Dogwood (Yellow Twig)

Dogwood (Yellow Twig)

Cornus Sericea "Flaviramea"

Yellow Twig Dogwood, or Cornus Sericea “Flaviramea,” is a shrub Dogwood with rich summer foliage and excellent fall color. If cut to the ground every spring, the one-year-old stems maintain an eye-catching yellow-green in the wintertime. The showy white panicles of the late-spring flowers turn into an even showier summer fruit. The flowers attract butterflies, and the berry drupe fruit attracts birds. Yellow Twig Dogwood has a stout constitution and will grow in very inhospitable conditions. The habit is loose and rounded with horizontal branches at the base of the trunk.


If unpruned, Yellow Twig Dogwood will grow 6 feet or 8 feet high and wide. An alternative is to maintain it as a small shrub of about 4 feet by coppice pruning. Coppice pruning involves cutting a woody plant to ground level every one to two years. While this eliminates the flower and fruit attributes, the stems will provide a fantastic show in the drab winter landscape, as noted above. The new growth will also appear more rapidly in the spring, giving you a plant with four-season appeal.

Fothergilla (Dwarf)

Fothergilla (Dwarf)

Fothergilla Gardennii

With Fothergilla, you get bottle-brush flowers in the spring and lush, disease-resistant summer foliage. The fall color is spectacular! The mature size is 4 to 5 high and wide. It tolerates a wide range of growing conditions but does best in moist soils and partially shaded environments.


Fothergilla is a versatile shrub and can be placed almost anywhere, although it is usually best planted in groupings. It is especially pleasing as an understory plant in a woodland garden. Too much shade, however, should be avoided, or Fothergilla will become leggy and open.

Pine (Bristlecone)

Pine (Bristlecone)

Pinus Aristata

Bristlecone Pine, or Pinus Aristata, is a native of the western United States. Extremely slow-growing, this dwarf, shrubby tree makes an excellent choice either for rock gardens or as a foundation plant. It grows 8 to 20 feet tall. Bristlecone Pine is a reliable, trouble-free specimen plant. The long, blue-green needles grow in bunches of five and tend to be very resinous.


Bristlecone Pines are one of the oldest trees on the planet with specimens ranging from 4,000 to 5,000 years old. They can thrive in very dry, rocky, and inhospitable conditions and tolerate a wide range of soil pH levels.

Sweetshrub plant

Sweetshrub

Calycanthus Floridus

Sweetshrub is unassuming, comfortable, and attractive. Somehow Sweetshrub, or Calycanthus Floridus, fits anywhere. Put it next to the stone wall, along the border to the patio, or as a foundation plant. In the scurry to place gaudy sensations in the landscape, homeowners and landscapers have overlooked the Sweetshrub's calm, solid performance. In the past, the leaves and flowers of this plant were used to provide a freshener for the insides of clothes drawers and women's purses. The foliage also makes a fine addition to potpourri. The cultivar “Michael Lindsey” has glossier foliage and more fragrant flowers. The fall color is a beautiful yellow. Sweetshrub tolerates occasionally wet soil yet withstands drought moderately well. It can supposedly grow to 8 to 10 feet, but in our garden, Sweetshrub only reached 3 or 4 feet high with a spread of 6 to 8 feet. A native of the southeastern seaboard from Virginia to Florida, Sweetshrub is also commonly known as Carolina Allspice, in reference, of course, to its fragrant scent.
