Round about autumn, this beauty, known as æRed WindÆ in Japan, rivals our favorite H. æAureolaÆ for above-and-beyond allure. Fall is when the ribbony strap leaves turn a striking red, boldly juxtaposing with combining with the remaining chartreuse green leaves. It deftly punctuates a shady border or sleekly masses alongside a pond, reflecting the autumn tint of the trees overhead.
The name says it all - a mushroom-shaped squat dome of evenly-spaced needles on delicate branches providing an airy effect. Requires little or no pruning to maintain this form. Easily grown in sun or partial shade provided the soil is relatively moist but well-drained and where protected from dessicating winter winds in coldest reaches of zone 6.
In midsummer, large, lacy heads of hydrangea-like flowers form along this cultivarÆs self-adhering stems, offering a moonlit display. With lovely pewter mottling on each heart-shaped leaf, this rarity is perfect for illuminating shadowy, difficult sites. Easily covers walls on the north side of the home or trunks of large trees.
We selected this particular Boxwood at the Morris Arboretum, attracted by its incredibly dense growth, tight mounds of evergreen, and bronze-tinted foliage. A choice plant for bordering a formal pathway or the beds of a potager (see picture). In full sun, just make sure the soil does not get bone-dry, lest the foliage takes on a dullish hue. A formal low hedge requiring delightfully little maintenance.
The wet, rocky cliffs in the mountains of the Tokaido district of JapanÆs southeast Honshu are the original habitat of the Hakone grasses. These soft, mounding plants bring a unique textural interplay to the shaded garden. æAll GoldÆsÆ solid gold blades are especially spiky and upright spiky, reminding us of a bamboo. This slow but steady grower adds ôblingö and finesse to a shady site.
Add a larger than life exotic punch to your temperate garden. With leaves expanding to 8 feet in length on a plant that grows 15-20 feet in a single season, this will not go unnoticed. Even if cut to the ground during cold winters, this hardiest of banana species will return undeterred, reaching up to 20 feet high. In late summer, in warm climates, blossoms and small bananas will form on mature plants. Few plants offer such extravagant drama. In cold climates, protect it as you do cannas.
