Variegated Bear's Paw is a small shrublet with thick, wedge-like leaves and a velvety coating. Its fuzzy leaves are striped green and cream and have a toothed edge like claws on a paw.

Improved yellow-leaf caryopteris. Sunshine Blue® II caryopteris is a new, improved cultivar. It replaces the original Sunshine Blue® caryopteris as it has proven in our trials to be brighter, hardier, and more adaptable.

Also known as blue mist spirea, despite the fact that it is not remotely related to Spiraea.

Dark and dreamy! You're sure to love this new Caryopteris with its extremely dark glossy foliage, compact habit and rich blue flowers.

This new Goat's Beard is an appropriate size for tucking into places in your shade garden. ‘Fairy Hair’ produces sprays of creamy, triangular flower plumes that age to a darker color. Its foliage adds a whimsical touch to the garden with its needle-like, medium green leaves. Although the foliage is incredibly dissected, it produces a thick, substantial clump for a solid presence. Goat's Beard is similar in appearance to Astilbe in the garden, but it is more drought tolerant.

An outstanding specimen plant for the partially shaded garden. Looking much like a very large white astilbe, Goat's Beard has similar foliage and feathery, creamy white flower plumes up to 1 ft. long.

Most Goat’s Beard are large plants for the back of the border, but this is a dwarf species that fits right into the smaller garden scheme. It forms a low mound of light green, ferny foliage, bearing short spikes of creamy-white flowers in June, similar to Astilbe. Excellent for edging, or in the rock garden. Remove faded flowers after blooming just to tidy the plants up for the rest of the season. Consider this also for growing in mixed tubs or containers, or perhaps beside a pond or stream. Easy and reliable, but not a good choice for dry shade situations.
