We are thrilled to be able to bring this outstanding plant, previously known only by collectors and plant geeks, to everyone in North America. Temple of Bloom seven-son flower is a beautiful, easy to grow small tree which simply can’t be matched for year-round beauty. In spring, the handsome leaves emerge, each sporting dramatically deep veins that make the plant stand out in the landscape. As the season progresses, the leaves grow larger and develop a long, twisting tip. Come August, when everything else is winding down, Temple of Bloom seven-son flower is just coming into its own, as it becomes covered in big clusters of fragrant white flowers that hummingbirds and other pollinators flock to. They last for weeks before gracefully falling to the ground to reveal vivid red, fan-like bracts, which make it look like the plant is blooming again in a completely different color. As winter comes and the leaves drop, the plant’s elegant frame is revealed, along with amazing light tan peeling bark. Temple of Bloom® seven-son flower is the perfect choice for a special spot in your landscape. Plant it where it can be seen, often, and enjoyed any time of the year. Available in better garden centers in spring 2019.
NewGen Freedom® is a relatively vigorous, rounded cultivar that is slightly taller than wide. It has beautiful glossy medium green foliage. Its habit is more uniform and tighter than ‘;Wintergreen’; or ‘;Winter Gem’; thus making it an excellent choice for many formal and residential landscapes. Deer resistant! It was selected due to its high tolerance of boxwood blight and resistance to boxwood leafminer. Its vigor helps it create an attractive plant quicker than many cultivars but it also makes annual pruning a must. With annual pruning, this plant makes a fabulous specimen.
NewGen Independence® was chosen based on its very high tolerance to boxwood blight as well as its outstanding performance in boxwood leafminer trials. It’s growth is similar to ‘;Green Beauty’; boxwood but has much better boxwood leafminer resistance and the leaves are slightly more elongated. NewGen Independence® is a very deep green medium-sized cultivar that holds excellent color throughout the winter. It has a rounded habit that is nearly as tall as wide. NewGen Independence® can be used in formal plantings where a medium-sized round plant is desired. It would be a replacement for Buxus sempervirens ‘;Suffruticosa’; (English Boxwood) for foundational plantings. Branching structure is very strong allowing it to withstand most moderate to heavy snow loads. Deer resistant.
This upright, narrow grower has an irresistible, soft green foliage and a shape that lends itself to tons of landscape functions from hedging to specimen use. Adaptable and easy to grow.
A repeat flowering selection, Snow White Sensation™ boasts 2″ double flowers borne in clusters that bloom abundantly in spring and then again in summer. A versatile shrub with pure white, deliciously fragrant flowers, it will shine as a single specimen or thrill when planted as a group to form a spectacular hedge. Attractive foliage on gracefully arching branches guarantees easy placement in the garden with other flowering shrubs.
Winterberry is an awesome plant for winter landscapes, but many homeowners don’t have room for a traditional variety. An excellent, heavy fruiting dwarf variety, Berry Poppins is ideal for gardeners who want bright winter color and fruit for cutting but don’t have room for a typical I. verticillata. It is heavier fruiting than ‘Red Sprite’. Use Mr. Poppins as a pollinator.
Like all good Oakleaf Hydrangea, ‘Alice’ is one of those plants whose traits never seem to overwhelm you yet their accumulation leaves you with the deepest admiration of what it brings to your landscape. ‘Alice’ is an aggressive, upright growing selection from Michael Dirr that takes the best of what all Oakleaf Hydrangeas offer and improves it. Its July flowers are huge with arching cones of white bloom that reach up to 14″ in length. These flowers persist atop the plant backed by rough hewn but far more disease resistant foliage for weeks turning pink then beige as time passes putting on an underrated show into the fall. From there, the foliage takes center stage with rich hues of deep scarlet, purple and burgundy to light up the fall. It even puts on a winter show with rich copper to brown exfoliating bark. ‘Alice’ is a plant for all seasons and one that thrives on little care in partial sun spots in the landscape.
