See what’s in bloom … and enjoy the beauty of our Gardens.
Complex by nature, chrysanthemums are divided into 13 classifications, each representing a distinct flower form. Even a chrysanthemum flower itself is intricate and multifaceted, as each is composed of hundreds of florets, or small flowers. ‘Heather James’ features a true spherical bloom equal in breadth and depth. These well-balanced beauties have petals (ray florets) that smoothly incurve and form a ball shape, curving tightly up.

Fothergilla gardenii
Mature at about three feet tall, this native shrub is deer resistant and has fragrant white, bottlebrush blooms in the early spring. Dwarf fothergilla is relatively low maintenance and is hardy in zones 5 to 8. It prefers full sun to light shade and moist, well-draining soil. The shrub has beautiful fall foliage in shades ranging from yellow to dark red and is a good companion to dwarf conifers, rhododendrons and azaleas.
