Tips for Efficient Printing
Before proceeding:
  • To print more columns on a single page, print the report in Landscape mode. To do this, change your printer's 'Orientation' to Landscape in your browser's Printer Settings dialog box.
  • Hide unneeded columns (to reduce print output width) by unchecking column names in the 'View Preferences' box at the bottom of this screen. If this screen is currently in the 'Plant Images Only' view, you must first click the 'Display In List Format' checkbox before you can hide the columns you do not want to print. Your print output will match whatever you are viewing here.

1. Rubrum
Click to display
In this selection, plants form a bushy mound of dark green leaves, bearing sprays of cherry-red flowers in mid to late spring. Although they will take a couple of years to reach a mature size, plants are long-lived and very sturdy. Old leaves should be pruned to the ground in late winter to show the flowers to best effect. Drought tolerant once established. Plants may be divided in early spring or late summer. Beautiful bronze foliage color in winter.

2. Purple Fountain Grass (Rubrum)
Click to display
Gracefully arching, wine-purple foliage topped with burgundy, soft bottlebrush plumes up to 1’ long appear in midsummer. Enjoy its winter interest too-the plumes and the leaves will turn a subtle straw color after the first hard freeze.

Maple (Red Rocket)Acer rubrum
3. Red Rocket
Click to display
This strong columnar shaped maple is ideal for smaller landscapes to brighten up any area. Relatively short and upright in stature, it makes a perfect street tree specimen for urban areas. Bright red leaves are its highlight during autumn months. The ‘Red Rocket’ was introduced by the US National Arboretum from a northern Minnesota selection.

4. Red Sunset® (‘Franksred’)
Click to display
‘Brandywine’ is cross between A. rubrum October Glory® and A. rubrum ‘Autumn Flame’, and was developed by the U.S. National Arboretum. Only sterile flowers are produced in spring, thus no fruit or undesirable messy seedlings. The long lasting fall color gradually turns from red to brilliant reddish purple. A medium-sized shade tree with an oval crown and significant leafhopper resistance. Although adaptable to a wide range of conditions, prefers a slightly acidic, moist, well-drained soil. Excellent for lawn, street, highway and park plantings.

Sun Valley Maple takes fall color to a new level of brilliance when its handsome leaves turn from dark green to bright red early in autumn with an exceptional long-lasting fall color. It features a very uniform, densely branched oval head and exhibits significant resistance to potato leafhopper. It is a medium size tree that matures at approximately 40 feet in height with a 35-foot spread.
