Spiraea - Anthony Waterer - Sale Price: $28.95 The Spirea 'Anthony Waterer', Spiraea x bumalda 'Anthony Waterer', has flat-topped heads of rosy-pink flowers that cover the top of this dwarf shrub.  The flowers offer a striking contrast against the bright green foliage. The foliage is deciduous, and at first the leaves are a wine-red to maroon ,then in the fall, they mature into a dark green. Anthony Waterer Spirea is extremely variable in its variegation pattern since the leaves are willow-like and often variegated. This spirea is best suited to full sun conditions.  It is not particular about soil type but, like most shrubs, grows faster and blooms more profusely in richer soil. Not only is the Anthony Waterer plant summer flowering, it is also small of stature and fits nicely in the smaller landscapes we use today.   This small plant adds a new dimension and color when planted in the foreground of shrub borders. * Small in stature * Colorful variegated foliage * Low maintenance

Holly - Carissa - Sale Price: $64.25 The Holly 'Carissa', Ilex cornuta 'Carissa', is an outstanding dwarf and a dense grower. The leaves are dark glossy green with one spine at the tip. It is well suited for planting along a foundation, and it is excellent for use as a low hedge or in mass plantings. This 'Carissa' does not produce berries. 'Carissa' grows best in rich, well-drained, slightly acid soil, and does well in full sun or part shade. The plant is very drought tolerant, requiring little, if any, irrigation once established in the landscape. Fertilize once or twice to maintain good leaf color and adequate growth. This plant is often used on commercial landscape jobs where it is planted in mass in traffic islands, or planted in beds. If this plant is used as a hedge, prune the plant so it is wider at the bottom than at the top. This allows for light to get in to the bottom foliage and this will help keep the leaves from thinning. The Carissa prefers a pH of 5.0 to 6.5. Zones 6-9.
