Winter Heath
Often
blooming beneath the snow, Winter Heaths are pleasant reminders
of
spring on the way. These compact evergreen shrubs,
flowering thoughout
February
and March into April, rarely grow more than 18" in
height and 30" across.
Heaths
benefit from a light pruning in mid spring after the flowering
period
has
passed. Plant Heaths in locations protected from cold
winter winds--eastern
exposures
are ideal. Heaths require moist soil but at the same
time, need superb
drainage--plant
on a low mound and add plenty of sand and rich compost.

Witch Hazel
The
Witch Hazels are well known for their winter blooms--opening
on warmer days in January and February--holding during colder
days--opening again in late February into March and April.
All flowers are fragrant with the yellow blossoms of Arnold
Promise
being
especially so. Witch Hazels prefer well drained soils,
and perform equally
well
in light shade or full sun. During the fall months,
Witch Hazels provide
spectacular
combinations of yellow, orange, and red foliage.

CORAL
BARK JAPANESE MAPLE
What
a show this tree puts on as winter eases into
spring.
Set against a backdrop of evergreens with snow, the red
color of this tree's branches seems to intensify in late
winter.
During
the summer months, the Coral Bark Maple is covered with
soft lime green leaves. These turn to brilliant orange
and gold in the fall before falling
to
show off the fabulous red branches
The
Coral Bark Maple will grow equally well in full sun or light
shade in well drained soil. It prefers being protected
from cold winter winds. It will eventually grow to
a height of about 20 feet.
