Dogwoods (Cornus alba, alternifolia, controversa, kousa, mas, nuttallii, rutgers, sericea/stolonifera, sanguinea and various crosses) – trees, shrubs and even a groundcover. One of our favorite genuses.
For more about dogwoods, see our garden tips on Dogwoods at this link:
Ferns – Another groups with very confusing botanical names. Thy are on the list under ‘F’ for fern followed by the botanical name. (Adiantum, Asplenium, Athyrium, Blechnum, Drypoteris, Gymnocarpium, Osmunda, polypodium, polystichum, thelypteris, woodwardia and more.)
Hostas – Beautiful leaves, some for shade, some for sun. Great for planting around trees and shrubs.
Hydrangeas – Such luscious soft blooms in a variety of colors and sizes.
(Hydrangea anomola, arborescens, aspera, macrophylla, paniculata, quercifolia, serrata)
For descriptions and pictures of some of our favorites see this page:
Magnolias – Evergreen and deciduous – so many colors and shapes to choose from.
(Magnolia acuminata, grandiflora, liliiflora, sieboldii, soulangiana, stellata, virginiana and various crosses)
