Sea Buckthorn, aka Seaberry, is a nitrogen fixing shrub that produces attractive berries high in vitamin C.
While we can't confirm claims that the berries are effective in treating various ailments, many people believe consuming the berries helps with arthritis, infections, and asthma, among other things.
Sea Buckthorn plants have attractive pale silvery-green leaves, dense branches, and large thorns, people like to grow in ornamental hedges or as a first row in a shelterbelt.
Note: these plants typically reach maturity and make their sex easily known (females producing fruit) in their 3rd or 4th year of growth. Our seedlings are too young to identify their sex.
The Morden Sunrise Rose is a popular shrub due to its yellow blooms that fade to a peachy-pink later in the summer and fall. These double flowers are lightly-scented and emerge from distinctive orange flower buds. It has a compact habit of growth, making this a refined addition to your garden.
The Morden Sunrise Rose has glossy green foliage during the spring and summer months, with leaves turning yellow in the fall. It produces showy orange rose hips in mid to late fall, and is quite disease resistant.
