Euonymus Americana
Shrub. NATIVE. Does well in shady situations, tolerating even full shade, but does best in light, dappled shade. Regular in a woodland setting. Well-established plants are fairly drought tolerant. Attracts White-tailed deer and birds. This woodland plant, also know as the American strawberry bush, is a thin little shrub with narrow, opposite leaves, green stems and tiny, inconspicuous flowers that give way to peculiar crimson red fruits that look like strawberries bursting out of their red winter coats. The fruits, though beautiful to look at, are reported to be poisonous if ingested. Hydrangea-Mophead
Hydrangea (multiple varieties)
Sun to shade depending on variety Moist, well-drained soil. Some are drought tolerant, but may drop blooms if stressed. A group of 70-75 different varieties, that can grow between 1 and 10 feet in height, these bloom from early spring to late autumn with either “mophead” or “lacecap” style blooms. Blooms of most types are white but can span the spectrum from blue to dark purple depending on soil pH. H.macrophylla or French hydrangea, a native of Japan, tends to be popular in the south and can grow to a height of 10 feet. Mahonia Holly
Shrub.
Shade to full sun depending on species Water needs varies with species. Attracts birds due to bright fruit. From a small upright shrub to one of 10 feet in height, this genus of approximately 70 species is found from Asia to the Americas. Several species are popular garden shrubs, grown for their ornamental, often spiny, evergreen foliage. Yellow flowers are seen in winter and early spring, as are blue-black berries. The flowers may be among the earliest flowers to appear in spring. The berries are edible, and rich in vitamin C. |
Oak Leaf Hydrangea
Hydrangea quercifolia
Shrub. NATIVE. Partial to almost full shade. Drought tolerant. Prefers regular watering during dry spells. Oakleaf hydrangea is a wonderful American native shrub for partly shady areas. It bears snowy cone-shape flowers in summer, but the real attraction are the large, scalloped leaves that redden in autumn. It grows 6' x 8'. The large flower clusters remain on the plant for months, gradually turning from cream to pinkish to rusty red. The flower clusters are very attractive in floral arrangements. Oakleaf hydrangea grows best in woodsy situations on limey soils. Pink Indigo
Shrub. Sun. The indigo plant will grow to 2 to 3 feet in height and spread. In the summer, it produces attractive pink flowers.
Red Buckeye
Aesculus pavia
Shrub. NATIVE. Light shade to full sun. Regular moisture, though established plants are fairly drought tolerant. Attracts hummingbirds, butterflies and bees. Reaches a height of 12- 20 feet, often growing in a multi-stemmed form. It produces clusters of attractive dark red tubular flowers in March, April and May. The smooth light brown fruits, about 3 cm in diameter, reach maturity in September and October. Red buckeye has the first red tubular flowers to bloom in spring, which makes it very important to returning hummingbirds and the season's first butterflies. Rose
