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.

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.

With a dense rounded form and a bird-attracting berry show that will light up the landscape, this underused plant deserves a little more attention. ‘Early Amethyst’ grows well in part shade or full sun and carries season long interest starting as new foliage emerges bronze in the spring and matures to a lush, deep green. Small, soft pink flowers bloom in late June followed by masses of small berries that start green and change to an electric purple color earlier than all the other Callicarpa in late August. Nice yellow fall foliage color makes the berries stand out even more!
We talk a lot about “winter interest” ? let’s talk now about spring, summer, autumn AND winter interest, because that’s what you get when you plant ‘Winter Gem’. Let’s start in the spring, when lime-green new growth explodes in a burst of chartreuse on stunning yellow young stems. This vigorous grower quickly becomes blanketed with fresh green, delightfully shiny foliage for the warm summer months. Late summer brings deep green, glossy, sun tolerant leaves that will delight you as they transition into autumn with their light golden bronzing to mark the descending temperatures. ‘Winter Gem’ is one of the easiest of the Boxwoods to grow and as easy to prune as the rest. In fact, a couple of light trims in season will encourage a neat compact form that will serve it well, whether it is being used as a specimen or it is grouped in sun or partial shade to produce a hedge or border planting.
If you still think boxwood is always uptight or rounded, you’ve got to see this rebellious specimen! Dwarf and spreading, this little gem gradually creeps over the landscape in a bright green wash of shiny tiny foliage, ever so slowly reaching its mature landscape dimensions. Whether casual or made formal by your pruning, this fine textured broadleaf evergreen has a different form and different foliage texture and color and is more relaxed than the other selections we offer, making it a unique presence in the landscape. ‘Tide Hill’ is maintenance-free and its bright green leaves hold their superb color all year long, even in the harshest winter weather. Plant it in full sun or partial shade and enjoy its different Boxwood appeal.
This is an improved, fast-growing form of ‘Winter Gem’. Its glossy evergreen foliage is attractive year-round, and it has excellent hardiness. This variety’s more upright habit makes it great for hedging. Faster growth means it will fill in more quickly than other varieties. Use it for edging or a low hedge in formal gardens.
Here’s another terrific selection of boxwood that is a product of the perfect union between the tremendously hardy and profoundly compact koreana and our “common” sempervirens, renowned for its excellent leaf color whether in blazing heat or a deep freeze plunging to 20 degrees. But there’s more! ‘Green Velvet’ boasts luxuriant foliage on its low, rounded form with outstanding pointed leaves that are simply irresistible and retain their green color well throughout the winter. If a rounded, natural shape isn’t what you desire, this is a magnificent cultivar for sculpting to the shape you desire. Provide any well-drained soil, sun or partly shaded conditions and ‘Green Velvet’ will thrive!
