Rose of Sharon - Blue Satin
Rose of Sharon - Blue Satin, Hibiscus syriacus 'Marina' (PP12,680), is a vigorous, bloom-happy shrub. It not only gives you plenty of flowers, but boasts the most beautiful coloring in the Hibiscus world, and just doesn't know when to quit! Blue Satin has larger flowers, better color, more branching, and gives an all-around longer show. You'll love these huge 3-inch blooms, with magenta throats, and an ivory center that complements the strong royal blue tone of the petals. The flowers are very uniform in color, too -- no washed out end-of-season blooms here! A moderate grower, it's also pollution-tolerant. Rose of Sharon prefers full sun and well-drained soil and is very tolerant of heat and drought. It is a fine choice for hot, dry spots where other shrubs are not happy. Keep it well watered during growth. Blue Satin does best in full sun, but light shade is acceptable, especially in far southern or southwestern climates. One's ability to shape Rose of Sharon also makes the shrub a prime candidate for hedges. It is a profuse bloomer and not only blooms late, but leafs out late, as well. You will love the blue flowers with the magenta throat!

Rhododendron - Ramapo - DetailsRhododendron - Ramapo - Sale Price: $51.35
Rhododendron - Ramapo, Rhododendron 'Ramapo', is a dense-growing evergreen shrub that has a very dwarf compact habit. Clusters of flowers are about 1 long, light violet-purple, no markings. Large trusses of the showy flowers are a beautiful contrast to the leaves. The bluish green foliage makes it an asset to the landscape all year around. Ramapo is very effective when a smaller accent is needed. If you have a small garden with little room for a large rhododendron - this dwarf rhodo may be for you! Rhododendrons are ornamental, acidic-soil loving broad-leaf evergreens. They grow best in partial shade. Plant in a location protected from strong winter winds. Ramapo loves to be planted with pre-moistened peat moss. Well drained soil is a must! Use in mass, group or specimen for shrub borders, mixed borders, woodland gardens and shade gardens. This dwarf is exceptional as a container-grown plant and bonsai. Ramapo also prefers cooler regions.

Sumac - Fragrant - DetailsSumac - Fragrant - Sale Price: $57.05
The Fragrant Sumac, Rhus aromatica, is a small shrub, most commonly encountered on limestone uplands, occasionally on acidic sites. It occasionally reaches tree size. Fragrant sumac is a pioneer species, establishing rapidly from seed after heavy disturbance, particularly fire. Like other sumacs, it forms clonal clumps, but not as extensively as the other species. Fragrant sumac is a short-lived pioneer, which reproduces from seed or clonally via root suckers. Seed production is moderately abundant, and seeds are dispersed by birds. Lifespan is about 20-30 years, though clones can live substantially longer. Fruit is important as winter bird food. This is an important deer browsing species. The fruits, steeped in cool water, yield a refreshing drink, like lemonade. Native Americans used the bark of all sumacs as an astringent, and leaves and bark can be used for tanning leather, due to the high tannin content.

Hydrangea - Citylineâ„¢ Venice - DetailsHydrangea - Citylineâ„¢ Venice - Sale Price: $85.65
Hydrangea - Cityline™ Venice, Hydrangea macrophylla 'Venice Raven' (PP10,928), has a natural dwarf habit and this lovely Bigleaf Hydrangea from Germany is compact and dense, with far more flowering stems than most others. It is small enough for containers or any tight spot. Cityline™ Venice is an attention-getter with giant fuchsia blooms and fresh, attractive green foliage. 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!

Lilac - Marie Francis - DetailsLilac - Marie Francis - Sale Price: $51.35
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!
