Lilac - Montaigne
Montaigne Lilac, Syringa vulgaris 'Montaigne', is an upright growing, French Hybrid Lilac with double, soft lilac-pink flowers in May. It displays an excellent, clean, dark green summer foliage. This strong, long lived, early flowering shrub prefers full sun, good drainage and air circulation. If one removes flowers as they fade, as well as older wood and suckers, it will improve the plants appearance and flower production. Montaigne can be used in many situations, including shrub borders, informal hedges and perennial borders. It is a good bloomer and grows 10-12 feet tall and 8-10 feet wide. Being very showy and extremely fragrant, it makes a wonderful screen or border specimen. ... more
Red Flowering Quince The Red Flowering Quince, Chaenomeles speciosa, is valued for its spring flowers. The single or double rose like flowers emerge in clusters of 2–4, often before leaves develop. The oblong, serrated foliage opens bronze red and fades to a glossy dark green. It is very nice for a shrub border or espaliered to wall. Cut branches with swollen flower buds may be forced indoors, making a welcomed winter flower arrangement. To prune, remove only crossing, diseased or broken branches. Flowering quince should never be sheared. |
