Salix
purpurea Nana ……………… $9.99
(Dwarf Arctic Willow Shrub) [3 - 5 ft.] This little beauty is grown
for its ornamental blue-green foliage and dense, fine textured compact

a backdrop in the perennial garden. Hard to find and worth growing;
it will grow fast for you.

early Autumn. We leave the flower heads on each year until the following
Spring, because the dried brown flower heads look nice against the winter

Solidago sphacelata
'Golden Fleece' ….….…… $6.99
(Dwarf Goldenrod) [18"] Many wands of golden flowers from mid-August
to October. Heart-shaped leaves. We like it because it looks fresh late
in the season, when many other perennials have lost their glory in the
summer heat. This is a small, ornamental goldenrod - only slightly like
the huge plant you may see growing wild in the countryside. Contrary
to popular belief, this plant does NOT cause your allergies to go berserk!
(Ragweed is actually the culprit.)
