Pink and Sweet Azalea, Rhododendron viscosum 'Pink and Sweet', extends the season with color since it is a late-blooming azalea. Purplish-pink flowers have a golden flare in the throat and a spicy sweet fragrance. Striking blossoms are set off by deep green foliage that turns red each fall. These sweet azaleas are so well named since they are lovely and very fragrant. Few landscape plants are more colorful than Pink and Sweet or offer as many opportunities for your landscape. Pink and Sweet performs best in well drained, acid, organic soil that maintains a uniform moisture level all year. It grows 4 feet wide and 3 feet wide. Site selection is very important. Azaleas prefer light to moderate shade and watering newly planted azaleas is essential. This is especially true when planting in spring. Their shallow roots will dry out quickly during periods of limited rainfall. ... more information

Butterfly Bush - White The White Butterfly bush, Buddleia davidii 'Alba', is easily grown in average, medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun. This deciduous bush becomes weedy and sparse with diminished flowering performance if not grown in full sun. Does poorly in wet conditions. In USDA Zones 5 and 6, this plant will often die to the ground in winter and therefore is often grown in the manner of an herbaceous perennial. Even if plants do not die to the ground in winter, they usually grow more vigorously, produce superior flowers and maintain a better shape if cut to the ground in late winter each year. Removal of spent flower spikes during the growing season will encourage additional bloom, but consider leaving final blooms in place to facilitate reseeding.
