- Vitex agnus-castus, commonly called chaste tree, is typically grown in warm winter climates as a vase-shaped, deciduous shrub (to 10-15 tall) or trained as a single trunk tree to 20 tall. In cold winter areas in USDA Zones 5-6, it is more often grown as a 3-5 tall herbaceous perennial. Features aromatic, compound, palmate, grayish-green leaves with 5-7 lance-shaped leaflets (each leaflet to 6" long) and tiny, fragrant, lavender to pale violet flowers appearing in loose panicles (to 12" long) in mid to late summer. Flowers are quite attractive to butterflies. Best grown in loose, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Plant in sheltered locations north of USDA Zone 7. In USDA Zones 5 and 6, this shrub often suffers winter dieback or dies to the ground. It is not considered reliably winter hardy throughout USDA Zone 5. Even though plants may die to the ground in Zone 5-6 winters, the roots often survive the winter and push up as much a 4-7 of new growth the following year. Seeds have been tested for germination.

Adding a jolt of color to any garden or container, Hakonechloa macra 'All Gold' (Hakone Grass) is a brilliant golden grass that literally gleams in the shade. Its bright foliage forms a cascading mound of gracefully arching, slender blades that tend to become chartreuse in shade, and pure gold in the sun. Holding its vibrant color from spring through summer, it develops a pinkish blush as fall arrives and eventually turns golden tan in winter, before dying to the ground.

It is graceful round-headed tree with light grey bark, is one of the several North AmericanRed Oaks which have been planted in Europe as a amenity tree on account of the beauty of its autumn foliage. It grows 27-45 m (90-150 ft) in height. More recently it has been planted experimentally for it timber. The young shoots are rather stout, often five-sided and olive-green to reddish-brown. The brown winter buds are alternately arranged, but towards the tip of the twigs they form clusters. The leaves are larger than those of European native Oaks and have sharply angled lobes. They vary in size and shape and the vein of each lobe projects as a bristle beyond the point. At first the leaves are a pale yellow, later green, and in autumn they turn a dull to rich red-brown. The flowers of both sexes appear on the same tree in May. The male catkins are yellowish-green, long and sometimes very numerous; the female flowers are shortly stalked. The acorns, which do not mature until the second year, are dumpy and flat-based, standing in shallow cups. The light grey bark remains smooth for a long time. Only after many years does it develop a slightly rough surface. The wood is open textured, with large pores, and lacks the strength and durability of the native Oaks. It will probably be used for cheaper furniture and flooring. The tree grows fast, even of soils of moderate fertility and plays a small role in European forestry.

This 2000 Plant Delights/JLBG introduction is one of the most prized plants in our garden. All summer, the 8' tall x 8' wide umbrella-shaped clump of this woody daphne cousin is composed of smooth, brown trunks, adorned with plumeria-like leaves. The foliage drops in mid-December to reveal both the wonderful bark and the large, silvery flower buds. The flower buds open steadily from mid-January to early April, producing an overwhelmingly fragrant display of pendent, golden yellow flowers. Edgeworthia chrysantha 'Snow Cream' is a triploid form that is much more winter hardy (below 0 degrees F) than the older diploid form which used to be sold as Edgeworthia papyrifera. The red-flowered 'Akebono' (Red Dragon) is sadly the much less hardy diploid form. Maintenance: Assuming you plant your Edgeworthia chrysantha 'Snow Cream' where it can get large enough, there really is little to do in terms of maintenance. You'll have a few leaves to rake when they finally drop, usually around mid-December. Growing Conditions: Edgeworthia chrysantha isn't overly picky about soil conditions as long as the drainage is decent. It's not nearly as picky as its first cousin, Daphne odora. Edgeworthia will thrive in both sun and light shade. We have found them to grow their best in 2-6 hours of sun each day, where the plants will have a much denser habit as well as far more flowers. Natural Impact: Edgeworthia chrysantha is a superb early season nectar source for honeybees.

Morning sun exposure intensifies the golden yellow color. Perfect for brightening up shade gardens or highlighting the edge of a path or walkway.

Carex plants thrive in moist soils and perform well in average garden soils. Carex Everillo plants are evergreen throughout most of their growing range. Where not evergreen, the foliage should be cut to the ground and removed in late winter. Carex Everillo is a fine-textured sedge that typically grows in a low, grass-like mounded clump to 10-16” tall and wide. It is native to dry woods and rocky slopes throughout Japan.
Fast growing, easy care trees. They'll grow anywhere, but do best in a dampness like at the edge of the berm here, where puddles accumulate when it rains. 5/13/15 I planted several river birches each year starting in spring 2007. I got some from Forestfarm, a bare root one from Arborday, a five gallon container tree from Lexington Gardens and one from Lowe's. Most are probably 'Heritage', except for the one on the right side of the berm -- its bark is noticeably different -- shaggy but not as colorful, and it is probably the straight species. 11/12/2010 just four years after I planted a 10 inch twig! All have grown immensely fast; the bare root twig on the berm went from a tiny stick to a beautiful multi trunk specimen in four years as seen above. That spot gets quite a bit of pooled water at the edge of the berm when it rains, and the river birch here has grown the fastest, but they are all quick growers. They are late to leaf out in spring. Fall color on all of them is a nice yellow. The bark, even in the first few years is peeling and pinkish. 7/14/11 the bareroot twig from Arborday, after 5 years They are graceful and kind of open, giving a real "woodland" look to plantings. They can be messy and rangy, and I have had to prune them for shape and size many times each season. Don't prune in spring when the sap is running. They don't get leaf spot like the white paper birches do. River birches really are water lovers as the name says. In spring they put out a lot of leaves, and then in summer they will start to drop them and turn yellow. The trees are fine, it just looks drought stressed at times. The river birches on the berm have gotten larger than the spruces and are crowding them. When the river birches have no leaves in winter and early spring, the architectural look and peeling bark are nice against the evergreens, but in summer it's clear they are too big for the space. What to do . . . Somehow they have an elegant shape while being messy, shaggy barked, twiggy trees. 9/24/14 Two of the spruces on the berm were taken out at the end of 2014, and the area is open now. in 2015. The river birch is no longer crowded. I limbed it up quite a bit. 5/13/15 The bark really is amazing.
El envejecimiento tiene lugar en la mayoría de los organismos multicelulares.
