Spiraea - Van Houtteis
The Spiraea Van Houtteis (bridalwreath), Spiraea vanhouttei, has a foliage color of a dull bluish green.  The flowers are white in April-May, borne in many flowered 1-2 diameter umbels.  The lovely white flowers form on the branch tips, and they are produced before the fine textured leaves!  Van Houtteis is an outstanding deciduous shrub that grows rapidly and may be used as a screen, in groupings, for borders, or as a foundation plant. The branches arch to the ground and makes an open airy mounded habit that adds an architectural feature to the landscape. Van Houtte Spirea is a durable and familiar shrub that is best grown in a sunny location and any good garden soil; prefers well-drained soil.

Barberry - Crimson Pygmy - DetailsBarberry - Crimson Pygmy - Sale Price: $39.95
Like ‘Concorde,’ Crimson Pygmy is naturally small in stature, just about two feet tall and perhaps three feet wide. It has all of the characteristics you love in a landscape shrub: resistance to disease, deer and insects, and perhaps best of all, considering it’s a prickly plant, no pruning, unless you want to treat it as a topiary or downsize it. Excellent in the landscape border, in Japanese-themed gardens or as a frame for water features. Plant Crimson Pygmy against golds, yellows and deep greens for stark contrast, or as a companion to anything in the pink/rose spectrum for sheer beauty. Full sun, regular watering and soil that’s a bit on the acid side will serve this shrub well. After its root system is large and well established, it will only need watering during periods of drought. Zones 4-8.

Hedge Contoneaster's excellent dense screen is good for hedges, bank covers, groupings, and wildlife habitat or shelterbelt filler. The birds appreciate the bright red fruits, turning deep red/black in autumn.

Sumac - Staghorn - DetailsSumac - Staghorn - Sale Price: $64.20
The Staghorn Sumac, Rhus typhina, is the most well-known sumac. Its branches resemble deer antlers. Staghorn sumac reaches 25 feet in height at maturity with an equal spread. It is not as tolerant of poorly drained soils as other sumacs. The large dark crimson - or rarely orange to yellow - pinnate leaves of this sumac have 15-31 narrow, leaflets that can be up to (6) long. The stems and fruits of Staghorn Sumac are densely hairy, as in the velvet stage of a stag's antlers. These colorful, nonpoisonous shrubs or small trees are rhizomatous. The large clumps form bright splashes of color along forest margins, road banks, and fencerows and in old fields over much of the Appalachians.
