Lilac - Alexander Pink
The Alexander Pink Lilac, Syringa x prestoniae 'Alexander Pink', is a nice, bright-pink late-blooming Canadian Lilac.  It is very similar in habit to ‘Royalty’ Lilac. A vigorous, non-suckering lilac, 'Alexander Pink' is extremely hardy (-45° below zero).  It needs good drainage and does best in full sun. Promptly remove faded flower panicles before seeds set, since this will increase bloom for the following year.  Prune as needed immediately after flowering. This lilac is easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun. It tolerates light shade, but best bloom quality and disease resistance occur in full sun. 'Alexander Pink' prefers rich, moist, neutral soils. Begin to enjoy the lovely blooms in late spring! * Extremely Hardy! * Bright Pink Flowers!

This plant is used in the landscape in front of taller shrubs for a contrast in your landscape scene. It is best that it has a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system.

The McKay Seedless Maple, Acer saccharinum, has an upright, oval form and is a very vigorous, seedless form of the common Soft Maple. This stately tree is a rapid grower, easy to transplant and a seedless Silver Maple variety. McKay Seedless Maple prefers moist soils, but shows somewhat surprising tolerance for poor dry soils.  It is easily grown in average, medium to wet soils in full sun to part shade.  This tree is best planted in flood plains, wetlands, and farm windbreaks.  A breeze blowing through a Silver Maple causes a striking effect, exposing the silvery underside of the leaves!
