The Snow Berry, 'Symphoricarpos × doorenbosii Marleen', also known as New Eden 'Marleen' or Pink Snow Berry, is winter hardy plant that thrives in sunny or partially shaded areas. This shrub has slightly bent branches with blue-green leaves. Small, whitish pink flowers appear from June into September. This Snow Berry is a compact shrub that produces bright purple to pink berries in great abundance in the fall. This new snowberry is very suitable as cut flowers and for displaying the decorative branches with berries. It is a great container plant. For best results Marleen can be cut back to a height of 10 inches in February or March. ... additional information
Heavenly Bamboo The Heavenly Bamboo, Nadina domestica, is not a true bamboo but a upright 6-8’ high, semi-evergreen shrub that tends to slowly sucker at the base, forming colonies. New leaves are coppery to purplish-red, becoming blue green with age. When this plant is in full sun it usually assumes a reddish tint in winter (depending on environmental conditions). Perfect and pinkish in bud, finally white 8-15” long panicles appear in May-June, and will flower in heavy shade. Spectacular, round clusters of bright red berries ripen in the fall and persist into winter. Heavenly Bamboo is more showy that most hollies because fruit is not hidden by foliage. Careful pruning, as canes do not branch out and best to thin out old stems every year or head back old canes at varying lengths to produce a dense plant. Once established, they are very tough plants, thriving in sun, shade, moist or dry conditions. |
