New Jersey Tea
New Jersey Tea, Ceanothus ''Marie Bleu™', is an outstanding compact plant that is covered with loads of misty blue flower heads in late spring. Once flowing is finished, attractive red seed heads appear, adding another season of garden interest. 'Marie Bleu' is truly garden worthy. Marie Bleu is well adapted to most any garden soil, so long as it is not too wet. It is tolerant of drought once it is established. Shear lightly after blooming to produce a stronger rebloom. Prune in late fall or early spring. In Northern states, this plant may dieback to the ground though roots are hardy and the plant will recover in time to flower. The name New Jersey tea probably came from the use of these plants dried leaves. Allegedly, this was a popular tea in the Revolutionary War. The New Jersey Tea plant is highly adaptable to various soils and is quite drought tolerant due to its massive, deep root system. There is always space for New Jersey Tea in any landscape, and it will look terrific in yours as well!

Lilac - Common White - DetailsLilac - Common White - Sale Price: $37.95
The Common White Lilac, Syringa Vulgaris, is well-known and loved by gardeners all over the world for its beauty and fragrance. This fragrance is one of the most powerful fragrances emitted by a plant. This deciduous shrub is used as a hedge or as an individual accent plant.

Lilacs can withstand severely cold winters (even -35 degrees C) and in fact the species does not grow well in areas without significant frost in wintertime. Although it’s been recreated for perfumes and candles, nothing compares to the scent of fresh Lilac. The fragrance is captivating; literally spring will be in the air for weeks, if not months. Plant the Common White Lilac next to Common Purple Lilac for outstanding color contrast!
