Barberry - Concorde
Barberry - Concorde Commonly known as Japanese Barberry, this compact little shrub’s burgundy-colored foliage is a dramatic —and welcome— contrast in a landscape dominated by green everything-else. ‘Concorde’ has very small teardrop-shaped leaves on thorny branches which form an orderly round plant that tops out at not much more than a couple of feet. Use ‘Concorde’ as a foundation planting or berm or border edging, and in any number of other small, sunny spaces where you need a plant of a different color. Full sun keeps the leaves their pretty royal purple color, which will gently turn deep red in the fall, and through the winter you’ll be treated to lovely red berries. A slightly acidic soil will benefit this slow-growing, pest-free shrub (which is also hypo-allergenic and resistant to deer, drought and disease). To tilt the pH, just tap a few nails into the soil under the shrub canopy. Pruning is only required to change its shape or overall size. Zones 4-8. There is always space for Concorde in any landscape, and it will look terrific in yours as well. Plant in full sun.

Hydrangea - Abracadabra Orb - Sale Price: $39.95 Hydrangea (Big Leaf Hydrangea) Abracadabra Orb, Hydrangea macrophylla 'Hororb', will certainly add an unusual and charming look to your landscape. Its unique mop-head flowers will provide an excellent summer color to your mixed border too. The flowers first emerge green and peach then mature to hot pink.

Blooming on old wood from summer through fall, Hydrangea Abracadabra™ Orb usually requires no pruning but may be trimmed after flowering. It is best to fertilize this hydrangea in early spring with the recommended rate of slow release fertilizer. Deadhead immediately after the flowers fade to ensure prolific flowering year after year.

| Lilac - Bloomerangâ„¢ - Sale Price: $109.95 Enjoy Lavender-Pink Fragrant Flowers for Months! The Bloomerang Lilac is one of the most productive and consistent, re-blooming Lilacs. Most Lilacs range in color from pink to red-purple making the color of the Bloomerang quite unusual and very popular. Its first bloom period appears in mid May, a spectacular show of large, lavender-pink, fragrant clusters of flowers. These sweet scented flowers will cover the branches in the spring letting you know that spring has well and truly sprung. Your Bloomerang will take a short rest in June then begin to re-bloom in July and continues until the frost. While most Lilacs bloom for a few weeks in the spring, the Bloomerang will bloom for months! The blooms from summer to fall will be a darker purple than the spring blossoms. It’s like having two shrubs in one! Imagine fragrant lavender bouquets in your home for spring, and darker purple floral arrangements decorating your home in the fall. The Bloomerang has a compact, mounded shape that fits easily into any landscape. It would be perfect in smaller spaces, or as a low, divinely fragrant border. However, it’s also ideal as a foundation plant or in a container to add height and drama. Place it in a decorative container on the patio and enjoy months of blooms. The Lilac is a classic flowering shrub that has been a favorite for generations. Don’t say goodbye to the Lilacs after a few short weeks each year, plant the Bloomerang and enjoy its wonderful display and scent for months. The bloomerang lilac sells out every year.
