(02/29/08) One of the smallest Hinoki Falsecypresses is also one of the most beautiful -- each light green leaf is edged in bright gold on this super slow-growing variety! Scarcely a foot high and wide after 10 years' growth, it makes great bonsai, container plantings, and rockery accents.See less

(02/29/08) This dwarf variety is darker green and more dense. Simply the best dwarf Norway Spruce in habit, color, and vigor, 'Pumila' tackles the problems of winter burn and summer heat beautifully. No matter where you live within this plant's hardiness range, you can grow this naturally symmetrical, rounded evergreen with very little care and great success! Th foliage is darker green and far more dense on 'Pumila' than on earlier cultivars, emerging from the central trunk for a very bushy, full-centered look. A slow grower, this Conifer keeps its rounded habit as it matures, so that even a young plant is attractive year-round. Ideal as an accent planting in containers or the garden, a foundation mainstay, border standout, or specimen, 'Pumila' will quickly become the Norway Spruce of choice for discerning gardeners. Zones 3-7.See less

(02/29/08) Now you can find a space for Hydrangea in even the smallest garden! Plant Patent #10,928. Cultivar name: 'Venice Raven.' The natural dwarf habit of this lovely Bigleaf Hydrangea from Germany is compact and dense, with far more flowering stems than most others. Small enough for containers or any tight spot, Cityline Venice is an attention-getter with giant fuchsia blooms and fresh, attractive green foliage. It belongs front and center in the shrub border, patio garden, or your best container! Just 1 to 3 feet high and wide, this shrub offers large, neatly serrated leaves of fresh spring green that keep their clean look from spring till frost. They form an excellent foil for the very large blooms to follow. These flowers open pale pink, then darken to a rich, hard-to-find shade of bright. Very showy for cutflowers, and simply covering the plant if left in place. Cityline Venice appreciates protection from harsh afternoon sun, and if you plant it beneath deciduous trees, check the first...See less

(02/29/08) Sets its buds lower on the stems, for a fuller display of blooms in less space. Extend Aconitum season in your garden -- and bring these hooded blooms onto your patio, porch, and other partly shaded spots! -- with this extremely heavy-blooming, compact new variety. 'Blue Lagoon' flowers profusely in midsummer, then continues for the rest of the season, adding several weeks of hard-to-find blue to your garden display. Bred for container growth, it sets its buds much lower on the stems than older varieties, giving you more flowers and less foliage in a compact space. Also known as Monkshood (for the shape of its blooms) and Wolfsbane (for its poisonous quality), Aconitum is one of the best sources of pure blue for the shade garden. It normally reaches 3 feet high, but 'Blue Lagoon' tops out at a mere 10 to 12 inches and is not quite as wide. You can add it to mixed containers or fill solitary flowerpots with the bright green foliage and very, very abundant blooms of this vigorous, pest-...See less

(02/29/08) The densest and most floriferous Caryopteris yet! Plant Patent #11,958. A spectacular deep blue Caryopteris! More compact and better-branched than other varieties, 'First Choice' blooms from midsummer through early fall, with aromatic, silvery-green foliage to spare! This flowering shrub offers one of the most striking shades of blue -- a rich cobalt seldom found in nature -- to the garden. Opening from inky-blue buds, these blooms form 6-inch spikes that point up and out from the dense, well-branched plant. Even before the blooms arise, 'First Choice' is valuable for its aromatic silvery-green foliage, which creates an airy, cool look in the sunny to lightly-shaded garden. Just 2 feet tall and 2 to 2 1/2 feet wide, 'First Choice' is small enough for a container, and makes a lovely low hedge or stately edging. In the bed or border, it is a fine companion to tricolor Spiraea 'Shibori,' which blooms at the same time. Or use it to follow the Rhododendrons, such as 'Pohjola's Daughter'. If...See less

(02/29/08) Soft blue-green coloring with hints of gold at the base. Such a delight, 'Blue Mouse Ears' sets exquisite soft blue-green leaves, gently curled, just 2 3/4 inches long and 2 inches wide. A tightly mounded, dense plant, it reaches only 6 inches high and a foot wide, but draws the eye with its cool tones and soft texture. This Hosta is a sport of H. 'Blue Cadet,' a miniature that makes up for in vigor what in lacks in size. New foliage unfurls from the center of the plant all season, and the older leaves keep their blue tones well in summer heat. At the base of each leaf, you may glimpse a hint of bright gold! Lavender blooms dangle above the foliage on short stems in summer, but are insignificant. Use 'Blue Mouse Ears' in containers of all sorts, as edging, in the front of the shade border, and as an accent among green- and yellow-leafed plants. It tolerates partial to full shade, and does not like direct sun. Zones 3-8.See less

(02/29/08) A compact Perovskia, it won't flop in the summer heat! Plant Patent #11,643.Tall, airy bloomspikes and richly aromatic gray foliage combine to make Little Spire one of the most appealing perennials for the patio, perennial border, or accent planting! Very drought-tolerant and refusing to flop in the summer heat (as taller varieties sometimes do), this is a well-mannered little plant that adds valuable soft color to any display! The long, slender stems filled with lavender flowers arise over many weeks (3 to 4 months isn't unheard of!), creating a vertical swathe of color that combines well with the reds, oranges, and yellows of summer perennials. Be sure to plant Little Spire where you will brush past it while going through the garden -- the scent of the leaves is released by touch! Just 24 inches tall and 20 to 24 inches wide, Little Spire's unusual foliage color and cool lavender-blue blooms add a soothing note to the sunny midsummer garden. It is superb in hot, humid areas if given...See less

(02/29/08) Blooms continuously (rather than in waves) and never needs deadheading. The first in the exciting new Lo & Behold series of miniature Buddleias introduced by the Raulston Arboretum, this mounding, well-branched plant reaches less than 2 feet high and wide, yet flowers continuously (rather than in waves) and never needs deadheading. It offers an entirely new form for the beloved Butterfly Bush, and is compact enough for ground cover or container use. 'Blue Chip' reaches just 20 inches high and wide, yet flowers profusely beginning in early summer (somewhat earlier than many) and continuing without cease into autumn. Unlike most older varieties, 'Blue Chip' sets no seed, so it concentrates all its energy into flowering, and offers no volunteer sprouts or messy debris to collect at season's end. It doesn't even need deadheading! Like all Butterfly Bushes, 'Blue Chip' thrives in full sunshine -- the more the merrier! -- and any well-drained soil. Water and feed it well the first year to...See less
