Dwarf Birch, also known as Bog Birch for its common occurrence in wet areas, is a small deciduous shrub native to North America.
Found growing up into the arctic circle, this is one of the few trees that grows that far north.
Common in riparian zones and boreal forests across Western Canada. It is a common reclamation species.
This species is often used by local artisans to twist into shapes like willow and make decorative hearts, circles, etc.
Korean Boxwood is a vibrant evergreen shrub. A top choice for colder climates, this shrub will look stunning lining a driveway or as a foundation plant.
Easy to root in and maintain, Korean Boxwood's thick foliage is deer resistant and turns an attractive yellow-brown to purplish in winter. Consider applying mulch around the base to keep the roots moist and cool.
Note: This species is currently unavailable. Grow your own using Korean Boxwood seeds at SeedTime.ca.
