Shrub/Tree Indiana Native Viburnum prunifolium [Blackhaw Viburnum] Widely tolerant of different soils and exposures. Transplants well. Relatively trouble-free. Can be pruned to form a nice hedge. Scale and borers are occasional problems. The edible fruits are sweet and can be eaten fresh, or used in jams and preserves.
Shrub Viburnum setigerum [Tea Viburnum] The Tea Viburnum is most noted for its truly outstanding fruit display. In autumn, branches are heavily laden with large clusters of striking bright red oval berries. For optimal fruit production, plant in groups. Can be quite open and leggy; it is advisable to plant other, shorter, plants in front of the Tea Viburnum. Gained its common name from the fact that the leaves were once used to make tea.

Shrub Yucca filamentosa 'Bright Edge' [Variegated Adam's Needle Yucca] As the name implies, 'Bright Edge' has leaves edged with yellow variegation.
