The Eastern Red Bud is one of the first trees to bloom in the Eastern US in Spring. It is quickly followed by the American Dogwood which it is often used in combination with. Colors can vary somewhat from tree to tree making them an ideal choice for some variance in the landscape. Redbud must be moved during dormancy so plan ahead if you want to use this beauty in the landscape.
Kousa Dogwood
Kousa Dogwood or the Asian Dogwood is used extensively in landscapes in the US and shows a resistance to the pathogen affecting the American Dogwood. It blooms late in the Spring with its flowers coming after the foliage appears. It exhibits a good amount of heat tolerance in Zones 7 and 8 but does seem to appreciate a bit of afternoon shade in the hotter climates.
American Dogwood
The American Dogwood is a favorite in landscapes all over the world. With it’s beautiful floral display in the Spring and smaller stature this is a great choice for smaller garden spaces. Fall foliage is a brilliant red followed by red berries which last into the Winter further elevating this plants desirability. Having been chosen by Virginia and North Carolina as their state flower, this plant has unfortunately been affected by an introduced pathogen from Asia.
Cultivars such as Cherokee Princess are believed to have a greater tolerance and planting in full sun seems to lessen the susceptibility as well.
Sansanqua Camellia
Gracing the southern garden with blooms when most plants have succumbed to frost and cold, Sasanqua Camellias start their display in Fall and carry over into Winter. Sasanqua is a fast-growing Camellia and comes in a variety of colors including whites, pinks and reds. This plant is an excellent stand alone specimen or can be used for screening. Home and Garden Landscapes have larger sizes in Sasanquas with some of our specimens being in excess of 8 feet in height at the time of installation.
Camellia Japonica
Camellia japonica is one of our favorite choices for off-season color and evergreen foliage in the southern landscape. Japonicas tend to bloom from Winter into Spring often gracing southern gardens with blooms during the winter months. Camellia is great for use as a stand-alone plant or as a screen. Home and Garden Landscapes is unique in that we have larger specimen sizes available and use them frequently in our customer installations.
