Bush Honeysuckle - Dwarf
Dwarf Bush Honeysuckle, 'Diervilla lonicera', is a vigorous, spreading plant that exhibits an abundance of small, tube shaped, yellow flowers in late spring to early summer. This low mounding shrub is great for drier sites and well-drained areas in partial shade. Dwarf Bush Honeysuckle makes nice mass plantings because of its short height and quick growth rate. The red, orange, and yellow colors of the bronze tinted foliage becomes bright and very welcome in the fall. This shrub is excellent for bank plantings because its roots will help retain the soil. It is attractive to bees, butterflies and/or birds. ... more information
Barberry-Red Leaf Japanese The Barberry bush or RedLeaf Japanese bush, Berberis thunbergii, is a deciduous shrub reaching up to 24" tall and about 30" wide. The branches are slender, spiny, and small, and the leaves are roundly oval in a deep red to purple color. The small, yellow flowers borne beneath leaves, from April to May, are not showy. Bright red berries can be found along stems from late fall through winter. Ironically, this is never really considered a feature of this plant. Barberry bushes are best located in full sun. This plant is tolerant of many types of soil, but will not do well in wet to very moist soils. As name Barberry implies, this makes an excellent hedge or filler shrub. |
