EDUCATION
There has been a lot of exciting breeding of the native plants that so many landscape architects like. Look for compact versions of Cephalanthus, Aronia and Physocarpus.
Compact plants allow landscapers to use familiar genera in new ways. Suddenly a plant that had only been used as a specimen can be planted en masse or even in a container garden. Would you have thought that a Hydrangea panicu- lata could be kept in a deco pot? It’s got the cold hardiness, but older varieties get way too big. New dwarf varieties
mean your clients can enjoy their hydrangea container garden for many years without replanting. Ask your nursery grower what new compact varieties they will be offering this season. You will likely find new dwarf forms of familiar favorites. You know the originals; the smaller versions provide the same form and function
