Category: Rarium | Sub-Category: Shrubs and Vines

Scientific Name (Genus/Species): Euonymus carnosus

Family: (Celastraceae)

Deciduous shrub to 12′.  Fleshy-flowered Spindletree.  Taiwan.  A special Euonymus noted for its excellent ornamental qualities.  Fragrant creamy-white flowers in showy, dense corymbs of 5 to 8 flowers, dangle from long pedicels over a long bloom period from spring into summer.  Glossy, waxy-looking, elliptic to ovate, dark green leaves up to seven inches long are notable throughout summer.  In late summer, coral-red fruit capsules develop which split open to reveal fleshy, orange arils that encase the seeds.  The leaves turn deep-red to burgundy-purple colour in late autumn, followed by smooth grey bark in winter after leaf drop.  You cannot go wrong with this all-season show-stopper.  Full sun to partial shade. 3 & 6

Shrub to 7′.  Silver Leaf Hydrangea.  Eastern US.  This versatile, multi-stemmed, deciduous shrubs is very free-flowering.  The inflorescences consist of two to six-inch wide, flat corymbs of sterile flowers with creamy white, large sepals.  These showy, sterile flowers are borne around the periphery of an inner cluster of smaller, shorter, fertile flowers.  Leaves are opposite, serrated, and dark green; the undersides are densely covered with silvery, felt-like hairs that look striking when revealed by a breeze.  Long blooming.  Shade to part shade. Moist, well-drained soil.  5 & T2

Scientific Name (Genus/Species): Callicarpa dichotoma var. albifructa

Family: Lamiaceae

Hardy shrub to 6′.  China and Korea.  White Fruited Beauty Berry.  Callicarpa dichotoma is, according to Dirr, the “most graceful and refined of the species.”  It is also the most cold-hardy.  This variety has white berries instead of typical purple and may get a bit taller than the typical form.  Sun to partial shade.  PC- 4 weeks, 3 & T1

Category: Seminum | Sub-Category: Shrubs and Vines

Scientific Name (Genus/Species): Rosa acicularis

Scientific Name (Genus/Species): Euonymus americanus

Family: Celastraceae

Hardy shrub to 6′.  Hearts-a-Burstin.  North America.  A small native shrub with many inconspicuous, greenish-purple flowers in summer.  By October however, the scarlet fruit capsules have popped open to reveal the bright pinkish orange seeds inside, hence its common name.  Excellent red autumn colour.  Truly spectacular.  Sun/partial shade.  3 & 6
