1. New! Gaultheria hookeri

Under-used yet so showy, this Chinese Wintergreen is a low-growing, spreading shrub, with tiny leaves of glossy deep green that remain on the plant year-round, topped first by dangling bell-shaped white blooms, then by clusters of round blue-purple fruit. The berries ripen in late summer and persist all fall, blazing periwinkle, azure, royal purple, and navy blue. A shade-loving woodland plant, it asks only for good drainage and adequately moist soil. 1-quart container.

Peonies — A Legacy of Rich Color!

1. New & Exclusive! Paeonia ‘Lois Kelsey’

A truly distinctive Peony, this 1934 introduction offers big semi-double blooms of pure white, the petals deeply cut and fringed for a starry, multi-pointed look.

Red carpels add a blush to the small yellow center, and a subtle fragrance perfumes every bloom. Mid- to late season. Bareroot.

A color breakthrough for Peonies! The deep coral buds open to bowl-shaped blooms with gracefully incurved petals of coral-peach surrounding a frilly, glowing mass of stamens. One of the few Peonies to flourish in the southern end of its hardiness range, ‘Coral Charm’ is an exceptionally robust garden plant, reaching 36 inches tall and covered with blooms.

5. Paeonia lactiflora ‘Top Brass’

The tricolored effect of this Roy Klehm introduction has no equal in the Peony family! As many-petalled and exquisite as a Rose, it regales with a marvelous honey scent and long-lasting freshness in the vase or the garden. A plant in full bloom is a tropical sunset of colors, with shades of salmon, coral, and peach mingling with the ivory, canary-yellow, and appleblossom-pink primary tones.

4. Paeonia ‘Snow Swan’

Mail Order Exclusive!

Subtly fragrant and perfectly symmetrical, these double-flowered, 5- to 6-inch white blooms gleam in the midseason Peony garden. Each stem sets multiple buds, giving you armloads of long-lasting beauty. A 1989 introduction from Roy Klehm, it is descended from the popular favorite P. 'Bowl of Cream.' Bareroot.

While many peonies lose their tight, lush habit by late summer, this exquisite singleflowered beauty remains attractive in the garden all season. The bowl-shaped blooms of ivory with a charming golden ruff arise in midseason and hold brilliantly, making ‘Snow Swan’ the best single white we have ever seen. Bred by Roy G. Klehm, this is a splendid addition to garden and vase! Bareroot.

The flowers are followed by translucent strawberry-like fruit, a magnet for songbirds in late summer and fall. And the glossy, leathery green leaves remain right through winter, sloughing off only after the new spring foliage arrives!

3. Heptacodium miconioides

(Syn. H. jasminoides.) (Seven-Son Flower.) An intriguing tree from China so rare it was recently thought to no longer exist in the wild.

It bears clusters of many small, sweetly fragrant blooms that make large, cascading inflorescences of sparkling white in early fall. The rosy-purple bracts that follow are even more spectacular than the blossoms, and the prominently veined foliage assumes a splendid fall hue of muted purple, strongest when grown in a sunny location. This tree is so new (the Arnold Arboretum obtained seeds only in 1980) that no mature plants yet exist in North America, but we do know our 6-year specimen has grown vigorously to 15 feet, proving pest and disease resistant. Join us in this horticultural adventure by trying Heptacodium in your garden—it should grow into a specimen that fits beautifully into today’s smaller landscapes! 1-quart container.

Simply without peer, this spectacular small weeping tree is the female form of the Kilmarnock Willow.

The branches cascade gracefully right down to the ground around a slender trunk. Ideal for small gardens, its graceful form, foliage and flowers provide year-round interest. Best in moist to damp soil.

1. Magnolia ‘Elizabeth’

PP#4,145. All Magnolias are adaptable and vigorous, but ‘Elizabeth’ is the expert at handling temperature extremes! Surviving -20 degree Fahrenheit without injury, just months later it basks in 100+ degree heat and humidity. And in early spring, before the new foliage emerges, this lovely tree is dotted with bright, fragrant yellow blossoms from base to tip. This robust tree begins blooming at a very early age, and is easily pruned to desired shape — including a multi-trunk form for increased horizontal beauty, or even a compact size for container growth. 1-gallon container.

1. Corylus avellana ‘Contorta’

A real conversation piece, discovered in England 150 years ago, with fantastically twisted and almost corkscrew-like branches. These resemble the famed, twisted and gnarled walking stick of the old-time Scots comedian, Harry Lauder. Plant it where you can enjoy its curious silhouette against the winter snow for a real landscape highlight.

