This spirea is better than great – it’s a doozie!

Spirea is an old landscape staple, so what could one do that could possible earn it superlatives? Well, seedless and non-invasive would be a start; non-stop blooming would be even better. And these are exactly what makes Double Play Doozie spirea the most beautiful, innovative, ground-breaking spirea to ever grace a landscape. Like all of the Double Play® spirea series, the show begins in early spring, when the foliage emerges in blazing brilliant color – in this case, deep red. By late spring, the flowers begin to emerge, a bright, glowing purple-red that truly sings in the landscape. And as summer comes on, the show doesn’t stop: it just keeps flowering, and flowering, and flowering. Because it produces no seeds, it puts all of its energy into flowering! It does it all with the same good looks, drought tolerance, and deer resistance that you expect from spirea, too.

Top reasons to grow Double Play Doozie® spirea:

– Non-invasive! Sets no seed so won’t spread into the wild.

– Blooms non-stop – all the energy it would spend developing seed goes into blooming instead.

– Deer resistant and very hardy.

Remove the oldest, woodiest stems every couple of years or so to keep growth fresh and vigorous.

Microbiota decussata Siberian Cypress or Russian Cypress Microbiota decussata, commonly called Siberian cypress or Russian arborvitae, is a dwarf, evergreen conifer that forms a shrubby ground cover to 8-12” tall with indefinitely spreading stems that nod at the tips. May spread to as much as 10-12’. It is native to mountainous areas of southeastern Siberia. Feathery, soft-textured, scalelike (infrequently awl-shaped) foliage is arranged in flat, fan-like sprays reminiscent of arborvitae (Thuja). Plants also resemble in habit some of the horizontal junipers. Foliage is bright green in summer changing to bronze-purple in fall and winter. Fruits are tiny, spherical, berry-like cones (to 1/4” diameter) with woody-like scales. Common Name: Russian arbor-vitae Type: Needled evergreen Family: Cupressaceae Native Range: Southeastern Siberia Zone: 3 to 7 Height: 0.50 to 1.50 feet Spread: 3.00 to 12.00 feet Bloom Time: Non-flowering Bloom Description: Non-flowering Sun: Full sun to part shade Water: Medium Maintenance: Low Suggested Use: Ground Cover Leaf: Evergreen Other: Winter Interest

Flower color is not affected by soil pH. Best in moist, well drained soil but adapts to most sites. Avoid excessive and high nitrogen fertilizers – one application of a granular fertilizer formulated for woody plants (like a rose fertilizer) is sufficient for the year.
Super-sized flowers! This stunning hydrangea is a bit of a prodigy.  We were looking for a hydrangea like the old favorite ‘Annabelle’, but one that wouldn’t flop over.  We found it…and it had supersized blooms, too! This adaptable native plant produces huge flowers (as much as 12″ across) and is both reliable and beautiful. Flowers open green, then mature to white before turning green at the end of their life cycle. Very cold hardy, Incrediball blooms on new growth so even very cold winters won’t keep it from blooming. The flowers are held upright on very sturdy stems, so they don’t flop like ‘Annabelle’ will.

Features

The biggest thing to happen to hydrangeas happens to be tiny! Invincibelle Wee White® hydrangea is positively ground-breaking: it’s the first dwarf ‘Annabelle’ type hydrangea in the world! This cute little landscape plant ensures that any landscape can enjoy the reliability, low-maintenance, and season-long beauty of hydrangeas. It reaches just 1-2.5′ (.3-.7 m) tall and naturally grows as a tidy, rounded mound. Each pure-white flower is held up on a strong, supportive stem for a display that looks more like a bouquet of flowers than a landscape plant. Blooming begins in early summer and continues through frost, with new flowers appearing the whole time. Versatile and floriferous, it just might be the solution to your landscape problems. Winner of the 2018 Direct Gardening Association Green Thumb award; available in better garden centers in spring 2018. Top three reasons to grow Invincibelle Wee White hydrangea: 1. The only dwarf ‘Annabelle’ hydrangea in the world. 2. Strong stems hold the flowers upright, even after summer storms. 3. Reblooming for months of fresh flowers.

Uses Notes: You can use Invincibelle Wee White hydrangea in almost any landscape application. It’s an especially nice choice for easy-care summer interest for foundation plantings or flower beds.
Maintenance Notes:
We recommend a minimum of six hours of bright sun for all smooth hydrangeas like Invincibelle Wee White. Sun ensures the strongest stems and the most blooms. In hot climates, afternoon shade is a good idea, but some sun is still imperative for best performance. Pruning is very simple for Invincibelle Wee White hydrangea: just cut the whole plant back by about one-third its total height each spring, just as the new growth begins to appear on the stems. This serves to preserve the woody base while encouraging new growth for maximum blooms. A 2-3″ (5-7.6 cm) thick layer of shredded bark mulch is smart for all hydrangeas, which tend to have shallow roots. If desired, fertilize in early spring with a granular fertilizer formulated for woody plants, like a rose fertilizer.
Fun Facts:
Smooth hydrangeas like Invincibelle Wee White are native to much of southeastern and central North America – you may even find one on a hike, though it won’t look like the showy mophead varieties we grow in our gardens.

Vanilla Strawberry™ Hydrangea

Hydrangea paniculata ‘Renhy’ PP20,670

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.
