Mayday Cherry is a small deciduous tree known for its early blooming and fragrant white flowers.

A favourite specimen tree on prairie homesteads, Mayday Cherry produces small black berries that are inedible to people but highly desirable to birds.

Tango Weigela is one of the smallest weigelas. Its compact form makes it ideal for urban yards or areas with limited space. The red, funnel shaped flowers with yellow throats are eye catching and fragrant. Good for borders, hedges, and foundation plantings, you'll love this new addition to your yard.
