Periwinkle

Vinca minor

"The Periwinkle, `Vinca minor,' is also commonly referred to as Trailing Myrtle, Dwarf Periwinkle or Creeping Myrtle. This common species of Periwinkle is one of the most popular and widely planted groundcovers. Its trailing stems have smooth, evergreen leaves that root at the nodes as they trail along the ground. This plant will quickly spread to form an attractive ground cover. Very effective on slopes or banks, this plant can be used to stabilize soils and prevent erosion. This evergreen perennial is identical to Vinca Major, except that it has somewhat smaller flowers."

Kwanzan Flowering Cherry

Kwanzan Flowering Cherry

The Kwanzan Flowering Cherry Tree, `Prunus serrulata Kwanzan,' will rapidly grow to its mature height of twenty to thirty feet.  This deciduous tree is one of the most popular flowering cherry trees available on the market.  It has clear pink, double blooms, with multiple petals like a carnation.  The flowering period is three weeks long.  Once the blooms have been spent, they will give way to light green foliage that has a red tinge.  This beautiful ornamental flowering tree is also known as the Japanese Flowering Cherry Tree. 

 




Golden Chalice Calla Lily

Golden Chalice Calla Lily

The Calla Golden Chalice, `Zantedeschia,' features broadly shaped green, lightly spotted foliage and large, golden yellow flowers.  The flowers will bloom for ten to eleven weeks with a plant height of nearly two feet and a spread of up to sixteen inches.  This somewhat deer resistant plant is suitable for container growing, but looks best planted in a perennial garden.  This Calla Lily is perfect for adding a splash of color to any garden of landscape. 

 


 

Red Pendula Begonia

Red Pendula Begonia

The Begonia Pendula Red, `Begonia Pendula Red,' displays multitudes of beautiful red flowers.  This spring planted tuber has much smaller flowers than upright begonias, and also requires more water.  Sometimes called basket begonias, Pendula makes up in numbers what the flowers lack in size.  Light fertilization applied weekly will assist in maintaining healthy, vibrant blooms.  Daily watering should be applied in warm weather, as they should never be allowed to dry out.
