From YouTube: Bloomington Home Improvement Fair: Hardy & Easy Plants for the Home Landscape - CHW Landscape Design
Description
Many people take pride in landscaping their homes. In this seminar, Cathy Waldhauser presents a myriad of plants that work well in the Minnesota climate.
A
A
I'm
Kathy,
waldhauser
and
I
have
a
landscape,
design,
business,
chw,
landscape
design.
You
can
see
on
the
slide
and
I
also
work
with,
but
not
for
McKay
nursery.
They
are
a
grower
they're
based
in
Wisconsin.
They
don't
operate
garden,
centers
or
anything
like
that,
but
they
do
deliver
plants
direct
and
sell
them
direct
to
my
clients.
A
So
a
lot
of
the
information
that
I
have
today
is
coming
from
them,
I
like
to
use
them
because,
as
the
title
says,
Hardy
and
easy,
that's
what
they
specialize
in
and
that's
the
type
of
landscaping
that
I
specialize
in
as
well,
so
that
works
well
for
me
and
as
if
you
have
been
going
to
some
of
the
other
vendors
today
or
seminars,
most
of
them
I
think
are
about
remodeling
and
when
you
remodel,
you
always
figure
out.
Okay.
How
am
I
going
to
use
my
house?
A
How
am
I
going
to
use
the
spaces
in
it?
How
do
I
want
them
to
work
for
me
and
my
family?
And
yes,
also?
What
color
do
I
want
the
couch
to
be
and
all
of
those
things,
but
that's
secondary
and
landscaping
is
the
same
way.
How
are
you
going
to
use
your
yard?
What
is
what
types
of
materials
and
plants
are
going
to
make
it
as
useful
as
possible?
A
A
So
today,
most
of
what
I'll
have
in
my
presentation
is
pictures
of
plants.
I've
picked
these
plants
because
they
are
Hardy
they're
geared
for
our
zone,
which
is
zoned
for
if
you
know
anything
about
temperature
zones,
plants
have
to
survive
down
to
25,
30
degrees
below
Fahrenheit,
and
these
will
last
winter
we
got
some
surprises.
We
all
thought
it
was
warmer
in
Minnesota.
Well,
it's
not
all
the
time
they're
Hardy,
they
are
also
relatively
disease.
Free
and
I.
Think
that's
go
to
my
next
slide.
Oh.
A
Okay,
there
we
go
so
they're
acclimated
to
our
winters.
If
they're
put
in
the
right
place
and
they're
the
right
size
so
they're
not
overly
crowded,
they
have
the
right
amount
of
wind,
Sun,
etc
and
water
they
will
be
harder
than
if
they
don't
have
those
things.
The
right
the
wrong
plant
in
the
wrong
place
is
not
going
to
do
as
well,
and
I
like
to
use
plants
that
are
relatively
long
lived,
so
you're
not
having
to
replace
them,
especially
if
it's
a
tree
less.
A
Okay,
I
started
with
what
what
are
you
doing
when
you
landscaping
the
analogy
to
to
remodeling
or
building
a
home
plants,
have
a
purpose
in
the
landscape
just
like
a
walk
or
a
driveway
or
a
patio
on
they
have
purposes.
In
addition
to
being
pretty
to
look
at
that's
what
we
all
want
at
the
end
of
the
day,
but
they
have
other
purposes
as
well.
They
can
frame
a
space
overhead
as
well
as
the
sides
and
the
ground
they
can.
A
They
can
form
the
walls
of
your
outdoor
room
in
the
ceiling
of
your
outdoor
room.
If
you
want
that,
they
can
also
block
or
mask
noise
and
wind
and
views
that
you
don't
want
in
or
out
of
your
space
plants
are
very
good
for
that,
and
sometimes
a
cheaper
way
to
do
it
then,
and
prettier
than
a
fence
or
a
big
wall.
A
They
can
stabilize
slopes.
If
you
have
lots
of
slope
areas
here,
particularly
close
to
the
river,
you
have
slopes
in
your
yard,
hard
to
maintain.
You
have
runt
water,
runoff
and
or
soil
runoff.
It's
good
to
have
the
soil
covered
with
plants
or
a
mulch
type
ground
cover
something
that
keeps
water
from
running
off
and
keeps
the
Sun
from
baking
it.
We
also
use
plants
for
just
their
beauty
and
their
beauty
comes
from
a
couple
of
sources.
A
One
is
the
shape
of
the
plant,
many
people
who
do
their
shopping
based
on
the
flower,
that
they
see
the
picture
of
or
the
flower.
That's
in
that
on
that
plant
in
that
little
bitty
pot
in
the
garden
center
have
no
clue
what
it's
going
to
look
like
when
it
gets
big
and
then
they
don't
like
it.
They
liked
the
flower,
but
they
don't
like
anything
else
about
it.
The
texture
of
the
plants
is
it.
Fine,
textured
is
a
course
big
leaves
small
leaves
that
adds
interest.
A
Ok,
so
the
different
purposes
now
I'm
going
to
run
through
and
if
you
did,
everyone
get
pick
up
a
handout
on
the
way
in
you
didn't
I'll,
just
pass
a
few,
you
don't
have
to
take
notes
or
remember
stuff.
This
doesn't
totally
correspond
to
the
presentation,
but
you
can
refer
to
it
later.
If
you
wanted
to
say
what
was
that
or
what
was
in
that
list?
A
Everybody
in
Minnesota
has
got
to
have
one
red
or
orange
maple
tree.
One
is
enough,
especially
in
an
urban
environment
where
a
lot
of
them
are
going
to
be
susceptible
to
disease.
If
something
comes
into
the
area
like
Dutch
elm
disease,
that
is
transmissible
from
plant
to
plant,
you
know
it
was
elm
trees.
Then
it
was
ash
trees
and
the
next
one
is
probably
going
to
be
Naples
because
we
have
planted
so
many
of
them.
So
I
do
have
a
couple
of
maples
in
here,
but
I've
avoided
them
the
Turkish
hazelnut.
A
Why
don't
you
give
you
an
idea?
What
do
these
things?
Look
like
a
nice
shade
tree,
and
you
can't
see
it
very
well
in
the
picture,
but
very
lovely
corrugate
sort
of
corrugated
serrated
leaves
this.
