Abelia 'Canyon Creek' - Glossy Abelia |
| We love Abelia for its glossy, semi-evergreen foliage as well as for its small lightly fragrant flowers, which seem to bloom practically forever. 'Canyon Creek' is a beautiful new Abelia from Michael Dirr. The foliage is a lovely golden yellow, and it's enhanced by new leaves which emerge coppery pink, a colorful highlight all summer. Fragrant pinkish white flowers appear off and on all summer and into fall. Reaches about 6 feet. Most Abelias prosper in full sun or part shade in well-drained, acid soil. Z. 6-9 |

Abelia mosanensis - Mangsan Abelia |
| New to us and quite different from other Abelias, this deciduous species is also hardier than other Abelias, giving folks in the North a chance to see what all the fuss is about. Wonderfully fragrant pink tubular flowers appear in May and June, and the foliage colors orange-red in fall before dropping. A medium-sized shrub to 5-6 feet which grows well in full sun or part shade. Z. 5-9 |

Acer griseum - Paperbark Maple |
| A small Maple with remarkably beautiful cinnamon-colored bark that peels in thin papery sheets so that the trunk and branches are always decorated with curls of colorful separating bark. This exfoliation begins even on young trees so that the Paperbark Maple immediately displays a venerable air. The leaves, which occur in groups of three, often color a vibrant red and orange in fall and cast only light shade. This airiness and the tree's slow rate of growth to 20-30 feet make it an outstanding choice for planting near a patio or along a walkway. It is quite shade tolerant and, in fact, benefits from afternoon shade in hot-summer areas. Pennsylvania Horticultural Society Gold Medal. Z. 5-8 |

| An unusual new Japanese Maple with leaves variegated in various shades of purple, especially around the edges. We have also noticed that the dark green veins are particularly prominent after the heat of summer has toned down the spring variegation.

Acer palmatum 'O Kagami' - Japanese Maple |
| O in Japanese is an honorific, and after catching a glimpse of this Japanese Maple, you'll know why it is so addressed. The spring foliage is a purplish red and matures to a polished black-red which holds well into summer, when green tones start to blend in. In fall you can enjoy scarlets and reds before the leaves drop. The radiating leaves resemble fully-extended fans. Matures at about 12-15 feet. Z. 5-8 |

| A slow-growing, upright Japanese Maple, 'Pixie' is clothed in dense deep red foliage, and the maroon color holds up well in summer heat, with brilliant fall coloring.

Some gardeners prune back this Maple every spring to stimulate vigorous new growth, which has the most brightly colored bark; others, less daring, allow it to develop as an upright-growing tree to 18 feet.
