First Editions® Neon Burst™ Dogwood
First Editions® Neon Burst™ is a compact dogwood with attractive chartreuse foliage and good sun tolerance. Its stems have a rich red hue early in the season. Fall foliage is a rainbow of purple, red, yellow and orange. In winter, stems turn glossy scarlet red.
First Editions® Straight & Narrow™ Japanese Holly
Straight & Narrow™ holly is a perfectly suited vertical accent for home and urban landscapes. Its shiny, dark green leaves and tidy structure make it a standout no matter what time of year. Its strong, columnar shape makes it a great fit in small spaces and as a replacement for other holly varieties that flop as they age.
First Editions® Sweet Star™ Gardenia
Sweet Star™ Gardenia offers more of what we already crave about gardenia: big, fragrant, abundant flowers well into summer and early fall. Add pretty orange fruit later in the season on an already nicely rounded, tidy plant, and you will easily fall in love.
First Editions® Virtual Violet™ Lilac
Virtual Violet™ Lilac boasts shiny violet new leaves, deep purple stems, raspberry-purple buds and fragrant violet flowers. Leaf petioles remain violet well into the summer. The dense, upright habit makes it a great choice for a hedge or use in foundation plantings.
First Editions® Swing Low™ Distylium
Swing Low™ is a low-growing evergreen with dainty blue-green leaves. It grows well in dry or wet soils, seasonally flooded areas and on slopes. It’s also heat tolerant and adapts well to pruning when needed. This distylium is a great replacement for boxwood and other evergreens due to its disease and insect resistance. Perfect for mass planting.
