Helictotrichon sempervirens - Blue Oat Grass
More enduring than blue fescues, blue oat grass is the best choice for accents. The clear blue summer foliage echoes with dwarf blue spruce and blue junipers. For a dramatic effect, try Helictotrichon with deep maroon leaved canna lilies.
Blue oat grass is such an imposing sight that is has the ability to stop anyone dead in their tracks.
A very popular shade tree, valued for its delicate, ferny appearance which casts a dappled shade below; foliage emerges a brilliant yellow, fading to light green; broad spreading habit of growth, seedless, very tolerant of adverse growing conditions
Description:
A beautiful and popular patio shrub with numerous attributes; striking spikes of fragrant lilac-pink flowers in late spring, small rounded foliage and a uniform compact ball shape grafted onto a standard, best used as a solitary accent in the garden
This tree is spectacular in summer with its dense foliage, and short stature. It is a perfect specimen for parks and larger landscapes due to its wide spreading branches which can droop to the ground. ‘Camperdownii’ is usually grafted to Ulmus americana in North America and Ulmus minor in Europe and thus it is susceptible to Dutch Elm disease caused by Elm Bark Beetles. It is sometimes confused with Ulmus glabra 'Pendula' as they are both weeping trees with similar albeit confusing forms. However, ‘Camperdownii’ produces a dome shaped crown, while ‘Pendula’ produces a stiff, flat crown.
Other common names rhododendron 'Cunningham's White' Genus Rhododendron can be evergreen or deciduous shrubs or trees, with simple leaves, sometimes with a dense colourful indumentum of hairs on the lower side, and funnel-shaped, bell-shaped or tubular flowers that may be solitary or in short racemes Family Ericaceae Details 'Cunningham's White' is a robust hardy hybrid to 2.2m tall, with dark green foliage and loose trusses of funnel-shaped white flowers opening from mauve buds in late spring
A sunny variety with gentle white and lemon yellow blooms that cover the branches in mid spring; an attractive accent plant; absolutely must have well-drained, highly acidic and organic soil, use plenty of peat moss when planting
