Weigela - Red Prince
If you have a spot where you’d like to make a bold statement, plant a few classic ‘Red Prince’ weigela. Its purple-tinged mid-green foliage and deep red trumpet-shaped flowers will create quite a dramatic presence in your landscape. The showy flowers bloom in late spring/early summer and often again in August. This hardy shrub will eventually grow to person-height and needs little maintenance; just give it organic, well-drained soil in full sun and watch for hummingbirds, as ‘Red Prince’ is a beacon for them. Even when living in a drier soil and partial shade, this eye-catching weigela provides excellent color and contrast in most any setting; it’s particularly effective in a sunny border of mixed perennials and annuals. Zones 4-8.

Bluebeard - Arthur J. Simmonds - DetailsBluebeard - Arthur J. Simmonds - Sale Price: $49.95
The Arthur J. Simmonds Bluebeard, Caryopteris x clandonensis 'Arthur J. Simmonds', is perhaps the hardiest of bluebeards! It displays powdery light blue flowers that are produced in late summer when few other shrubs bloom. It makes a shapely rounded bush, and its light colored lance-shaped leaves visually blur with the blue of the flowers. Before flowering, Arthur J. Simmonds makes a fine foliaged, formal shape that combines well with golden grasses. This is a relatively small shrub that will die back to the ground during the winter. It is suggested that this bluebeard be cut back to the ground to enhance production of new wood on which the flowers will be borne. Fall Bloom! Zones 5-9

Witch-hazel - Common - DetailsWitch-hazel - Common - Sale Price: $64.25
The Common Witch-Hazel, Hamamelis virginiana, is extraordinary in its flowering habits. It flowers in late October to early December. Many times its slender yellow petals are the only signs of color in the dormant woods. Witch-hazel is pollinated by the winter moth. After pollination, the fruits become dormant for the winter, developing over the following growing season and maturing in the fall, 10-12 months after pollination. Seeds are dispersed by gravity, or are eaten and excreted by birds. Witch-hazel seeds germinate the following spring or enter the seed bank. Early growth is slow, and in fact remains slow throughout the life of the tree in its typical shady habitat. As individuals, witch-hazel probably does not live more than 100 years, but they reproduce from root sprouts, and clones may live for a very long time.
