A. Buttonbush — Buttonbush is a great shrub for naturalizing in wet areas and attracts butterflies. It has glossy green leaves and fragrant, round flower clusters during mid-summer. Buttonbush attracts more than 24 species of birds, as well as numerous species of butterflies.

B. Snowberry — Snowberry is a native shrub commonly used en masse or in naturalized landscapes. Thin, cascading branches produce small, pink flowers that appear in spikes in early summer, followed by clusters of white berries in autumn.

C. Scarlet Curls Willow — A cultivar of the willow tree prized for its ornamental, twisted branches and vibrant red or golden-yellow bark, particularly noticeable in the winter. It is a relatively fast-growing, small to medium-sized tree, often used as a specimen tree or in floral arrangements due to its unique, curly branches. 

D. Flame Grass — A perennial ornamental grass prized for its striking fall foliage and graceful, upright habit. It is characterized by green foliage that turns vibrant shades of orange, red, and bronze in the autumn.

E. Rosy Lights Azalea — An extremely hardy selection which provides a massive display of exceptional rose-colored blooms in early spring, on a mounding form with lustrous green foliage. Excellent for use as an accent plant, or for mass plantings and shrub borders. Semi-evergreen.

  1. Hydrangea Diamond Rouge — A specific variety of Hydrangea paniculata, known for its intense, raspberry-red flower color. It is a compact, bushy shrub with large, cone-shaped flower heads that change color throughout the season. They start white, transition to pink, then to a vibrant raspberry red, and finally deepen to a wine red in the fall. 
  2. Neon Burst Dogwood — A cultivar of the Tartarian dogwood known for its vibrant yellow to chartreuse foliage in spring and summer, bright red stems in winter, and excellent fall color. It's a compact, mounded shrub that typically reaches 4-5 feet in height and width. 
  3. Helenium — Heleniums are in the aster family. They are native to North and South America, but most garden varieties are hybrids. Common names for this plant include Helen’s flower and sneezeweed (though heleniums are not allergy-inducing!). The plants grow in clumps and have an upright habit with lance-shaped leaves. Overall heights are typically 30-48” tall.
