Weigela - Red Prince
Weigela - Red Prince If you have a spot where you’d like to make a bold statement, plant a few classic ‘Red Prince’ weigela. Its purple-tinged mid-green foliage and deep red trumpet-shaped flowers will create quite a dramatic presence in your landscape. The showy flowers bloom in late spring/early summer and often again in August. This hardy shrub will eventually grow to person-height and needs little maintenance; just give it organic, well-drained soil in full sun and watch for hummingbirds, as ‘Red Prince’ is a beacon for them. Even when living in a drier soil and partial shade, this eye-catching weigela provides excellent color and contrast in most any setting; it’s particularly effective in a sunny border of mixed perennials and annuals. Zones 4-8.

Blackberry - Darrow - Sale Price: $42.75 If you’ve ever picked and eaten wild blackberries, you know there’s nothing like their intense, deep, true blackberry flavor and aroma. The problem with wild blackberries is that they’re susceptible to rust and blight, and the fruits are often tiny, not to mention that you have to go find them. Start an easy-to-grow berry patch of your own with several ‘Darrow’ plants, and every summer (and often again in early fall) you’ll harvest huge, delectable berries with that same wild-picked taste, but minus the problems. This blackberry is hardy to zone 5, is ultra-vigorous and also self-pollinating. Choose a sunny, well-drained spot for your patch and amend the soil with compost. Keep ‘Darrow’ watered during dry spells, mulch well and prune regularly, and it will produce in top form for many years. Make indescribably delicious cobblers, crisps, pies, jam, jelly, syrup, liqueurs and wine at a fraction of the cost of store-bought berries. The antioxidant health benefits alone are reason enough to plant these beauties! Zones 5-8. |
