Today’s Special is our Red Sprite Winterberry. These are growing in 2.5 inch containers for $5.46 each.
Easily grown in average, medium to wet soil in full sun to part shade. Adaptable to both light and heavy soils, but prefers moist, acidic, organic soils. Good tolerance for wet conditions (the species is native to swampy areas in Eastern North America). Winterberries are dioecious (separate male and female plants). This cultivar is a female plant and needs a male pollinator to produce the attractive red berries which are the signature of the winterberries. Generally one male winterberry (such as I. verticillata ‘Jim Dandy’ – K650) will be sufficient for pollinating 9-10 female ‘Nana’ plants. Prune to shape in early spring just before new growth begins. This female, deciduous winterberry cultivar is a large-berried, slow-growing, dwarf shrub with an upright, rounded habit. Typically grows only 2-3′ tall. Glossy medium green leaves drop in early autumn with no appreciable fall color. The whitish flowers are relatively inconspicuous. This female winterberry, as the common name suggests, produces profuse red berries which are extremely attractive in fall and winter, often persisting to early spring unless consumed by local bird populations. Often sold as Ilex verticillata ‘Red Sprite’. Zones 3 to 9.

Today’s Special is our Brilliant Red Chokeberry. Get 6 plants of this variety for $24.99.
Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Wide range of soil tolerance including boggy soils. Best fruit production usually occurs in full sun. Remove root suckers to prevent colonial spread. This red chokeberry cultivar is a deciduous shrub which typically grows slowly to 6-8′ tall and is perhaps most noted for its attractive glossy red berries and red fall foliage color. Tends to sucker somewhat like amelanchiers (serviceberries).
Clusters (corymbs) of white to pinkish, 5-petaled flowers (1/3″ in diameter) appear in spring. Flowers are followed by abundant glossy red fruits (3/8″ diameter) which appear in dense clusters along the branches. Fruits ripen in late summer and persist throughout fall and well into winter. Obovate to elliptic, glossy, dark green leaves (to 3″ long) are grayish-green beneath. Foliage turns bright red in autumn and compares favorably with burning bush (Euonymus alatus) for excellence of fall color.
Brilliantissima’ primarily differs from the species by (1) being more compact, (2) producing more lustrous foliage with superior red fall color and (3) producing larger, glossier and more abundant fruit. Common name is in reference to the tart and bitter berries which are technically edible but so astringent as to cause choking in those who try. Fruits are sometimes used to make tasty jams and jellies. Species is native to both wet and dry thickets primarily in eastern North America. Zones 4 to 9.

Super 6-Pack: Today’s Special is our Nearly Wild Rose. Get 6 plants of this variety for $24.99.
Best grown in medium moisture, slightly acidic, well-drained garden loams in full sun to part shade. Best flowering and disease resistance generally occur in full sun, however. Water deeply and regularly (mornings are best). Avoid overhead watering. Good air circulation promotes vigorous and healthy growth and helps control foliar diseases. Summer mulch helps retain moisture, keeps roots cool and discourages weeds.
Remove spent flowers to encourage rebloom. Crowns usually need winter protection in cold winter areas. Remove and destroy diseased leaves from plants, as practicable, and clean up and destroy dead leaves from the ground around the plants both during the growing season and as part of a thorough cleanup during winter (dormant season). Prune as needed in late winter to early spring. ‘Nearly Wild’ is a floribunda rose (‘Dr. W. Van Fleet’ x ‘Leuchstern’) which typically grows 2-3′ tall (less frequently to 4′) and as wide. It is a dense, shrubby plant which features clusters of mildly fragrant, single, pink roses (to 3″ diameter) with center clumps of prominent yellow stamens. Five-petaled flowers are reminiscent of some species roses hence the cultivar name. Flowers bloom continuously from May to frost. Glossy dark green foliage. Introduced by Brownwell in 1941.

Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Prefers moist loams, but tolerates a wide range of soils including slightly boggy ones.

