Verdoni Falsecypress - 4" square pot $18
This is a lovely little conifer to add a bright accent to a sunny spot in your garden. Chamaecyparis obtusa ’Verdoni’ grows to between 3 & 8 feet tall by up to 3 feet wide, slowly. All references we have seen agree with our personal observation at the nursery, that it does not burn even in full sun. It is evergreen needing well-drained soil. The growth is somewhat contorted in a compact way. Zones 5 - 8. Larger sizes available at the nursery.
Winter Gold Paperbush - trade gallon $21.95
An excellent winter blooming shrub with fragrant, soft yellow flowers in February, Edgeworthia chrysantha ’Winter Gold’ has clean, bluish-green foliage as well. Rare and treasured, it wants good soil and consistent moisture and winter protection. Deciduous, to about 6’ for zones 7-8 in light shade. Gosh, this is a great plant. Chosen by SC nurseryman Ted Stephens as the most vigorous of many seedlings he trialed. If you live within its limited range, you should have it. The fragrance in February is fabulous.

Mahonia x media 'Winter Sun' 

Sorry to say we are currently sold out of all Mahonias ('Charity', 'Lionel Fortescue' & 'Winter Sun')
