Big Color in Small Spaces

I discovered these "Cherry Dazzle" dwarf crepe myrtles a few years ago. They bloom like crazy and maintain an easy-to-manage size (3' wide). They love full sun, are disease and drought resistant, and are a definite eye-catching shrub! I planted mine on a slight embankment and they really make a statement.

Sweet Smell of Summer

I love the spicy sweet smell of the Summersweet Shrub (clethra ruby spice) that I planted on the west side of my front porch years ago. When the breeze is blowing, it carries the smell across the porch for just a few minutes! They are easy to maintain and thrive in moist soil.
