Plants Post
Occasionally, I'll write on a selection of plants that I've recently featured on a project. One of the projects I've been working on in South Carolina uses a combo of the plants I've highlighted below. The plant palette that I am using on that project is mostly grasses and junipers but also some interesting plants used as accents throughout the landscape.
Thunderhead Pine

This evergreen tree gets to be about 10-15' tall but I really like the visual interest it provides. Especially with grasses, it definitely grabs your attention.

Buttercup Winterhazel

This is a slow growing deciduous shrub that likes dappled shade at most. It grows to about 4-6 feet in height. However the best part are the hanging bell shaped flowers it produces in late winter early spring.
Whirling Butterflies (Oenothera lindheimeri)

Whirling butterflies are a perennial that will grow to 24 inches in height and like full sun. It has a long blooming season, spring-fall. The flowers are unique in that the look like a bunch of little pinwheels adding a sense of movement in the landscape when you plant them in long drifts.
Side note: The buttercup winterhazel is difficult to find for some reason. So if you are ever out at a nursery and see one, buy it! That opportunity does not come often.
