Celtis occidentalis
Hackberry is known for its attractive bark that is corky and rough in texture. The bright green elm-like foliage turns to a soft yellow in the fall, and the fruits are relished by wildlife. With a round open form, it grows at a moderate to rapid rate. Extremely hardy, and adaptable to a range of urban environments including alkaline soils, drought and windy conditions.
Hydrangea paniculata ‘Renba’
Grafted as a Standard tree form.
With strong, upright stems and large cone-shaped flower panicles that stay upright, this plant is a summer stunner. The flower color starts out white in July then progresses to dark pink. Coloring occurs from the bottom and progresses to the top of the panicle. Berry White® blooms a little later than Strawberry Sundae® and about the same time as Vanilla Strawberry™. Color shades can vary according to location, climate and type of soil.
Hydrangea paniculata ‘Renhy’
Standard form.
The enormous flower heads are a blend of vanilla and strawberry, held upright on red stems. Flowers emerge creamy white in midsummer, change to pink as the night temperatures drop and finally turn strawberry red. New blooms emerge as older blooms change color, giving the plant a multicolored effect in late summer and early fall. The red coloring lasts at least 3-4 weeks. Plants grow upright, then cascade later in the season. Excellent for fresh cut and dried flower arrangements. Flower color varies based on climate and growing conditions.
Hydrangea paniculata ‘Limelight’
Pruned to Standard tree form.
Perfect for smaller gardens. Makes a great vertical accent in borders and decorative containers. Bright, lime-green flowers add a much needed brightness to the late summer landscape. In autumn the blooms display shades of pink, burgundy and green. Excellent vigor and floriferous blooming. Flowers on new wood so it can be pruned in winter or early spring.
Acer palmatum var. dissectum ‘Monfrick’
Low, spreading branches on a beautifully mounded, weeping dwarf form. Rich, red, deeply dissected foliage holds its color throughout the growing season, developing more vibrant red tones in the fall. A lacy, delicate appearance yet exceptionally tough and cold tolerant. Thrives in full sun of cooler regions. An excellent container specimen. Deciduous.
Syringa pubescens subsp. patula ‘Miss Kim’
Pruned to Standard form.
This upright, compact lilac blooms later than others, extending the season with deep purple buds that reveal clusters of highly fragrant, lavender-blue flowers. Foliage is burgundy-tinged in fall. Hardy, with excellent powdery mildew resistance. Great for border accent or mass planting. Deciduous.
Syringa reticulata ‘Bailnce’
Although the species tend to flower biennially, Snowdance flowers well annually and begins flowering at an earlier age than the rest. It has exceptionally heavy bloom with large, fragrant, creamy white flower clusters in June. This variety produces few untidy brown seedheads. Lustrous dark green foliage is slightly larger and darker than the species. Snowdance grows as wide as it is tall with attractive, shelved branching. A pest-and-disease-free lilac tree, it is ideal for residential and park use and is equally attractive as a specimen as it is in group plantings.
Syringa reticulata ‘Ivory Silk’
Delivering incomparable fragrance and cream blooms in the spring and summer months, the Ivory Silk Japanese Lilac lives up to its name, giving you a smooth, elegant look that fits in nearly anywhere. You’ll enjoy its velvety white blooms on a naturally rounded crown. Vibrant green foliage pops against its reddish-brown bark, perfect for livening up bare areas…whether you plant it as a focal point in your flower beds or along driveway borders for extra color. Plus, it attracts graceful wildlife like hummingbirds to your garden.
