Even as the dog days of summer are nearing an end, Hydrangea Trees are adding a delightful splash of lush blossoms to the late summer landscape. These small ornamental trees run from 5 to 10 feet tall, depending on how they are pruned, grow in a wide variety of soils and do well in light levels from full sun to partial shade, and produce lots of blossoms that last for 6-12 weeks.
Limelight Hydrangea trees are currently the most popular variety, displaying cone to oval shaped dense white blossoms on vigorous new shoots that present in upright fashion initially and gradually arching as the blossoms increase in size and weight. The picture here is of one of our landscape beds at home. We have a Limelight Hydrangea tree to the left and a Pinky Winky Hydrangea shrub to the right. Boulders, evergreen shrubs and shade perennials complete the bed which is so beautiful this time of year.

The fabulous Firefall Maple is finally available, and offers homeowners and professionals alike a great new option for placement in the landscape of a fast growing, well structured maple of moderate width that shows eye popping reddish fall color.
Firefall Maple becomes ever more handsome as it matures, sporting a distinctive cutleaf foliage, lovely oval shape, and sturdy 45 degree angle branching that attaches strongly to the trunk for excellent long term durability. Branches sometimes develop a slightly wavy appearance that adds to visual interest, particularly during the long 6 1/2 months when there are no leaves on the trees here in Minnesota.
Versatility is another hallmark of Firefall Maple. Firefall will grow well in pretty moist soils, somewhat sandy/gravelly soils and most everything in between, and will be a good fit for smaller yards with a rated width of approximately 35′-40′ compared to most shade trees that commonly spread from 50′ to 70′ wide.
We have Firefall Maple available in #3, #7 and #15 pot sizes with 2010 Fall Sale prices ranging from $13.99 to $97.30. Heights of these trees cover a range from 4′ to 15′, with a caliper thickness of 1/2″ to 1 1/2″. Prices valid during 2010.

Heidi Brosseau submits the following article on the perennial Heuchera. It is also the perennial of the week, through next Thursday, September 23, 2010, and is on sale at 10% off!
Heavenly Heuchera. Heuchera commonly known as ‘Coralbells’ are one of the more versatile perennials available. All thrive in part shade while some varieties can even handle full sun or full shade. Some varieties like ‘Hollywood’ have showy flowers but mostly heucheras are known for their amazing foliage – - – purple, chocolate, rose, chartreuse, peach, berry, black and variegated are just a few words used to describe the color of their leaves. Some varieties add ruffled edges or exaggerated veins to their leaves and produce wonderful textures.
While these plants are terrific planted in the ground, I want to mind everyone how great they are in planters and containers. Mums, grasses and evergreens come alive with heucheras added to the mix.
Heucheras are semi-evergreens which mean much of their foliage will remain colorful and attractive into the winter. Frosted heuchera leaves produce a magical effect when the weather begins to dip below freezing in the fall. If you haven’t tried heucheras in your landscape yet, you really should and check out some of the new and exciting varieties that are still available this season.
We have a limited supply of 2009 dug balled and burlapped shade trees on sale at 50% off. There are Oaks, Maples Lindens and Honeylocusts available.
This year’s crop (2010) of balled and burlapped trees are available at 30% to 50% off on selected varieties. Valid during 2010.
