Trees & Shrubs
Abelia grandiflora, often referred to as Glossy Abelia ~ If I could only have one shrub this would be it.
I like the new variety's but, I have to have the original. It is evergreen year around and when it starts blooming it is covered with little white bell-shaped flowers that smell heavenly. The bees and butterflies love it to. It's an oldie but goodie.
Althea's, Magnolias, (Tulip & Little Gem) Crape Mrytle, Chaste, Cassia (for beautiful golden fall blooms). Loquat (for its fragrance and fruit.), Camillias, Tea Olives, Banana shrub, Mock Orange, Confederate Rose, Indian Hawthorne,
Spirea ~ White Bridal wreath one of the first plants to bloom in the spring. Just when you can't stand winter any longer here comes the beautiful white blooms.
Spirea ~ Pink Double Play Doozie is a new favorite in early spring the foliage is a deep red and by late spring it will be covered with lots of bright purple-red flowers that will last until the first frost.
