Summersweet - Ruby Spice
Summersweet - Ruby Spice, Clethra alnifolia 'Ruby Spice', is a distinctive true pink that ranks supreme!  In early to late July and into August, the plant bears vivid pink flower spikes on the current season's growth. Being delightfully fragrant, Ruby Spice provides a late summer treat of dozens of flowers that are arranged on upright panicles. Uniquely hued, this lovely variety blooms longer than any other of its species.  Ruby Spice prefers full sun to partial shade, but will tolerate full shade as well as clay soil. This species is high on the desirability list for northern gardeners, but it may need some wind protection in coldest areas. Remarkably tolerant of a variety of conditions, including roadsides and seashores, its compact habit makes it good for small gardens in shrub borders and mixed in perennial borders.  The plant provides glowing yellow fall foliage as well. If necessary, prune in early spring. * Water tolerant * Full shade * Vivid flowers

Privet - Cheyenne - DetailsPrivet - Cheyenne - Sale Price: $23.95
Fast-Growing and Hardy Shrub The Cheyenne Privet is a fast-growing, hardy shrub that can be pruned to any shape.  It’s perfect for your garden as a background plant or grow it as a trimmed hedge. The outstanding feature of this shrub is its ability to be pruned to almost any desired shape.  Whether you have a small spot between buildings you’d like to fill, or space for a privacy hedge around your pool, this hardy shrub can do the job.  You don’t even have to worry about the right time of year for pruning.  This shrub accepts pruning all year round. Everything about this shrub speaks of its strength. The branches are multi-stemmed, the complex structure adding durability.  Its dark green, lance-shaped leaves adhere to stiff upright branches.  Even though deciduous, the leaves are known to cling to the branches longer than most, so you’ll still have green color into early winter.  It doesn’t mind what type of soil you have or if it’s dry or moist.  If you’re in an urban environment, the Cheyenne can handle it.  It will thrive in sun or partial shade.  In almost any conditions, the Cheyenne seems to love it all.  It’s even fast-growing, and long-lived. If left un-pruned your Cheyenne can reach 8 feet in height with a 6 foot spread.  It will have scented white panicles of flowers in the spring and small, round black berries that persist into the winter.  Birds will appreciate your thoughtfulness for the extra winter treat. For an adaptable shrub you can prune and forget, the Cheyenne Privet is the perfect carefree choice. * Fast-growing* Hardy

Dogwood - Ivory Halo - DetailsDogwood - Ivory Halo - Sale Price: $42.95
The Dogwood 'Ivory Halo', Cornus alba 'Bailhalo', also known as tatarian dogwood, is a cultivar that is noted for its compact size, variegated (white-edged) leaves and bright red twigs in winter. It is a rapid-growing, multi-stemmed, suckering, deciduous shrub that grows to a maximum size of 4-6' tall on erect, usually unbranched stems. The outstanding ornamental features of this cultivar are: (1) bright red winter stems which are particularly showy against a snowy backdrop and (2) medium/dark green leaves (to 4.5 long) which are edged with white. The tiny, yellowish-white flowers appear in flat-topped clusters (to 2.5 diameter) in late spring, with sparse, intermittent, additional flowering sometimes continuing into summer. Flowers give way to clusters of blue-white drupes in summer. Fruit is quite attractive to birds and is generally considered to have as much if not more ornamental interest than the flowers. The fall color is variable, but foliage may turn attractive shades of purple-red. Zones 3-7. * Variegated Leaves!

Hydrangea - Blue Bunny - DetailsHydrangea - Blue Bunny - Sale Price: $39.95
Named a Proven Winner. A very special hydrangea, this one. Blue Bunny™ produces a copious number of charming blue-and-white lacecap flowers from late summer until frost, and will reliably do so year after year. Even the elegant, rounded buds are lovely. ‘Blue Bunny’ is also sought-after because of its unusual fuzzy leaves, which add texture and interest to the planting area. Unlike some other pink and blue varieties, the flower color is not at all affected by the soil pH. In general, hydrangeas require even moisture and need good drainage. For the best flower display, feed in early spring with a slow-release fertilizer that is designed especially for trees and shrubs, and if it needs shaping, prune just after flowering. This plant is most effective in groups, in the border, in hedges or in a woodland garden. Asexual propagation prohibited. Zones 6-9

Dogwood - Grey Twig - DetailsDogwood - Grey Twig - Sale Price: $57.05
The Gray Dogwood, 'Cornus racemosa', is a deciduous shrub which typically occurs in moist or rocky ground along streams, ponds, wet meadows, glade and prairie margins, thickets and rocky bluffs. It grows 10-15' tall and features white flowers borne in terminal racemes (hence the species name of racemosa) in late spring and grayish-green, elliptic to lance-shaped leaves (2-4 long). The foliage turns an interesting dusky purplish red in fall. Terminal stems holding the flowers are distinctively red and provide interesting contrast to the clusters of small white berries which form after the flowers have dropped. The red stem color is more easily seen after the fruits are gone, and red color often persists into early winter. Excellent when planted in groups and left alone to spread in naturalized areas or native plant gardens. Use this plant in shrub borders, along streams or ponds or near buildings or when planted as a screen. The Gray Dogwood can be particularly useful because of its ability to grow in poor soils. It is easily grown in average, medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Tolerant of city air pollution. Zones 2-8. * Fall Color * Wildlife Plant
