H. paniculata ‘Bulk’ QUICK FIRE® HYDRANGEA

S. vulgaris var. alba COMMON WHITE LILAC

Kerria japonica ‘Golden Guinea’ GOLDEN GUINEA JAPANESE KERRIA

Same as Common Purple Lilac but with pure white flowers. A classic flowering shrub. Single white flowers richly scented and light green foliage. 10-12' Zones 2-7 MAY S. reticulata JAPANESE TREE LILAC shrub form

Quick Fire® Hydrangea is a great new selection of hydrangea for the upper Midwest. White, cone- shaped blooms will emerge about a month earlier than most other hydrangea and will literally cover the plant with 8-12" blooms in early June. The real show begins as these blooms change color to a fine, dark pink and serve as a second season of bloom for the rest of the summer. Tree form is also available. 6-8' Zones 3-8 JUN-FROST H. paniculata ‘Silver Dollar’ SILVER DOLLAR HYDRANGEA

A tough, upright, rounded shrub to brighten up your sun or shade border. A twiggy, deciduous shrub with double- toothed, corrugated foliage. Golden yellow, globe- shaped flowers are borne from April through May and sporadically throughout the growing season. Interesting bright-green stems stay green all winter. It does prefer protection from late afternoon sun. Drought tolerant. 3-5' Zones 5-8 APR-MAY

LILAC SYRINGA

Full sun, well drained, no fertilizer S. x chinensis 'Saugeana' CHINESE PERSIAN LILAC

This classic addition to any landscape offers an incredible flower display. Plant them in sun, only prune immediately after the blooms are done, and be very careful not to give any high nitrogen fertilizer and will flower beautifully. Creamy white flowers are the last of the lilacs to bloom. Upright when young becoming more spreading with age. 20-25' Zones 3-7 JUL S. x hyacinthiflora 'Pocahontas' POCAHONTAS LILAC

Silver Dollar Hydrangea is an incredible, smaller growing selection of PeeGee Hydrangea that produces huge amounts of bloom. Flowers are white and very showy in late summer. Overall size of this Hydrangea selection is only about 4-5' tall and wide! Outstanding, smaller size will make this one your new favorite. Full sun to part shade. Well-drained soil Is best. 4-5'x4-5' Zones 4-8 JUL -FROST H. 'Samantha' SAMANTHA HYDRANGEA Remember the snowball Hydrangea from your Grandma's garden? 'Samantha' has that same wonderful flower but also has vibrant white undersides to the dark green leaves! This provides a stunning effect when blowing in the wind. 'Samantha' is great for sun or shade, and will perfom best with afternoon shade. We love this new Hydrangea!. 3-4" Zones 4-8 JUL-SEP

Deeper purple color than the old fashioned 'Persian' Lilac. Abundant upright flowers. A beautiful informal hedge plant. 6-8' Zones 3-7 MAY S. vulgaris COMMON PURPLE LILAC

Another earlier blooming Canadian hybrid lilac that blooms just before the French Hybrids. Very dark purple maroon buds open to single dark purple florets. Highly fragrant blooms are borne profusely. Very hardy. Needs a sunny, well-drained site. One of the best! 10-12' Zones 2-7 MAY FRENCH HYBRID LILACS Blooms are extremely large, many of them double, colors varied and beautiful, with a most delightful fragrance. The French Lilacs are slow growers and require patience, but the wait is worthwhile.

The Lilac your Grandmother grew. Large, vigorous shrub with richly scented lilac flowers borne in dense, erect, pyramidal panicles. A perfect informal hedge or screen. Blue-green foliage. 12-15' Zones 2-7 MAY

HYPERICUM ST. JOHN’S WORT

H. kalmianum 'Ames' AMES HYPERICUM

From Iowa State University, a hardy upright form with a finer texture than other selections. This beauty has incredible golden flowers that are sensational in the heat of summer. The flowers have very showy brush- like stamens, and the seed capsule that follows adds some additional winter interest. The summer foliage is blue-green. 2-3' Zones 4-7 JUL-SEP
