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

Heather - Sandy - DetailsHeather - Sandy - Sale Price: $51.35
The Scotch Heather, Calluna vulgaris 'Sandy', is a mutation of the variety 'Melanie' and its bright yellow foliage resists the sun well. Sandy is a low-growing perennial evergreen ground cover or low shrub for sun; blooms during late summer. It is upright and wide, and has pure white, very resistant buds between September to December. The masses of white flower buds never open thereby remaining colorful from August until hard frost! Superb for alpine, rock or trough gardens. Sandy 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. It requires full sun and acid loving fertile well drained soil that is humus rich. Zones 5-7. * Great for rock gardens!

The foliage is more of a medium grass-green than dark green, and turns to an attractive yellow-bronze color in the fall. The Double Flowering Plum can take a lot of abuse in terms of soil condition, but it does need good sun, good drainage and ample room to perform at its best. It can also be pruned and trained into a tree form. The Double Flowering plum does not produce fruit and it does not tolerate road salt. Zones 3-8 Gorgeous Flowers!