One
is
very
drought:
tolerant
does
not
require
irrigation.
That's
another
thing
to
go
for
is
things
that
I
can
require
a
lot
of
extra
water,
really
really
tough
city
tree
and
a
nice
shade
tree
next
one
is
a
hackberry.
You
probably
are
familiar
with
these.
A
They
were
the
first
tree
to
be
used
in
the
Twin
Cities
to
replace
our
Elms,
because
it
has
a
very
similar,
canopy
and
light
quality.
The
light
quality
of
a
big
tree
is
to
me
the
most
important
thing
when
I
pick
a
tree,
because
when
you
go
out
into
the
woods
or
in
nature,
what's
fascinating,
you
is
the
way
the
light
comes
through
the
leaves
or
doesn't
come
through
the
leaves,
depending
on
what
kind
of
environment
you
want
on.
The
hackberry
is
kind
of
that.
A
Oops
this
is
not
okay,
this
one
is
a
Linden.
It's
an
old-fashioned
big
Redman,
linden
and
I.
Put
this
one
in
here.
It
has
that
classic
lindo
in
shape
little
pyramid.
So
it's
more
formal
looking
that
a
lot
of
other
trees
provides
dense
shade.
If
that's
what
you
want-
and
it
also
is
a
great
supply
of
pollen
in
the
early
part
of
the
year
for
those
early
beads,
there
are
many
trees
and
shrubs
that
are
necessary
to
feed
need
pollinators
before
our
flowers
come
out
and
trees
are
one
of
their
sources.
A
Other
trees
will
provide
grubs
or
caterpillars
moth
caterpillars
little
caterpillars
that
feed
the
birds
when
they're
trying
to
build
a
nest
and
feed
their
young
because
they
haven't
got
other
things
to
eat.
Yet
they
don't
have
seeds
in
the
garden,
but
they
have
those
they're,
young
or
fed
off
of
caterpillars,
so
trees
you
can
think
of.
A
Trees
is
very
important
when
you
want
to
support
wildlife
in
your
yard
and
the
big
leaf
Linden
I
put
in
here
rather
than
the
little
leaf,
that's
very
popular,
because
the
little
leaf
Linden's
have
been
attacked
pretty
hard
by
asian
beetles.
The
big
leaf
Linden's
are
resistant
and
there
are
McKay
the
nursery
that
I
work
with,
has
a
cultivar
of
this
that
they've
developed.
It
is
narrower
for
smaller
Lots
and
it's
the
same
look,
but
it's
not
as
broad
okay,.
A
Okays
swamp
white
oak,
you
probably
are
seeing
a
number
of
these
cities,
in
particular,
have
been
using
them
to
replace
the
old
Boulevard
trees,
because
they're
that
tough,
they
are
not
susceptible
to
oak
wilt
and
and
those
other
things
it
has
a
it's.
Basically,
it's
similar
to
the
Baroque,
but
very,
very
tolerant
of
almost
any
site
conditions,
very
low
maintenance,
and
it
still
has
oak
leaves
it
has
that
oak
bark.
A
A
These
are
also
becoming
more
common.
It's
a
rugged
tree
has
very
interesting
furrowed
bark
that
your
regular
branching.
That
makes
it
interesting
when
the
leaves
are
off,
but
in
the
summertime
it's
covered
with
these
almost
tropical
compound
leaves
that
provide
a
very
nice
shade
canopy
in
the
winter,
when
those
drop,
because
compound
leaves
generally
grow
on
trees
with
sparse
branching
in
the
winter.
A
A
The
red
oaks
are
the
ones
that
are
fairly
susceptible
to
oak
wilt,
so
I
wouldn't
plant
a
red
oak
near
an
existing
stand
of
oak,
especially
not
red
oak,
but
planted
in
isolation,
because
oak
wilt
is
spread
through
route
graphs
through
the
soil
planted
in
isolation,
it
should
be
fine
and
they
just
they're
just
gorgeous,
and
this
is
the
fall
color.
That's
very
typical.
Those
leaves
stay
on
the
brown
as
they
turn
brown
they'll
stay
on
through
much
of
the
winter.
So
you
have
something
really
interesting.
A
Ok,
this
is
the
one
maple
I
think
I
put
in
here.
Red
sunset
is
an
example
of
a
red
maple.
There
are
many
cultivars
of
our
native
red
maple
and
they
are
beautiful.
They
are
not
as
dense
and
dark
is
a
lot
of
maple
trees
that
have
bigger
leaves
and
more
branching.
These
are
a
little
thinner,
so
I
like
them.
You
just
have
to
be
a
little
careful
about
where
you
put
them
they're,
not
as
as
forgiving
as
other
trees,
as
our
most
maples
accept
a
silver
maple
and
don't
plant.
A
Those
ok
just
coming
back
to
this
arm
to
remind
myself
where
I'm
at
ok,
the
next
one
is
privacy.
When
breaks
hey
common
one
arborvitae
see
in
the
back,
those
things
are
going
to
get
that's
a
dark
green
over
by
t
that
is
going
to
get
big
enough
to
cover
the
house
behind
this
garden
and
relatively
fast.
It's
fast-growing.
A
You
don't
put
them
out,
though,
where
they're
going
to
get
winter,
wind
and
Sun
that
desiccating
wind,
not
good
for
arborvitae.
This
is
a
small
one
that
you
can
put
more
in
a
patio
space
or
use
it
as
an
accent.
A
pretty
tough
little
tree
again,
I
wouldn't
put
it
in
the
northwest
corner
of
the
house,
but
this
will
go
most
places
and,
as
you
can
see,
they
grow
tightly.
You
don't
prune
these,
you
just
put
them
in
make
sure
they
get
enough
water
and
they're
fine.
A
That
one
was
a
home
stroke
if
I
didn't
say
that
a
third
one
Brandon
is
sort
of
in
between
the
dark
green,
which
is
giant
and
the
home
strip,
which
is
relatively
small.
The
home
strip
is
what
we
call
call
a
dwarf.
It
will
only
get
maybe
seven
feet
tall.
