Hydrangea paniculata 'Little Lime' WW35 Panicle S2- (Wood, 2011) Compact Panicle Hydrangea, Mature plant size: 3-5ft., Sterile flowers emerging soft light green but maturing to pink and burgundy in fall, USDA Hardiness Zone 3-8, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW27, In Garden Bed S2 for 3.2 YEARS (Bluestone). Planted in 2019.
Missouri Botanical Garden: 'Jane', commonly sold under the trade name of LITTLE LIME, is a compact cultivar that typically grows in an upright rounded mound to 3-5' tall and as wide. It is the product of an open pollination in a planned breeding program that took place in Grand Haven, Michigan in August of 2005 between Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight Variegated' (female parent) and an unknown selection of Hydrangea paniculata (male parent). 'Jane' is particularly noted for its large mophead type inflorescences (panicles to 5" tall by 4" wide), with sterile flowers emerging soft light green but maturing to pink and burgundy in fall. Additional features of interest include compact, upright-mounded shape, free branching habit and strong stems which hold the panicles upright with no drooping. Flowers typically bloom from July through September. Ovate, serrulate, dark green leaves (to 2 1/2” long) are attractive during the growing season, but produce generally undistinguished fall color. Flower panicles may be cut for fresh arrangements or for drying, or may be left on the plant where they often persist into winter. U. S. Plant Patent PP22,330 was issued on December 13, 2011.
2020 notes: It is 16 inches tall and has an oblong shape measuring 16 inches wide and 30 inches long. I have not trimmed it yet, but will probably make it more ball shaped. Planted one year ago. Attractive lime green panicles. This was purchased in a 4x4 inch plantable pot and is doing really well after a year in the ground. I did remove the pot before I planted, not a big fan of plantable pots.

Grows 4' tall and 3' wide. Sturdy stems & green maple leaf foliage. Large 8-10in. pink flowers with a darker pink eye & dark pink peppermint stripes. Planted in 2013. Leaves somewhat curled in 2017. Did not do well in 2018, 2019 is better.
2020 note: Looks back to normal this year.I had several Hibiscus that have croaked over the years. Not sure why I have a problem growing these perennials.
2021: Looks ok this year, but the leaves are showing insect damage.

Allium 'Millenium' 8/2021 ornamental onion- (McDonough) ornamental onion, Mature size: 20”, Purple, USDA Hardiness Zone 5-7, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW31, In Garden Bed G4,4a S4 C3 for 5.2 YEARS (MBulb). Planted in 2016.
Missouri Botanical Garden: 'Millenium', commonly called allium, is a bulbous ornamental hybrid developed by allium breeder Mark McDonough. Its hybrid parentage is unknown, but likely includes some A. nutens. Each bulb typically produces an upright foliage clump of slender, somewhat flattened, broad linear, grass-like, glossy deep green leaves to 6-12” tall in spring. Unbranched naked scapes rise above the foliage clump to as much as 18-20” tall by mid-summer, each scape being topped by a showy 2-inch spherical umbel of rose purple florets. Flowers typically bloom mid to late summer (July-August). Although all parts of this plant have an oniony smell and taste when cut or bruised, this hybrid is considered to be an ornamental and is not used for culinary purposes.
Cultivar name suffers from a minor spelling problem. It is often spelled 'Millennium', but Mark McDonough apparently registered it under the name of 'Millenium'.
2020 note: Planted 4 years ago, it is a mature plant. Measures 18 inches tall and 24 inches wide. Blooms later than my other garlic. The scapes are slightly taller than the grass like foliage and forms an attractive mounded plant. Unlike some ornnamental garlic that has long scapes coming from a short base.

Cotinus coggygria 'Royal Purple' WW35 Smoke Tree N4- (SmokeBush) Smoke Tree, Mature plant size: 15x12ft., PURPLE, purple leaves, yellow flowers, USDA Hardiness Zone 4, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed N4 for 330 DAYS (Lowes,). Planted in 2021.
Missouri Botanical Garden: ‘Royal Purple’ is a compact, purple-leaved version of the European species. It is a deciduous, upright, loose-spreading, multi-stemmed shrub that typically matures over time to 10-15' tall. As is the case with all plants of this species, it gets its common name of smoketree (or smokebush) not from the tiny, insignificant, yellowish flowers which appear in branching, terminal panicles (6-8” long) in spring, but from the billowy hairs (attached to elongated stalks on the spent flower clusters) which turn a smoky pink to purplish pink in late spring, thus covering the plant with fluffy, hazy, smoke-like puffs throughout summer. But it is the foliage that particularly distinguishes 'Royal Purple'. Ovate to obovate leaves (to 3” long) emerge a rich maroon red in spring, and then gradually mature to dark purplish-red to purplish-black in summer. Foliage retains good color without much fading throughout the growing season. Cotinus is in the same family as and closely related to the sumacs (Rhus). 'Royal Purple' was raised at Lombarts Nursery in Boskoop, Holland. It was introduced into the U.S. in 1953. Synonymous with C. coggygria 'Kromhout'.
2021 note: slected plant with single trunk, will try to keep it that way.

