Spirea - Billiard

Billiard Spirea, spiraea x billiardi, has an unusual flower form, with stamens twice as long as the petals. The rose colored blossoms occur in narrow, dense plumes from June to August. It has a tendency to sucker that would make it useful for embankments. It grows 6 feet tall and 4 feet in width. It is among the easiest flowering shrubs to grow since it is tolerant of many soils, except extremely wet. The plant also likes mulch and summer watering and prefers full sun to partial shade. Billiard would be great for mass or groupings, screens or border shrubs. ... find out more

 

Willow - Japanese The Japanese Willow, 'Salix Integra Flamingo', produces beautiful pink foliage all season long. The Japanese Willow has 4 season interest. In the spring, before it leafs out, it produces hundreds of slender catkins that contrast brilliantly against the deep red stems. Then you see the pink summer foliage and in the fall and winter the striking red stems. You may prune the plant back for another flush of pink foliage later in the season. Great as a container plant.