This
one
will
get
to
about
12
feet
tall,
but
it's
a
really
durable
one.
It
will
take
more
Sun
and
we
in
and
a
lot
of
other
arborvitae.
A
As
you
can
see
us
out,
it's
really
out
in
the
open
here
the
one
to
state
an
example
of
an
arbor
vitae
to
stay
away
from
is
emerald,
and
it
is
probably
the
most
commonly
sold
arborvitae
in
GART
in
at
least
the
big
box
garden
garden
centers.
Sometimes
they
will
be
okay
in
the
right
site,
but
you
really
have
to
be
careful
with
them.
They're
not
they're,
not
for
this
zone
and
our
weather.
A
Another
plant-
that's
great
for
screening,
especially
if
you
don't
have
a
big
big
space
in
which
to
do
it
is
operate.
Juniper
many
homeowners
kind
of
got
turned
off
on
junipers
because
they
bought
a
house
and
the
first
landscaping
that
was
done
in
the
50s
or
60s
was
all
junipers
across
the
front
of
the
house
and
I
go
in
and
I
meet
with
them
and
they
say
anything
but
a
Juniper
okay.
We
can
leave
them
out,
but
they
really
have
some
nice
things
to
recommend
them.
A
The
upright
ones
don't
take
a
lot
of
space,
they
add
another
texture
and
color
to
your
landscape,
they're
generally
grayish
or
bluish,
and
they're
they're,
durable,
more
durable
than
an
arborvitae.
Once
they
are
established,
you
do
not
need
to
water
them,
they
will
take
more
Sun
and
wind
than
an
arborvitae.
So
don't
discount
the
junipers.
True,
you
don't
want
to
go
up
and
touch
touchy-feely
them
because
they're
very
prickly,
you
don't
prune
them
anyway,
so
there's
no
need
to
touch
it.
A
Oh,
this
is
the
same
thing.
This
particular
one
is
called
star
power.
I.
Think
I
put
it
on
your
sheet,
which
is
a
little
unusual
for
a
Juniper
in
that
it's
fast-growing,
most
junipers
are
very
slow.
Many
of
us
are
more
concerned
either
because
of
age
or
how
long
we're
planning
to
be
in
the
house
that
we
get
to
enjoy
it
before
we
leave
and
this
one
grows
fast,
Black,
Hills,
spruce.
A
These
are
kind
of
small
ones,
they're
on
a
berm
planted
for
screening,
the
driveway
from
a
very
busy
dyin
house
from
a
very
busy
street
and
the
Black
Hills
spruce
are
the
best
of
the
spruce
that
will
grow
in
Minnesota
Colorado
sprues,
particularly
the
blue,
the
bluer
ones,
and
a
blue
just
happens
to
be
you
know
they
pick
the
ones
that
look
the
most
blue
but
they're.
All
Colorado's
first
are
not
doing
well
in
our
urban
environment.
They
don't
like
heat
and
humidity.
What
do
we
have
in
Minnesota
in
the
summer
heat
and
humidity?
They?
A
They
don't.
Don't
like
that
at
all,
so
they're
not
doing
well,
they
tend
to
decline
relatively
quickly
unless
you
really
are
babying
them,
giving
them
a
lot
at
irrigation.
A
lot
of
air
circulation
and
most
of
us
don't
have
the
space
to
do
that,
and
we
don't
want
to
be
watering
that
much
so
Black
Hills
is
the
tough
one
upright
or
call
another
columnar
plant
for
smaller
spaces
are
birch.
This
one
white
spire
can
be
grown
in
a
very
narrow
space.
A
If
you
want
something
like
that
for
screening,
you
plant
multiples
of
them
plant
a
little
Grove
or
plant
them
in
a
row.
They
don't
take
up
very
much
space
and
in
this
case
we
planted
them
because
they
have
to
really
almost
a
three-story
house
faces
West.
They
lost
all
their
trees,
/
shade
and
they're
a
little
bit
older.
So
they
didn't
want
to
wait
for
a
new
shade
tree
to
get
up
there.
A
A
That's
about
it,
but
these.
These
are
really
tough
they'll
tolerate
a
lot
of
different
situations,
and
that's
the
more
when
it's
by
itself,
you
can
kind
of
see
the
form
it
does
need.
Some
space
on
large
shrubs
can
also
be
used
to
screen
black
of
you
or
to
divine
a
space.
This
one
I
like
the
color
of
it,
and
it
is
Prue
nabol
to
a
hedge.
If
you
dont
have
space
for
this.
This
is
cotoneaster
and
I'm
probably
saying
that
wrong,
but
I
call
it
cotoneaster.
This
is
the
fall
color.
A
It
has
fruit
for
birds,
it
blooms
in
the
spring,
nothing
not
to
like
about
it.
It's
very
tough.
This
one
is
a
9
bark.
One
of
the
purple
9
barks.
This
is
large
enough
to
also
use
to
screen
a
view
or
break
up
a
view
or
define
a
space,
and
it
is
one
of
the
ones
that's
fairly
vertical
growing
too
nice
for
its
color.
It
looks
nice
in
the
winter,
always
pay
attention
when
you're
buying
a
shrub,
that's
in
kind
of
a
focal
point.
A
A
A
Black
Hills
or
a
Colorado
spruce,
and
so
these
are
kind
of
fun.
Japanese
lie
like
a
great
tough
tree
or
shrub.
This
one
is
being
grown
in
a
shrub
form
with
multiple
stems.
They
are
also
grown
as
a
tree
with
a
single
trunk
and
a
couple
of
things
to
recommend
it
very
durable
and
it
blooms
late.
This
will
be
blooming
in
June
when
all
your
other
blooming
shrubs
and
trees
are
done.
A
So
you
have
that
bloom
later,
it's
fragrant,
if
you're
allergic
to
or
whatever
to
lilac
fragrance,
probably
not
a
good
choice,
clothes
coat
where
you're
going
to
be
close
to
it,
but
it
really
is
stunning
and
those
dried
flower
heads
like
with
hydrangeas
will
stay
on
the
plant
in
the
fall
as
the
leaves
drop.
So
it's
a
little
it's
interesting
all
winter
to
to
have
that
on
there,
a
serviceberry
or
AA
milan
here,
depending
on
how
you
like
to
call
them.
