Acer × freemanii 'Celzam' [sold as Celebration®]

[Celebration Freeman Maple]

'Celzam' has a classic upright form with uniform growth, making for a great specimen tree in the landscape. This plant, like most Freeman hybrids, is generally seedless and is also known for its fall color. In early October, 'Celzam' becomes a brilliant red and then slowly changes to gold by late October.

Acer × freemanii 'Marmo'

[Marmo Freeman Maple]

The Marmo Maple has similar characteristics to its Silver Maple parent, more so than to its Red Maple parent. This cultivar produces staminate flowers, and therefore is seedless. 'Marmo' fall color ranges from reds to greens. Once established, it becomes tolerant to most pests and disease.

Acer × freemanii 'Scarsen' [sold as Scarlet Sentinel®]

[Scarlet Sentinel Freeman Maple]

This cultivar is a cross between the Red Maple and the Silver Maple, though it's leaves and bark more closely resemble the Silver Maple. It is one of the most adapted maples for southern regions of the country. 'Scarsen' is known for its colorful yellow-orange to orange-red fall foliage and columnar growth form.

Acorus calamus 'Variegatus'

[Variegated Sweet Flag]

A small herbaceous perennial that does best in full sun to part shade. The variegated cultivar has leaf blades that are striped white and green.

Aesculus parviflora

[Bottlebrush Buckeye]

Can be kept at a smaller size for a time with careful pruning, but it will in time occupy much space. Tolerates some shade, and can even be attractive under large shade trees. Suckers quite freely.

Akebia quinata

[Fiveleaf Akebia]

Fiveleaf Akebia is a vigorous vine that establishes quickly under many different conditions, even to the point of invading an area. Prune to keep this plant within its boundaries. Best used to climb up structures, but can also be used as a sprawling groundcover. Although generally deciduous, Akebia quinata can be evergreen in the south.

Alnus incana ssp. rugosa

[Speckled Alder]

Alnus serrulata

[Hazel Alder]

Closely related to Alnus rugosa, differing chiefly in its leaves, which are usually broadest above the middle and have the margins set with fine, nearly regular teeth. Multi-stemmed habit and tends to sucker.

Amelanchier canadensis

[Shadblow Serviceberry]

Amelanchier canadensis, the Shadblow Serviceberry, tends to be confused with Amelanchier arborea, the Downy Serviceberry, and Amelanchier laevis, the Allegheny Serviceberry. However, A. canadensis, compared to A. arborea and A. laevis, is generally much more shrub-like (often forming thickets), flowers a week later, and produces upright flower clusters (as opposed to the pendulous racemes of A. arborea and A. laevis). The Shadblow Serviceberry is excellent for woodland plantings, naturalizing, and along stream and pond banks.…
