We love Cistus populifolius for it's big, beautiful red buds that adorn it's handsome foliage all winter. The unique apple green foliage has decorative rippled margins and comprises dense hearty mounds, creating a luxurious backdrop for its yellow-centered white flowers. Big red-hued buds appear in late winter and look stunning with the verdant leaves and springtime tissue-thin blooms.
This diverse genus includes approximately 2000 species! Some of our Euphorbias enliven the fall landscape with vibrant red, orange and yellow foliage while others remain evergreen, lending welcome year-round interest. Best of all, many are adorned with acid-green and chartreuse blooms in late winter and early spring, when few other plants are flowering. Appreciative of well-drained soil, Euphorbias are easily grown and their blooms make unique additions to cut arrangements. Be sure to check out our various online offerings!
As November comes to an end, a quieter mood prevails in our gardens. Many perennials are either dormant or getting ready for their winter’s rest. Though, some of the more stalwart ones, especially those that are located in protected spots still exhibit a foliar presence and a handful of flowers. The blades and dried buff or silver-hued inflorescences of quite a few ornamental grasses thankfully remain standing, providing movement and delightful rustling sounds. Many deciduous and evergreen shrubs continue to hold our interest either with fall color, artful bark and branching patterns or year-round foliage. The plants featured in this newsletter caught my eye during one of my walks through the nursery and garden this past week. All of us plant wranglers at Digging Dog hope you had a wonderful holiday with family and friends, and perhaps found some time to enjoy your garden.
Happy Digging!
