Japanese Tree Lilac
  Japanese Tree Lilac The Japanese Tree Lilac (2002 Iowa Tree of the Year), with its attractive multi-stemmed clump form and ravishingly fragrant, creamy-white panicles, now graces many residential yards as well as parking lots, medians and commercial properties. Landscapers love this plant for its interesting spreading branches and vase-shaped crown, its long June-through-July blooming season and its very easy care. Ruddy, cherry-like bark and neat, dark green leaves contrast nicely with the creaminess of the flowers. The Japanese Tree Lilac needs at least six hours of good sun for flowering and likes regular watering, but has no fussy soil requirements. Be careful to avoid using lawn fertilizer around the plant base, or you may encourage more foliage than flowers. If pruning is needed, do so right after flowering. Zones 3-7.

  |   Quince - 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! |  
  |   Hydrangea - Late Panicle - Sale Price: $49.95 The Hydrangea 'Late Panicle', Hydrangea paniculata 'Tardiva', this shrub has white airy flowers that can reach 10-12 in length in late August. The flowers are a mixture of sterile and fertile flowers which gives the flowers less density and less likelihood to tip or droop. Flowers will turn bronze in fall. The flower heads will stay on the plant during much of the winter if conditions are not severe.  These shrubs are fast growing and are great for informal     screens, specimen plants, or for cut arrangements. Cut the flower heads when they are fully open and hang to dry in a warm, airy place. You may prune every year in the fall after blooming, no more than 1/3 of the plant. These plants look best when they are kept pruned to keep them thick at the base. They are hardy and will not need to be covered to flower. Late Panicle is easy to grow and they will tolerate less than ideal soil conditions. * Use this plant in groups, line a driveway, or in a border. * Flowers Late Summer! |
