Hydrangea paniculata ‘Bobo’ – A very floriferous compact growing Peegee type. Excellent for foundation plantings and small spaces. Hydrangea paniculata ‘Firelight’ and the compact ‘Firelight Tidbit’ – In our opinion the best paniculatas with white blooms fading to pomegranate red. Hydrangea paniculata ‘Limelight’ and ‘Little Lime’– An extraordinary paniculata that boasts large lime green flowers. This vigorous grower has sturdy stems. which make it an excellent cut flower. Both tree and shrub forms available. Hydrangea paniculata ‘Pink Diamond’ – Tall, airy panicles of creamy flowers opening in late summer turning pink and then a deep shade of rose. Tree and shrub forms available. Hydrangea paniculata ‘Pinky Winky’ – This new selection exhibits outstanding large, strong-stemmed upright white blooms, quickly turning a pleasing shade of pink. Lengthy bloom period and great growth habit make this new selection one of the best. Hydrangea paniculata ‘Quick Fire’ and ‘Little Quick Fire’– An early-flowering selection with pure white bloom quickly turning reddish pink and remaining effective for months. Excellent new selection in tree and shrub forms. Hydrangea paniculata ‘Vanilla Strawberry’ – Enormous flower heads of a blend of vanilla and strawberry. Plants grow upright, cascading later in the season. Hydrangea paniculata ‘Unique’ – Large flowering selection creates an outstanding floral display from late summer into fall. Hydrangea arborescens – Compact early blooming, durable and adaptable. Selections include ‘Annabelle’, ‘Hayes Starburst’, ‘Incrediball’, ‘Invincibelle Spirit II’ , ‘Invincibelle Ruby’ and ‘Invincibelle Wee White’. Hydrangea macrophylla – ‘Hass Halo’, ‘Mini Mauvette’ and ‘Twist ’n’ Shout’ – These are the hardiest and most reliable re-bloomers developed yet, with violet blue to pink blooms, lovely red stems and red fall color. Hydrangea petiolaris – Spectacular shade-tolerant climbing vine with attractive rich green foliage, reddish shredding bark and fragrant white flowers through summer into fall. Our favorite flowering vine. Hydrangea quercifolia – Oakleaf Hydrangea. Selections include ‘Ruby Slippers’, and ‘Snow Queen’. Outstanding in woodland gardens or partial shade. Field-grown and container plants available. Hydrangea serrata – ‘Blue Billows’, ‘Tuff Stuff ’ and our favorite ‘Tiny Tuff Stuff ’. These are the hardiest and most reliable of the lace caps.

7-29-2021

To Customers Considering Morrison’s Home Improvement: For years, we held off remodeling our 40-year-old but functional kitchen because we could not find a one-stop design/build contractor until discovering via a referral and search Steve Morrison and the talented team at Morrison’s Home Improvement. At initial discussion with Steve, it was so clear we had the right people for a complete kitchen remodel that we decided to concurrently renovate the primary bathroom. Beginning with concept outline, to beautiful design layout and inspiring product selection with designer Anna, to insightful ideas, solutions and consistent communication with outstanding project manager, Tom, to the artful and expert “fit and finish” skill of lead carpenter, Johnny, and Les, along with the patient and consistently friendly Jodi and Stephaney in the office who cheerfully took all our calls - this project was a pleasure. Our total kitchen and bath renovation far exceeded our expectations, was completed in a fair and timely manner during COVID-19 even with supply and manufacturing challenges, and within our budget scope. The team at Morrison’s Home Improvement re-imagined and splendidly elevated our old kitchen and small adjacent laundry area into a modern open, beautiful and imminently practical chefs kitchen and inclusive laundry that perfectly fits and flows with the look and feel of our cedar and pine home, and transformed the primary bathroom and small unused adjacent galley kitchen into an elegant spa bath oasis. The design, construction, installation and finish of our kitchen and bathroom are exceptional.

Before Remodel

Notable examples of the details that make the difference include: • Anna: determining the layout how to shift components by mere inches to allow highend swing out shelving to utilize a blind corner; positioning cabinetry and appliances to maximize both cabinet and counter space and gracious kitchen symmetry, and opening a 4-inch filler to create the perfect location for cooks cutting boards - instead of taking valuable drawer space. • Tom: thoughtfully suggesting a bay window behind the kitchen sink which added marvelous visual depth and light to the kitchen; finding an innovative solution to a tile manufacture delay to maintain timely cabinet installation, and brilliantly figuring out how to get insulating film on a new blind between the glass window in the primary bathroom so that it exceeded code requirements. • Johnny & Les: alertly identifying and communicating that we needed to replace the bathroom ceiling insulation due to unseen/unknown exterior incursion; expertly opening sufficient cabinet space to allow for the desired oversized Ruvati under-mount kitchen sink, and perfectly designing the molding around the cutting board space so that opening flows seamlessly with the cabinetry. • And Steve, whose innovative design “water flowing from glass” was an elegant solution for our primary bathroom glass shower wall adjacent to the 2-person soaking tub.

After Remodel

We look forward to utilizing Morrison’s Home Improvement on future projects. Steve Morrison has our contact information for reference if desired. Sincerely, Bradley M. & Bonnie S. West Stockbridge, MA
