Aronia melanocarpa 'Low Scape Mound'
Low Scape Mound Chokeberry (also known as Aronia) is a tough, tolerant, tidy little mound of glossy green foliage. In spring, it's covered in hundreds of dainty white flowers, and in autumn, the leaves turn brilliant red to contrast with dark purple-black fruit. The unique low-growing, mound-shaped habit of this new variety makes it perfect for mass planting as a ground cover or edging plant. Best of all, it thrives almost anywhere: cold climates and hot ones, wet soils and dry ones, sun and part shade. This native shrub will gracefully handle just about any landscape challenge you can throw at it!  Grows to 2 ft. tall by the same wide.

Betula x plettkei

Grows only 3 to 4 feet tall and the same wide in full sun to light shade.

Cotoneaster procumbens 'Gerald'

It has glossy, scarlet red branches. Can be grown in full sun to partial shade.

Upright blossoms clusters are packed solid and are held by thick, sturdy stems for a prominent show. It grows approximately 6 ft. tall by the same wide in sun to partial shade, and is an easy to grow even for the most 'black thumbed' of gardeners.

Hydrangea serrata 'SMNMAKTSR'

Hypericum inodorum 'Magical Midnight Glow'
Bright yellow flowers mature to long-lasting, cherry-red berries that create quite a colour-play against dark-red leaves. Midnight Glow has improved breeding traits that feature a compact plant with colour-drenched, ornamental berries. This new rust-resistant selection is certain to add a splash of colour to your fall garden and decorating palette. The maraschino cherry like fruits glow in the sunlight and evening light, like little red lanterns on each shrub.

Physocarpus opulifolius 'Hoogi018'

Physocarpus opulifolius 'SMNPOTWG'
The introduction of purple Tiny Wine ninebark was a game changer for ninebarks, and so will this one be! Both plants share the same attractive bushy habit and small, refined leaves, but this newest variety offers bright gold new growth. This plant blooms heavily, bearing dozens of pink buds that open to white flower clusters in summer. It boasts very good mildew resistance, and grows 3 to 4 feet tall by the same wide in full sun to light shade.  ** Special order

Physocarpus opulifolius 'SMNPOBLR'
Improved mildew resistance is what you will experience with this new exceptionally coloured ninebark from Proven Winners that is reminiscent of the colours of Coppertina. Rich hues of orange red are found during the cooler seasons of spring and fall, and this colour deepens to sparkling burgundy in summer. The large arge white flowers that appeare in late spring give way to bright red seed-heads that are showy too!  Sturdy stems and a compact upright habit of only 5 to 6 feet tall by the same wide will help also make it useful as a shrub for screening.