Usually occurs in the wild in gravel or rocky stream beds or at the base of rocky slopes along streams. Noted for its extremely early (January to February-March) and lengthy (to 4 weeks) bloom period. Fragrant, globular flower clusters (to 3/4″ wide) have variable coloration, but flowers most frequently have yellow petals and reddish inner calyxes. Ovate, dull green leaves (2-5″) turn an attractive golden yellow in autumn. Extract obtained from the leaves, bark and stems was formerly used medicinally by native Americans for, inter alia, external treatment of sprains, bruises and inflammations.

Today’s Special is our San Jose Juniper. These are growing in 2 inch containers for $1.76 each. Chinese juniper is a dioecious evergreen conifer that is native to China, Japan, Mongolia and the Himalayas. It is usually seen in the wild as a conical tree to 50′ tall and 20′ wide, but also appears in much shorter shrubby or spreading forms. Foliage is dark green. Brown bark on mature stems peels in strips. Although species plants are rarely sold in commerce, a large number of cultivated varieties ranging in size from large trees to large/small shrubs to low-growing groundcovers have become popular ornamental landscape plants. Chinese juniper leaves come in two types: scale-like (adult) and awl/needle-like (juvenile). Cones (pollen and seed bearing) appear on different plants. Male plants produce catkin-like pollen cones. Female plants produce fleshy, berry-like, whitish-blue seed cones that usually acquire violet-brown tones as they mature over two years. ‘San Jose’ forms a tough, low-growing ground cover that rises to 1-1.5′ tall but spreads by rigid stems somewhat irregularly to 6-8′ wide. Sage green foliage (foliage on young plants is mostly needle-like, but foliage on mature plants is a combination of needle-like and scale-like). Foliage is attractive throughout the year. Zones 4 to 9.

Today’s Special is our European Snowball Viburnum (Viburnum opulus ‘Roseum’). These are growing in 3 inch containers for $6.62 each. Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Prefers loams with consistent moisture, but tolerates a wide range of soils. Species plants sometimes grow in wet or boggy soils in its native habitat. Prune as needed immediately after flowering. Viburnum opulus, commonly called European cranberry bush, is a highbush cranberry that is native to Europe, Asia and N. Africa. It is a deciduous shrub with a rounded spreading habit that typically grows to 10-15′ tall. It features lacecap-type white flowers in spring in flat-topped 3″ wide cymes of tiny fertile florets surrounded by larger sterile florets, drooping clusters of cranberry-like red berries (drupes) in fall and three lobed, maple-like, dark green leaves. By contrast, ‘Roseum’ is a sterile cultivar (no fertile florets and no cranberry-like fruit) that produces 3″ diameter pom-pom-like globular inflorescences (snowballs) of entirely sterile white flowers. Flowers bloom in May. Flowers acquire light rose flushing as they fade, hence the cultivar name of ‘Roseum’. Plants typically grow to 10-12′ tall with a rounded form. Sugar-maple like leaves are a soft green, generally becoming orange-red in fall. ‘Roseum’ is sold under a large number of common names. The common name of European snowball bush has been selected herein because ‘Roseum’ produces no cranberry-like fruit as suggested by the common name for the species (European cranberry bush). ‘Roseum’ is synonymous with and sometimes sold in commerce as V. opulus ‘Sterile’. Zones 3 to 8.

Today’s Special is our Spicebush (Lindera benzoin). These are growing in 4 inch containers for $10.80 each. Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Fall color is best in sunny areas. Tolerates full shade, but habit becomes more open and wide-spreading. Spicebush is a deciduous shrub with a broad, rounded habit which typically grows 6-12′ (less frequently to 15′) high in moist locations in bottomlands, woods, ravines, valleys and along streams. Clusters of tiny, apetulous, aromatic, greenish-yellow flowers bloom along the branches in early spring before the foliage emerges. Dioecious (male and female flowers on separate plants), with the male flowers being larger and showier than the female ones. Flowers of female plants give way to bright red drupes (to 1/2″ long) which mature in fall and are attractive to birds. Female plants need a male pollinator in order to set fruit, however. Drupes are very attractive, but are largely hidden by the foliage until the leaves drop. Thick, oblong-obovate, light green leaves (to 5″ long) turn an attractive yellow in autumn. Leaves are aromatic when crushed. The larva (caterpillar) of the spicebush swallowtail butterfly feeds on the leaves of this shrub. Lindera is named for the Swedish botanist, Johann Lindler. Zones 4 to 9.

