Heather - Sandy
The Scotch Heather, Calluna vulgaris 'Sandy', is a mutation of the variety 'Melanie' and its bright yellow foliage resists the sun well. Sandy is a low-growing perennial evergreen ground cover or low shrub for sun; blooms during late summer. It is upright and wide, and has pure white, very resistant buds between September to December. The masses of white flower buds never open thereby remaining colorful from August until hard frost! Superb for alpine, rock or trough gardens. Sandy is a budbloomer which means that it is a form of Calluna in which the flowers never develop beyond the bud stage, but as a result, keep their color for a long period. It requires full sun and acid loving fertile well drained soil that is humus rich. Zones 5-7. * Great for rock gardens!

Quince - Spreading - DetailsQuince - Spreading - Sale Price: $57.05
Quince - Spreading, Chaenomeles japonica, is an adaptable, easy to grow deciduous thornless shrub that does best in full sun. Also referred to as the Japanese Flowering Quince, this shrub is tolerant of dry soils, and periodic pruning improves bloom. This sprawling plant has crowded gnarled branches and a low crooked habit. Old canes and suckers can be removed every year. The Spreading Quince needs ample room to ramble, so make sure other plants are not nearby that will be affected by its spreading habit. It has dark green foliage and pink to white flowers that appear in late spring or early summer. The leaves are untoothed, dark green above, and pale with a dense felt of grey wool beneath (especially when young). They turn a rich yellow in autumn. The fruits are light golden-yellow, green or orange, usually pear shaped, but sometimes round and apple-shaped. A quince is delicious stewed, baked, made into fruit butter and should not be eaten raw-- almost anything that can be done with apples can be done with quinces!
