Pink Diamond Hydrangea

Pink Diamond is a new hydrangea that was bred from the popular PeeGee line of hydrangeas, but without the problems of PeeGee. The flowers mature to a pretty pink color, hence the name, and they stay that way all the way through until frosts arrive. It barely reaches ten feet at maturity, which makes it a stunning back of the border shrub that that is attractive all the way though hot summer days. These trouble free shrubs are not bothered by droughts or late frosts, nor are they generally stricken with any bugs. Your only maintenance is just an optional light prune after the flush of flowers if you choose to reduce the size slightly.

Little Princess Spirea

Little Princess Spirea is popular for a good reason--this accent shrub is adaptable, hardy and exquisite. You can plant this colorful, dense shrub anywhere in your landscape that needs a little life. With so many traits all wrapped up in one low-maintenance beauty, it’s no wonder she’s named Little Princess. This Spirea will mature to about 2-3 feet in height with a 3 foot spread, so it can easily be tucked into a small corner of your garden for big impact. Princess Spirea typically fills out well from top to bottom, so there’s no need for filler plants in front of it.

Black Night Butterfly Bush

The butterfly bush is notable for its ease of care and high level of tolerance. Its rapid growth will give you 4-6 feet in height and 4-5 feet in width in a short time. This deep violet blossoming shrub performs well as a deciduous hedge. It tends to be less neat and tidy than other shrubs, but its blooms will bring delight from midsummer to fall. Flowers appear on new growth, so the shrub can be pruned to the ground in the spring. The plant quickly rebounds by blooming time. Little maintenance and full sun...at least 6 hours a day...will foster more flowers. This plant will give you much pleasure from just a few deep waterings in the summer.
