Shrub: Quick Fire Hydrangea

 

Looking for an early bloomer?  QUICK FIRE blooms about a month before other hardy Hydrangea varieties. The flowers turn pink very quickly, and will be an extremely dark rosy-pink in the fall. Quick and easy to grow, the flowers on QUICK FIRE are not affected by soil pH. They are produced on ‘new wood’ and will bloom after even the harshest winters. Beautiful for use as a cut (fresh or dried) flower.

Most adaptable of all hydrangeas to different soil types, Quick Fire is not as water dependent as Hydrangea macrophylla and will tolerate some drought.  For showy blooms all season, add Quick Fire to your garden today!

 

Tree:  Forest Pansy Redbud

 

Forest Pansy RedbudStarting in early Spring, Forest Pansy Redbud delights with clusters of tiny, rose-purple, pea-like flowers blooming profusely on the branches and mature trunks for 2-3 weeks. (Flowers tend to be darker and more purplish than other species.)  Next, heart-shaped leaves unfurl as a bright reddish-purple and gradually mature to a more muted purple. Autumn foliage is a bouquet of reds, purples, oranges, and yellows.

A true harbinger of Spring, Forest Pansy Redbud is an excellent small tree for lawns, woodland gardens or naturalized areas.

 

Grass: Gold Bar miscanthus

 

With its dense and dramatic gold striping from the base of the grass to its top, this grass is a definite eyecatcher! It is exceptionally upright and compact in habit. At the end of October, burgundy inflorescences appear just above the blades. Gold Bar can be used in the mixed border or in a container. After 8 years, this showstopper can grow to 5 feet in height. Great for use in pots and in small urban gardens
