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


Lindsey’s Skyward Bald Cypress

Taxodium distichum ‘Skyward’

A genuinely attractive tree for many reasons; its columnar, upswept habit, thread-like foliage held in dense clumps along the ascending branches, turning rusty orange-brown in fall, curious knobby knees when planted near water; a stunning accent tree


Celestial Shadow Flowering Dogwood

Cornus ‘Celestial Shadow’

A fabulous hybrid adorned with striking white blooms, over green and yellow variegated foliage that turns brilliant red in fall ; vigorous grower with an erect habit and slightly pendulous branches makes it a great choice for a front yard accent tree


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


Autumn Gold Ginkgo

Ginkgo biloba ‘Autumn Gold’

A true 150 million year old relic with unique fan-shaped leaves; stunning pyramidal form and consistent golden fall color, does not produce fruit; a distinct improvement on the species, a great choice for home landscape use
