You Might Want To Know.... Fall 2008

trees and shrubs
Let us introduce you to two of our favorite, small ornamental shrubs: 'My Monet' Weigela (on the left) provides a soft contrast in borders and beds. It has unusual variegated foliage in shades of green, cream, and pink. Planted in a sunny location, they give you the easy care of a shrub, but the bonus of colors and flowers. Cranberry Cotoneaster (pronuounced cot-tone-ee-aster) is another easy-care, low-growing shrub. It makes a great, low hedge with glossy green leaves on sturdy branches giving way to loads of bright red berries in early fall and into the winter. Once-yearly pruning in the winter will maintain their shape and fullness.
