American Mountain-ash
The Mountain Ash, American, Sorbus americana, is a smooth-barked tree that can reach a height of 30 feet with a trunk 18 inches in diameter.  The crown is narrow, open and rounded at the top. This tree provides spring and summer interest, with white flower clusters in the spring, and then these blooms yield brightly colored clusters of red berries in the summertime.  Its dark green leaves resemble those of the sumac and turn orange and purple in the fall. The berries are a favorite wildlife food for many birds and mammals during the fall and winter months.  Mountain Ash berries can be eaten fresh, dried for later use, or used to make jellies and jams. Mountain Ash prefers acidic soil with good drainage and full sun to light shade; enjoys full sun but can be grown easily in shade. This winter hardy Mountain Ash tree is used as an ornamental in many yards and in cities.  This beautiful tree has a great resistance to smog related pollution. * Winter hardy * Food for wildlife * Pollution tolerant

Spirea - Dakota Goldcharm® - DetailsSpirea - Dakota Goldcharm® - Sale Price: $51.35
Dakota Goldcharm® Spirea, spiraea japonica 'Mertyann', has showy golden foliage that is accented by bright pink flowers blooming in early summer, repeating through the remainder of the season. The foliage emerges bronze, turns yellow-gold in summer and develops a pink-red fall color. Dakota Goldcharm Spirea is more or less a miniature version of Goldflame or Goldmound Spirea, with foliage that starts a deep red, fading to a yellowish green by late spring. This certainly is a plant to locate at the front of a planting bed, otherwise it will be lost among the taller perennials and shrubs. ‘Mertyann’ prefers loamy soil with full to partial sun.  This mounded shrub grows 15-18 inches tall with 2-3 foot spread. Since it is so small, it can also be used as a ground cover. Spireas are among the easiest flowering shrubs to grow since they are tolerant of many soils except extremely wet.  This plant also likes mulch and summer watering. * Colorful foliage * Ground cover * Low maintenance

Rhododendron - Vulcan's Flame - DetailsRhododendron - Vulcan's Flame - Sale Price: $106.95
The Rhododendron 'Vulcan's Flame', 'Rhododendron 'Vulcans Flame’ is a vigorous, easy to grow plant with a broad, rounded habit. The fiery red flowers appear against the dark green foliage in late spring. It matures to 5 feet tall and 6 feet wide. Rhododendrons are shallow rooting so they require regular watering during the summer or during hot spells. To create a full, well-shaped shrub, pinch-off the new growth for the first few years. Vulcan’s Flame is an easy care rhododendron that needs excellent drainage, mulching and a peat moss soil additive. Roots will rot in poorly drained soil, so well-drained soil is a must! Established plants can benefit from fertilization. The Vulcan is heat and sun tolerant. An ideal location in colder zones is an area with filtered shade and some winter protection. If you want a red flowering rhododendron, this one is it!
