    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Long wands of rich lavender-purple scentless flowers provide a vivid spring show before the leaves appear. This fabulous and low-maintenance 3-4'shrub thrives on sun and heat making it a perfect choice for rock garden, border or container. The grey-green leaves are nice in summer and they turn a soft-buttery-yellow in autumn. S/M/GDr

    Rarely offered, this lovely deciduous shrub covers itself with lovely lavender flowers in April. Called the ‘lilac daphne’. This plant is a showstopper each spring.