This
is
what
they
look
like
in
the
spring.
This
is
a
tall
shrub.
A
They
are
also
grown
as
single
stem
trees,
very
nice
for
screening
a
little
bit
of
a
view,
but
without
adding
a
solid
wall
like
the
cotoneaster,
and
he
couldn't
see
anything
through
that
it
was
just
dense
or
an
arborvitae
is
dense
or
a
spruce
is
dense.
This
will
allow
a
little
bit
of
see
through
because
the
foliage
is
so
light
and
after
it
blooms
in
the
spring,
then
it's
a
green
plant.
It
has
fruit
for
birds
later
in
the
summer
and
it
has
a
gorgeous
red
leaf
in
the
fall.
So
very
interesting.
A
Okay,
one
of
our
most
popular
accent,
plants
and
Minnesota
landscapes
is
crab.
Apples
and
people
still
want
crab
apples.
You
can't
beat
them
when
they
bloom
in
the
spring.
Many
of
the
new
cultivars
now
have
been
bred
to
have
fruit,
whether
it's
yellow
orange
or
red,
or
a
purplish
fruit
that
stays
on
into
the
winter
and
the
birds
love
them.
A
Unfortunately,
squirrels
love
them
too,
but
if
you
have
that
fruit
hanging
out
in
the
winter,
it
adds
a
little
bit
of
pop
to
your
landscape,
and
this
one
is
one
of
the
darker
leaved
ones
so
wet
after
the
bloom
is
done.
It
will
also
add
color
to
your
landscape.
There
are
several
varieties
that
do
that,
and
then
there's
white
ones
and
very
they're
generally
either
pick
some
shade
of
pink
or
white
and.
A
This
is
a
another
hazelnut,
it's
a
young
one,
so
it's
not
very
representative
of
what
it's
going
to
look
like,
but
it
has
the
same
durability
and
sight,
tolerance
that
the
hazelnut
tree
has
only
it's
a
shrub
and
it's
purple.
This
one
is
called
purple
haze
would
love
to
have
one
was
Maya.
This
is
another
of
the
nine
barks
and
I
put
it
in
here
so
that
you
could
see
what
they
look
like
when
they
bloom
this
one
is
summer
wine.
It
was
the
next
one
that
was
bred
after
the
day.
A
I
blow
that
big
one.
This
is
shorter,
but
it's
super
wide,
so
don't
put
in
a
little
tiny
space
and
it's
kind
of
like
remember
the
old
bridal
wreath.
Spirea,
don't
know
if
anybody
does,
but
they
were,
you
know
they
cascaded.
They
were
arching
and
just
you
know
like
a
fountain.
This
has
the
same
characteristic
to
it.
So
that's
what
I
mean
when
you,
when
you
pick
a
plant,
pay
some
attention
to
the
shape,
because
that
can
be
as
pleasing
as
the
color
and
everything
else.
A
This
is
a
small,
relatively
small,
still
a
black
chokeberry.
We
are
seeing
these
planted
more
and
more
because
they
are
native,
they
will
feed
birds
and
they
have
lots
to
recommend
them
from
a
landscape
standpoint.
They
have
these.
These
dark
blueish
berries
that
come
on
midsummer
and
hold
on
to
a
winter.
When
the
birds
will
take
them
you
they
are
edible
with
a
lot
of
sugar,
a
lot
of
sugar.
A
That's
what
the
berries
look
like
and
in
the
fall,
though,
as
you
can
see
in
that
previous
photo,
if
they
do
turn
yellow
to
red
to
pink,
the
foliage
will
go
through
kind
of
that
that
morphing
I
pick
these
and
put
them
in
my
freezer,
and
they
go
in
my
green
smoothies.
It's
probably
the
highest
antioxidant.
Very
that
you
can
get.
You
can
grow
it
in
your
yard,
if
you're
into
that
sort
of
thing,
red
and
yellow
twig
dogwood,
there's
orange
twig
dogwood
baileys.
This
is
the
Bailey's
red
twig.
A
It
is
the
most
bold
red,
twig
dogwood,
bold
meaning.
The
stems
are
thick
enough
that
you
will
see
them
in
the
landscape.
They're
not
spindly,
like
a
lot
of
the
red
twigs
are,
and
these
like,
like
moisture,
they're,
pretty
tolerant
of
a
lot
of
sites,
but
you
can
put
them
in
a
moist
site.
They
do
need
space
you're
nuts.
There
are
some
dwarf
dogwoods
as
well.
A
Hydrangeas
all
the
rage,
I,
don't
know
nine
out
of
ten
people.
The
first
thing
out
of
their
mouth
is
I
want
hydrangeas.
They
are
pretty
go
back
to
this
one.
These
are
the
new
pink
varieties
where
they
have
different
shades
of
pink
on
the
flower
and
they
they
come
out
gradually.
This
one
is
pinky
Winky,
which
is
a
little
bit
smaller
one.
It's
only
six
feet
instead
of
eight
to
ten
feet,
and
there
are
others
like
that
too.
A
Pretty
stunning
in
the
landscape
and
the
flowers
will
stay
on
in
the
winter,
and
the
hydrangeas
do
need
quite
a
bit
of
Sun
to
look
like
this,
and
then
they
are
drought
in
Sun,
tolerant,
they're,
not
really
a
shade
plant.
We
see
them
in
shade
gardens,
but
they're
really
being
babied
along
when
they're
put
there.
This
is
another
one
called
Bobo:
they
keep
coming
out
with
smaller
and
smaller
ones.
They've
gone
from
ten
feet
down
to
six
feet
down
to
three
feet
and
for
some
reason,
as
they
get
smaller,
they
get
bigger
and
more
flowers.
A
It
just
seems
to
work
that
way.
So
this
is.
This
is
a
little
one
on
viber
nums
there's
a
hole.
There
are
so
many
viburnum
sand.
This
is
a
young
one,
but
it's
one
of
my
favorites
is
called
forest
Rouge
and
you'll
see
on
the
next
slide.
Why
it's
a
little
more
vertical
than
some
viburnum
blooms
in
the
spring,
so
pollinators
like
it
is
native.
