Description

Buxus ‘Green Mountain’

‘Green Mountain’ is a dense, upright, evergreen boxwood that typically grows to 2-3′ tall over the first 10 years. This is a slow-growing hybrid shrub that may eventually mature to as much as 5-7′ tall. It was introduced by Sheridan Nurseries of Oakville, Ontario, Canada in the mid-1960s as part of the Sheridan Series. Parents are thought to be B. sempervirens ‘Suffruticosa’ (female) and B. sinica var. insularis (male). Smooth-margined, narrow-elliptic leaves (to 3/4″ long) are glossy dark green. Foliage may acquire bronze tones in winter. Small, somewhat inconspicuous, apetulous, greenish-cream flowers in terminal and axillary clusters bloom in April and May. Genus name comes from an old Latin name. Common name of boxwood is in reference to the prior use of the wood to make boxes. Another theory on common name is that the name is in reference to young plant stems which are quadrangular

A rare selection of a very hardy macrophylla type of Hydrangea with cherry red florets arranged in a circle with a profusion of tiny star like light pink flowers in the center of this gorgeous bloom. A beautiful, rounded selection with flowers all around top to bottom. This new Hydrangea is working well in a wide range of conditions. The fall color of the foliage is burgundy when the cool weather comes on long and slow. Cherry Explosion likes protection from the hot afternoon sun. When grown in acid soils, the flower color is lavender. When this plant dies back over winter, it rebounds vigorously with each stem flowering beautifully on new wood. Mature growth is 3-4' high and wide, and a bit larger in warmer climates where it does not die back in the winter. Best to be planted in zones 4-9.

Fire Light® is the standard to measure all panicle hydrangeas! We developed this easy-to-grow, reliable panicle hydrangea in Michigan, selecting it for its huge, full flower heads and sturdy, strong stems. Blooms emerge creamy-white and age to a vivid red for lots of summer color. It makes a great cut flower, fresh or dried, and can be used as a hedge, specimen, or incorporated into flower gardens and foundation plantings. Top three reasons to grow Fire Light® hydrangea:
    • Exceptionally hardy, growing and flowering well even in chilly zone 3
    • large flowers age to red early in the summer for a colorful display
    • low-maintenance and easy to grow – the perfect plant for “black thumbs.”

Plant Needs

  Light Requirement: Part Sun to Sun Maintenance Category: Easy Blooms On: New Wood Bloom Time: Early Summer Bloom Time: Mid Summer Bloom Time: Late Summer Hardiness Zones: 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b Water Category: Average Uses: Border Plant Uses: Container Uses: Cut Flower Uses: Dried Flower Uses: Good for Screening Uses: Landscape Uses: Mass Planting Uses: Specimen or Focal Point Maintenance Notes: Panicle hydrangeas are best pruned in late fall or early spring. Cut the branches back by about one-third their total length. This plant tolerates a wide range of conditions, but does not grow well in soggy soil. Plant in full sun in zones 3-7; afternoon shade is preferable in warmer areas. A good 2-3″ (5-7.6 cm) layer of shredded bark mulch over the roots is very beneficial. If desired, fertilize in early spring with a granular fertilizer formulated for woody plants, like a rose fertilizer.		The enormous flower heads are a blend of vanilla and strawberry, held upright on red stems. Flowers emerge creamy white in mid-summer, change to pink as the night temperatures drop and finally turn strawberry red. New blooms emerge as older blooms change color, giving the plant a multicolored effect in late summer and early fall. The red coloring lasts at least 3-4 weeks. Plants grow upright, and then cascade later in the season. Excellent for fresh cut and dried flower arrangements.
