Lilac, $7.97 each, also known as Old fashioned French lilac, the kind your grandmother used to have. We have two varieties, the large French lilac and the compact Korean lilac 'Miss Kim'. Just outstanding. Plant them in sun too.

You said hydrangeas, choose from Chantilly Lace, Pee Gee Grandiflora, Phantom, and Limelight, all Sun Hydrangea paniculata. The Chantilly Lace especially are well branched and beautiful. Still $7.97 until they sell out again.

You said trees, Yes, we have trees! Choose from small understory trees like White flowering dogwood (Cornus florida) prefers some shade, like Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis). Ozark witch hazel flowers early in spring also.

Murray Cypress screening trees grow 3'+ in a year. Folks plant them 5" apart for privacy. Imagine the calm of blocking out the neighbor you don't want to see anymore with beautiful fast growing trees.

Bald Cypress trees (Taxodium distichum) grows just as tall and so tough you'll see them planted in the parking lots and in low areas in the parks.

I got 4 types of sedge available right now: New Zealand orange sedge Carex testacea, New Zealand hair sedge Carex comans 'Amazon Mist', and Carex 'Ice Dance' variegated Japanese sedge. Heat tolerant with some shade.

I haven't hardly got to the perennials yet. Spring sales get real busy so please do you and me both a favor and print this and circle what you want with a red or a blue pen. I might be dating myself. Does anyone still use a printer?

There are so many different plants here, I can't list them all but let me try some more.

Nice sized shrubs

Fothergilla x Mt Airy Witch Alder only 1'-3' feet! Fall color, early spring bottle brush flowers.

Ozark Witch Hazel, mine is right next to that Autumn Rose iris in bloom. Here's what the flowers look like.

Not a shrub but pops up tall for a screen after harvest:
Asparagus officinalis 'Jersey Giant'

Snowball viburnum, a real old fashioned snowball bush, a shrub as long as you want to shape it, then limb it up and let it be a small tree.

Honeybells Buttonbush, another one that starts out as a shrub and grows into a tree, this "straight native species" is covered in clusters of round flowers (buttonballs!) and will shortly be covered in bees as it has the most flowers per square inch. Grows to 3' - 6' as a mounding shrub, but once it's that big you'll probably want to trim it into a 6' - 10' small tree with few trunks .

Ozark witch hazel

All perennials $7.97 each.

Okay we do actually have a handful of larger plants, lavender polyantha roses, these are easy flowering "antique roses" that are only about a foot and a half high and wide and are easy to place just about anywhere. I would prefer to plant them but I haven't yet so they are $19 each. Also "Butterscotch Baby (TM)" Spirea japonica lovely caramel colored year round interest shrubs that I'd like to plant or you can have for $19.

Vase shaped Rose of Sharon is good for flowers in August in full blistering sun. I have at least three Rose of Sharon sterile double cultivars around here. Lucy, Morning Star, and I don’t remember the other one. Know why? Because I just forget things. They are really nice for sun or even part shade and bloom for months.

Willows -- Dappled, twisted, corkscrew, weeping, and Irette basket willow. See the way the sway in the wind, use the branches for basketry (weeping, Irette are best for this but any will work)

Pussy willow, Scarlet Curls sold out for now.

A lot of the plants we grow here are either great for nectar or pollen, or are great for cut flowers. Above are peony and hydrangea. Below, do you know these flowers? (answers below)
