Hydrangea - Lime Light
Hydrangea - Lime Light Named a Proven Winner. Very few shrubs display pale-green flowers, which are real garden standouts — if you can find them. This extraordinary new Hydrangea has clean, bright, lime-green blooms that look so cool and inviting the heat of mid- to late summer, a definite garden highlight. The sizable flower heads are well-distributed on the plant, almost as if you placed them deliberately. Into the fall, they change to a pleasing deep pink. ‘Limelight’ is a vigorous, dependable shrub and a prolific bloomer you can count on year after year. The Limelight Hydrangea doesn’t care about its soil pH and is substantially more drought-tolerant than other hydrangeas. Exquisite as a cut flower, but can be dried very successfully. It can also be grown in containers. * Lime-Green Flowers!

Swamp Chestnut Oak - Sale Price: $71.35 The Swamp Chestnut Oak tree, Quercus michauxii, is known also as a Basket Oak for the baskets made from its wood, and Cow Oak because cows eat the acorns! One of the important timber trees of the South, it grows on moist and wet loamy soils of bottom lands, along streams and borders of swamps. The high quality wood is used in all kinds of construction and for implements. The acorns are sweet and serve as food for wildlife. Swamp Chestnut Oak trees are well-formed and become quite large (80 feet tall) with a narrow crown. Swamp Chestnut Oak strongly prefers soils that are moist, permanently moist, or permanently wet, and tolerates standing water (as in periodically inundated floodplains) for several weeks at a time. Good seed crops occur at intervals of 3-5 years with poor to fair production in between. Swamp Chestnut Oak trees are deciduous and have leaves that vary from four to eight inches in length and are downy beneath. Making a good shade tree, Swamp Chestnut Oak also offers rich crimson colors in the fall! * Important timber tree * Produces acorns * Good shade tree |
| Spirea - Dakota Goldcharm® - Sale Price: $51.35 Dakota Goldcharm® Spirea, spiraea japonica 'Mertyann', has showy golden foliage that is accented by bright pink flowers blooming in early summer, repeating through the remainder of the season. The foliage emerges bronze, turns yellow-gold in summer and develops a pink-red fall color. Dakota Goldcharm Spirea is more or less a miniature version of Goldflame or Goldmound Spirea, with foliage that starts a deep red, fading to a yellowish green by late spring. This certainly is a plant to locate at the front of a planting bed, otherwise it will be lost among the taller perennials and shrubs. ‘Mertyann’ prefers loamy soil with full to partial sun. This mounded shrub grows 15-18 inches tall with 2-3 foot spread. Since it is so small, it can also be used as a ground cover. Spireas are among the easiest flowering shrubs to grow since they are tolerant of many soils except extremely wet. This plant also likes mulch and summer watering. * Colorful foliage * Ground cover * Low maintenance |
| Pussy Willow - Black - Sale Price: $49.95 Pussy Willow - Black, Salix gracilistylus ‘Melanostachys’ is a quick growing shrub with flowers/catkins that form along the stems of the plant. The procession of black catkins resembling little black caterpillars can range from a half-inch to two inches in length, starting small early in the season, then lengthening and changing color as they mature. The female catkins stay flat black until well-expanded, but males will add a fine-textured, silky red to orange staminate haze. Black Pussy Willow will spread aggressively by underground roots and above ground suckers, but you can prune this plant pretty severely to keep it in check. The nearly toothless leaves on the upper surface are deep green, the lower a soft gray-green. The leaves often take on a tattered appearance by fall; tree will occasionally produce a yellow fall color display. Although it does not like standing water, the Black Pussy Willow does like to have water nearby. Planting it in full sun will help keep some of the fungal problems in check. It is quite tolerant of many soil types as well as moderate road salt and pollution exposure. The branches, along with the catkins, can make elegant and divine bouquets. |

This cultivar is a sterile triploid that produces very few if any seed pods. Aphrodite is an excellent flowering shrub that may be massed, planted in groups, or used as a specimen.
