Witch-hazel - Vernal
Witch-hazel - Vernal The Vernal Witch-hazel, Hamamelis vernalis, is a deciduous, winter-blooming shrub, with a rounded habit which typically grows 6-10' tall with a somewhat larger spread. It is noted for its extremely early (January to February-March) and lengthy (to 4 weeks) bloom period. The fragrant, globular flower clusters have variable coloration, but flowers most frequently have yellow petals and reddish inner calyxes. Ovate, dull green leaves (2-5) turn an attractive golden yellow in autumn. Extract obtained from the leaves, bark and stems was formerly used medicinally by native Americans for, inter alia, external treatment of sprains, bruises and inflammations.

| Heather - Sandy - Sale Price: $51.35 The Scotch Heather, Calluna vulgaris 'Sandy', is a mutation of the variety 'Melanie' and its bright yellow foliage resists the sun well. Sandy is a low-growing perennial evergreen ground cover or low shrub for sun; blooms during late summer. It is upright and wide, and has pure white, very resistant buds between September to December. The masses of white flower buds never open thereby remaining colorful from August until hard frost! Superb for alpine, rock or trough gardens. Sandy is a budbloomer which means that it is a form of Calluna in which the flowers never develop beyond the bud stage, but as a result, keep their color for a long period. It requires full sun and acid loving fertile well drained soil that is humus rich. Zones 5-7. * Great for rock gardens! |

| Snowberry - White - Sale Price: $54.25 White Snowberry, symphoricarpos 'white hedge', has dainty pink flowers that appear in July.

The egg white berries seem to float lightly in the air, all about the plant. This and their small, scattered leaf pattern, give the plant a low but airy quality! * White berries * Delicate looking * Twiggy shrub |
