WHAT'S IN BLOOM?
This time of year it would be shorter to list 'what's not in bloom'. However, two trees that are not that common in home landscapes (although they certainly could be) and are blooming right now are the Vitex agnus-castus 'Chaste Tree' (click here for more Vitex info) and Koelreuteria paniculata'- 'Beach Master' panicol Golden Rain tree (click here for more Rain tree info). Wouldn't this combination be perfect for the Pirate fans with one blooming purple and the other golden yellow? Both grow well here and are something to think about to compliment any crape myrtles you may be growing. Come out to the arboretum to see them in our Mixed Border and CPP area.
