Broadleaf Evergreen

Rhododendron 'Firestorm'

The 'Firestorm' produces large clusters of fuschia-red blooms in late spring. Flowers attract hummingbirds and other beneficial pollinators. Will grow 3-4' tall and wide at maturity. Well-draining, organically rich soils are a must for these evergreens to thrive.

Salix gracilistyla 'Melanostachys'

This variety of 'Black Pussy Willow' grows 6-10' tall and wide and keeps a bushy habit. It will benefit from being pruned back in late spring after blooms have disappeared. The rich, red winter stems are accented by soft, purple-black catkins that are the main ornamental feature of this plant. Branches will turn golden yellow as they age.
