Lilac - Marie Francis
Lilac - Marie Francis, Syringa vulgaris 'Marie Frances', is a real treat because it produces fragrant pink flowers, and with pink lilacs among all the blue-lavender-purple, this is very unusual! The lovely flowers emerge from distinctive, rich pink buds in spring on a compact form. It has bluish-green foliage throughout the season and is a very hardy plant that tends to sucker. The heart-shaped leaves do not develop any appreciable fall color. ‘Marie Francis’ needs full sun and well-drained soil, and it also requires room for air movement; will tolerate poor soil conditions and harsh winters. The ‘Marie Francis’ shrub must have regular care and upkeep, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season's flowers. It is a good choice for attracting butterflies to your yard, and is an attractive plant for shrub borders, a garden accent plant, or planted in mass for a flowering hedge or wind screen; excellent for cutting too!

Barberry - Crimson Pygmy - DetailsBarberry - Crimson Pygmy - Sale Price: $39.95
Like ‘Concorde,’ Crimson Pygmy is naturally small in stature, just about two feet tall and perhaps three feet wide. It has all of the characteristics you love in a landscape shrub: resistance to disease, deer and insects, and perhaps best of all, considering it’s a prickly plant, no pruning, unless you want to treat it as a topiary or downsize it. Excellent in the landscape border, in Japanese-themed gardens or as a frame for water features. Plant Crimson Pygmy against golds, yellows and deep greens for stark contrast, or as a companion to anything in the pink/rose spectrum for sheer beauty. Full sun, regular watering and soil that’s a bit on the acid side will serve this shrub well. After its root system is large and well established, it will only need watering during periods of drought. Zones 4-8.

Spirea - Norman - DetailsSpirea - Norman - Sale Price: $51.35
Norman Spirea, spiraea japonica 'Norman', is a dwarf and compact spirea with intense rosy pink flowers on a background of mint green foliage. It displays a raspberry-purple to red fall color, lasting approximately one month. ‘Norman’ is easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. This plant prefers full sun and tolerates a wide range of soils.   Remove faded flower clusters to prolong additional bloom, and it is best to prune in late winter to early spring. The plant also likes mulch and summer watering. Since this plant grows only 3 feet tall and as wide, ‘Norman’ is effective in the border, cottage garden or as a low, informal hedge. It is attractive to butterflies and has no serious disease or insect problems. * Fall color * Attracts butterflies * Dwarf variety

Quince - Spreading - DetailsQuince - Spreading - Sale Price: $57.05
Quince - Spreading, Chaenomeles japonica, is an adaptable, easy to grow deciduous thornless shrub that does best in full sun. Also referred to as the Japanese Flowering Quince, this shrub is tolerant of dry soils, and periodic pruning improves bloom. This sprawling plant has crowded gnarled branches and a low crooked habit. Old canes and suckers can be removed every year. The Spreading Quince needs ample room to ramble, so make sure other plants are not nearby that will be affected by its spreading habit. It has dark green foliage and pink to white flowers that appear in late spring or early summer. The leaves are untoothed, dark green above, and pale with a dense felt of grey wool beneath (especially when young). They turn a rich yellow in autumn. The fruits are light golden-yellow, green or orange, usually pear shaped, but sometimes round and apple-shaped. A quince is delicious stewed, baked, made into fruit butter and should not be eaten raw-- almost anything that can be done with apples can be done with quinces!

Its place is front and center in the shrub border, patio garden, or your best container. Cityline™ Venice only reaches 1 to 3 feet in height and has a neat, tight habit so pruning is never required. Like all the Citylines™, it was bred for stronger stems to hold its large, heavy flowerhead. 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. Zones 5-9. * Strong stems hold-up the heavy flowers!
