Instead of ringing in the new year with champagne and balloons, why not treat yourself to a few new plants that you can enjoy through the growing season? There are a lot of interesting tree and shrub introductions to get excited about this year.
Eclipse® bigleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla)You can’t miss the stunning deep purple, almost black, leaves of this new bigleaf hydrangea. We liked how well Eclipse held onto its dark color all summer in sun and part shade. Raspberry pink blooms show up in summer and repeat until frost, fading to green and then brown papery flowerheads you can leave standing for winter interest. This beautiful shrub is great as a focal point. Or grow several together to create a hedge with three-season drama.
