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
