St Johnswort - Ames
The Ames St Johnswort, Hypericum kalmianum 'Ames', often commonly called Kalm St Johnswort, is an evergreen shrub or subshrub with upright branching that typically grows in a dense mound to 2-3’ tall. It is a neatly rounded garden shrub with dazzling golden yellow flowers in mid summer. 'Ames' is slightly hardier than the species and has a more uniform shape. Flowers give way to beaked, oval, brown seed capsules that mature in fall and often persist on the shrub until spring. 'Ames' St Johnswort is easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. It prefers moist, rich, sandy loams and tolerates some drought. Use as a low hedge, for shrub borders, rocky slopes, or a naturalized areas or pond peripheries.

Dogwood - Red Twigged - DetailsDogwood - Red Twigged - Sale Price: $54.25
Whether you call it a Redtwig, Redstem, Redosier or Red Osier, this stunning dogwood’s red winter bark just make the winter a lot less dreary. It is perfect for a shady spot, near a tree line or on the north side of a house, but will do equally well in full sun as a hedge or in a group. Needs attentive watering; leaves can wilt in very hot sun, which may be mistaken for thirstiness. The red-twigged dogwood offers interest year-‘round: milky white flowers in spring, then soothing green foliage in spring and summer, cabernet-wine colored leaves in fall, and its signature deep red bark in winter. In early spring, cut the shrub back to four to six inches from the ground to ensure a perennial show of red stems over the coming winters. The clustered fruits are low in sugar, which birds seem to like more than deer; in fact, this shrub is the favored nesting place of American goldfinches. Zones 3-7. * Lots of winter interest!

Heather - Lady in White, Calluna vulgaris 'Lady in White', is a summer flowering budblooming heather that is upright and branching. The Lady in White offers a profusion of lovely bright pink-rose blooms from late August until November! Attracting butterflies and hummingbirds, Lady in White has lovely fragrant flowers that look outstanding in borders, as groundcovers, in containers, or in rock gardens. Callunas grow and flower best in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Good drainage is very important since they are liable to get root diseases if growing in wet spots. Prune by cutting branches below the flowers in fall or in early spring in colder zones. It requires full sun and acid loving fertile well drained soil that is humus rich. Lady in White is a budbloomer which means that it is a form of Calluna in which the flowers never develop beyond the bud stage, but as a result, keep their color for a long period. Zones 5-7 * Late Summer Bloomer!

It is best to follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring.