This
is
a
cultivar
of
a
native
and
in
the
fall
this
one
does
this.
A
This
is
the
vibram
that
we're
probably
marcotte
more
familiar
with
it's
the
trial
obom
types
they
have
like
a
maple
leaf,
bigger
maple,
leaf,
really
pretty.
This
is
a
compact
form
of
that
the
hawse
and
this
one
blooms
in
the
spring
very
pretty.
If
it's
getting
enough
sunlight
and
these
have
the
stunning
clusters
of
red
fruit
in
the
fall.
When
you
see
if
I
burnham
in
the
fall,
you
can't
miss
it.
A
It
has
these
clusters
of
little
tiny,
red
red
berries
on
it,
that
the
birds
absolutely
love
and
they
most
of
them
do
have
nice
fall
color,
but
it
does
vary
by
by
cultivar
for
color,
barbary,
the
red
bar
berries,
the
gold
bar
berries
that
are
now
becoming
more
common
and
the
odd
colors
of
them
like
this.
One
is
Concord
a
purple
one
or
the
gold
ones
do
I.
Have
we
have
been
hearing
that
as
areas
get
warmer,
they
can
become
invasive.
They
can
seed
around
these
smaller
ones.
A
The
smaller
cultivars
in
the
odd
colors,
don't
usually
the
closer
something
is
to
the
native
plant,
the
more
prolific
it
is,
the
more
seed
it
produces
and
the
the
more
likely
that
seed
is
to
sprout,
but
as
they've
been
cultivated
for
these
other
characteristics,
they
lose
a
lot
of
that.
So,
if
you
hear
people
say,
oh,
don't
plant
barbary,
because
it's
an
in
vegas
on
the
invaders
invasive
plant
list.
Well,
some
areas
of
the
country
it
is,
but
if
you're
sticking
with
these
not
forsythia
an
old-fashioned
plant,
that
is
one
of
my
favorites.
A
It's
the
first
thing
to
bloom
in
the
spring
and
it's
tough,
it's
a
tough
plant.
This
is
a
low-growing
one
called
gold
tide.
You
can
tell
they're
kind
of
a
messy
looking
plant.
So
if
you
like
things
neater,
you
need
to
cut
them
back
on
a
regular
basis,
but
that's
not
that
hard
to
do
and
you
do
it
once
a
year
or
every
couple
of
years,
and
this
is
what
you'll
get
in
the
spring,
usually
in
April,
even
in
Minnesota.
A
This
is
another
forsythia.
This
one
is
called
citrus
squizzle
and
it's
very
gated,
so
it
has
gold
edges
on,
and
this
is
also
a
small
plant,
and
these
are
all
for.
City
are
all
a
little
bit
Shane
town
too,
which
makes
them
more
versatile
back
to
the
junipers
putting
in
another
plug
for
juniper.
This
one
is
called
gray
all
and
I
like
it
as
well
as
some
others,
because
it
has
a
graceful
form.
It
looks
softer
than
it
is
in
the
landscape,
as
opposed
to
spite.
A
A
Like
you
know
a
light
snow,
it
will
stick
on
those
flower
heads,
so
spirea
is
probably
the
most
versatile
small
shrub
and
that's
one
reason
it
is
so
common.
It
can
grow
in
a
lot
of
places
and
it
is
easy
easy
to
take
care
of.
This
is
a
wedgie
'la
and
lots
of
those
get
new
ones.
Every
year
it's
kind
of
like
hydrangeas
and
pastas
and
day
lilies
everybody's
got
to
come
up
with
a
new
we're
jeela
every
spring.
A
This
one
is
called
carnival
and
I
like
it,
because
the
flowers
look
like
little
orchids
to
me
that
just
kind
of
that
color
they
look
almost
tropical,
and
this
is
a
small
one
means
this
needs.
A
little
more
sheltered
site
can't
hardly
see
this
one
for
the
mulch,
but
this
one
is
one
of
the
dark
leaved
wachula's.
There
are
several
of
them.
Dark
Horse,
java
red
is
a
real,
durable
one.
A
It's
not
quite
this
dark,
but
it's
a
it's
a
little
tougher
than
this
one,
and
this
one
is
sonic
boom,
which
is
a
derivative
of
the
old
red
prints.
The
vigilia
you
see
in
the
middle
of
the
summer,
they're
just
covered
with
red
flowers
and
the
red
ones
are
the
only
ones
that
will
rebloom
not
like
the
first
time,
mostri
bloomers.
The
first
time
is
fabulous.
The
second
one
is
a
little
bit
wimpy,
but
it's
blooming
and
the
red
ones
will
do
that.
So
this
is
a
new
small
one.
A
You
don't
need
to
have
a
six-foot
shrub
in
the
earth
on
shrub
roses.
I
love,
you
know
the
roses
that
go
in
a
vase,
I'm
not
I'm,
not
patient
enough
to
grow
them
in
my
yard.
I'll
get
those
at
the
florist
shrub.
Roses
are
more
for
the
low
maintenance.
Folks
like
me
and
I,
like
the
ones
that
dependably
come
back
every
year.
There
are
many
shrub
roses,
there's
rated
zone
for,
but
there's
still
a
little
iffy.
A
Frankly,
those
are
the
ones
that
are
the
clothes.
Just
in
look
to
your
your
tea
roses
or
your
hybrid
roses.
If
it
kind
of
looks
like
that,
it's
one
of
the
more
delicate
shrub
roses
doesn't
mean
you
shouldn't
plant
it.
It
just
means
you
have
to
take.
You
have
to
baby
a
little
bit
and
occasionally
you're
going
to
lose
one
or
two
and
need
to
replace
them.
This
one
is
tough.
This
one
is
a
midland
and
it
grows
close
to
the
ground
and
it
blooms
red
like
this
most
of
the
summer.
A
It's
a
it's
a
recurring
bloomer
or
call
them
ever
blooming,
and
you
don't
have
to
spray
them
for
milled
powdery
mildew
and
you
don't
have
to
fertilize
them
heavily
on.
Like
you
do
other
types
of
roses,
you
don't
have
to
cover
them.
You
don't
have
to
tip
them.
