Today we spent the whole afternoon in the garden shop at Lowe’s getting some plants for our backyard. Enjoy!
This is called a “Red Prince Weigela” and has rich red flowers (they look pink in the photo but they are red). This shrub grows 6 ft. X 8 ft. and will go nicely along the fence, between the patio and the shed, just outside my kitchen window!

This is an ornamental grass and is called, “Blue Fescue“
This is called “Crimson Pygmy Barberry” and has purplish-red leaves. This low hedge will grow 2-3 ft. X 2-3 ft. and will be planted along the back of the patio along the fence.
Gino likes it for it’s color…I haven’t decided but I do know I don’t like the thorns! OUCH!

This is a “Ruutel Clematis“. I’m going to plant it in a large container and “train” it to climb up an arbor on the patio.
This shrub is called “Little Princess Spirea” and it has delicate crimson-rose blooms. This shrub will get 2 ft. X 4 ft. and will planted at the southern corner of the patio.

This evergreen is called a “Mugho Pine” and will be planted somewhere…not sure of exact spots since we bought 2 of them.
This large hedge is called a “Schipka Cherry Laurel” and has fragrant white flowers. This hedge will get 4-6 ft. X 6-8 ft. and will go great along our neighboring fence along the south, as an additional noise barrier/view blocker.
This evergreen is called a “Dwarf Alberta Spruce” and will be planted along the south neighboring fence.
