A triumphant, pageant of color through the seasons. The new leaves, emerging intense wine-red, mature to a beguiling dusky reddish-blue. With summer comes an explosion of large panicles covered in deep pink florets. Autumn follows with its show of bright orange-red foliage. This gem was hybridized by Peter Drummer at Hiller Nurseries in Winchester, United Kingdom. ItÆs a cross between our native species C. obovatus and C. æVelvet CloakÆ. Place in partial to full shade and allow to mature to a large shrub.
The late J.C. Raulston had the inspiration of crossing the Asian Calycanthus sinensis with the native Calycanthus floridus. The result? A superlative plant with fast-growing, 8-inch tall branches covered with large, glossy, green leaves and hundreds of 2-inch, liver-red flowers. In bloom mid-April to May, this is one plant that we absolutely must have.
A relatively new form of this hardy and tolerant, dwarf, evergreen shrub from W. China. The leaves differ from the norm by being narrow with a long pointed tip, but the flowers are typically small, white, deliciously fragrant and borne en masses in the depths of winter. Very easy to please, in sun or shade, acid or alkaline soil.
Shasta' displays a profusion of extra large, pure white flowers that are larger than those found on other cultivars. The growth habit is strongly horizontal, twice as wide as high, making 'Shasta' a choice without equal as an architectural specimen. Bright red fruits are a brief ornamental attraction in late June followed by gorgeous maroon-purple autumn color.
A selected form of this species, superficially similar to both V. opulus and V. trilobum. Yet this cultivar is decidedly different, with foliage that emerges in spring with a handsome dark purplish blush, creating a wonderful backdrop to very pretty clusters of white flowers surrounded by fertile bracts. Autumn coloration a deep maroon. An excellent choice as an upright and sturdy element in the mixed border, to 8 ft. tall by 4 ft. wide, in full sun and any soil.
This hydrangea makes a big impression despite its compact size. A good choice for smaller gardens, the tidy plant offers up armfuls of ball-shaped, pink-toned blooms against dark green, glossy leaves. Hardy, reliable, easy to grow, you can tuck this one into the smallest garden.
