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.

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.

They did a wonderful job on the repair and renovation of our home (rebuilding exterior and interior walls, vaulting ceilings, removing of a dormer, creating custom closets, painting, building beams, etc.). They were polite, kept to themselves, worked well around us living in the home during the renovation, and their price was fair. Could not recommend the team enough! — Kate & Brian

Feline facts to purr over Shelters often are the first stop for people who want to become pet parents. Although shelters do their best to get these animals into new, loving homes, the Humane Society of the United States says roughly three million cats and dogs are euthanized in shelters each year. Sadly, 80 percent of those animals are healthy, treatable and adoptable. Learning what makes cats tick and their particular needs can help prospective pet parents decide if cats are right for them. It also helps to identify feline behaviors that can be problematic or may require correction when cats come into a home. • Food-motivated cats likely will not be tempted by sweet treats. Stick to savory options. Unlike dogs, cats do not have taste receptors for sweet flavors. • Lions may be kings of the jungle, but domesticated cats are kings among pets. They often beat out dogs as the most popular pet in North America. • Cats are very good at hearing sounds and their eyesight is exceptional as well. Cats have 32 ear muscles that allow for “directional hearing.” Comparatively, humans only have six ear muscles. Cats also can rotate their ears 180 degrees. • Developmentally speaking, the first year of a cat’s life is equal to the first 15 years of a human’s. After its second year, a cat is the equivalent of 25 in human years. • Domesticated cats can spend about 70 percent of the day sleeping. Another 15 percent is spent grooming. • Cats do not have nine lives. However, they have something called a “righting reflex.” The eyes and balance organs in the inner ear tell cats where they are in space so they can land on their feet. This is what helps them survive falls & some from more than 32 stories high. • The meow sound is not something cats innately produce to interact with other cats. Rather, cats began to meow to communicate with humans. • Spayed and neutered cats live longer than non-fixed cats. • Declawing cats is illegal in at least 22 countries, but not the United States. Cats scratch at items, so they’ll need scratching posts and other outlets for this behavior. • Cats will rub against people not only to be affectionate but also to mark out territory with scent glands around their faces. • Cat litters can be between one and nine kittens. • Cats can often jump up to five times as high as their own heights. • Even though cats have been depicted as drinking milk, dairy can give them an upset stomach and gas. Provide water instead. • Research shows that cats know and recognize their names, but often they do not come when called. This is a dismissive move. TF216017
