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


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


Karen Azalea

Rhododendron ‘Karen’

An extraordinary and stunning variety presenting multiple clusters of bright lavender-pink blooms on a hardy and dense compact shrub; a beautiful presentation as a garden focal point


Cherokee Chief Flowering Dogwood

Cornus florida ‘Cherokee Chief’

A highly desirable ornamental tree which is absolutely blanketed in rosy red flowers that fade to white in the centers in spring, attractive tiered habit as well; a picturesque tree that requires rich, well-drained acidic soil and adequate moisture


Picola Umbrella Pine

Sciadopitys verticillata ‘Picola’

A dwarf, slow growing evergreen with a distinctive conical shape and short, thin, dark green needles that are glossy; short branches help it maintain an attractive, dense appearance; a fine choice as an accent in the garden


Rhode Island Red Japanese Maple

Acer palmatum ‘Rhode Island Red’

A stunning landscape choice, this fine accent tree features dense compact branching and bright red spring foliage that darkens to deep red through summer; outstanding orange-red in fall; a highly desirable specimen for the garden or landscape