Hydrangea paniculata 'Phantom' 9/2021 Panicle- () Panicle Hydrangea, Mature size: 10x8’, 15" long white florets, USDA Hardiness Zone 4, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW28, In Garden Bed U2,2,3 for 12 MONTHS (Meijer). Planted in 2020.
Missouri Botanical Garden: 'Phantom' features very large flower heads held on sturdy, straight stems that are not prone to flopping. The terminal, cone-shape, panicle inflorescences can reach up to 15" long and are excellent for fresh cut or dried arrangements. The sterile florets emerge pale green and mature from bright white to pale pink by early fall. Mature specimens can reach up to 10' tall with an equal spread.
Almost Eden: It's quietly whispered among those in the know that this sister seedling to the highly touted Limelight™ may actually be the better of the two, but we'll leave it up to you to decide... Huge clusters of white sterile florets are held above the rich dark green foliage on sturdy upright to arching stems in summer and change to pink and green in fall. A Royal Horticulture Society Award of Garden Merit recipient!
2020 note: good sized potted plant from Meijer in Ann Arbor (Jackson RD). Probably a 2 gallon pot. This one is somewhat taller and wider than most of the recent introductions (this is not a recent intro), so I need to plant it where is will have some room to grow. End of the season sale at 30% off. Tag indicated a height of 10-20 feet, while most web info reported 10 feet at maturety. Purchased in late August, will wait for cooler weather in September to plant. In the greenhouse with the rest of the panicle hydrangeas that get watered daily in this heat.

Introduced by Swan Island in 2004. Waterlily type with 6in. blooms of bright orange red. Good cutflower. 4-5' bush. First planted in 2012. easy to divide tubers.
2020 notes: Group of 3 in garden U0 in 2020. Not doing well in this spot. Usually this plant is 5-6 feet tall. I will have to give it a better location next year.
2021 note: looking good this year. Planted in a raised bed. A very photogenic plant. Lots of blooms.

Hydrangea paniculata 'STRAWBERRY SUNDAE' WW35 Panicle T3- (Renault 2015) Panicle Hydrangea, Mature plant size: 5x4ft., Panicles emerge white and mature to strawberry pink, USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW26, In Garden Bed T3 for 4.0 YEARS (Lowes). Planted in 2018.
Missouri Botanical Garden: ‘Rensun’, commonly sold under the trade name of STRAWBERRY SUNDAE, typically grows to only 5’ tall and to 3-4’ wide. Flower panicles (7” by 5”) feature showy sterile flowers which bloom on new growth from mid-summer to fall. Sterile flowers emerge white, change to pink and finally mature to strawberry red, with multicolored flowering (white to strawberry red) occurring in late summer as new flowering stems emerge to join mature flowers. This cultivar is very similar to H. paniculata ‘RENHY’ VANILLA STRAWBERRY (French breeder Jean Renault bred both) except it is much smaller in size. U.S. Plant Patent PP#25,438 issued on April 14, 2015.
2020 note: 3 feet high and 4 feet wide after 23 months in the ground. Really pleased so far with this shrub.

Physostegia virginiana 'Vivid' WW41 Obedient Plant Y1- (obedient plant) Obedient Plant, Mature plant size: 1-2ft., lavender pink, tubular, two-lipped, snapdragon -like flowers , USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW35, In Garden Bed Y1 for 14.3 YEARS (3.32). Planted in 2008.
Missouri Botanical Garden: Physostegia virginiana, commonly called obedient plant or false dragonhead, is a rhizomatous perennial that is native to North America from Quebec to Manitoba south to Florida and New Mexico.
Genus name comes from the Greek words physa meaning bladder and stege meaning covering in reference to the calyces which inflate as they develop.
Genus members are commonly called obedient plants because each individual flower will, upon being pushed in any one direction, temporarily remain in the new position as if it were hinged. Genus members are also commonly called false dragonhead because the flowers are suggestive of the flowers of dragonhead (Dracocephalum).
'Vivid' is a compact, erect, clump-forming but rhizomatous perennial which typically grows 1-2' tall on stiff, square stems and features dense spikes of rich pink, tubular, two-lipped, snapdragon-like flowers which bloom throughout the summer.

