Native Trees and ShrubsButtonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis)6 ft – 8 ft shrub. Unusual spherical white flower clusters decorate this open rounded shrub in July and August. Tolerates light shade. Requires rich moist soil

Chokeberry, Black (Aronia melanocarpa)3 ft – 6 ft shrub. Clusters of small white or pink-tinged flowers develop into glossy purplish-black fruit that many birds enjoy. May be trained as a hedge. Dark green leaves turn wine-red in the fall.

Dogwood, Gray (Cornus racemosa)6 ft shrub. White blooms appear in early summer. In late summer, bears striking white berries on red-purple fruit stalks. Grey Dogwood makes a good informal hedge and provides food for birds. Very adaptable, does best in full sun to light shade in moist to somewhat dry conditions.

Dogwood, Pagoda (Cornus alternifolia)15 ft – 20 ft shrub or small tree. Attractive all through the year: lovely horizontal branches, white flowers in spring, blue-black berries in late summer, and red-maroon leaves in the fall. Grows well in shade or morning sun. Medium to moist soil.

Dogwood, Red-Osier (Cornus stolonifera)6 ft – 8 ft shrub. Most noteworthy characteristic is its red stems, which are spectacular in the winter landscape. White flowers in May and June, white fruit in late summer, and maroon leaves in fall. Can be used as a hedge. Prefers full sun and moist soil.

Elderberry, American (Sambucus canadensis)8 ft – 12 ft shrub. Spectacular early-summer flowers and plentiful dark berries that attract songbirds. Flowers and berries are edible. Makes an excellent shrub border. Sun or part shade, medium to moist soil.

Hazelnut, American (Corylus americana)8 ft shrub. Dense, many-stemmed shrub. Wildlife love the nuts. Excellent red, yellow, and orange fall color. Prefers a sunny to lightly shaded spot.

Honeysuckle, Dwarf Bush (Diervilla lonicera)2 ft – 3 ft shrub. Bell-shaped yellow flowers attract butterflies, bumblebees, and hummingbirds. Arching stems reach 2 – 3 ft. Makes nice mass plantings because of its short height and quick growth. Spreads by underground stems. Hardy and adaptable, tolerates variety of soils. Prefers light shade.

Honeysuckle, Yellow (Lonicera prolifera)4 ft – 5 ft shrub or vine. A native honeysuckle that produces yellow blooms in May, followed by red fruit in August. Half to full day of sun. Spreads by runners in normal garden soil.

Ironwood (Ostrya virginiana)20 ft – 30 ft tree. Superb small tree for landscaping. Tolerant of shade and average to dry soil. Retains its yellow leaves into winter, adding subtle sound and color to the winter landscape. Shaggy gray bark. Fruit looks like hops.

New Jersey Tea (Ceanothus americanus)2 ft – 3 ft shrub. Puffs of white flowers in July are quite pretty, and attract diverse insects in mid-summer.

Small round shrub of prairies and savannas. Tolerant of light shade.

Ninebark (Physocarpus opulifolius)8 ft – 10 ft shrub. Very hardy. Peeling bark is lovely in

winter, revealing cinnamon brown inner bark. Pink to white flowers in flat clusters in June.

Oak, Bur (Quercus macrocarpa)70 ft – 80 ft tree. A signature tree of southern Wisconsin. Deeply furrowed bark and massive branches create a dramatic winter landscape. Needs full sun and prefers heavier soils. Grows as much as 30 inches a year once established.

Plum, American (Prunus americana)15 ft – 20 ft tree. Fragrant white flowers in April and May followed by edible fruit in summer. Leaves turn maroon in fall. Sun or part shade.

Rose, Prairie (Rosa carolina)1 ft – 3 ft shrub. Showy pink 5-petaled flowers appear in late May and occasionally throughout the summer. Fruit (rose hips) appears in late summer and fall, and may persist through the winter. Spreads underground.

Viburnum, Highbush Cranberry (Viburnum trilobum)8 ft –12 ft shrub. Large flat clusters of flowers are showy in May. Scarlet berries provide winter food for birds. Wonderful fall color. Full sun to light shade.

Viburnum, Nannyberry (Viburnum lentago)15 ft – 20 ft shrub. Clusters of white flowers in May. Blue-black fruits and wonderful red foliage in the fall. Tolerates a wide variety of light and moisture conditions.

Winterberry (Ilex verticillata)9 ft – 12 ft shrub. Showy red berries in the fall. Requires moist garden soil and full sun. Important: Both male and female shrubs are necessary for fruit production. We will have both on hand.

Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana)10 ft – 15 ft shrub. Fragrant yellow flowers and foliage in the fall. The blooms persist after the leaves fall. Grows well in shade or sun.

We thank all our growers, especially those who sponsor our event!

“No Mow” Lawn. Pennsylvania Sedge is an ideal groundcover for planting under deciduous trees. Its clumps of grass-like leaves will spread to form a carpet. Since it only grows to 6 or 8 inches tall, this lawn does not need to be mowed, though it can be mowed a couple times a year if you wish to tidy it up. Pennsylvania Sedge will grow well in average to dry soil, in sun or shade. It tolerates light foot traffi c. 32 Pennsylvania Sedge plants. Space plants 6” to 12” apart.
