Boxwood - Winter Gem
Evergreen Shrub with Creative Possibilities  The Winter Gem Boxwood is an evergreen shrub.  It would make a lovely backdrop for a perennial bed or a creative stand-alone accent in a floral bed.   The key word with the Winter Gem Boxwood is versatility.  Your Boxwood is a petite shrub that only grows to about 4 feet in height, but packs a lot of value into that little package. Full, compact and naturally rounded, your Boxwood is lovely in its natural state.  However, you can also make it into anything you like.  Prune it into a conical shape, a boxy hedge or indulge your topiary skills to make it resemble a small giraffe.  The possibilities are endless.    Your Boxwood begins the spring with a light green tone, its small oval leaves gradually changing over to a rich dark green hue that is glossy in the sunshine.  You won’t notice the tiny yellow spring flowers it produces, but will enjoy the buzzing bees that come in for a visit.   Your Boxwood’s possibilities are only as limited as your creativity. Leave it to its natural beauty, prune as a hedge or create a one-of-a-kind attraction for your yard. Whatever you prefer, the Boxwood will certainly meet your expectations.   * Cold Hardy * Low Maintenance * Easy to shape

Heather - Sandy - DetailsHeather - Sandy - Sale Price: $51.35
The Scotch Heather, Calluna vulgaris 'Sandy', is a mutation of the variety 'Melanie' and its bright yellow foliage resists the sun well. Sandy is a low-growing perennial evergreen ground cover or low shrub for sun; blooms during late summer. It is upright and wide, and has pure white, very resistant buds between September to December. The masses of white flower buds never open thereby remaining colorful from August until hard frost! Superb for alpine, rock or trough gardens. Sandy 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. It requires full sun and acid loving fertile well drained soil that is humus rich. Zones 5-7. * Great for rock gardens!
