Acer shirasawanum ‘Autumn Moon’
This new introduction is taking the plant world by storm with its golden foliage tipped in rich red which lasts into summer, followed by vibrant fall color, the effect is stunning; an ideal accent for the bright home landscape
Compact Winged Burning Bush

A spectacular and compact garden shrub which turns a luminous florescent pink color in fall, very showy; a shapely mounded growth habit and interesting corky wings on the branches; a very popular and adaptable landscape plant
Koreanspice Viburnum
Viburnum carlesii
Among the most fragrant of all shrubs, covered in intoxicatingly sweet-smelling ball-shaped clusters of pinkish-white flowers in early spring, plant where the fragrance can be enjoyed, tidy the rest of the year; makes a beautiful accent specimen
Bobo® Hydrangea
Hydrangea paniculata ‘ILVOBO’
An attractive dwarf variety that provides an abundance of conical white flowers at the ends of the branches over an extended period; flowers start out white and soften to pink towards fall; benefits from a regular pruning regimen