Grasses
are
great
for
defining
a
space,
and
this
one,
which
is
a
variety
of
calamagrostis
Karl
Forrester,
is
one
of
those
Karl
Forrester,
as
common
as
it
is,
is
still
the
best
of
this
type
of
plant
because
they
come
up
early
in
the
spring.
A
These
are
what's
called
a
cool
season.
Grass
cool
season
grasses
come
up
early,
warm
season
grasses.
A
lot
of
the
fluffy
ones
with
the
pretty
seed,
heads
and
stuff
are
called
warm
season
grasses
and
they
don't
come
up.
You
don't
have
anything
until
June.
These
will
be
up
in
May
and
they
have
the
added
benefit
of
they
don't
take
a
lot
of
space,
but
in
the
winter,
because
they're
so
vertical,
the
snow
won't
usually
take
them
down.
Those
floppy
or
grasses
snow
falls
on
them
and
that's
it.
You
don't
have
them
anymore.
A
This
one
is
Prairie
drop,
seed
enlarged
a
little
bit
too
much
a
native.
So
if
you
want
to
have
grasses
that
are
more
native
to
the
area
that
will
support
pollinators,
this
is
a
good
one
to
plant
and
it
is
a
little
bit
more
shade,
tolerant
and
moisture
tolerant
than
other
ornamental
grasses.
Most
of
them
need
a
really
dry
well
drained
sunny
spot
very
drop
seed
is
a
little
bit
easier
to
go
with
and
I
think
it's
really
in
the
fall.
A
It's
just
this
stunning
gold,
gold,
color,
okay,
are
getting
into
some
things
that
are
more
perennial
here
catmint
this
one
is
Walker's
low,
there's
another
one,
I
think
that's
even
a
little
bit
smaller
now
blooms
blue
most
of
the
summer
until
you
have
frost
in
the
fall,
you
will
have
this
in
your
in
your
border
and
the
the
bees
and
butterflies
love
it.
The
native
catmint
spreads
like
wildfire.
A
A
Lady's
mantle,
an
old
perennial
nice
thing
for
the
front
of
the
border.
New
different
texture,
large
leaves
kind
of
like
a
hosta
takes
more
sun
than
hasta
and
the
leaves
are
kind
of
fuzzy.
So
they
have
this
matte
finish
to
them
when
it
rains
they'll
catch
they'll,
catch
raindrops
or
in
the
morning
they'll
catch
the
morning,
dew
and
they'll
kind
of
sparkle.
And
then,
when
they're
blooming,
you
have
this
lovely
chartreuse
bloom
on
them,
but
very
easy
maintenance.
A
Coral
bail,
another
good,
versatile,
perennial
for
most
Gardens.
These,
usually
most
of
them,
need
a
little
bit
of
shade.
A
hot
Sun
isn't
the
best
for
them.
Purple
Palace
likes
it
pretty
sunny,
but
most
of
them
need
a
little
bit
of
shade
and
the
blooms
can't
remember
which
one
this
is
I
should
look
at
this
one
is
called
timeless.
A
The
blooms
you
know
they're,
not
there
all
summer,
they
are
great
for
cutting
for
floral
arrangements.
Coral
bell,
so
I
kind
of
like
things
that
you
can
bring
in
the
house
when
you
want
to
this-
is
one
of
the
dark,
leaved
ones.
This
one
is
called
blackout.
It's
probably
the
darkest
of
the
coral
bells
for
people
who
are
into
that.
A
And
rudbeckia
the
black-eyed
Susan
easy
does
need.
Sun
will
take
a
little
bit
of
shade,
but
it
needs
it
needs
quite
a
bit
of
light
again.
These
butterflies
like
these
two
and
this
one
is
called
Deanie
I.
The
reason
I
put
this
one
in
here,
although
I
don't
know
you
could-
is
you'll
notice,
the
foliage,
the
foliage
on
gold
sturm,
the
one
that's
planted,
the
most
is
all
kind
of
down
at
the
bottom,
and
it's
really
pretty.
You
know
the
flowers
stand
up,
and
then
you
have.
These
big
leaves
down
around.
A
A
The
yellow
one
and
oh,
the
other
thing
about
bayit
eva,
is
the
plant
itself,
looks
like
a
bush,
and
it's
very
pretty
and
it's
kind
of
blue
so
that
get
this
blue
foliage
and
in
the
winter
the
seed
heads
form
pods
like
a
Lycan
like
an
iris,
does
like
a
Siberian
Iris
and
those
pods
stay
on
it
and
the
whole
plant
gets
very,
very
dark.
The
leaves
will
stick
on
they'll
get
dark
and
those
pods
will
stay
there.
Daylilies
can't
skip
over
day
lilies,
but
this
one
is
a
gee.
A
It
has
that
nice
strappy
foliage,
so
it's
good,
if
you
don't
have
other
strappy
things
around
it
in
your
landscape
and
but
they're
easy
they're,
movable,
they're,
dividable,
very
easy
to
grow,
and
if
you
plant
different
varieties
the
bloom
at
different
times,
you
can
have
daylilies
blooming
from
early
June
up
until
sep
tember.
It
just
won't
be
the
same
one
geraniums
an
easy
perennial
for
the
front
of
the
border
or
as
a
filler.
They
take
a
little
bit
of
shade.
A
A
It
has
been
bred
so
that
it
cannot
form
seed,
and
so
the
plant
keeps
saying
I've
got
a
breed,
I've
got
a
breed,
I've
got
a
breed
and
when
they
do
that
they
put
out
flowers,
and
so
this
thing
just
keeps
putting
out
flowers.
There
are
a
lot
of
other
dreams
that
don't
do
that
that
are
also
pretty
and
they
they
typically
the
foliage
goes
a
little
red
in
the
fall.
So
you
get
that
along
with
it
purple
aster
this
one
is
purple
dome.
Purple
dome
is
one
of
the
smaller
ones.
A
A
What
everything
else
is
finished
I
just
put
that
in
there,
because
I
didn't
get
a
picture
of
a
peony
and
peonies
aren't
for
everybody.
But
if
you
want
flowers
early
in
the
summer,
you
really
can't
beat
them
you're
not
going
to
get
that
big,
a
flower
any
any
other
way
early
in
the
summer,
lots
of
colors
and
they're
fun
to
put
in
vases
with
the
coral
bill
and
some
other
things
there.
