Boxwood - Green Mountain
Boxwood - Green Mountain, Buxus 'Green Mountain', is an upright, evergreen shrub with an unusual pyramidal growth habit. Small, dark green leaves seems to hold good green color much better than most boxwoods through the winter months. It requires cool, moist soil conditions, and it maintains its shape with very little pruning. Fertilization is recommended in the spring and soil should be kept moist, but not wet, especially during the growing season. Full sun produces best growth for Green Mountain, but it can tolerate partial shade. It flowers in spring, but it is grown for its handsome foliage. Use as hedging or topiary, or in a border. Looks great in a container as well! Green Mountain has good cold hardiness and is a fast growing boxwood when young. Zones 5-8. * Low Maintenance Plant!

Quince - Spreading - DetailsQuince - Spreading - Sale Price: $57.05
Quince - Spreading, Chaenomeles japonica, is an adaptable, easy to grow deciduous thornless shrub that does best in full sun. Also referred to as the Japanese Flowering Quince, this shrub is tolerant of dry soils, and periodic pruning improves bloom. This sprawling plant has crowded gnarled branches and a low crooked habit. Old canes and suckers can be removed every year. The Spreading Quince needs ample room to ramble, so make sure other plants are not nearby that will be affected by its spreading habit. It has dark green foliage and pink to white flowers that appear in late spring or early summer. The leaves are untoothed, dark green above, and pale with a dense felt of grey wool beneath (especially when young). They turn a rich yellow in autumn. The fruits are light golden-yellow, green or orange, usually pear shaped, but sometimes round and apple-shaped. A quince is delicious stewed, baked, made into fruit butter and should not be eaten raw-- almost anything that can be done with apples can be done with quinces!
