Re: dwarf evergreens Posted by erk120 on April 30, 2008, 18:57:10, in reply to "dwarf evergreens" How about Andromeda polifolia? Its common name is bog rosemary. It is an extremely tough plants and will survive in a varity of conditions, it is evergreen with blue-green leaves and pink flowers it has a very small shrub habit and I think will work well for your situation!  Post a Response

Re: dwarf evergreens Posted by janet on April 30, 2008, 20:52:41, in reply to "Re: dwarf evergreens" I was wondering if you could identify this plant by description. I pass it everyday going to work, I've never seen anything like it. 5 x 5 approximately...round habit small upright medium to light green leaves, and blush white/pink tips...I can't tell if it's going to flower into something or if the tips just stay that color. Don't know how I haven't noticed it before this year. Leaves are matte and look like they are soft in texture.  Post a Response

Re: dwarf evergreens Posted by Joe K on May 1, 2008, 10:03:39, in reply to "Re: dwarf evergreens" I'm sure that I could identify it if you could send or post a photo of it. Most likely its Salix 'Hakura Nishiki' based on your description but I'm not sure.  Post a Response

Re: dwarf evergreens Posted by lk on May 1, 2008, 21:42:37, in reply to "Re: dwarf evergreens" there are some junipers that we have at the nursery ,perhaps they might fit the bill. i would choose a nandina. there are compact varieties that remain short. how about an acuba. not blue but nice.
