Shrub Viburnum farreri 'Nanum' [Nanum Fragrant Viburnum] Relatively small habit, up to 5' and rounded, it produces small panicles of pink flowers in spring. A dense, compact plant, 3 1/2' high and wide. Foliage is similar to the species but smaller. Shrub has an overal appearance of bronze-green. Some winter protection promotes best growth. Early flowering in spring is sometimes followed by a later frost/freeze that kills back the flowers and inhibits leaf growth.
Shrub Viburnum × juddii [Judd Viburnum] The Judd Viburnum is a hybrid of Viburnum carlesii (Koreanspice Viburnum) and V. bitchiuense (Bitchiu Viburnum), and is considered a better choice for the landscape than both parent species. Very fragrant when in bloom. V. juddii has good resistance towards bacterial leaf spot, unlike V. carlesii. Prune immediately after flowering for best flower show the next year.
Shrub Viburnum × 'Oneida' [Oneida Viburnum] 'Oneida' is a hybrid most similar to its Viburnum dilatatum (Linden Viburnum) parent. This plant is known for profuse flower show in May, followed by continued, albeit sporadic, blooming through summer, and abundant fruits that persist into winter. Wide spreading branches. One of the best viburnums for showy fruits. A different clone as a pollinator helps produce a more abundant fruit set. Borers can sometimes be a problem. Relatively trouble-free.
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 [Adam's Needle Yucca] Swordlike foliage gives this species the appearance of a desert plant, and it does tolerate dry soil well. Flower spikes bring overall plant height to over 6'. Best used in mass plantings. Doesn't like wet soils.
Shrub Yucca filamentosa 'Bright Edge' [Variegated Adam's Needle Yucca] As the name implies, 'Bright Edge' has leaves edged with yellow variegation. The swordlike foliage gives this species the appearance of a desert plant, and it does tolerate dry soil well. Flower spikes bring overall plant height to over 6'. Best used in mass plantings. Doesn't like wet soils.
Shrub Yucca flaccida [Weakleaf Yucca] Closely related to the more common Yucca filamentosa (Adam's-needle Yucca), with the primary difference being its overall smaller size. Swordlike foliage gives this species the appearance of a desert plant, and it does tolerate dry soil well. Flower spikes bring overall plant height to over 6'. Best used in mass plantings. Doesn't like wet soils.
Shrub Yucca sp. [Yucca] The Yucca genus is comprised of evergreen shrubs and trees with bold, sword-like leaves borne in rosettes, and large, showy flower panicles.
