Physocarpus
opulifolius 'Dart's Gold' is a showy form of native Ninebark.
The habit is different from other Ninebarks I’ve grown - more
pendulous and wide spreading as opposed to upright. The three-lobed
leaves start out bright golden yellow in spring and transition to
chartreuse by summer. In spring the white flower clusters, slightly
blushed pink, are very attractive and the red fall berries are
decorative. Older stems have a paperbark look. |

Physocarpus COPPERTINA
is an exciting new introduction from Proven Winners. They say: "A new
hybrid between Dart's Gold and Diabolo that flushes an attractive
copper in spring and transforms to a rich red in summer.
Coppery-orange foliage is a whole new look for this native shrub. As
summer progresses the copper foliage transforms to a rich red hue.
Dottted with pinkish-white flowers in summer. Bears red fruit in fall.
Bark on older plants exfoliates into papery strips." This one looks
like a real winner to me. |

There are many gold flowered
shrub Potentillas available. I like Potentilla 'Goldfinger',
a cultivar selected in Holland for its relatively large flowers and
long bloom season. |

Punica
granatum 'Nochi Shibari' -
We originally obtained this unique
variety from the old Heronswood Nursery, when it was in Washington.
This cultivar will eventually grow into a large shrub, up to 10' tall,
with attractive glossy green foliage. The summer flowers do an
impressive fancy carnation imitation, salmon-pink and white. I've
conservatively listed this as Zone8 hardiness, but I know gardens in
Zone7 where it thrives, and I've seen large specimens of the straight
species in Zone6. It can also be pruned to be maintained as a
container plant in colder zones. |

This old single form China Rose,
Rosa chinensis ‘Mutabilis’, was given
to us by the late J.C. Raulston to try in Zone 7. It’s been around now
for many years and gets no special treatment or coddling but still
thrives. This was a favorite of Graham Stuart Thomas’ and he describes
it ... ”The colour of the flowers is remarkable: they open from
slender pointed buds of vivid orange, flame coloured where the sun
strikes them; on opening they are soft pale chamois-yellow within,
while the flame of the bud continues to mark the outside. The second
day, after pollinating, they change to soft coppery pink, and on the
third day as they wrinkle and fall the colour deepens to coppery
crimson.” |

Salix
‘Hakuro Nishiki’ is a showy, fast growing willow that has
attractions in all seasons. The green and white variegated foliage has
pink and coral highlights, especially on the newest growth. In early
spring it has yellow willow catkins and through the winter the bark
has some red coloring. It takes well to pruning and shaping and I’ve
seen braided trunk specimens. |

Vitex (VIE-tecks) Chaste Tree |
|
Vitex is a fast growing shrub with aromatic gray-green foliage,
producing showy, lilac-like flower spikes in mid to late summer. In
the northern part of its range and in severe winters in Zone 6 it can
die to the ground overwinter, but will return and grow rapidly when
the weather warms up. In Zone 7 and warmer it usually behaves as a
deciduous shrub that can benefit from a spring pruning to keep plant
form full. Vitex agnus-castus 'Blushing Spires'
is the light pink flowered form. |

of the Proven Winners Series. They say: "From the breeder of Weigela
WINE & ROSES® comes a new dwarf Weigela, MIDNIGHT WINE®, MIDNIGHT WINE
is ideal for the front of the border or for edging the perennial bed.
This tidy mound of dark burgundy-purple leaves can be used as an
accent plant or a dramatic mass planting. Consider using it instead of
‘Crimson Pygmy’ Barberry: MIDNIGHT WINE doesn’t have any thorns!
MIDNIGHT WINE is maintenance free and needs no pruning because its
habit is perfect the way it is. Just give it sun and water and you’ll
have intense color from spring to fall." |

Weigela 'Eyecatcher'
is a new dwarf variegated form from Proven Winners. They say:
"Electric yellow variegated foliage and dark red flowers in the spring
make Eyecatcher live up to its name. Attractive to butterflies and
humingbirds." Like many shrubs with yellow variegation it needs to be
sited out of hot all day sun. Morning sun would be fine |
