Spiraea - Magic Carpet
The Spirea 'Magic Carpet', Spirea japonica 'Magic Carpet', is a colorful shrub that fits almost anywhere in the landscape. In spring, the leaf shoots emerge vibrant red, maturing into rich bronze to light green, red-tipped foliage. Clusters of deep pink flowers cover the plant in early summer. This bush is a beauty, and with some judicious deadheading and the right climate, the flowers will rebloom until November. In fall the foliage takes on russet tones that remain colorful well into winter months.  The 18 to 24 inch rounded plants are full and bushy.  Full sun brings out the brightest colors, and this plant is very drought tolerant. If you want some fall fireworks in your garden, make Magic Carpet spirea your centerpiece! * Colorful shrub * Early bloomer * Drought tolerant

Holly - Carissa - DetailsHolly - Carissa - Sale Price: $64.25
The Holly 'Carissa', Ilex cornuta 'Carissa', is an outstanding dwarf and a dense grower. The leaves are dark glossy green with one spine at the tip. It is well suited for planting along a foundation, and it is excellent for use as a low hedge or in mass plantings. This 'Carissa' does not produce berries. 'Carissa' grows best in rich, well-drained, slightly acid soil, and does well in full sun or part shade. The plant is very drought tolerant, requiring little, if any, irrigation once established in the landscape. Fertilize once or twice to maintain good leaf color and adequate growth. This plant is often used on commercial landscape jobs where it is planted in mass in traffic islands, or planted in beds. If this plant is used as a hedge, prune the plant so it is wider at the bottom than at the top. This allows for light to get in to the bottom foliage and this will help keep the leaves from thinning. The Carissa prefers a pH of 5.0 to 6.5. Zones 6-9.

Spiraea - Shibori - DetailsSpiraea - Shibori - Sale Price: $51.35
The Spiraea Shibori, Spiraea japonica 'Shirobana', develops into a small, upright, attractive, amd deciduous shrub that bears unusual multi-colored flower clusters. It is a well-branched plant with flowers forming flat clusters by mid-June, ranging from a mixed pink to white. This dense, mounded shrub has medium-green leaves that are oval and toothed. Thriving in a wide range of soils in sun or light shade, Shibori Spiraea is highly versatile and an ornamental that works well in mass plantings, mixed borders, and low informal hedges. It is best to deadhead spent flowers to encourage prolonged secondary bloom and to prevent self-sowing. Prune back plants and remove weak and dead stems in early spring to promote strong healthy new growth and larger more abundant flower heads. Shibori is the perfect plant for spicing up northern native plant landscapes and wild garden woodlands; also use in containers or for foundation plants.

Rose of Sharon - Blue Satin - DetailsRose of Sharon - Blue Satin - Sale Price: $85.65
Rose of Sharon - Blue Satin, Hibiscus syriacus 'Marina' (PP12,680), is a vigorous, bloom-happy shrub. It not only gives you plenty of flowers, but boasts the most beautiful coloring in the Hibiscus world, and just doesn't know when to quit! Blue Satin has larger flowers, better color, more branching, and gives an all-around longer show. You'll love these huge 3-inch blooms, with magenta throats, and an ivory center that complements the strong royal blue tone of the petals. The flowers are very uniform in color, too -- no washed out end-of-season blooms here! A moderate grower, it's also pollution-tolerant. Rose of Sharon prefers full sun and well-drained soil and is very tolerant of heat and drought. It is a fine choice for hot, dry spots where other shrubs are not happy. Keep it well watered during growth. Blue Satin does best in full sun, but light shade is acceptable, especially in far southern or southwestern climates. One's ability to shape Rose of Sharon also makes the shrub a prime candidate for hedges. It is a profuse bloomer and not only blooms late, but leafs out late, as well. You will love the blue flowers with the magenta throat!
