Dogwood Pagoda
ID: #637181
Description
Pagoda Dogwood is a large shrub or small tree that is native to Ontario. In late spring/early summer, small clusters of creamy-white flowers appear before turning into blue-black berries by late summer. In the fall, the leaves sometimes turn reddish-purple, though some years it may be more yellow. Pagoda Dogwood may be ornamental, but it also benefits wildlife. The flowers are enjoyed by bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, while the berries are eaten by birds such as Grouse, Pheasants, and Wild Turkeys, as well as small mammals like squirrels. It's also the larval host for the Spring Azure butterfly. Pagoda Dogwood grows best in acidic, fertile, somewhat moist, well-drained soil. It dislikes hot, humid weather and appreciates afternoon shade in warmer climates. It can tolerate full shade, but flowering will be reduced.

Jade Plant
Contact for price
Jade Plant is a popular, easy-to-grow succulent that is great for beginners and experienced houseplant owners. It features thick, succulent green leaves and, once mature, can produce small white flowers if given enough light. As it grows, it develops a thick, woody trunk and can be trained into a bonsai specimen. Jade grows best in bright, direct to indirect light, though it should be slowly acclimated to direct sunlight. Plant it in a small pot with well-draining cactus/succulent soil and water only when the soil has fully dried out; remember to reduce your watering during winter.

The Variegated Heartleaf Hoya features thick, heart-shaped green foliage with creamy-yellow margins. With good light and time, it can produce a round cluster of fragrant white-to-pink flowers with pink centers. Hoyas are vining plants and will trail over the sides of pots or can be trained to grow up a trellis or other support. Hoyas grow best in bright, indirect light with a well-draining potting mix. Hoyas with thicker leaves should be watered only once the soil has mostly dried out, while those with thinner leaves can be watered once the top few inches of soil have dried. We have found that the Heartleaf Hoyas are sensitive to overwatering and should have their soil fully dried out before being watered again.