Hydrangea paniculata 'STRAWBERRY SUNDAE' WW35 Panicle V1- (Renault 2015) Panicle Hydrangea, Mature plant size: 5x4ft., Panicles emerge white and mature to strawberry pink, USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW26, In Garden Bed V1 for 35 MONTHS (Lowes). Planted in 2019.
Missouri Botanical Garden: ‘Rensun’, commonly sold under the trade name of STRAWBERRY SUNDAE, typically grows to only 5’ tall and to 3-4’ wide. Flower panicles (7” by 5”) feature showy sterile flowers which bloom on new growth from mid-summer to fall. Sterile flowers emerge white, change to pink and finally mature to strawberry red, with multicolored flowering (white to strawberry red) occurring in late summer as new flowering stems emerge to join mature flowers. This cultivar is very similar to H. paniculata ‘RENHY’ VANILLA STRAWBERRY (French breeder Jean Renault bred both) except it is much smaller in size. U.S. Plant Patent PP#25,438 issued on April 14, 2015.
2020 note: A little over 1 foot high and 2 feet wide after 323 days in the ground. Panicle hydrangeas seem to do really well in Michigan. This one is projected to be 5x4 feet at maturity. However, you can keep them even smaller by pruning. I have Tardiva in one of my other garden beds and I prune it every year to keep it on the smaller side.

Hydrangea paniculata Zinfin Doll® 'SMNHPRZEP' (PP26956, 2016) was developed by Timothy Wood, MI. Selected from an open-pollination of seed parent Hydrangea paniculata 'Little Lamb'. Dense bi-colored blooms emerge white then transition to hot pink to red. Upward-facing blooms on strong stems. Soil acidity does not affect bloom color. A Proven Winners® selection. Good growth in 2 years time. Great fall colors.
2020 note: About 3 feet tall and wide after 3 years in the ground. Needs to be bottom trimmed to be more vase shaped (my preference). Soil in this garden is on the clay side. Seed parent is Little Lamb, which I had but did not survive. Like most of my panicle hydranges, it starts out white and turn pink or red or both. I will probably keep this at a 3-4 foot height.

Physostegia virginiana 'Vivid' WW41 Obedient Plant Y1- (obedient plant) Obedient Plant, Mature plant size: 1-2ft., lavender pink, tubular, two-lipped, snapdragon -like flowers , USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW35, In Garden Bed Y1 for 14.3 YEARS (3.32). Planted in 2008.
Missouri Botanical Garden: Physostegia virginiana, commonly called obedient plant or false dragonhead, is a rhizomatous perennial that is native to North America from Quebec to Manitoba south to Florida and New Mexico.
Genus name comes from the Greek words physa meaning bladder and stege meaning covering in reference to the calyces which inflate as they develop.
Genus members are commonly called obedient plants because each individual flower will, upon being pushed in any one direction, temporarily remain in the new position as if it were hinged. Genus members are also commonly called false dragonhead because the flowers are suggestive of the flowers of dragonhead (Dracocephalum).
'Vivid' is a compact, erect, clump-forming but rhizomatous perennial which typically grows 1-2' tall on stiff, square stems and features dense spikes of rich pink, tubular, two-lipped, snapdragon-like flowers which bloom throughout the summer. Blooms from bottom to top on each spike. Narrow, lance-shaped, sharp-toothed leaves (to 4" long).
Very agressive plant. Planted in 2008. This one is shorter than most. I cull it back every spring.

Rosa 'Ausmixture' [OLIVIA ROSE AUSTIN] 8/2021 DAR- (Austin, 2014) English Leander Hybrid Shrub Rose DAR, Mature size: 4.5x3.5’, Pink flowers, 90 petals, USDA Hardiness Zone 4-10, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW23, In Garden Bed G1,2 for 28 MONTHS (David). Planted in 2019.
DAR: This is a rather special rose; in fact, it is possibly the best rose that we have introduced to date. Its flowers are a lovely soft shade of pink and are beautiful at all stages. They commence as prettily cupped buds, gradually opening to shallowly cupped, Old Rose style rosettes. Each bloom is about three and a half inches across. It repeat flowers well and has a strong, pleasing fragrance with distinct fruity tints. It is also one of the most disease-resistant of all the roses we know.
2020 notes: Second round of blooms in September. This is a grafted rose and it is a more vigorous plant compare to the own root DA roses. I am impressed so far. Nice sized shrub for being planted last year. I have not checked out its fragrance yet. It is located on the south side of the greenhouse, so it gets winter protection from the cold north winter winds. DA roses rates this rose down to zone 4. I have several roses in this wrea. They seem to like it here.

U.S. Plant Patent PP#25,438 issued on April 14, 2015.
2020 note: 3 feet high and 4 feet wide after 23 months in the ground. Really pleased so far with this shrub.