A favorite for flower arrangers, too. Slow growing and carefree, it grows to 8 to 10 feet in either sun or shade. A hard-to-find specimen plant. Own root plants—no suckering.

And in fall, the foliage color takes on a wonderful mix of gold, bronze, scarlet, and plum. 1-gallon container.

Because it is a sterile triploid, it is both exceedingly vigorous and dedicated to flower (rather than seed) production, resulting in very heavy flowering! ‘Aphrodite’ is valuable for color in late summer and fall when few shrubs are in bloom. 1-gallon container.

Everything about this new National Arboretum introduction is ideal for the home garden. First, the size is much smaller and very dense, for a full, rounded, bushy look.

Second, the huge 6½” inflorescences are held up and out, above the foliage, and keep their position even after rain and wind. Third, the blooms open pure white, then turn a rich pink, so that many shades are present at once on the shrub. Fourth, the large oakleaf-shaped foliage turns from dark green to rich reddish mahogany in autumn.

A spectacular all-season shrub for the front of the border, foundation, and accent plantings. 1-gallon container.

2. Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Blushing Bride’

PP#17,169. ‘Blushing Bride’ is “my most significant introduction to date,” declares Dr. Michael Dirr, and we heartily concur. Bred from Endless Summer® x ‘Veitchii,’ this reblooming mophead is an improvement in every way over its famous parent. The floretsare semi-double, adding depth to the 6-inch bloomheads; they emerge pure white then acquire a faint patina of either pink or blue with maturity. Most importantly, they rebloom much more quickly than those of Endless Summer®, arising on stronger stems that hold well in garden or vase. The glossy foliage offers better resistance to mildew than its parent, turning brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and red in autumn. Highly recommended. 1-gallon container.

1. Kalmia latifolia ‘Keepsake’

Arising in late spring to keep the Azaleas company, ‘Keepsake’ begins with masses of 10-sided buds glowing like raspberry punch. They arise in 3- to 4-inch clusters that simply radiate color, putting the final spring bulbs to shame and ushering in the long season of summer color. The new spring foliage unfurls in bright reddishbronze tones, adding some early color to the display. Very resistant to leafspot, the foliage remains dense, glossy, and unblemished, very plentiful on a well-branched shrub. ‘Keepsake’ is the work of five generations of controlled crosses by master Kalmia breeder Dick Jaynes, and thrives in any well-drained soil (slightly acidic is best, but not required). Evergreen in mild areas. 1-quart container.

4. Geranium ‘Rozanne’

PP#12,175. Intensely colored 1-inch blooms of violet-blue with a large white eye begin appearing on this graceful plant in early summer, and unlike most Geraniums (which fizzle when the temperature climbs too high), keep coming until early fall. Fantastic for bedding, borders, patio, and containers in the South and Southwest, where many Geraniums have short and unsatisfactory bloom seasons. Then there’s the habit. Open and airy as all Hardy Geraniums are, ‘Rozanne’ is more compact, managing to send up more flowering stems in less space than most others. As a result, you get a much bigger bloom show, and the plant looks lush rather than rangy. (How many other Hardy Geraniums would you care to show off, solo, in a hanging basket?) 1-quart container.

(cv. 'Minispot.') Surround yourself with the soft colors of an exotic sunset. This lovely, trouble-free Rose of Sharon is as beautiful as its name suggests, bursting forth in midsummer with pink, semi-double flowers. The buds are medium pink but fade to a softer hue once open, while a deep reddish-purple center adds dramatic highlights. Superb as a hedge, screen, or back-of-the-border standout, it's ready to bloom abundantly for years to come. 1-gallon container.

PP#20,443. Exhibiting the darkest wine-purple foliage we’ve seen on a hardy Hibiscus, this selection is highly attractive, even before it flowers. But the blooms, of course, refuse to be ignored, stretching a full 8” and flaunting rose-veined, pink petals and a deep magenta eye that radiates outward. Since it’s an indeterminate bloomer, buds appear at many nodes up the stem, rather than just at the tips, meaning a much longer season and a plant covered with flowers on all sides. 1-quart container.

