Bluebeard - Arthur J. Simmonds
The Arthur J. Simmonds Bluebeard, Caryopteris x clandonensis 'Arthur J. Simmonds', is perhaps the hardiest of bluebeards! It displays powdery light blue flowers that are produced in late summer when few other shrubs bloom. It makes a shapely rounded bush, and its light colored lance-shaped leaves visually blur with the blue of the flowers. Before flowering, Arthur J. Simmonds makes a fine foliaged, formal shape that combines well with golden grasses. This is a relatively small shrub that will die back to the ground during the winter. It is suggested that this bluebeard be cut back to the ground to enhance production of new wood on which the flowers will be borne. Fall Bloom! Zones 5-9

Heather - Lady in White - DetailsHeather - Lady in White - Sale Price: $51.35
Heather - Lady in White, Calluna vulgaris 'Lady in White', is a summer flowering budblooming heather that is upright and branching. The Lady in White offers a profusion of lovely bright pink-rose blooms from late August until November! Attracting butterflies and hummingbirds, Lady in White has lovely fragrant flowers that look outstanding in borders, as groundcovers, in containers, or in rock gardens. Callunas grow and flower best in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Good drainage is very important since they are liable to get root diseases if growing in wet spots. Prune by cutting branches below the flowers in fall or in early spring in colder zones. It requires full sun and acid loving fertile well drained soil that is humus rich. Lady in White is a budbloomer which means that it is a form of Calluna in which the flowers never develop beyond the bud stage, but as a result, keep their color for a long period. Zones 5-7 * Late Summer Bloomer!

The Golden Ninebark, Physocarpus opulifolius 'Luteus', is grown for its beautiful yellow-green foliage which lights up the garden.

The leaves are initially yellow, and when grown in full sun they gradually change to yellowish green or light green. The yellow foliage color intensifies again before falling in autumn. Golden Ninebark grows best with regular watering and protection from the hottest sun. Use this plant in the landscape as a border or background for perennial or annual flower beds or in foundation plantings of larger buildings. The Golden Ninebark is a fast grower and new shoots can be cut and used in floral arrangements. As with most ninebarks, it has attractive exfoliating bark and attractive fruits for 4 season interest. This plaant is not fussy about soil types and pH levels. Add Color to the Landscape!  

Boxwood - Commones - DetailsBoxwood - Commones - Sale Price: $38.95
The Boxwood, Common, Buxus sempervirens, forms a large shrub or small tree and most people know it as a small, densely-leaved, evergreen hedge. It is a densely branched, slow-growing shrub with numerous small, smooth-edged leaves. They are usually dark green and shiny, remaining on the shrub all winter. It prefers full sun to partial shade. For best results, mulch to keep root system cool and moist. Common Boxwood does well in alkaline soils; the evergreen foliage needs to be protected from drying winds in winter. Boxwoods can be sheared into just about any shape and respond well to harsh pruning. This shrub is ideal for formal hedges and topiary. It is a good border plant and an excellent choice for foundation plantings.

Yew - Densiformis - DetailsYew - Densiformis - Sale Price: $64.25
The Dens Yew, or Yew Densiformis, 'Taxus x media 'Densiformis', is one of the most popular evergreen shrubs today. This very popular yew is a rapid grower with a spreading habit and fluffy bright deep green needles. The new growth emerges as a brighter green and eventually matures to deep green. With a plant height of 4’ and a width of 6’, the dark green foliage adds color to every garden; foliage will turn a nice red to burgundy color in the fall. It is best to plant in full shade in a moist area because it is intolerant of poor drainage; can be damaged if exposed to excessive winter sun and wind. Not only is it a low maintenance shrub, but Densidormis is tolerant to deer, pollution, rabbits and seashore breezes.  Dens Yew is an amazing evergreen that should not to be left out of any landscape!
