What's in Bloom?
Perhaps displaying the best range of fall color, this native of the Appalachians, is also well suited to the pacific northwest. This is a drought tolerant shrub that can grow to 20’. Its range of color includes reds, pinks, oranges, and yellows. This shurb can be found off of the Cherry trial, just before the junction with Wildwood Trail. Make sure to look nearby for interesting hybrid cultivars, ‘Grace’ and ‘Golden Spirit.’
