Buxus koreanaXsempervirens, 'Green Mountain', Z 4,5,6,7,8, DR, hedge topiary

Mature height - 5'x3', Growth - Slow, Light - S-Psh, Soil - Med., Origin - Hybrid

A happy marriage of 'sempervirens' cute leaves and the good green winter color of 'koreana'. The 'mountain' is quite a steep column, a nice accent, pot plant or lined up like soldiers to form a hedge.

Cornerstone.

Buxus koreana X sempervirens, 'Green Velvet', Z 4,5,6,7,8, DR, hedge topiary

Mature height - 3'x3', Growth - Slow, Light - S-Psh, Soil - Med., Origin - Hybrid

'Green Velvet' is more rounded than its sibling of the same parentage, but with the same desirable attributes as  listed  above.

Leucothoe recommend themselves to us as a deer resistant evergreen, with dramatic changes in foliage color. They test a lot of gardeners. If planted in the wrong place they are prone to leaf diesease. We have had luck with them in shade and hummus rich, moisture retentive well drained soil. Anything other and they won't be happy.

Leucothoe fontanesiana, 'Nana', Z 5,6,7, DR, foliage

Mature height - 2'x2', Growth - Med., Light - Psh-Sh, Soil - Med., Origin - Eastern US

Nice edge plant in hummus rich shady border. White flowers in July. Leaves turn a rich burgundy/purple fall color as good as 'Rogers Burgundy' below.

Leucothoe fontanesiana, 'Rogers Burgundy', Z 5,6,7, DR, foliage

Mature height - 4'x4', Growth - Med., Light - Psh-Sh, Soil - Med., Origin - Eastern US

It selling point is as its name suggests its rich burgundy winter color.

'Rogers Burgundy'.

Myrica pensylvanica, NORTHERN BAYBERRY, Zones 3,4, 5,6 DR,foliage 

Mature height - 4'x3', Growth - Slow, Light - Psh-Sh, Soil - Med., Origin - North Eastern US

A plant that is adaptable to light sandy as well as heavy clay soils. Will sucker and form colonies. Great native evergreen plant. Its other common name is 'Candleberry' as its wax was used to make candles. 

Pieris japonica, JAPANESE PIERIS, 'Mountain Fire', 5,6,7, (7) DR,foliage 

Mature height - 7'x5', Growth - Medium, Light - Sun-Psh, Soil - Medium, Origin - Japan

New flush of growth in Spring burns as bright as any 'burning bush' (in the fall), and certainly helps to dispel the winter blues. White flowers in April.

Rhododendron, RHODO, 'Boule de Niege', 5,6,7,8,

Mature height - 5'x8', Growth - Slow, Light - Psh-Sh, Soil - Med., Origin - Hybrid.

One of the most desirable white rhododendrons.

Rhododendron 'PJM', 'Elite', Z 4,5,6,7,

Mature height - 4'x4', Growth - Slow, Light - S-Psh-Sh, Soil - Med., Origin - Hybrid

Fast growing hardy 'PJM' Rhododendron. Flowers pink, and leaves will turn purple in fall.
