Melody Aster Also in bloom are the Caryopteris. We have both Dark Knight and Blue Mist in stock. They look great!

Dark Knight Caryopteris

Japanese White Pine

Japanese White Pine (Pinus parviflora 'Glauca') is one of the interesting and fun ornamental conifers we have in stock here at the nursery. A very slow growing tree, Japanese White Pine has somewhat of a "Charlie Brown Christmas Tree" look in youth, but it fills out more each year. A great tree for an accent plant in the landscape. The needles are a nice combination of blue, green & silver (see photo below) and it has a heavy cone-set even as a young tree.


We have them in 3-4' & 4-5' here at KAT.

Clethra is just finishing up it's bloom, but is worth a mention due to it's wonderful fragrance. A great shrub that can stand some shade and brighten up the summer garden, Ruby Spice has pink blooms that will fade out to white. We also carry Hummingbird & White Dove Clethra.

Pink Double Knock Out is available in #2.

Carefree Celebration is a larger shrub rose from the breeder of the Knock Out series. It has the same disease resistance and has the purplish new growth as the Knock Outs. The coral to orange flowers are a beautiful contrast to the foliage and many other landscape plants.

Just for fun........