Today’s Special is our Smooth Witherod Viburnum. These are growing in 3 inch containers for $6.62 each. Easily grown in average, medium to wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Prefers moist loams, but tolerates a wide range of soils including boggy ones. Pruning after flowering may be done, but will eliminate some of the late summer fruit display. For best cross-pollination and subsequent fruit display, plant shrubs in groups rather than as single specimens. Smooth witherod is a rounded, multi-stemmed, upright-spreading, deciduous shrub that typically grows in the wild to 5-12′ tall and as wide. It is native to low woods, swamps and bogs in the eastern and southeastern U. S. from Connecticut south to Florida and Louisiana. It features aromatic white flowers arranged in flat-topped clusters (cymes 2-5″ wide) in May-June. Flowers are followed by clusters of ovoid berries that change color as they ripen, from light pink to deep pink to blue to purplish-black. The berries are highly acidic but edible. Elliptic to oblong-lanceolate glossy dark green leaves (to 4″ long). Foliage sometimes turns an attractive maroon to dark red-purple in fall. In late summer to early fall, berries in shades of both deep pink and blue-purple often appear on the same cluster, in striking contrast to the foliage. This species is also sometimes commonly called possumhaw viburnum. Zones 5 to 9.

Today’s Special is our Common Winterberry (Ilex verticillata). These are growing in 4 inch containers for $10.67 each. These are unsexed. Easily grown in average, acidic, medium to wet soils in full sun to part shade. Adaptable to both light and heavy soils, but prefers moist, acidic, organic loams. Good tolerance for poorly drained soils including wet boggy or swampy conditions. Winterberries are dioecious (separate male and female plants). Only fertilized female flowers will produce the attractive red berries that are the signature of the species. Generally one male winterberry will be sufficient for pollinating 9-10 female plants. Flowers appear on new growth. Prune to shape in early spring just before new growth appears. Winterberry is a deciduous holly that is native to eastern North America where it typically occurs in swamps, damp thickets, low woods and along ponds and streams. It is a slow-growing, deciduous shrub with an upright-rounded habit that typically grows 3-12′ tall. In the wild, it often suckers to form large thickets or colonies. Elliptic to obovate, toothed, dark green leaves (2-3″ long). Fall color is usually negligible, but in some years leaves may turn attractive shades of maroon. Relatively inconspicuous greenish-white flowers appear in the leaf axils in late spring. Flowers, if properly pollinated, give way to a crop of bright red berries (1/4″ diameter) in late summer to fall. Berries are quite showy and will persist throughout the winter (hence the common name) and often into early spring. Berries provide considerable impact and interest to the winter landscape. Zones 3 to 9.

Today’s Special is our Dwarf Meyer Lilac (Syringa meyeri ‘Palibin’). These are growing in 3 inch containers for $6.48 each. Easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soil in full sun. Tolerates light shade, but best bloom is in full sun. Prefers organically rich, moist, slightly acidic to slightly alkaline soils. Needs good air circulation. Good tolerance for urban conditions. Prompt removal of faded flower panicles before seed set will increase the bloom in the following year. Prune as needed immediately after flowering. Korean lilac is a dense, rounded-oval, non-suckering, deciduous shrub which typically grows 4-8′ tall with a spread of 6-10′. ‘Palibin’ is a compact, low-spreading cultivar which typically grows 4-5′ tall with a spread of 5-7′. Pale pink, sweetly-fragrant single flowers arranged in dense, terminal clusters (panicles to 4″ long) cover this shrub with a profuse bloom in late April to early May. Elliptic-ovate, dark green leaves (to 1.5″ long) are smaller than the species. No fall color. This shrub is sometime grafted to a 4′ standard and sold as a small tree with a dense, rounded crown. Tree form typically matures to 8′ tall. Zones 3 to 7.
