Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Dense growing small blue-green leaves are covered with pale violet flowers each spring. A favorite among gardeners and professional landscapers alike for its tidy appearance and dense growth habit.
Compact evergreen shrub with purple flowers held in clusters. The flowers bloom early midseason. May grow taller when planted in the shade. Growth Rate medium
Plentiful pale violet flowers dance amid this bushy blue-green mat of leaves. At Greer Gardens we have all become fond of 'Ramapo' for its pleasing foliage color changes throughout the year, especially favored are the dusty blue new leaves following a shot of growth. This hardy dwarf can be grown in sun or partial shade, although in full sun it will maintain a more compact form. It is well suited for use in a low border or rock garden. Outstanding! (fastigiatum x carolinianum)
