Japanese Tree Lilac - Sale Price: $96.35 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.

Viburnum - Chiquita - Sale Price: $92.75 Heavy Blooming Compact Viburnum Viburnum - Chiquita, Viburnum sargentii 'Chiquita', is a compact form of sargent viburnum that flowers and fruits nicely. The creamy white pinwheel-like flowers appear in late May. 'Chiquita' produces scarlet-red persistent fruits that are showy against a backdrop of yellow-orange fall color. ’Chiquita’ is an excellent bloomer with abundant fruit set and is certainly a shrub for all seasons! This graceful shrub exhibits an enduring cold hardiness and prefers rich, moist soil and blooms best in full sun, but can also tolerate partial shade.

Inkberry - Nordic - Sale Price: $64.25 The Inkberry 'Nordic Compact', Ilex glabra 'Chamzin', is an outstanding, carefree, and compact shrub that matures at 3 to 4 feet high and wide. The evergreen leaves are a deep lustrous green and glisten in sunlight. It is excellent for foundation, hedges, masses, and as an accent plant. It is best to follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. For a tidy, neat appearance, shear annually to shape. 'Nordic Compact' is well suited to low hedges, but single specimens can also be sheared for topiary-like precision form. Because of wind resistance, it makes an excellent choice that helps with snow drift. This Inkberry prefers moist, well-drained, slightly-acidic soils, rich in organic matter. It is tolerant of continually wet soils and can be easily pruned to maintain size and shape. The Nordic is a male plant so it does not produce fruit. This plant is tolerant of poorly drained soils.

Dogwood - Yellow Twig - Sale Price: $54.25 The Dogwood 'Yellow Twig', Cornus sericea 'Flaviramea', is a medium sized shrub with bright yellow twigs. These yellow twigs provide a good contrast against any Red-twig with its yellow fall color. The foliage is medium to dark green in summer, followed by purplish fall color. The twigs are green in summer, but turn bright clear yellow in fall and are quite conspicuous in winter, especially if planted in groups with one of the red twigged dogwoods. Pruned twigs invariably die back to the next bud and turn black from there to the pruned end of the twig, leaving ugly black ends on bright yellow twigs. Prune with care; remove branches or twigs only at the ground line. Plant in full sun and provide a well watered location.

Barberry - Golden Rocket - Sale Price: $51.25 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!