A
Okay,
how
am
I
doing
on
time
because
I
haven't
been
watching
the
clock?
Okay,
we're
getting
down
there
on
other
things
to
think
about
are
besides
prettiness
and
the
space
that
it
defines
and
what
it's
doing
for
you.
That
way
are
these
things
we
mentioned
earlier
is
the
site
hot
windy?
Is
it
going
to
desiccate
that
plant?
You
know
if
it's
an
arborvitae,
for
instance,
is
it
too
shady
for
certain
things?
Is
it
too
wet
for
certain
things?
A
There
are
plants
for
all
of
these
sites,
but
you
need
to
start
with
the
site
and
then
pick
the
plant.
Don't
pick
all
your
plants
and
then
say
now
find
a
place
to
put
these
I'll
try,
but
sometimes
they're
just
not
going
to
go
so
so
Mac.
This
is
a
cut
leaf.
It's
a
little
bit
smaller
than
the
ones
you
see
growing
out
in
the
Prairie
or
on
the
roadside,
a
little
more
fun.
A
little
more
fine,
fine,
leaved,
stunning
fall
color
I.
Think
the
shape
of
them
is
really
interesting
when
the
leaves
fall
off.
A
If
you
have
a
contemporary
home,
these
can
be
a
nice
accent
piece
because
of
the
irregular
shape
that
they
have
this
one.
Now
this
is
a
whole
bunch
of
them.
I
didn't
get
a
good
single,
it's
called
hypercomm
or
st.
John's
wort,
also
great
for
hot
dry
sites,
and
it
does
bloom
and
it
blooms
at
the
end
of
the
summer,
which
is
kind
of
nice.
The
plant
itself
is
what
I
would
call
one
of
those
fine
rude
things:
it
has
almost
thread
leaf,
type
mute
leaves
and
they're
bluish,
it's
a
bluish
green.
A
So
if
you
have
other
things
nearby
like
bright,
green
Juniper's
or
something
like
that
in
a
hot
spot,
this
will
go
in
that
same
bed.
Take
the
same
conditions,
road,
wax
and
notice.
A
lot
of
things
that
grow
in
the
heat,
bloom,
yellow
just
displays
world
waxing
is
the
thing
with
the
yellow
all
over
it.
This
is
what
it
looks
like
at
the
beginning
of
the
summer
in
early
June
and
it's
a
it's
a
ground
cover
sort
of
a
shrub.
A
This
I
put
in
here
just
because
I
think,
is
an
interesting
plant,
Western
San
cherry
and
this
one
is
called
Pawnee
Butte
for
a
hot
slope,
something
weird
you
don't
want
to
grow
grass,
and
this
would
be
for
a
bigger
area.
You
wouldn't
put
this
in
a
small
landscape,
but
for
a
hot
slope
it
spreads.
This
is
what
it
looks
like
in
late
summer
and
fall
and
it
does
get
cherries
on
it.
A
Edible
cherries
won
the
permaculture
folks
I
went
to
one
of
their
classes
and
they
recommended
this
for
sites
with
a
lot
of
deer,
particularly
orchard
or
people
who
have
orchards
to
plant
this
a
little
ways
away
from
the
apple
trees,
because
the
deer
love
the
cherries.
So
this
is
deer
bait
so
plant
this
around
your
orchard.
The
deer
will
go
for
that.
They
won't
go
for
your
pebbles
I.
Think
it's
really
an
interesting
plant,
another
old
fashioned
one
for
hot
sites
potentilla
this
kind
of
like
the
junipers.
Everybody
goes.
Oh
no,
I!
A
Remember
those
in
the
right
spot.
You
know
give
them
some
consideration:
they're
durable,
they'll
grow.
You
know
almost
to
the
Arctic
Circle
they're
used
to
growing
in
rocky
soils.
You'll
see
these
sprouting
up
between
the
rocks
on
the
North
Shore,
this
a
little
plant
down
there
and
it's
a
little
potentilla
that
seat
it
in
there.
So
that's
how
tough
they
are
on
the
gold
ones
are
what
you
see
the
most
of
I
kind
of
like
the
white.
It's
something
different.
It
is
besides
roses.
A
A
If
you
want
this
bright,
pink
color,
you
want
to
keep
it
out
of
the
heat,
pinks
and
blues,
and
those
things
and
heat
don't
really
mix
they
bleach
out,
so
blue
old
grass,
something
that
we
plant
not
because
it's
a
native,
but
we
planted
because
it's
really
pretty
the
blue
color
and
the
fine
texture
needs
a
dry,
sunny
site.
No
extra
moisture
on
this
one-
and
this
is
a
personal
favorite
of
mine,
yucca,
filament,
ossa
or
adams.
Needle,
I
think,
is
the
Kottam
common
name.
You
can
see
it
looks.
A
It
looks
like
a
desert,
cactus
and
those
leaves
they
have
the
same
characteristic
as
iris,
which
is
kind
of
nice
in
the
garden.
You
have
these
spiky
things,
sticking
up
out
of
your
garden
and
you
have-
and
it's
actually
evergreen
those
are
there
year-round,
although
they
will
flop
a
bit
in
the
winter,
but
they're
there
year-round
and
then
it
gets
these
spectacular
shoots
of
blooms
in
the
summertime.
A
A
There's
yellow
there's
orange
they're
a
little
bit
tricky
to
get
established
once
they're
established
it's
a
good,
reliable
plan,
but
there
are
tricks
to
getting
them
owing
mainly
you
plant
it
the
year,
you
plant
it
don't
let
it
bloom
and
that's
true
of
a
lot
of
perennials
that
need
to
put
down
a
deep
root.
The
bloom
takes
too
much
energy.
The
plant
will
send
all
of
its
energy
up
to
those
flowers.
You
want
all
the
energy
on
these
things
to
start
down
into
the
ground,
so
just
clip
those
flowers
off
and
wait
a
year.
