Juniper - Blue Star
Blue Star Juniper, Juniperus squamata 'Blue Star', displays a rich steel-blue foliage color that is extremely attractive on this low growing mounded plant. The starry foliage creates an excellent addition to the foundation landscape planting. Very adaptable and tolerates dry soils. Blue Star typically grows to only 1 foot tall after 5 years, but eventually matures over time to 2-3' high. Features awl-shaped, silver blue foliage which is attractive year-round. It is easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerant of a wide variety of soils and some drought, but intolerant of the hot and humid conditions of the deep South. Junipers are important evergreens for landscape use due to their tolerance of unfavorable soil conditions, their hardiness and great variation in size, habit, color and growth rate. Junipers are used as ground covers, in foundation plantings, or as hedges, screens or windbreaks. These plants may also be utilized for background plantings in shrub beds or flower gardens, as specimen plants, in rock gardens or for topiary or espalier purposes.

Forsythia - Citrus Swizzle - DetailsForsythia - Citrus Swizzle - Sale Price: $51.35
The Forsythia 'Citrus Swizzle' is an excellent variegated form of dwarf Forsythia selected by Dan Moore of McKay Nursery Company. The foliage emerges chartreuse, with lime green variegation in the center of the leaf, which then ages to a creamy white and finally white. A nice brightly colored, dwarf selection suitable for today's landscapes. Citrus Swizzle is an excellent, slow growing plant for edging or the front of the shrub or perennial border. Great used in mass plantings. Citrus Swizzle prefers a sunny location for the best leaf color, in most any soil. Little pruning is required except to remove any slightly more vigorous upright shoots, on occasion. You can remove the oldest stems to renew older plants when desired. Fall color comes on slow, and is a nice burgundy! Zones 4-9. * Dwarf!

Like all the Citylines™, it was bred for stronger stems to hold its large, heavy flowerhead. It has a neat, tight habit so pruning is never required. Large beautiful blooms are great for dried or cut flowers. It requires full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Moisture is a necessity for this plant.

Barberry - Concorde - DetailsBarberry - Concorde - Sale Price: $32.95
Commonly known as Japanese Barberry, this compact little shrub’s burgundy-colored foliage is a dramatic —and welcome— contrast in a landscape dominated by green everything-else. ‘Concorde’ has very small teardrop-shaped leaves on thorny branches which form an orderly round plant that tops out at not much more than a couple of feet. Use ‘Concorde’ as a foundation planting or berm or border edging, and in any number of other small, sunny spaces where you need a plant of a different color. Full sun keeps the leaves their pretty royal purple color, which will gently turn deep red in the fall, and through the winter you’ll be treated to lovely red berries. A slightly acidic soil will benefit this slow-growing, pest-free shrub (which is also hypo-allergenic and resistant to deer, drought and disease). To tilt the pH, just tap a few nails into the soil under the shrub canopy. Pruning is only required to change its shape or overall size. Zones 4-8. There is always space for Concorde in any landscape, and it will look terrific in yours as well. Plant in full sun.
