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


Fine Line® Fern Leaf Buckthorn

Rhamnus frangula ‘Ron Williams’

A rather attractive columnar garden shrub with finely cut foliage for an overall fine, wispy appearance, excellent for textural effect in a garden composition; very hardy, tough and adaptable; non-invasive as the seeds of this cultivar are not viable


Lavender Twist® Redbud

Cercis canadensis ‘Covey’

A stunning accent shrub with gracefully arching and weeping branches, a twisted trunk and very showy pink to purple flowers held tightly on bare branches in early spring, curious heart-shaped leaves; an incredible garden accent, especially when in bloom


Lemony Lace® Elder

Sambucus racemosa ‘SMNSRD4’

A refined yet durable garden shrub featuring beautiful, threadlike golden foliage all season; creamy white flowers in spring followed by bright red berries; compact and upright habit, a reliable color accent for the garden


Black Pearl Coral Bells

Heuchera ‘Black Pearl’

Dainty spikes of white bells with pink calyxes rise from a mound of jet black glossy foliage with ruffled edges and rosy purple undersides ; amazing contrast to other plants, great versatility; keep soil moist in the heat of summer


Opening Act Blush Phlox

Phlox ‘Opening Act Blush’

An early blooming phlox with a naturally dwarf habit; lavender-pink blushed flowers with deeper pink eyes; blooms profusely in early to mid-summer; great for borders or in containers; dark green glossy foliage is mildew and disease resistant
