We recently asked Isa VanHeukelum
to share her top plant picks. Here’s what she had to say:

Isa VanHeukelum, Sales/Operations Team Member

Denim ‘n Lace Russian Sage 

Perovskia atriplicifolia ‘Denim ‘n Lace’

This more upright variety forms a dense mound of fragrant gray-green leaves, on strong stems; multiple spikes of lavender-blue flowers from mid-summer until fall; excellent for the garden or mixed containers


Whitespire Birch 

Betula populifolia ‘Whitespire’

A wonderful birch tree selection with snowy white bark and good fall color; higher resistance to the dreaded bronze birch borer than most other white-barked birches make this a preferred variety for home landscape use


Skylands Golden Spruce 

Picea orientalis ‘Skylands’ 

A memorable tree for home landscape use, with bright golden new growth in spring which eventually fades to lime green and a tall, pyramidal habit; ideal as a tall color accent in the greater landscape skyline


Fire Light Tidbit® Hydrangea 

Hydrangea paniculata ‘SMNHPK’

A compact, cold hardy variety producing clusters of enormous white and pink blooms in mid-summer through fall; adaptable, working well with most soils as long as they are well drained; a sensational ornamental shrub for the garden or border


Pixie Japanese Maple 

Acer palmatum ‘Pixie’

A beautiful little accent tree for the garden or smaller home landscape; leaves emerge a dazzling bright red in spring before turning much darker in summer, only to turn fiery scarlet in fall; an ideal dynamic color accent
