Dogwood - Snow Lace® Gray
Snow Lace® Gray Dogwood, Cornus racemosa 'Emerald', displays white flowers in spring, with rosy-pink berries in fall which creates a nice contrast to the silvery-gray bark. Its superior emerald-green semi-glossy foliage develops purple fall color. Snow Lace® Gray Dogwood's ability to spread makes it ideal for banks and slopes since it has a very dense form. It grows somewhat slower than is typical of the species, averaging six inches a year. Its habit is distinctly mound-like to rounded growth and gradually reaches a height of seven to nine feet. The colorful rosy-pink pedicels contrasting with its silvery-gray stems, combine to produce an attractive landscape shrub. ... additional info
Willow - Japanese The Japanese Willow has 4 season interest. In the spring, before it leafs out, it produces hundreds of slender catkins that contrast brilliantly against the deep red stems. Then you see the pink summer foliage and in the fall and winter the striking red stems. You may prune the plant back for another flush of pink foliage later in the season. Regular pruning will promote a denser and bushier plant. Great as a container plant.
