Patterson Pride Plum
Dragon Baby™ Hydrangea

The Patterson Pride Plum is known for its delicious flavor, with firm, sweet golden flesh and dark red skin that isn’t sour. The freestone plums can grow 4-5 cm in diameter and are well-suited for fresh eating, baking, and preserves. It can produce heavy yields that ripen in mid-September which is later than other plums.

C.F. Patterson developed the Patterson Pride Plum at the University of Saskatchewan. It is known for its semi-dwarf, weeping growth habit

Patterson Pride Plum is a hybrid between Canada Plum and Japanese Plum. For fruit production, it needs to be planted with another variety for cross-pollination. Canada Plum and American Plum are considered universal pollinizers.

Dragon Baby™ Hydrangea is a dwarf panicle hydrangea with flowers that start as lime green and transition to a rich pink towards the fall. During the summer the leaves are a deep green and turn a golden yellow with a red to purple tint. Persistent blooms and fall colors add multi season interest to your landscape. The petite form is well suited for urban yards and tight spaces.

Flowers grow on new wood so pruning is best done in late winter or early spring. The Dragon Baby Hydrangea is part of the Bloomin’ Easy® collection.
