Rhododendron - Vulcan's Flame
The Rhododendron 'Vulcan's Flame', 'Rhododendron 'Vulcans Flame’ is a vigorous, easy to grow plant with a broad, rounded habit. The fiery red flowers appear against the dark green foliage in late spring. It matures to 5 feet tall and 6 feet wide. Rhododendrons are shallow rooting so they require regular watering during the summer or during hot spells. To create a full, well-shaped shrub, pinch-off the new growth for the first few years. Vulcan’s Flame is an easy care rhododendron that needs excellent drainage, mulching and a peat moss soil additive. Roots will rot in poorly drained soil, so well-drained soil is a must! Established plants can benefit from fertilization. The Vulcan is heat and sun tolerant. An ideal location in colder zones is an area with filtered shade and some winter protection. If you want a red flowering rhododendron, this one is it!

Mugho Pine - Pumilo - DetailsMugho Pine - Pumilo - Sale Price: $39.95
Mugho Pine - Pumilo, Pinus mugo 'Pumilio', is a popular dwarf conifer that is rugged, hardy and has dark green needles on dense branches; makes an ideal choice for xeriscaping or for the moisture-conserving landscape. Pumilo is a useful slow growing evergreen for rock gardens, mass plantings and in groupings; a great container plant too. In order for it to maintain its excellent form, texture, and color detail in the garden, this Dwarf Mugo Pine needs full sun and prefers dry to average moisture levels with very well-drained soil. It will die in standing water. Prune candles to keep tight and maintain a dense habit of growth. It tends to fill out right to the ground so doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front. Mugho Pine is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This is a rather low maintenance shrub and if pruning is necessary, it is recommended to only trim back the new growth of the current season, other than to remove any dieback. Mugho Pine grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions, can be expected to live for 50 years or more. * Evergreen! * Long-Lived! * Low maintenance!
