The new season brings new projects, landscape designs and the opportunity to bring new plants to your landscape plans. One of the best things about working for a large wholesale nursery supplier is the spring, and seeing all the new plant varieties we are bringing in. Here are just a few of my favorites.<\/p>\n

Aronia melanocarpa Low Scape\u00ae Mound<\/strong>: White spring flowers followed by purple berries. Glossy foliage and compact mounding habit make it ideal for mass planting, edging, or groundcover. Bright red fall color make it a full season winner. Grows 12-24″h x 18-24″w.<\/p>\n

Deutzia x rosea \u2018Nikko Blush\u2019<\/strong>: Compact, low growing form with soft pink flowers in the spring and deep burgundy fall color. Perfect for foundation plantings or a low hedge.<\/p>\n

\"Hydrangea<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Hydrangea serrata Tuff Stuff \u2122<\/strong> and Tiny Tuff Stuff \u2122<\/strong>: Hardy, re-blooming reddish-pink lacecaps that bloom on old and new wood, from early summer to frost. Blue color with acidic soils, and pink with alkaline. Bud hardy, bloom reliable and a real beauty! <\/p>\n

\"Spirea<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Spiraea Double Play\u00ae Candy Corn\u2122:<\/strong> Bright candy apple red foliage emerges in spring and matures to a bold yellow. New leaves the rest of the season are blaze orange. Great for mass planting, borders or hedges. Grows 18-24″h x 18-30″w. <\/p>\n

Physocarpus Little Devil\u2122 (‘Donna May’)<\/strong>:  This compact Ninebark has dark burgundy-green foliage. Small purplish-white flowers in late spring. Low maintenance and mildew resistant.<\/p>\n

\"Coral<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

New Knock Out\u00ae and Drift\u00ae landscape roses:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coral Knock Out\u00ae (‘Radral’)<\/strong>: Good bloomer, unique deep coral color. Upright to rounded habit. New foliage is bronze red. Blooms spring through fall.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Peachy Knock Out\u00ae (Radgor’)<\/strong>: Pink petals with yellow centers, giving a peach effect. Blooms abundantly from spring through fall.<\/p>\n

White Knock Out\u00ae (‘Radwhite’)<\/strong>: Single flowers are crisp white. Dark green foliage, new growth almost black. Blooms spring through fall and maintains a compact habit.<\/p>\n

Lemon Drift\u00ae (‘Meisentmil’)<\/strong>: Newest addition to the Drift\u00ae series. Compact, rounded groundcover rose. Bright yellow flowers. Grows 1.5′ h x 2’w. Great disease resistance and drought tolerance.<\/p>\n
