Holly - China Boy
The Holly 'China Boy', Ilex X meserveae 'Mesdob', is an astonishingly fast, hardy grower. Its compact mounded form matures at 10 feet by 8 feet. Choose a sunny to partly sunny site with well-drained soil, making sure there is enough room for shrub to grow to its mature spread. It should be sheltered from winter sun and wind. Once 'China Boy' is established, usually by the third year, you only need to water in times of drought. The glossy green foliage takes to shearing and shaping well. 'China Boy' is truly an exceptional landscape plant since it is cold hardy and heat tolerant. Use this evergreen holly as a privacy hedge, a landscape specimen, accent plant, and this Holly also works well under power lines. The China Boy will pollinate the China Girl holly. China Boy is a vigorous pollinator and it will pollinate many China Girls if placed in close proximity. China Boy can be easily pruned. This plant prefers acidic soil. Add sulfur to soils that are too alkaline. Zones 4-9 * Fast-Growing!

Dogwood - Grey Twig - DetailsDogwood - 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
