Sumac - Staghorn
The Staghorn Sumac, Rhus typhina, is the most well-known sumac. Its branches resemble deer antlers. Staghorn sumac reaches 25 feet in height at maturity with an equal spread. It is not as tolerant of poorly drained soils as other sumacs. The large dark crimson - or rarely orange to yellow - pinnate leaves of this sumac have 15-31 narrow, leaflets that can be up to (6) long. The stems and fruits of Staghorn Sumac are densely hairy, as in the velvet stage of a stag's antlers. These colorful, nonpoisonous shrubs or small trees are rhizomatous. The large clumps form bright splashes of color along forest margins, road banks, and fencerows and in old fields over much of the Appalachians.

Rhododendron - Haaga - DetailsRhododendron - Haaga - Sale Price: $51.35
The Rhododendron Haaga, 'Haaga Rhododendron', is a new, hardy, dwarf variety from the University of Helsinki, Finland. It produces dark pink flowers which contrast nicely with the dark green, coarse foliage. The Haaga will begin to bloom in May. This plant needs excellent drainage, mulching and a peat moss soil additive. Roots will rot in poorly drained soil. It will not do well in windy sites. This shrub is fussy about its soil conditions. The soil needs to be rich and acidic. It is a good practice to apply thick mulch around the root zone in colder climates. Any pruning should be done after flowering in order to avoid removing any of the current season’s flowers! The Haaga is a dense evergreen shrub and it is a highly valued landscape ornamental. The large groups of showy pink flowers appear on even young plants. The Haaga is a very effective accent plant. Dwarf Rhododendron!

It forms a neat, compact habit of shiny yellow foliage that glows all season long; produces an abundance of rich blue flowers in late summer. Lil Miss Sunshine requires very little care, it also tolerates dry conditions. It is best to prune to shape in spring, pruning down to where the new growth is sprouting; tip die back is common after cold winters. Use as a specimen, in borders, containers or mass plantings. There is always a space for a Lil Miss Sunshine in any landscape, and it will look terrific in yours. Zones 6-9 Yellow foliage!

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.

Russian Sage - Lacey Blue - DetailsRussian Sage - Lacey Blue - Sale Price: $51.35
Russian Sage - Lacey Blue, Perovskia atriplicifolia 'Lacey Blue', is a valued landscape perennial and boasts the largest flowers of any Russian Sage! It is a perennial with an exceptionally long season of interest. Forming a bushy mound of fragrant grey-green leaves, Lacey Blue bears copious spikes of deep blue flowers from mid-summer into early fall. The grayish green foliage is scented and carries a cloud of small deep blue flowers on wide stems. This plant offers a charming, open airy feel to a garden. Lacey Blue is great for smaller gardens and terrific in mixed containers. Lacey Blue is easy to grow, drought tolerant once established, and its dense bushy branching prevents flopping, which can be a big problem with Russian Sage. Prune back to 6 inches in the spring; deer resistant.