If your older forsythia takes up too much room and has a weak flower display, try this new, improved variety. It has the same fabulous flower display you get with Show Off® forsythia, but in a smaller package. This new dwarf forsythia is a mass of bright yellow spring flowers from base to tip. It fits into smaller mixed borders and foundation plantings, but where it saves in space, Starlet definitely makes up for with its mass of bright sunny yellow flowers that cover it from base to tip. Its deer-resistance is a major perk to this bright beauty!
Sword-like evergreen leaves add loads of texture to the landscape along with great color as it foliage is accented with a bright band of gold down the center of each leaf. Tall spikes rise above the foliage bearing creamy-white bell-like flowers in July. Superb year round color, form and texture in the perennial garden or shrub border. Drought resistant. Thrives in poor, dry soils. Easy to grow and very hardy. Nearly fool proof in the landscape.

The new look purple leaved weigela! Spilled Wine has dark red, wavy leaves and a spreading habit. Its hot pink-magenta flowers are similar to those of Wine & Roses, but this is a smaller plant that is wider than it is tall. This is a wonderful plant for adding lots of color in mass plantings, or tucked into an existing border.
The flowers on this easy to grow, very hardy deciduous shrub open pure white with a yellow throat and then change to pink, giving you multiple colors on a single plant The flowers really pop against the bright green foliage. Blooms in May and reblooms until frost while atrracting hummingbirds all the while.
Here’s a new sensation that will take the plant world and your customers by storm. In fact, this little gem is the perfect storm of dense, neat plant form, incredible foliage color that excites throughout the growing season, and superb flower color that seems to intensify the foliage color. ‘My Monet’™ is sure to be a favorite for its ability to provide luscious color in the landscape for a long period without hogging precious space with its mounding, dense form. Even better, it’s a plant that is a customer magnet… it’s just so cute and so attractive, it will sell from spring to fall and will be one of your best impulse sales items. This sport of Weigela ‘Tango’ features deep green foliage with creamy white edging that is infused with varying intensities of pink. Deep reddish-pink flowers add to the mix in late May through June but they are hardly necessary with the cacophony of color already present. ‘My Monet’™ is easy to grow, love full sun and makes an outstanding grouping anywhere in the landscape.

Fast growing and upright with rich, medium-green foliage, this selection is an ideal choice for screening in a hurry! Rumored to be much less palatable to deer than occidentalis types, ‘Green Giant’ is a plant your customers will want to have.
North Pole® is an easy-to-grow evergreen that will thrive in your landscape through thick or thin. Actually, thick or thin may be the perfect analogy for this plant. Its thin form will make you sit up and take notice as it stays thinner than ‘Emerald Green’, one of the most popular Arborvitae sold today. While it stays thin and narrow, its tightly held, fan-like foliage thickly covers its narrow form to produce a plant impenetrable to vision, making it a wonderful hedge plant when planted en masse. Its form and ease of growth also make it a perfect single specimen plant for any narrow space in a sunny or partially sunny landscape. North Pole®, unlike other Arborvitae, is also masterful about retaining its dark, deep green foliage color even in the harshest of winters, a claim among others like Thuja that is often made but less often truly borne out. North Pole® prefers moist, well-drained soil but will tolerate drier soils once established.
Nearly perfectly globe shaped evergreen has finely textured, bright golden spring foliage. Very slow growing variety with fantastic autumn colors of deep red. This selection is a worthy choice for a rock garden, as a specimen or as an accent plant. Requires little maintenance.
An exciting new brilliant Arborvitae offer eye popping yellow edging to the lime green foliage. With the onset of cold winter temperatures the color matures into warmer tones of amber-gold. Great focal point or privacy screen evergreen. Well behaved growth habit will fit in where others do not. Adds dramatic vertical effect of color and texture to the landscape. A yellow/amber beacon that can be easily seen and enjoyed.
