1. MISS LEMON ABELIA
An outstanding abelia with bright variegated foliage that is yellow with green centers when young, maturing to ivory and green. Produces a heavy bloom of light pink flowers for a long period of summer and fall.
2. ‘ORANGE ROCKET’ BARBERRY
This award-winning barberry sports a unique color combination for an easy care shrub. New spring foliage starts out a vibrant coral, ages to mid green, then turns ruby red for fall. Useful as a vertical element in borders, landscapes, or containers.
3. EVERCOLOR® ‘EVERILLO’ CAREX
Add drama to shady spots or containers with this versatile, easy-care grass. Use as a groundcover, to edge a path, or tuck into a window box.
4. ‘SUNSHINE’ LIGUSTRUM
This fast grower is ideal as a low-growing hedge and performs well in full sun and partial shade. Its “sunny” year-round golden foliage creates an eye-catching hedge as well as an individual specimen and will attract buyers for its ability to enhance any landscape. A sterile non-blooming cultivar, it will not bloom or re-seed into the landscape, benefiting allergy sufferers.
5. PURPLE DAYDREAM™ COMPACT LOROPETALUM
New for 2016! This beauty offers year-round dark maroon foliage that is drought tolerant and isn’t a favorite of deer. It stays compact, only reaching 2 to 3 feet high, and spreads nicely into a mound.
