Purple Leaf Plum is one of the most striking ornamental trees in the landscape, commanding attention with its deep burgundy-purple foliage that holds its rich color from the moment it emerges in spring right through summer.

It grows to 15–20 feet with a classic vase-shaped form, making it an outstanding focal point or specimen planting in full sun.

An outstanding selection from a refined series, with sizable, blue flowers that bloom profusely over a long season, over compact, dark green foliage; hardy and prefers sheltered shaded areas but will tolerate dry soil for a while

BELARINA ^® primroses are refined beauties that completely embody the joy and hope that spring offers. Their sizable double blossoms in a rainbow of colors bloom profusely throughout the spring season atop the compact, bright green foliage. Sterile flowers result in plants that are particularly long blooming.

Belarina Amethyst Ice Primrose offers a subtler, more romantic take on the early spring garden with fully double blooms in a soft blend of lavender-purple and white that captures the cool, crystalline quality of the season’s early light. Like all the Belarina series, the sterile doubled flowers hold their display far longer than single-flowered primroses, making this a particularly enduring performer in early spring containers, shaded border edges, and mass plantings where weeks of consistent color are the goal. The compact habit tucks naturally into the front of a shaded border or fills a container with graceful, low mounding form. Consistent moisture and part to full shade are the main requirements; meet those and the flowers practically take care of themselves through the cool spring weeks. The soft color palette pairs beautifully with spring-blooming hellebores, pulmonaria, and early ferns for a layered, considered shade planting. An elegant and understated choice for gardeners who want spring color that feels refined rather than loud.

Belarina Buttercup Primrose brings a burst of sunny, fully double yellow flowers to the partly shaded spring garden when the season is just waking up and vivid color is most welcome. The Belarina series is distinguished by its exceptionally long-lasting blooms—the sterile, doubled flowers hold their color far longer than single-flowered primroses, making this a particularly rewarding choice for early spring containers, window boxes, and border edges. Plants stay compact under 12 inches tall with a tidy, clumping habit, and the semi-evergreen foliage provides green structure through milder winters for added year-round value. Consistent moisture and partial to full shade keep the flowers looking their best through the cool spring weeks. The cheerful yellow blooms pair naturally with spring bulbs, ferns, and early-season blues and purples for a fresh, welcoming garden composition. A reliable early spring performer that brightens the shade garden at the moment it’s most needed.

Belarina Cream Primrose offers the quiet, refined elegance that makes it a standout among spring’s earliest performers—its fully double, creamy white flowers opening above compact, bright green foliage at a time when the garden most needs a lift. A member of the Belarina series, it produces sterile flowers that are particularly long-blooming, lasting well beyond what single-flowered primroses typically offer. It settles happily in partial shade with consistent moisture and well-drained, compost-enriched soil, performing beautifully in containers, border edges, and shaded path plantings where its clean color can be appreciated up close. Position it away from hot afternoon sun, keep the soil evenly moist, and it will repay simple care with weeks of elegant spring color. Combine it with other spring favorites like bleeding heart, woodland phlox, and early hostas for a sophisticated, layered display.

An outstanding selection from a refined series, with sizable, double flowers that open yellow, then take on an apricot pink blush; compact, dark green foliage; hardy and prefers sheltered shaded areas, and will tolerate dry soil for a while

Oakleaf Magenta Primrose opens the spring garden with a vivid, saturated flourish—clusters of rich magenta blooms that emerge above deeply textured, oak-leaf-shaped foliage and hold their color through the cool weeks of early spring. As one of the first perennials to flower, it pairs naturally with early bulbs, hellebores, and pulmonaria in the partly shaded border where spring color is most welcome. The mounding, clumping habit stays compact at 12 to 18 inches, making it a natural fit for the front of a border, a container, or a woodland-edge planting where smaller-scale detail reads up close. Consistent moisture and partial shade keep it at its very best; it may go dormant in summer heat, then return fresh with the cooler weeks of fall. Despite its delicate appearance, it is genuinely hardy and returns reliably each year with the same vivid spring show. A small plant with an outsized impact on the early-season garden.

Oakleaf Yellow Picotee Primrose brings an unusual and charming combination to the partly shaded spring garden—cheerful yellow flowers with delicate picotee petal edges that catch the light in a particularly refined way. Like all primroses, it performs at its best in the cool conditions of spring, opening its flowers before the garden fully wakes up and bringing some of the first real color to shaded borders and woodland plantings. It settles into partial to full shade with consistent moisture and well-drained soil enriched with compost, and rewards good soil preparation with generous, long-lasting spring bloom. Position it where it can be easily watered during dry spells, and allow the foliage to die back naturally after the blooming season finishes. Pair it with other spring-blooming shade plants like hostas, ferns, and bleeding heart for a fresh, layered early-season display.

Double Take® Scarlet Storm Flowering Quince transforms the early spring garden with extravagant, fully double scarlet-red blossoms that cover every thornless stem before the leaves emerge. Bred for improved garden manners — completely thornless and easy to place near walkways, foundations, and mixed borders — it’s a far more civilized choice than old-fashioned flowering quince. Once the flamboyant spring display fades, clean green foliage carries through summer; warm orange and yellow tones emerge in fall for a second season of interest. Deer, rabbit, pest, and disease resistant, it asks only for a sunny spot with good drainage and repays that modest investment with one of the most eye-catching spring spectacles the shrub garden has to offer.

Flame Thrower® Redbud features showy hot pink pea-like flowers with dark red calyces along the branches from early to mid spring before the leaves. It has attractive yellow-variegated lime green foliage with hints of red which emerges burgundy in spring.
