Calicarpa Americana or American Beautyberry is a well known native that thrives in our area. These beautiful berries show up in late summer and go through fall providing a great food source for wildlife. Clusters of small white flowers show in late spring to summer and attract pollinators. Also, when crushed, the leaves have been known to repel mosquitoes and other biting insects.

Beautyberry likes sun to partial shade but doesn’t tolerate full shade. These deciduous shrubs grow 3-8 feet tall and 3-6 feet wide. Prune in late winter to 1 foot as the flowers and berries are both produced on new growth.

Plant in naturalized areas, landscaped yards, butterfly gardens, or in a container on your patio or deck.

There are times we need smellavision! Osmanthus Fragrans “Fudingzhu” and Osmanthus Fragrans “Apricot Echo” are two beautiful Tea Olives with a scent that will carry through your yard.

Both like sun to part sun and are evergreens that get 6-15 feet tall and 4-8 feet wide. They can be trimmed after flowering however to maintain a smaller size and shape. These are very easy to grow and maintain and are a great addition to any yard.

Look at this new variety of panicle hydrangea called “Bubble Bath”! It is covered in huge blooms and this is one of the things it was made to do. These petite shrubs, at just 2-3 feet tall and wide, are profuse bloomers and bloom from summer to fall. These creamy blooms will turn pink by the end of bloom time. Plant in part sun to sun but do plant where they will have a break from the hottest afternoon sun in our area. The stems of these are also very sturdy so they can keep the blooms upright throughout the season. These would work great in mass plantings or as part of a low hedge or border. They are small enough to fit in any landscape. Come grab yours while they last. October is the best month of the year to plant shrubs and perennials!

This beauty is Slim ‘N Trim Camellia Sasanqua. This fall to winter bloomer has abundant rose pink flowers and grows only 6-8 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide making it easy to fit in any yard. Plant in morning sun or filtered all day sun but keep it out of the afternoon sun. Don’t over water once it is established and make sure it’s in a well drained area. When so much of the summer garden is fading, Slim ‘N Trim will add a much needed bright spot to those fall and early winter days. Come get yours soon so you can enjoy it now.

Hot Lips Salvia is a pollinator magnet that will bloom from spring to frost! The white flowers have “red lips” and a tubular shape that butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds love. In hotter weather you may see more red and in cooler weather more white. It is a semi evergreen small, rounded shrub that is easy care. The leaves are also aromatic when brushed or pinched. Hot Lips loves full sun, is very heat tolerant, and can get to 2-3 feet tall and wide. You can give it a light trim to encourage a fresh flush in mid summer and cut back more for winter or leave the semi evergreen shrub as is. Mulch in winter will help protect it from the cold. Once established, it is drought tolerant. There’s a great place in every yard for Hot Lips!
