This purple form of the dwarf Lil’ Kim® hibiscus is perfect for containers and smaller gardens. It has the same compact habit but with plum-violet flowers accented by a red eye. The large – up to 3″ across – flowers are very striking against the dark, glossy foliage and are held up by very strong stems.
Another plant breakthrough from Proven Winners®/Color Choice®, ‘L’il Kim’® is the first dwarf variety of Rose of Sharon on the market opening up loads of landscape possibilities that weren’t available previously given the 8-10’ sizing of all others in this species. ‘L’il Kim’® is less than half the size meaning it will fit in small spaces or along the foundation without overpowering the area. Just because it’s small, don’t think that ‘L’il Kim’® is a wimp when it comes to blooming! Starting in mid July, big, beefy buds begin to open to reveal 2″ diameter, star shaped, pure white flowers with a stunning deep red center. The bloom is heavy, lasts into early September and the individual flowers last up to 3 days, 3 times longer than those on any other Hibiscus!! Even its foliage is better than its larger brethren showing better thickness and much deeper color than others. You’ll want to plant more than one ‘L’il Kim’® and why not with its easy care nature and its ability to thrive in full or half day sun.

This trouble free native straddles the line between tree and shrub but there is never any doubt of the outstanding characteristics it brings to the landscape. Aggressive growing, it quickly becomes a substantial landscape presence bringing substantial beauty to each season. Spring sees its large, bluish-green foliage emerge with a bronze tinge. Foliage darkens through the summer months hiding branches and providing thick covered protection for numerous bird species. As colder weather approaches, leaves turn a bright yellow providing a tremendous fall foliage show. After the foliage has left in late October, this plant blooms with its spidery yellow, strap-like petals complete with a spicy scent that enlivens the autumn landscape with the last flower of any ornamental of the season. Distinct gray bark adds winter interest to this American Beauties classic plant that grows in full sun or partial shade.

It seems like almost all Forsythia is showy but ‘Show Off’r stretches the bounds of showiness with a display of bloom that is an incredible blast of golden yellow color in April and early May on a plant that is denser, rounder and more controlled than ‘Lynwood Gold’ could ever think of being! With deep, dark green foliage it takes on a neater, more refined look in the summer months and, like most Forsythia, it’s perfect for grouping to make a border planting, but it will do so in a much more confined area without growing you out of house and home!

That’s right, pink flowers on a low spreading deutzia. A shower of elegant pink flowers creates a carpet of color. Great for mass plantings because of its neat, mounded habit and rich burgundy-purple fall color.
This gold medal winner is truly an unrivaled Olympic champion. Introduced by our National Arboretum, ‘Nikko’ is even more compact than the species with even more show stopping bloom! Low and spreading, this fine textured deciduous shrub lends itself to such an explosion of blooms lasting up to 2 weeks that it completely obscures the small, light to medium green foliage… its like Deutzia gracillis on steroids! Culturally the same as the species, ‘Nikko’ thrives in rich, well-drained soil, plenty of sun, and with a good pruning after flowering. Plant it in groups in amongst perennials, along a foundation or in a small border area for a fiercely snowy early to mid May storm of bloom.
Dark green needles arranged in numerous branchlets create a graceful, broadly pyramidal habit. Great little specimen tree that is sure to draw interest from everyone. Slow growth and compact habit are perfect for smaller spaces in the landscape. Perfect as a specimen.
A feast for the eyes from spring through autumn! Winecraft Black® is the first Proven Winners smokebush, so you know it must be special. In spring, round leaves emerge rich purple but as summer’s heat comes on, they turn a deep near-black tone and finally light up in an array of reds and oranges in fall. In early summer, large, soft panicles of bloom appear that become the misty “smoke” that makes this such a popular landscape plant. Unlike other smokebush, it naturally has a rounded, dwarf habit which means that finally, every landscape has room for this unique plant.
A beacon in the winter landscape with its bright red stems, this selection is also easy to grow and tolerant of poor soils, wet areas and the coldest climates. Great for massing, this selection has good red-purple fall color, and should be trimmed yearly to remove old growth as new growth has the best winter color. Excellent hedge, screen or in mass plantings. Red stems add color to the winter landscape. Perfect for wet areas and reclamation landscapes.
A more compact form of shrubby dogwood, this selection has beautiful cream-edged variegated foliage and stand-out bright red twigs that really enhance the winter landscape. Great for massing or for use in slightly smaller areas than ‘Elegantissima’.
Sugartina® ‘Crystalina’ enhances all the great summer attributes of our native Clethra and puts it all together in a tight, dense, small landscape friendly package. Dense and full, this wider growing than tall selection will never breach the 3′ foot range in height yet it is still a powerhouse in the landscape with deep green, impossible glossy foliage and branch ends topped with 2 to 4″ long spires of pure white, incredible fragrant flowers in late July and August. The scent from this plant’s bloom will fill your yard with sweetness and will attract quite a following of local butterflies, too!

Save the best for last. Flowering later than other varieties, paniculata goes into bloom in September and continues through October. Tiny 1″ blooms cover the plant, and carry a light fragrance. Easy to maintain, it can be evergreen in milder climates. Class 3.
Buttonbush has long been prized as a native, but it was way too big for most landscapes. Not anymore! We’ve cut the size in half and added colorful red fruit and glossy foliage. Add in cool looking, fragrant white flowers and you’ve got a delightful plant that shines from spring to fall.
This American Beauties native has a storied American history on the east coast as its common name came from the fact that its foliage was used as a tea substitute during the Revolutionary War. Today, it’s just a great shrub that will thrive in a sunny, well-drained location! Four inch long, deep green leaves with hairy, gray reverse tightly pack this branchy plant to form a dense, compact, spreading plant that pushes flower stalks from leaf bases on the upper ends of branches in early May. Tiny white flowers cluster on these stalks in late May filling the garden with sweet fragrance and attracting butterflies and hummingbirds from far and wide. New Jersey Tea is easy to grow and drought resistant… it’s tough enough for rough landscape spots but refined enough to use as specimen or border planting in a more formal setting.
