Adams Needle
The Adams Needle bush, Yucca filamentosa, has stiff evergreen rosettes and are part of the scene in hot dry Central and North American scrublands. Yuccas are hardier than they appear, and only fail in cold exposed inland positions, where they are better grown as container plants. Otherwise they are handsome architectural foliage plants for dry, sunny borders. This variety has a white edge. Yucca filamentosa makes dense clumps of stiff leaves 30 inches or so long and edged with fine curly hairs. The remarkable flower-spikes, 6' or more high, appear when plants are five or more years old. ... more
Forsythia - Spectabilis Allow plenty of room for plant to spread. Profuse, yellow, spring flowers are followed by medium green summer foliage. The profuse, yellow flowers of forsythia are considered by many to be the first sure sign of spring. Often used to control erosion on steep slopes because tips of branches root naturally and plants spread easily. Prune in spring after flowering so that buds for the next year can develop in the fall. |
