches tall with a dense and round habit. By contrast, standard cultivars usually reach 3-4 feet, thin and tall. It retains Eupatorium's wonderful tolerance to wet areas, so it can solve soggy spots over clay soils.

Polemonium 'Hurricane Ridge'

What a beast of a Polemonium! 'Hurricane Ridge' makes a show with its sheer size and textured foliage. A very hardy northwestern perennial, it also comes equipped with a heavy dose of the Polemonium light blue flowers. Takes sun much better than other varieties.

Echinacea Sunseekers 'Mineola'

We've been impressed with the Sunseeker doubles as a series. They show the new double-ring style of coneflower, very different from the older style of fluffy pom-poms. The orange version belongs to Echinacea Sunseekers 'Mineola'.

Salvia Feathers 'Peacock'

Half of the story with Salvia Feathers 'Peacock' are the oversized spikes that bloom earlier in the season. Color crowded onto the spires because the small florets are jam-packed up and down the stems. Their "jaws" are oversized, giving it flowerhead a more rugged look.

The other half of Salvia Feathers 'Peacock' is found in the foliage. The thistle-like leaves are soft to the touch. The foliage is heavily incised with serrations deep towards the stem and down to the crown. It gives the plant an Alice-like airy and un-Saliva habit.

Aster 'Thundercloud'

The habit is as important as the flower itself with Aster 'Thunderdome'. Usually tall Asters have an amorphous, columnar shape. Not 'Thunderdome'. It's rounded in the garden like a fall mum. The second feature would be a light scent that appears when the leaves are crushed.

Two New Dicentras

Totally different from the classic bleeding heart, Dicentra Amore 'Titanium' has a small habit with blue and fern-like foliage. The blooms bunch together in clusters on the stem. Much more drought tolerant, so it actually likes the sun.

A spectabilis-type in the classic bleeding heart style, Dicentra ''White Gold' is the alba flower in gold foliage. People love the chartreuse leaves in shady gardens. Pairs well with sisters 'Ruby Gold' (red) and 'Gold Heart' (pink).
