Crataegus rotundifolia (Crataegus cyclophylla)
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
Peking Lilac is a small, deciduous shrub. This robust species is not as fragrant as Common Lilac, but it makes up for it with its large clusters of beautiful white flowers in the spring.
Perfect for any yard, Peking Lilac does not sucker, seldom suffers from disease, and requires little pruning.
Note: This species is currently unavailable. Grow your own using Peking Lilac seeds at SeedTime.ca.
Getting its name from rounded, toothed leaves, the Round Leaf Hawthorn is a winter hardy shrub that grows small, red, berry-like fruits.
Commonly used for landscaping, this shrub can also be found along stream banks and in wooded areas. Caution is advised when handling the Round Leaf Hawthorn, as it can have sharp thorns approximately 1" long.
