The Pheasant Berry, 'Leycesteria 'Golden Lanterns', a Proven Winners selection, is a great additin to the perennial border. Leycesteria is an easy to grow plant that provides lots of color. Golden Lanterns' sunny yellow foliage has reddish new growth and the dark purple brachts make it even more colorful. Pheasant Berry gets its common name from the fruit it bears. Pheasants and wildlife love the berries it produces. In the north this shrub will die back each winter. Use a lot of mulch in colder climates. ... additional information
Forsythia - Spectabilis The Spectabilis Forsythis, Forsythia x intermedia, is a showy border Forsythia that transplants readily. Tolerates a wide range of soil and light conditions, but prefers full sun. Allow plenty of room for plant to spread. Profuse, yellow, spring flowers are followed by medium green summer foliage. `Spectabilis' (Showy Border Forsythia) is the most common forsythia. The profuse, yellow flowers of forsythia are considered by many to be the first sure sign of spring. Flowers will last for two or three weeks unless killed by cold. Often used to control erosion on steep slopes because tips of branches root naturally and plants spread easily. Prune in spring after flowering so that buds for the next year can develop in the fall. |
