Barberry - Golden Rocket
The Barberry 'Golden Rocket', Berberis thunbergii 'Golden Rocket', is a narrow, upright growing, deciduous shrub with showy, bright yellow foliage. Pale yellow, insignificant flowers in spring are followed by bright red berries in fall. Plant has spines or sharp edges so use extreme caution when handling. Plant in any soil in a sunny or partially shaded position, but this plant produces its best fruits and autumn color in a sunny spot. Since 'Golden Rocket' has a naturally upright growth habit, it can be also be used as a hedging plant. The stems can be thinned out in late winter so the plant maintains a tidy form. Use this plant in containers, planters, shrub borders, focal point, in small groups, and as a specimen. Zones 4-9 If you are looking for a low maintenance, hardy plant, you can hardly do better than the Golden Rocket!

Dogwood - Red Twigged - DetailsDogwood - Red Twigged - Sale Price: $54.25
Whether you call it a Redtwig, Redstem, Redosier or Red Osier, this stunning dogwood’s red winter bark just make the winter a lot less dreary. It is perfect for a shady spot, near a tree line or on the north side of a house, but will do equally well in full sun as a hedge or in a group. Needs attentive watering; leaves can wilt in very hot sun, which may be mistaken for thirstiness. The red-twigged dogwood offers interest year-‘round: milky white flowers in spring, then soothing green foliage in spring and summer, cabernet-wine colored leaves in fall, and its signature deep red bark in winter. In early spring, cut the shrub back to four to six inches from the ground to ensure a perennial show of red stems over the coming winters. The clustered fruits are low in sugar, which birds seem to like more than deer; in fact, this shrub is the favored nesting place of American goldfinches. Zones 3-7. * Lots of winter interest!
