Flame Amur Maple
Small Maple with Spring and Fall Appeal This is a small Maple tree with lovely spring flowers and a showy fall display.  It would look spectacular planted along the street in front of your home or even as a container or patio tree. One of the great things about this small deciduous Maple is that you can grow it as a small tree or even a shrub.  There’s no need for a lot of room in order to have this tree grace your home, and it doesn’t demand any special care or concern. It rises 15-20 feet with a spread of 15-28 feet and a lovely rounded crown.  The Amur’s charmingly fragrant scent heralds the spring each year, and you’ll adore the clusters of dainty white/pale yellow flowers scattered among its branches.  The 3 inch leaves consisting of 3 lobes provide your tree with a vibrant bright green color throughout the summer.  There’s  no doubt that you’ll feel your anticipation rise as autumn approaches and your Amur spices up your yard with stunning shades of scarlet.  The seeds are a samara that begin with a reddish hue and turns a light tan.  They appear as seeds with tiny wings that enchant the viewer with their gentle manner of helicoptering along on the autumn breeze.  The Royal Horticultural Society in the UK has bestowed the “Award of Garden Merit” on this variety of Maple. When you give one a home you’re sure to agree that the Flame Amur is one of the best Maples available on the market today. * Hardy small Maple* Spring and fall appeal

Spiraea - Froebelii - DetailsSpiraea - Froebelii - Sale Price: $52.75
The Froebelii Spirea, Spiraea x bumalda, has new foliage that is purplish and contrasts nicely with the bright pink to red early summer flowers. It is a vigorous grower with purplish tips on the foliage in spring.  The leaves turn purple in fall for a striking color display. It is an upright, rounded shrub that is excellent as a small hedge, and when not in bloom, it is still an attractive neat plant. Thriving in most locations, Froebelii is easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun; tolerates light shade. Removing faded flower clusters encourages additional bloom. This spirea flowers on new wood, so prune in late winter to early spring if needed. ‘Froebelii’ is reported to have better heat and drought tolerance than most other cultivars. * Vigorous grower * Fall color * Heat and drought tolerant

Blackberry - Darrow - DetailsBlackberry - Darrow - Sale Price: $42.75
If you’ve ever picked and eaten wild blackberries, you know there’s nothing like their intense, deep, true blackberry flavor and aroma. The problem with wild blackberries is that they’re susceptible to rust and blight, and the fruits are often tiny, not to mention that you have to go find them. Start an easy-to-grow berry patch of your own with several ‘Darrow’ plants, and every summer (and often again in early fall) you’ll harvest huge, delectable berries with that same wild-picked taste, but minus the problems. This blackberry is hardy to zone 5, is ultra-vigorous and also self-pollinating. Choose a sunny, well-drained spot for your patch and amend the soil with compost. Keep ‘Darrow’ watered during dry spells, mulch well and prune regularly, and it will produce in top form for many years. Make indescribably delicious cobblers, crisps, pies, jam, jelly, syrup, liqueurs and wine at a fraction of the cost of store-bought berries. The antioxidant health benefits alone are reason enough to plant these beauties! Zones 5-8.

This cultivar is a sterile triploid that produces very few if any seed pods. Aphrodite is an excellent flowering shrub that may be massed, planted in groups, or used as a specimen.
