ASH LEAF SPIREA SORBARIA

B. thunbergii ‘Sunjoy Mini Maroon’ SUNJOY MINI MAROON® BARBERRY

B. thunbergii ‘Crimson Pygmy’ CRIMSON PYGMY BARBERRY

S. sorbifolia ASH LEAF SPIREA

NEW! This sterile barberry is not invasive! Finally, a colorful, care-free barberry that won't make a nuisance of itself: Sunjoy Mini Maroon®. It took Dr. Tom Ranney over ten years to develop, but the results were worth it. Sunjoy Mini Maroon barberry offers sumptuously deep purple-red foliage on a dense, nicely shaped mound. It needs no pruning to stay small and lush, and like all barberry, it is highly resistant to damage from deer and rabbits. And it does it all without producing the seeds which have made other varieties so problematic. Simply put, it's a better choice. 24-36" Zones 4-8 MAY

A great plant for moist, well-drained soil. Valuable for its large plumes of creamy white flowers in June. Attractive, dark green fern–like foliage. Good for mass plantings and erosion control. 6-8' Zones 2-7 JUN S. sorbifolia 'Sem' SEM ASH LEAF SPIREA

A very slow growing, compact form of red leaved Barberry. An excellent choice for a sunny foundation planting or great as a low hedge. Deep, dark red leaves turn orange-red in fall. 18"x2-3' Zones 4-8 MAY B. thunbergii ‘Torch d’or’ GOLDEN TORCH® BARBERRY

BOXWOOD BUXUS

B. ‘Green Mountain’ GREEN MOUNTAIN BOXWOOD

Sure to become a classic. This little gem sports pink, fern–like foliage that turns light green as it ages. An exciting dwarf form that only gets 3-4' tall, excellent accent or even a small hedge. Creamy white flowers are borne at the tips in July and August. Fall color pictured. 3-4'x3-4' Zones 3-7 JUL-AUG BARBERRY BERBERIS

B. thunbergii ‘Concorde’ CONCORDE BARBERRY

An excellent, broadleaved evergreen that has dark, shiny, green leaves all year long. Grown sheared as pyramidal, dense, upright and pointed, will need additional shearing as the plants grow and develop. If left unsheared, it will still be a more upright form with a looser habit. An excellent hedge or specimen plant that will take sun or shade. 5' tall and 3' spread when mature, but can be maintained at almost any size with regular pruning. A good alternative to Pyramidal Yews. 4-5'x3' Zones 5-9 APR

A McKay Nursery Company introduction into the U.S. from France. A new cultivar of Barberry that leafs out with incredible orange new growth that turns bright yellow as it ages. The yellow color holds up well in the sun without burning. Fall color is orange gold. The mature size of the plant is about 4' tall and only getting about 20” across, an interesting form for the landscape. Transplants easily, tolerates drier soils and full sun. 3-4'x20" Zones 4-8 MAY

This colorful beauty has intense, deep, dark purple, rounded leaves that have an incredible velvety look. New growth is red and shows up nicely against the deep dark purple older leaves. Plant form is very desirable; a small globe when mature. Few red fruits follow the inconspicuous blooms. Tolerant of dry soils. 2-3' Zones 4-8 MAY
