Beauty Bush - Pink Cloud
Beauty Bush - Pink Cloud Beauty Bush - Pink Cloud, Kolkwitzia amabilis 'Pink Cloud', produces white-pink flowers that are carried into May on arching stems, and this colorful display has quite an effect. The bell-shaped pink flowers have yellow throats that appear in clusters in a profuse mid-spring bloom. The rest of the year, it remains a mound of foliage, doing its job of screening the view of the neighbors! A member of the honeysuckle family, it is a suckering, deciduous shrub that typically grows 6' to 10’ tall with an arching, vase-shaped habit. Pink Cloud's flowers are followed by capsule-like fruits that usually persist on the plants. Broad-ovate dark green leaves turn an undistinguished yellow in fall. Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Best flowering is in full sun. Diminished flowering, often accompanied with a more arching-spreading habit, occurs in part shade. Use Beauty Bush in your landscape design as a screen, as a specimen or at the corner of a house in groups of three.

| Pussy Willow - Black - Sale Price: $49.95 Pussy Willow - Black, Salix gracilistylus ‘Melanostachys’ is a quick growing shrub with flowers/catkins that form along the stems of the plant. The procession of black catkins resembling little black caterpillars can range from a half-inch to two inches in length, starting small early in the season, then lengthening and changing color as they mature. The female catkins stay flat black until well-expanded, but males will add a fine-textured, silky red to orange staminate haze. Black Pussy Willow will spread aggressively by underground roots and above ground suckers, but you can prune this plant pretty severely to keep it in check. The nearly toothless leaves on the upper surface are deep green, the lower a soft gray-green. The leaves often take on a tattered appearance by fall; tree will occasionally produce a yellow fall color display. Although it does not like standing water, the Black Pussy Willow does like to have water nearby. Planting it in full sun will help keep some of the fungal problems in check. It is quite tolerant of many soil types as well as moderate road salt and pollution exposure. The branches, along with the catkins, can make elegant and divine bouquets. |
