We recently asked Brian Keuning to share his top plant picks. Here’s what he had to say:

Brian Keuning, Operations Manager

Shadblow Serviceberry 

Amelanchier canadensis 

A naturally beautiful small tree, ideal for small home landscapes; masses of showy white flowers in spring, edible berries in June, and amazing fall color add up to a versatile landscape plant 


Exclamation! London Planetree

Platanus x acerifolia ‘Morton Circle’ 

Selected for its uniform, upright pyramidal habit and attractive foliage; densely branched with a moderate growth rate; beautiful white and brown mottled bark; best in larger landscapes; very resistant to frost cracking and disease 


Baldsmith Japanese Maple  

Acer palmatum ‘Baldsmith’ 

A superb small home landscape tree with beautiful soft green leaves that last through the season turning brilliant orange in fall, artistic spreading habit of growth; a fine choice for small home landscapes and shrub gardens 


Dolce® Cherry Truffles Coral Bells

Heuchera ‘Cherry Truffles’ 

Compact mounds of beautiful, bright red, heavily ruffled leaves that mature to burgundy-red in summer; light pink flowers; amazing contrast to other plants; great versatility; keep soil moist in heat of summer 


Sugar Shack® Button Bush

Cephalanthus occidentalis ‘SMCOSS’ 

An interesting native shrub with most unusual flowers, hundreds of tiny tubular flowers packed into a ball; a great conversation piece when in bloom; fruit persists into winter and add interest; an excellent choice for very wet sites
