ly low shrub with fragrant, bright pink 
flower clusters in May. Blooms again in 
fall if trimmed lightly about July first. 
Small narrow leaves, attractive gray- 
green. Prefers well-drained, alkaline 
soil of moderate to low fertility. Sun or 
part shade. Transplants poorly unless 
dormant, so we do not accept orders for

GERMANDER (Teucrium chamaedrys) 
10 inches. Zone V to VI. A dense bushy 
little evergreen for small trimmed 
hedges or edgings, formally trimmed or 
informal. Neat, small leaves. Useful in 
rock gardens, as border for perennial

greens. Sometimes gets winter burn in 
Zone V, but develops rapidly even if cut 
back severely in spring.

LILY OF THE VALLEY SHRUB 
(Pieris japonica) 
6-8 ft. Zone V. One of the finest ever- 
greens in existence, a beauty that at- 
tracts attention the year around. New 
foliage in spring is red, orange, bronze, 
and shiny light green, deepen- ~ 
ing to lustrous dark green as 
leaves mature. Drooping clus- 
ters of buds form in fall and 
add an artistic note throughout 
the winter, opening to fragrant 
white bells in early spring. 
Any average soil, appreciates 
good drainage. Will grow in 
shade but blooms best in sun. 
Grows somewhat taller than 
wide as a rule. New growth 
sometimes gets nipped by late 
spring frosts if planted in low 
spots (frost pockets) but recov- 
ery is rapid.
