Get ready to debate! Are the flowers on Bloomerang Purpink^® a lovely shade purple or are they pale pink? We couldn’t decide, so we combined them in the name to let you decide. The real conversation starts when you see just how many blooms it puts out in the spring and again later on in the summer. It’s one of the most prolific rebloomers in our series, which is saying something! It belongs in a highly visible spot in your garden, like near a front door or by your driveway.

‘Roundabout’ is a compact, green garden orb. Perhaps its color is better described as viridian, a sort of bluish green. Whatever color you perceive, it is a super hardy, symmetrical addition to the garden, like a spherical topiary that never needs shearing. Slow growing with needles in perfect scale to its small size, ‘Roundabout’ is a winner for today’s smaller landscapes. Loves full sun and well drained soil. ‘Roundabout’ was discovered at Iseli Nursery as a witch’s broom growing on Picea pungens ‘Green Spire’.

Larix decidua ‘Puli’ is an elegant alternative to the common L.d. ‘Pendula’. When staked, its slender branches create a narrow silhouette that is more dense and lighter green than ‘Pendula’. If unstaked, ‘Puli’ branches spread out slowly along the ground and make an effective ground-cover. Very attractive in gardens with an Asian aesthetic.
