Spiraea japonica 'Little Princess'

[Little Princess Spirea]

Grows larger and faster than species

Symphoricarpos albus

[Common Snowberry]

Useful as a bank cover or large scale groundcover. Transplants well. This plant has a beautiful fruit show and is shade tolerant, however, it is also a twiggy, "garbage can plant" (collects leaves and blowing debris); this quality (especially prominent in the fall and winter) limits its usability in the landscape.

Symphoricarpos orbiculatus

[Coralberry]

Tilia tomentosa ‘Sterling’

[Sterling Linden]

Tilia tomentosa 'Sterling' shows some resistance to Japanese beetle.

Toxicodendron radicans

[Poison Ivy]

Do not touch any part of a poison ivy plant. All parts of the plant contain volatile oils that can cause significant skin irritation on direct or indirect contact. Eliminate plants with herbicides.
