Plant Profile: Showy Mountain Ash is an excellent medium ornamental tree. A true four season stunner, this tree boats white spring flower clusters atop leaves that are an attractive dark green with a frilly texture, followed by gorgeous red fruit the persists into winter as forage for birds and we cannot forget its stunning red fall color. Great for yards, boulevards and small enough for under power lines, it makes a great addition to any landscape. Not suitable for locations with standing water, but very tolerant of urban conditions. There are a few great full grown specimens around Glasgow. Full sun. 25 ft tall by 15 ft wide. Zone 3

Plant Profile: Dark Purple Bloomerang Lilac is an excellent choice for a lower hedge or for someone who loves lilacs but doesn’t have the space. Growing 4-5 feet tall and wide this lil beauty stays in a nice mounded shape without suckering. It’s a Korean lilac so it blooms slightly after the big lilac show and what truly makes this plant awesome is it blooms twice, hence the name. Blooms on new and old wood. Full sun. Zone 3.

This gorgeous ‘tiny ink’ lily just popped open. Staying super short this lil cutie could fit in anywhere!

We’ve got lots of these shade beauties available!

I snapped this picture of our Pulmonaria this morning. So pretty!

Unfortunately I can’t remember for sure what variety this is. The label says Raspberry Splash but I think it is more likely Baby Blue or some other variety.

Pulmonaria are a fun alternative to hosta as a shade perennial. They have silvery spotted leaves that look good after the spring blossoms have finished. They seem to spread a bit, but not aggressively…they have more of a tendency of becoming a “patch” rather than remaining a well defined plant like a hosta.
