New Trees and Shrubs

	Abelia Sweet Emotion It took years to develop this improved, most fragrant version of the unique Abelia mosanensis, but it was worth the wait. Being the hardiest abelia yet, it offers superior production, more colorful flowers, and an improved elegant habit. Jasmine-scented white and pink blooms adorn the arching branches in mid-late spring - you simply must smell them to believe their fragrance. Glossy green foliage turns an attractive orange-red in autumn, and attractive seed heads add additional interest.
	Barberry Sunjoy Mini Saffron This dwarf is a burn-resistant gem that shines out in the landscape, even in the heat of summer. It has bright yellow foliage that shows hints of orange in the new growth and turns orange-red in fall. The neat bun-like habit needs no trimming or fussing.
	Barberry Sunjoy Mini Salsa An improved version of the popular 'Crimson Pygmy' with vivid, dark red foliage that looks colorful from spring to fall. It does not revert, is faster growing and consistently compact. No worries about this plant suddenly becoming too large. Use it for mass plantings, or edging beds and borders.
	Carolina Allspice Simply Scentsational The nicest and most intriguing scent you'll find in any garden! Debate amongst your friends and relatives whether it's melon, banana, strawberry, pineapple, or even Juicy Fruit gum that your nose is picking up. And while you're at it, you can admire its gorgeous velvety magnolia-like flowers. Selected and refined over an 18 year period, the large blooms of this North American native are a deep burgundy and appear in abundance through late spring and summer. They are powerfully fragrant even when they are wilted.
	Dwarf Blue Spruce Picea Sester Stunning blue needles, slow growth rate, and classic conical form makes this dwarf form of Colorado Blue Spruce an ideal plant for smaller gardens. It grows at only about one-fourth the rate of its large parent and is virtually maintenance free to keep its tidy shape.
	Eastern White Pine Angel Falls Named for the world's tallest waterfall, this striking selection of Eastern white pine has very long, very narrow, light green needles and a strong weeping habit. Its closely held branches develop graceful draping forms that combine a tall, narrow stature with a broad, flowing skirt. It is purported to be slower growing with denser branching than similar cultivars. If staked and trained it can be grown into an outstanding 10-20 feet tall upright specimen. Terminal shoots will advance at a yearly rate of 8 to 15 inches.
	Engelmann Spruce Bushs Lace A vigorous tree with a strong central leader, irregular branching, and a soft texture. The branches extend out before drooping downward. Beiing native to the higher elevations of the Rocky and Cascade Mountains, this conifer is adapted to dealing with extreme winds and cold.
	Ginkgo Mariken On 24 Inch Standard This compact, bushy Ginkgo was discovered in 1995 as a witch's broom growing in a Ginkgo tree in the Netherlands. It has proven an excellent find, descended with the unique history of the species, with the same fan-shaped green leaves that flutter in the wind and turn bright yellow in fall. But 'Mariken' stays very small, its thick, spreading branches loaded with a dense arrangement of foliage. The slow-growing, deciduous conifer makes a high-interest architectural feature, a flat, rounded, form, for either small garden or container.
	Grape Edelweiss A disease resistant table grape from the University of Minnesota. Vigorous. Green-white with high sugar content, good 'grapy' taste.

Clusters of moderately compact golden fruit ripen by mid to late September. The wine can be described as clean and pleasant with a long finish, featuring pear, quince, violet, and melon aromas with subtle floral, honey, and mineral notes.
	Hemlock Canadensis Moon Frost This outstanding evergreen provides a brightly coloured, focal point in shady areas. White new growth with older, inner foliage combine for a distinctly white appearance that is unusual and eye-catching, looking like frost on a moonlit night.

Big, lush panicles of mophead flowers appear in early-mid summer, nearly obscuring the textured green foliage. They emerge a bright lime green, transition to white, and quickly take on hues of dragon fruit pink. Thick, sturdy stems help to create a neat, mounded plant that's fantastic in landscapes, flower gardens and containers. As a bonus, it will often give you a nice display of orange-red autumn foliage.
	Hydrangea Limelight Prime An improved, more refined Limelight, blooming much earlier, creating a longer display with darker, healthier-looking foliage, stronger stems, and a more compact growth habit. The blooms emerge a vivid lime green and maintain that color longer. Then they develop pink and red tones that are far more vivid and showy. It is one of the easiest to grow, most rewarding hydrangeas you can plant, and you can count on it to produce dozens of big, beautiful, mophead blooms every year.
	Hydrangea Quick Fire Fab The large, upright, football-shaped blooms of this show-stopping, early bloomer are densely packed with delicate, cruciform flowers of a pleasing coconut-lime color.

	Juniper Blue Carpet 'Blue' points to the summer color of the sharp, overlapping, densely arranged needles. 'Carpet' acknowledges the plant's low, spreading form and its adaptable nature.

	Juniper Blue Star This very popular cypress has sharp, silvery-blue needles densely arranged in clusters atop tiny stems, thereby resembling many-point stars. The slowly spreading form develops a little broader than tall.
	Katsura Tree Claim Jumper This tree is known for its beautiful shape and its attractive foliage. Heart-shaped leaves emerge yellow with a prominent pink blush.

	Norway Spruce Rubra Spicata A beautiful tree with upswept branches, and stunning deep red new growth for about two weeks in spring,. Gradually, the foliage changes to reddish-brown and then to green. Although it grows less quickly than the species, it eventually becomes a large tree with an open habit.
	Norway Spruce The Limey Fresh, new foliage emerges each spring from the buds with a bright lemon-lime color. Short needles adorn open branching that will fill in with maturity. As the season progresses, the exposed topsides of the needles remain a pleasant yellow while the undersides and shaded interior foliage turn lime green creating a striking contrast.
	Pear Parker An upright, vigorous grower with large, yellow-bronze colored, fine grained, tender, and juicy fruit.

As with all Proven Winners roses, Ringo All-Star is disease resistant and low maintenance. No need to trim or deadhead to keep those fab flowers coming all season!
	Sand Cherry Jade Parade A plant that may give a fresh perspective on mass planting groundcovers - being an alternative to Gro-Low sumac. The foliage is an attractive glossy blueish-green, turning shades of yellow, orange, and red in the fall. It has a spreading habit, but rather than just creeping along the ground, the branches arch upwards. In spring, small half inch white blooms flower profusely along the stems and are followed by small black cherries in late summer. Very tolerant of full sun and dry conditions once established.

	Wisteria Summer Cascade A beautiful flowering vine which easily covers an arbor or pergola. Blooming in June, individual flowers are borne on long showy racemes and open as a lovely shade of dark lavender and produce an interesting seed pod in late summer.
