Holly - Dwarf Burford
The Dwarf Holly 'Burford', Ilex cornuta 'Burfordii Nana', is a more compact and slower growing form of Burford, having the same characteristics, except the leaves are smaller. 'Dwarf Burford' is best used in the landscape, as a specimen, an accent plant, or as a wind break; often planted beneath windows, where its slow growth and shorter stature makes it attractive from indoors and out. In the spring this plant produces clusters of fragrant white flowers. Later in the summer berry-like fruits develop. The colorful red berry is very showy in the fall. The berries persist on the bush for a long time, or until the birds eat them. This plant needs regular watering; weekly, or more often in extreme heat. Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. For a tidy, neat appearance, shear annually to shape. The Dwarf Burford attracts birds and it is deer resistant. Zones 6-9. * Fall Color!

Spiraea - Shibori - DetailsSpiraea - Shibori - Sale Price: $51.35
The Spiraea Shibori, Spiraea japonica 'Shirobana', develops into a small, upright, attractive, amd deciduous shrub that bears unusual multi-colored flower clusters. It is a well-branched plant with flowers forming flat clusters by mid-June, ranging from a mixed pink to white. This dense, mounded shrub has medium-green leaves that are oval and toothed. Thriving in a wide range of soils in sun or light shade, Shibori Spiraea is highly versatile and an ornamental that works well in mass plantings, mixed borders, and low informal hedges. It is best to deadhead spent flowers to encourage prolonged secondary bloom and to prevent self-sowing. Prune back plants and remove weak and dead stems in early spring to promote strong healthy new growth and larger more abundant flower heads. Shibori is the perfect plant for spicing up northern native plant landscapes and wild garden woodlands; also use in containers or for foundation plants.

Rhododendron - Holden - DetailsRhododendron - Holden - Sale Price: $96.95
The Rhododendron 'Holden', Rhododendron 'Holden', is a compact growing Rhododendron with glossy dark green foliage. The narrow leaves remain dark green throughout the winter. Its rosy-red funnel-shaped flowers bloom midseason and are held in conical-shaped trusses. The flowers are lightly scented. 'Holden' loves to be planted with pre-moistened peat moss, and well-drained soil is a must!! The rhododendron root system is quite fibrous, compact and shallow; roots will rot in poorly drained soil, and this plant will not do well in windy sites. This plant is very fussy about soil conditions and it must have rich, acidic soils to ensure a healthy plant! Consider apply a thick mulch around the root zone in colder climates. Holden is a relatively low maintenance shrub and should be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any current season’s flowers. It likes sun, but requires afternoon sun protection. Consider this rhododendron as a part of the landscape and plant it in a border or foundation planting with other shrubs.
