There seems to be some confusion about the range of this tree in North America with some experts saying it grows as far north as zone 4 & some saying it grows as far south as zone 10.
This is a very slow-growing tree, but it is beautiful! Native to Japan, where it grows much taller (60 to 70 feet) than in North America, it is an extremely long-lived tree & makes a gorgeous specimen tree.
It requires high rainfall but well-drained soil & likes humid summers. If it has these things, it will have good growth.
Tolerates high-acid soils & every other type except highly limey soils.
It has orangish to reddish-brown bark, which comes off in strips but is generally hidden by the lush foliage.

This plant has beautiful bright purple stems. Very attractive plant. It's somewhat "leggy" in a container.

A very low-growing evergreen penstemon. Requires hardly any care at all. This plant is in mostly shade (gets less than 3 hours sun a day).

A 57-day variety with straight, round, 6-inch pods, introduced by Pure Line Seeds. Slow to develop beans, which means a longer harvest window. More vigorous than most under cool soil and air conditions. Does well here as a first planting.

A 2005 cultivar that Bob Hornback received from the late Ed Carman, the legendary nurseryman who owned Carman's Nursery in Los Gatos, CA. This unnamed plant was brought back from New Zealand by Ed and he eventually gave Bob Hornback permission to name it after him.

I find the life cycle way too short! Beautiful, but stinky!

This is an introduced perennial, native to Europe and Asia. Considered a noxious weed in several states.
I have this plant in my garden and find this classic daisy a good bloomer that provides almost endless cut flowers for a small arrangement.
It blooms earlier than all the other garden daisies.
The almost lacy leaves leave air and visibility for the other perennials nearby. (Not a space hog.)

This plant's bloom has a very strong sweet fragrance.
It is used in herbal medicine. The root is often made into a tea that serves as a sleep aid.
Spreads by underground runners, but is easy to keep in check.
Worth growing in the garden if only for the wonderful scent.

One of the largest, most brilliantly colored daylilies in my yard. A real standout. Good fragrance, too. Heavy clay soil. Sun until around 2:00PM.

Somewhat chalky-looking surface. First year in this yard. Heavy clay. Sun until around 2:00PM.

purchased this small thrift this year for a miniature garden. The pink flowers are best if dead headed and you will get blooms on and off all year.
This plant is also an excellent choice for alpine gardens.

sorry to report this plant did not make it through this years extreme winter , it was in a pot so may have survived if I had it in ground.
