Rich purple exteriors frame bright white centers on this bloom not only in spring, but all summer long and even into the fall as ‘Jane’ will surprise you with her charming ways and spontaneous small bursts of blooms even in the off season! Plant ‘Jane’ in a sunny location with some afternoon shade for the best results and you will revel in what an incredible specimen this low branched, spreading tree can be.

Every American Beauties garden should have a home for a plant this versatile and this easy to grow. Oval and upright, Spicebush is a perfect plant for grouping as a backdrop or screen in any garden in almost any location since it tolerates shadier, moist conditions without missing a beat. Tiny yellow-green flowers emerge before this plant’s pungent foliage develops, providing early season nectar to native bees and butterflies. Deep green leaves provide great summer cover for birds but it’s this plant’s red berries that have birds coming from far and wide to snack on, whether they are local natives or migratory birds passing through. Showy yellow fall foliage color will really stand out in the garden.
If ever there was an under appreciated easy-care shrub that gives throughout the year, this has got to be it. Evergreen, slow growing and deer-resistant, this versatile beauty will please you 12 months a year, brightening the shade landscape wherever it resides. The milky foliage, mottled delightfully with shades of green, pink, and bronze, is pure summer happiness. Adding to the pleasure are the extravagant, long lasting, drooping clusters of small, creamy flowers that are well suited to cutting and show from late May through June. Autumn adds to the grand performance by providing intense purplish bronzing to the evergreen foliage that lasts through the winter. Plant in semi-shade for best results, and be sure to feed early in the season with an all-purpose acid fertilizer.

If you are looking for a spreading Juniper, but one that is a little less aggressive than some of the other groundcover types, Dwarf Japanese Garden Juniper is your plant. It still covers ground and tolerates sun and poor dry soils as well as any of the others, but it will spread only about 2/3 as much as other groundcover Junipers. It will bring a distinguished, more formal look to the garden with distinct, light to medium green prickly foliage arranged on trailing branches that arch to form a low mound at the plant’s center, then stiffly cruise along the soil line through the garden. Plant it in groups or use it singly and enjoy its formal difference!
