Viburnum - Bailey Compact American Cranberrybush

Bailey Compact American Cranberrybush, viburnum trilobum 'Bailey Compact', is a rounded and compact plant that has dark green foliage during the season that turns a deep fiery red in the fall. It produces some white flowers and red fruits with age. It requires full sun or partial shade (flowering and fall color may be reduced in shade). It prefers moist, well-drained soil, but tolerates a range of conditions. This deciduous shrub makes a handsome accent, screen or border. Bailey Compact Ameican Cranberrybush is a great cover up for undersides of decks or the base of a post or column since it is a desirable plant for limited size areas. It has the perfect stature for narrow sideyards and courtyards because it grows only 5-6 feet tall and as wide, so it is ideally sized for foundation planting. What a beauty for woodland homesites, bird and wildlife gardens!. ... more

 

Adams Needle The Adams Needle bush, Yucca filamentosa, has stiff evergreen rosettes and are part of the scene in hot dry Central and North American scrublands. Yuccas are hardier than they appear, and only fail in cold exposed inland positions, where they are better grown as container plants. Otherwise they are handsome architectural foliage plants for dry, sunny borders. This variety has a white edge. Yucca filamentosa makes dense clumps of stiff leaves 30 inches or so long and edged with fine curly hairs. The remarkable flower-spikes, 6' or more high, appear when plants are five or more years old.
