The flowers are a mixture of sterile and fertile flowers which gives the flowers less density and less likelihood to tip or droop. Flowers will turn bronze in fall. This stunning, tree form hydrangea is fast growing and is great for informal screens. It makes a wonderful show piece for any yard, and you can even use the blooms for cut arrangements. It is a hardy, low maintenance ornamental that requires little pruning. If you need to trim it for shaping purposes, it is best to do it in early spring for most zones.

Weigela - Spilled Wine - DetailsWeigela - Spilled Wine - Sale Price: $39.95
Weigela Spilled Wine, Weigela florida 'Bokraspiwi', has wavy leaves that have a rich, dark purple-red color that intensifies to near black in late summer; does not fade to green like some older selections!  This handsome deep purple foliage adds a delightful extra touch to this plant! There is a spring flush of hot pink magenta flowers, with additional flowering through summer and fall. The tubular flowers are adored by swarms of hummingbirds that enjoy the nectar of these bright, colorful flowers. This smart little shrub looks like an exotic special, but actually it's easy to grow, very dependable, and super long-blooming.  Prune to shape after flowering, and fertilize in early spring by applying a slow release fertilizer. Spilled Wine has a spreading habit and is a smaller plant--wider than it is tall.  This plant is beautiful as a specimen, in the mixed border, or foundation plantings; loves full sun, and is deer resistant. * Extremely adaptable * Spectacular colors

Nanking Cherry - DetailsNanking Cherry - Sale Price: $64.25
Nanking Cherry, Prunus tomentosa, has showy white flowers with a pink blush which covers the plant in early spring. This is followed by tasty, edible, bright red fruit, great for jams and jelly. These 1/2 bright red fruit, which ripen in early July, are edible but a little tart for fresh eating. Nanking Cherry is a large wide spreading shrub and can be pruned as a small tree. It grows 8-10 feet in height and 10-15 feet wide. It is a great conservation plant with attractive soft green foliage. The plant works well as a mass planting or informal hedge. Nanking Cherry is native to northern China and is very cold hardy. It requires a good, well-drained soil. Nanking Cherry is fairly drought tolerant and does best in full sun. It needs cross pollination to produce fruit, so purchase 2 Nanking’s to be sure of pollination. The white flowers are fragrant and bloom in the spring!

Swamp Chestnut Oak - DetailsSwamp Chestnut Oak - Sale Price: $71.35
The Swamp Chestnut Oak tree, Quercus michauxii, is known also as a Basket Oak for the baskets made from its wood, and Cow Oak because cows eat the acorns! One of the important timber trees of the South, it grows on moist and wet loamy soils of bottom lands, along streams and borders of swamps.  The high quality wood is used in all kinds of construction and for implements.  The acorns are sweet and serve as food for wildlife. Swamp Chestnut Oak trees are well-formed and become quite large (80 feet tall) with a narrow crown.  Swamp Chestnut Oak strongly prefers soils that are moist, permanently moist, or permanently wet, and tolerates standing water (as in periodically inundated floodplains) for several weeks at a time. Good seed crops occur at intervals of 3-5 years with poor to fair production in between.  Swamp Chestnut Oak trees are deciduous and have leaves that vary from four to eight inches in length and are downy beneath. Making a good shade tree, Swamp Chestnut Oak also offers rich crimson colors in the fall! * Important timber tree * Produces acorns * Good shade tree

Rose of Sharon - Blue Satin - DetailsRose of Sharon - Blue Satin - Sale Price: $85.65
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!
