These new plants this year from Spring Meadow Nursery.
Tandoori Orange® Linden Viburnum
(Viburnum dilatatum 'SMNVDMDO')
Wow..a linden viburnum with orange fruits and fall color, plus outstanding white blooms in spring. It's tolerant of shade and deer-resistant as well. It's six to eight feet tall and wide, so it needs a lot of room in the garden. Mass it in borders or use as a single specimen. Hardy to zone 5. And plant it with Cardinal Candy® viburnum for lots of fruit on both plants.
Invincibelle Wee White® Smooth Hydrangea
(Hydrangea arborescens 'NCHA5')
Just think ... an Annabelle hydrangea that only gets two and a half feet tall and wide. The flowers have strong stems, so they stay upright, and it blooms early summer through frost. No surprise, it won the 2018 Direct Gardening Association Green Thumb award. It takes part sun to sun, and is hardy to zone 3. Great for mass plantings, edging, specimen. Cut back in spring by about one-third of its height as new growth appears.
Wabi Sabi® Doublefile Viburnum
(Viburnum plicatum var. tomentosum 'SMVPTFD')
Another great dwarf viburnum from Spring Meadow ... just two and a half feet high and three to four feet wide ... a size that'll fit in many a border or fill in those empty spaces here and there.
White lacecap flowers in spring, a horizontal habit, shade tolerant, deer and rabbit resistant. It takes part sun to sun and is hardy to Zone 5.
Pollypetite® Rose of Sharon
(Hibiscus sp. 'Rosina')
At three to four feet high and wide, this rose of sharon has a tall, wide habit with lavender-pink blooms in late summer. It's almost seedless as well, so you don't have to worry about it spreading all over the yard. It's also deer resistant and is hardy to Zone 5. Prune in spring, if necessary, as new growth appears. Use in a mass planting or as a focal point in a border.
