This shrub contains long, arching shoots that fill the air with a fruity scent from summer to autumn. It is vigorous and undemanding and will continually send up new shoots. Plant in spring or fall.
The redbud is a tree that is valued far more than its small size. Some might suggest no less than “one of our most beautiful native trees”. What makes the redbud so special is its gift of spring color and its hardy adaptability. Many landscapes are made all the more beautiful with the addition of this Redbud, which is distinguishable by divided, multiple trunks and a graceful, rounded crown. It generally has a short, often twisted trunk and spreading branches.
Silky Dogwood
Regular price
$8.00
Cornus amomum
The Silky Dogwood is a large shrub grown in an upright rounded form. When young the stems are a stunning bright red in the fall, winter and early spring turning to a reddish brown come summer. As it matures, the stems remain the reddish brown year round until eventually maintaining a gray pigment. Although sometimes mistaken for Red Osier Dogwood, the brown pith and blue toned fruits distinguishes this from its lookalike. Although highly tolerant of shade, they do not thrive well in droughty conditions.
The Pussy Willow produces very unique silver, velvety, upright flowers that are used widely in fresh and dried flower arrangements. This native deciduous shrub is often found in meadows and fields and around ponds, lakeshores and swamp edges.
