Ninebark - Center Glow

The Ninebark Center Glow, 'Physocarpus opulifolius 'Center Glow’, is a new and exciting variety. Similar to 'Diablo', the foliage emerges a yellow-green but matures into bright, deep red that last all season long. With a plant height of 8-10' and a width of 8', the white flowers that bloom in spring add excitement to this shrub. Best to be planted in full sun, 'Center Glow' needs a well drained site. Developed by Dr. Harold Pellet and the University of Minnesota. Use this plant in the landscape as a border or background for perennial or annual flower beds or in foundation plantings of larger buildings. The Center Glow is a fast grower and new shoots can be cut and used in floral arrangements. ... more info

 

Pussy Willow - Silver The Silver Pussy Willow, Salix chaenomeloides, is a handsome shrub with large red flower buds that develop into silky pink catkins. Reddish brown leaves mature to a dark blue green. This easy-to-grow willow has 2-1/2- to 3-inch-long catkins that emerge in early spring from dark red buds. At first silvery gray, the catkins take on a pink cast as they age. Equally significant are the rich mahogany-red stems, which add interest to the garden in winter. The plant prefers a sunny location and moist, well-drained soil.
