Japanese Tree Lilac is an attractive, heavy-flowering lilac with fragrant white blossoms. It can be pruned to a single stem or grown as a multi-stemmed shrub.
Japanese Tree Lilac's dark reddish-brown bark peels as the tree ages, creating visual appeal for any yard, especially in the winter.
This tree is often planted along boulevards and its attractive white flowers signal spring to all who drive by.
Buttonbush is a moisture loving shrub that provides year round interest.
It has round, fragrant flowers resembling small buttons or pincushions. The flowers transform into small reddish-brown fruit that persists into winter while the leaves take on shades of red in fall.
Providing essential food to bees, butterflies, and other insects, this shrub is versatile. Try it in your next shrub border.
