Lilac - Minuet - Sale Price: $64.25 Spectacular Spring Fragrant Flowers on a Hardy Shrub The Minuet Lilac (Syringa 'Minuet') is a hardy shrub with outstanding spring flowers that are highly fragrant.  It would look spectacular in your yard planted as a hedge at the side of your house or as a focal point in your landscape. Plant them in rows near your house to enjoy the sweet scent of lilac wafting along on the evening breeze.  There’s nothing quite as breathtaking as the sight of a 5-8 foot tall rounded shrub overflowing with a profusion of soft, warm purple flowers.  The Minuet is an especially prolific lilac, so plan on snipping a few handfuls of the rich lavender panicles to fill your house with the lilac scent of spring each year. In the fall, the forest green foliage will turn a light yellow, adding further color to your autumn landscape. The Minuet actually prefers to be left alone, so a lack of pruning will allow for even more blooms.  It’s easy to care for and hardy in most soils and conditions.  It’s even tolerant of polluted urban settings.   Lilacs have long been considered a symbol of love, and having one in your yard will certainly evoke those warm feelings of home and hearth.  Your landscape won’t feel quite complete until a Lilac graces it. * Spring fragrant flowers* Hardy

Dogwood - Grey Twig - Sale Price: $57.05 The Gray Dogwood, 'Cornus racemosa', is a deciduous shrub which typically occurs in moist or rocky ground along streams, ponds, wet meadows, glade and prairie margins, thickets and rocky bluffs. It grows 10-15' tall and features white flowers borne in terminal racemes (hence the species name of racemosa) in late spring and grayish-green, elliptic to lance-shaped leaves (2-4 long). The foliage turns an interesting dusky purplish red in fall. Terminal stems holding the flowers are distinctively red and provide interesting contrast to the clusters of small white berries which form after the flowers have dropped. The red stem color is more easily seen after the fruits are gone, and red color often persists into early winter. Excellent when planted in groups and left alone to spread in naturalized areas or native plant gardens. Use this plant in shrub borders, along streams or ponds or near buildings or when planted as a screen. The Gray Dogwood can be particularly useful because of its ability to grow in poor soils. It is easily grown in average, medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Tolerant of city air pollution. Zones 2-8. * Fall Color * Wildlife Plant

Willow - Dappled - Sale Price: $59.95 The Dappled Willow, Salix Integra 'Hakuro-Nishiki', also known as Variegated Willow, is a small shrub that produces leaves that are variegated when they are young. The young branches grow out of the crown in all directions and will begin drooping slightly. This plant displays good winter interest with coral and red stems that contrasts with the landscape. Like all Willows, it thrives in moist soils. Prune in early spring to promote its elegant display and prune to promote variegated foliage. The Dappled Willow is a superb accent plant and it will be a focal point in beds and borders. The Variegated Willow is also used for foundation plantings, alongside water features and natural areas. Good in containers, also.

Privet - Cheyenne - Sale Price: $23.95 Fast-Growing and Hardy Shrub The Cheyenne Privet is a fast-growing, hardy shrub that can be pruned to any shape.  It’s perfect for your garden as a background plant or grow it as a trimmed hedge. The outstanding feature of this shrub is its ability to be pruned to almost any desired shape.  Whether you have a small spot between buildings you’d like to fill, or space for a privacy hedge around your pool, this hardy shrub can do the job.  You don’t even have to worry about the right time of year for pruning.  This shrub accepts pruning all year round. Everything about this shrub speaks of its strength. The branches are multi-stemmed, the complex structure adding durability.  Its dark green, lance-shaped leaves adhere to stiff upright branches.  Even though deciduous, the leaves are known to cling to the branches longer than most, so you’ll still have green color into early winter.  It doesn’t mind what type of soil you have or if it’s dry or moist.  If you’re in an urban environment, the Cheyenne can handle it.  It will thrive in sun or partial shade.  In almost any conditions, the Cheyenne seems to love it all.  It’s even fast-growing, and long-lived. If left un-pruned your Cheyenne can reach 8 feet in height with a 6 foot spread.  It will have scented white panicles of flowers in the spring and small, round black berries that persist into the winter.  Birds will appreciate your thoughtfulness for the extra winter treat. For an adaptable shrub you can prune and forget, the Cheyenne Privet is the perfect carefree choice. * Fast-growing* Hardy

Witch-hazel - Common - Sale Price: $64.25 The Common Witch-Hazel, Hamamelis virginiana, is extraordinary in its flowering habits. It flowers in late October to early December. Many times its slender yellow petals are the only signs of color in the dormant woods. Witch-hazel is pollinated by the winter moth. After pollination, the fruits become dormant for the winter, developing over the following growing season and maturing in the fall, 10-12 months after pollination. Seeds are dispersed by gravity, or are eaten and excreted by birds. Witch-hazel seeds germinate the following spring or enter the seed bank. Early growth is slow, and in fact remains slow throughout the life of the tree in its typical shady habitat. As individuals, witch-hazel probably does not live more than 100 years, but they reproduce from root sprouts, and clones may live for a very long time.
