Cercis canadensis ‘Forest Pansy’ - Eastern Redbud
In early spring, ‘Forest Pansy’ awakens with a long-lasting profusion of bright purplish-pink blooms borne in clusters, before the leaves, along smooth gray branches. Its heart-shaped, blood-red leaves are finely veined and glossy when young, slowly turning a dark, purple-tinged green in full sun. Autumn foliage is a bouquet of reds, purples, oranges, and yellows. The plant’s graceful branching structure stands out in winter.
Noteworthy characteristics: ’Forest Pansy’ produces new leaves throughout the season. It grows 15 to 25 feet tall with a slightly wider spread. Fairly trouble-free.
Care: Site in full sun or partial shade. Adaptable to a wide range of soil conditions, but thrives in moist, well-drained soil.

Fat Albert Colorado Blue Spruce - 
Picea pungens Glauca ‘Fat Albert’
This is the ideal Spruce for the small garden. Slow growing and reaching just fifteen feet tall, it is excellent for front lawns in the most limited landscapes, or use as a background foliage plant behind beds and borders. Good choice to fill up a bare corner or to provide mass in gardens of dwarf conifers and other very hardy low-growing plants. Dense and durable, it works well in windbreaks, as a screen or sound barrier.
