Our Expert Buyer’s Picks
Some of her favorite plants, trees and shrubs for unique summer 
color this season are listed below. These are spectacular plants that will bring major “Wow” factor this summer:
Chocolate Fountain Silk Tree
Chocolate Fountain Silk Tree is a new one from Monrovia that we just can’t get over. Dramatic, deep purple, fern-like foliage enhanced by delicate pink flowers in summer. It is an elegant accent for smaller spaces and does well in containers (but will need to be brought indoors during the winter if kept in a container). This small, deciduous tree doesn’t mind the heat and is tough, trouble-free and drought resistant in the landscape.
Rose of Sharon
The Rose of Sharon Tree comes in so many varieties. This is a summer favorite as they keep a tight, upright form with large summer blossoms. It’s a great way to bring dramatic color to your garden when other shrubs and perennials have stopped blooming in the summer. They don’t get much larger than 6-feet tall, so can help provide some interesting contract amongst taller trees and shorter shrubs.
Some of the Rose of Sharon varieties we carry:
- Blue Chiffon
- Blue Satin
- Aphrodite
- Diana
- Hawaii
- Fiji
- Danica
- Red Heart
- Helene
- Pulcherimus
- Boule de Feu
Hydrangea
And if you haven’t seen the stunning blooms of Hydrangea’s then you
haven’t lived! These incredible blooms are popping like crazy and make such a beautiful addition to any garden with their gorgeous, full blossoms. A unique pop of color for summer and they keep on blooming into the fall. They come in a variety of colors and make for truly incredible summer bouquets. Monrovia calls these beauties Shapely Shrubs.
