There is always some gray area when it comes to figuring the ultimate size of some Mugo Pine but you can always be sure that ‘Slowmound’ will be a dense, compact mound that is perfectly suited for foundation plant groupings and small space gardening. Even its needles are more compact with their 1.5 to 2″ twisting length that give this easy grow, trouble free plant a tight, bristling appearance that is hard to resist.

Each branch is decorated with whorls of soft, long, fragrant needles with a distinctive white strip giving the plant a silvery cast in the landscape. A stunning broad pyramid specimen. Deer resistant. Outstanding specimen that is attractive all year. Easy to grow.

There is not a Pieris you’ll find that has the flower power that this selection brings to the landscape. Its dense, rounded form comes into early spring teeming with long strings of flower buds at stem terminals that open in mid-April to clouds of white flowers that barely reveal the leathery, medium green foliage below. ‘Avalanche’ seems to bloom forever, holding its flowers as the cool of April warms into mid-May, still looking like a cascade of white. Once its bloom does go by, its new growth stays tidy and dense making this a plant that can be used singly in a small space or one that can be used in groups without overwhelming a spot. While this selection will tolerate a sunny spot, it loves partial shade to shade, is deer resistant, and will put on an unforgettable early spring show in that location.

Great color year round marries with outstanding, dense, rounded form to create the ultimate easy care small garden specimen for your landscape. ‘Globosa’ is a slow grower that adds merely 2 to 3″ of growth yearly meaning it will be perfect for brightening up small landscape spaces for years without overpowering them. Its brilliant, electric blue needle color can’t be ignored and its rounded form makes it more regular than ‘Montgomery’ which tends to form a leader and become a widely irregular pyramid as it matures. ‘Globosa’ is an easy care, sun loving plant that will give years of pleasure with little need for your input.

Slow growing with piercing blue colored needles. Branches can be trained upward to any point desired and then will cascade down to ground level and run prostrate along the ground. Easy to grow. Unique and colorful specimen. Tolerates sandy soils. Deer resistant.

If you love Blue Spruce, this is the Blue Spruce you are thinking about! It differs from the species because of its consistent steel blue color and its dense, tight slow growing form and it’s a difference that will take you breath away! You’ll be astounded by the color show it puts on and also by the much smaller footprint it holds in the landscape, a distinct advantage over the species. ‘Fat Albert’ loves full sun and, even though it is smaller and slower growing, it should avoid being planted too close to houses and electrical wiring.

Finally, a seed sourced Blue Spruce that is actually dependably blue!! That’s something worth celebrating and you will once you check out this plant’s pleasing blue needles that stiffly whorl around stiff, ascending branches to create an upright, pyramidal tree that is hard not to admire. ‘Baby Blue’ can be used as a specimen or grown together to create a stunning large hedge or windbreak. ‘Baby Blue’ will thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, just remember to give this big boy some room to grow then stand back and admire the color!

Different from other weeping evergreens that tend to ramble and spread their way through the landscape, Weeping White Spruce stands above the rest with a tall, narrow yet graceful profile that is truly a one-of-a-kind gem. With its strong, upright leader and pendulous side branches, it adds height yet softness and texture on a plant that is one of the most hardy specimen evergreens you will ever grow. Like all White Spruce, this selection needs full sun and well drained soil to thrive and will make a perfect showpiece for growing near a tall building or for growing in amongst other evergreens or mixed plantings.

Deer tolerant evergreen is appealing with its blue-green foliage. Sturdy branches make it resistant to winter strain, and are symmetrical to form a cone shape. Great as an accent or grouped to form a screen. Offers nesting for wildlife.