PPAF. When it comes to dramatic garden presence, it’s hard to beat this fantastic specimen. It’s very floriferous, producing immense 8-9”, mauve-lavender blooms with a deep red eye that are set artistically against the dense mound of bright green, maple-like foliage. Since it’s an indeterminate bloomer, buds appear at many nodes up the stem, rather than just at the tips, meaning a much longer season and a plant that’s covered with flowers on all sides. 1-quart container.

PPAF. Even in zone 4 you can enjoy a long, lovely season of stunning 9-inch (or more!) blooms of brilliant magenta, easily the size of dinner plates and just stunning in large numbers on this compact plant. Half the size of most others, it is just 4 to 5 feet tall and 5 feet wide, with great branching and very, very heavy budding. These gently ruffled blooms with overlapping petals are a tropical delight for any full sun setting, opening from midsummer into autumn. Treat yourself to this treasure! 1-quart container.

PP#21,984. Hummingbirds simply will not be able to resist these brilliant red, 7”, attractively textured blooms with heavily overlapping petals. Standing atop 4’ stalks from midsummer through early fall, this superb hybrid is one of the most stunning selections you’ll ever grow. Its glossy green, maple-like leaves with slight purple undertones form a full, compact, and pristine habit, while its drought tolerance and impressive flowering ability mean a long and beautiful bloom period. 1-quart container.

Its growth is amazing (3-6 inches per week, well into summer!), and the foliage is lovely in its own right, the upper leaves turning a deep olive tone, while those below stay maroon.

1. Anemone sylvestris

An ideal ground cover for partially shaded areas, beautifully combining charm and resilience. Its glistening white, lightly fragrant blooms, measuring nearly 2” across, appear singly on bare stems above dark green, divided leaves. And once the blossoms fade, you’re rewarded with fascinating white, woolly seed heads.

It spreads rapidly, making an ideal underplanting for full sun perennials such as Asiatic Lilies. 1-quart container.

An extraordinarily useful plant for partial shade, this Pig Squeak offers clusters of scarlet-pink blooms on burgundy stems just above its thick, leathery green leaves. Persisting all spring and often re-blooming in autumn, the flowers are attractive, but just as impressive is the brilliant shades of red and bronze the foliage acquires in autumn and winter. Easy to grow in a variety of soils and conditions, including dry shade and coastal locations. It is evergreen and unpalatable to deer and rabbits. 1-quart container.

3. Brunnera x ‘King’s Ransom’

PPAF. CPBR3977. Possibly the only Brunnera more appealing than ‘Jack Frost’ is this cultivar, its variegated cousin! The mounding 5-inch leaves of muted green overlaid with silver are edged in bright yellow in spring, maturing to cream and remaining right through until frost. Covered in early spring with bright blue blooms that may remind you of Forget-Me-Nots, this introduction from Walters Gardens is a magnificent sight in the shade border.

Illuminate the shade garden with this stunning new American hybrid! ‘Ghost’ is a terrifically versatile fern, outstandingly lovely in its own right as well as being the perfect foil for surrounding green- and blue-leaved plants. A cross between Lady Fern and Japanese Silver-Painted Fern, Ghost combines finely divided foliage, excellent upright habit, and silvery-gray fronds so luminous they appear to glow. Ghost is happily indifferent to soil type, and tolerates more dryness than most of its family.

It grows at a moderate rate, forming an attractive clump 2 to 3 feet tall and 18 to 24 inches wide after several years. If planting multiple ‘Ghosts’, space them about a foot apart in partial to full shade. A wonderful groundcover or container choice, too!

1-quart container.

A miniature Dogwood with showy, white woodland wildflowers arising on 3- to 8-inch, umbrella shaped foliage! The whorled, dark green leaves spread over time into a large, glossy mat.

3. Cotoneaster horizontalis

Truly a four-season shrub, this semi-evergreen begins spring with starry pink flowers, followed by glossy, round berries of bright scarlet that persist throughout autumn and well into winter. Small, rounded leaves of deep green turn reddish orange to maroon in autumn. The growth pattern of this groundcover is dense and rather stiff, with bristly shoots jutting outward in a herringbone pattern. Useful for espaliering or scrambling over stones in a rock garden as well as covering ground. Slow-growing and unappetizing to deer, Rockspray Cotoneaster attracts bees, butterflies, and birds into the garden, and is quite drought-tolerant once established. Unusual and useful in every season. 1-gallon container.

Very free-flowering, its small, pinkinsh-white bell-shaped flowers last for a full 6 weeks, followed by plenty of beautiful red berries. Vigorous and trouble free. 1-quart container.