A
A
If
you
have
more
heat
and
drought,
the
rugosa
roses,
if
it
says
rugosa
and
the
name
that's
very
close
to
the
wild
rose
they're
not
often
picked
by
homeowners,
because
they
have
these
hairy-
stems
that
I've
really
aren't
very
attractive
and
the
foliage,
as
you
can
see,
isn't
the
glossy
dark
green
foliage,
it's
a
little
more
textured.
The
flowers
are
still
spectacular,
but
these
are
tough
shrub
roses
and
some
of
these
are
climbers.
Some
of
them
grow
to
be.
You
know,
six
eight
foot,
shrubs
the
smallest
ones,
are
probably
three
foot
of
this
type.
A
The
other
benefit
to
these
is
after
the
foliage
will
turn
to
a
fall.
Color
a
nice
fall
color
it'll
go
yellowish,
orange
ish
or
reddish
in
the
fall,
and
then
when
the
leaves
drop.
If
you
leave
the
last
balloons
on
and
don't
deadhead
them,
you
get
what
are
called
rose
hips
some
people
make
tea
out
of
them,
but
it's
a
little
ball
and
it's
orange
or
it's
red,
and
it's
really
pretty
for
as
long
as
it
holds
that
color.
A
This
is,
am
Sonia
not
too
many
people.
If
this
is
a
native
prairie
plant
and
I
love
the
blue
flowers-
and
this
is
a
small
one-
this
is
called
blue
ice.
There
are
also
three
foot
am
Sonia's,
so
you
get
these
flowers
in
early
summer,
it'll
take
a
little
bit
of
shade:
pretty
drought,
tolerant
and
in
the
fall
the
leaves
go.
Gold,
a
really
stunning,
yellow
gold
see
domes
for
hot
dry.
A
These
are
the
creeping
sedum
of
this
one
is
lemon
drop
and
there's
also
a
cat
akola
over
on
the
right,
which
is
bluish
and
blooms
in
the
fall.
The
catacombs
pink
in
the
fall
this
one
blooms
in
the
summer
and
then
there's
a
red
one.
There
too,
red
dragon
I
think
that
is,
and
the
upgrade
sedum
this
one
Matrona
is
a
little
different.
The
stems
are
red:
the
foliage
has
a
little
bit
of
a
blueish
and
red
cast
to
it,
and
the
flowers
are
more
pastel
than
the
autumn
joys
and
and
those
autumn
fire.
A
The
churn
drill,
orange
orange
e
pink.
This
one
is
a
little
bit
lighter,
but
drought
tolerant
come
up
early
in
the
spring.
So
if
you
have
a
kind
of
a
garden,
that's
you're
waiting
for
stuff
to
show
up.
This
will
be
there
right
away
and
they
are
the
last
thing
to
bloom
before
the
asters
in
the
fall
Oh.
A
Shade
plants
and
I
am
really
I
will
wrap
up
very
quickly
blue
beach,
small
tree
blue
beach
or
also
called
American
hornbeam
nice
understory
tree
for
shady
spots.
If
you
want
a
tree
in
the
shade,
this
is
a
good
one.
Great
fall
color,
as
you
can
see
from
this
little
one,
fernleaf
buckthorn
shade,
tolerant,
it's
a
large,
shrub
or
small
tree.
A
If
you
want
to
keep
it,
neither
looking
it
does
take
some
pruning
but
easy
to
grow
in
shade,
tolerant,
arrowood,
viburnum,
shade,
tolerant
viburnum.
This
is
the
fall
color.
It
will
eventually
morph
to
pinky
a
little
bit
of
a
paint,
color
fruit,
flowers,
all
that
stuff,
another
viburnum
mohican.
This
is
the
most
shade,
tolerant,
probably
the
most
shade,
tolerant,
shrub
I've
ever
grown,
and
it
has
enough
foliage
to
provide
screening
as
well,
at
the
same
time,
even
under
another
tree,
County
white
flowers,
red
berries.
A
This
is
it
when
it's
blooming
slopes
hat
sites,
dear
Villa,
Bush
honeysuckle
can't
beat
it
for
holding
a
site.
This
one
is
called
cool
splash.
It's
a
variation
on
that
dear
Villa,
really
pretty
in
a
che
site
where
variegated
dogwood
isn't
going
to
do
very
well
and
it's
small
and
grow
low,
sumac
good
for
shade
or
sun.
A
little
bit
of
fall,
color,
spreads
but
low
to
the
ground
and
ground
covers
think
or
periwinkle
good
for
shade
periwinkle.
Another
ground
cover
good
for
shade
and
lamium.
A
A
Not
too
many
things
will
do
that
ash
leaf,
spirea
a
little
bigger
thing
for
shade
and
wet,
also
wet
blue
willow,
shade
and
wet
a
terrible
picture,
but
Annabelle
hydrangea,
the
only
type
of
hydrangea
there's
one
other
one
called
Snow
Hill
that
will
grow
in
the
shade
and
bloom
in
the
shade,
the
other
one's
seen
Sun,
and
it
takes
a
lot
of
moisture
too
and
it's
fantastic
to
cut
and
bring
in
four
pots
in
the
winter
winterberry
or
ilex.
This
is
our
native
Holly.
A
It's
the
only
Holly
that
will
grow
here.
It
gets
Holly
like
fruit
on
it,
it
grows
in
the
shade.
It
takes
water,
and
this
is
what
it
looks
like
in
the
winter
if
it
gets
enough
Sun,
if
it's
in
the
shade,
it
won't
have
this
much
fruit,
but
that
fruit
stays
on
a
good
part
of
the
winter,
and
we
just
can't
beat
it.
A
Lost
my
place:
oh
yeah
witch
hazel,
the
foliage
of
it
fall
bloomer
and
a
shade
plant,
a
large
shrub.
This
is
it's
very
there's
no
shape
to
it.
So
keep
that
in
mind,
but
a
large
shrub
for
shade
and
it
does
bloom
in
the
fall
ferns.
Of
course,
we
know
about
astilbe
for
shade
and
milkweed.
The
rose.
Milkweed
is
one
of
the
prettier
ones
that
will
feed
butterflies
and
will
grow
in
a
wet
spot
like
a
rain
garden.
I
think,
that's
it
sorry.
I
ran
a
little
bit
over
I
knew
I.
Would.
