Viburnum rufidulum Drought Tolerant 'Santa Rosa' carries dark green

'Santa Rosa' carries dark green leaves that are notably leathery

in the first warm reach of spring

and by the time they reached Europe and the American South they had already been refined into thousands of named forms

and this male plant does double duty: solid evergreen structure and the pollen a fruiting female clone requires

Geranium maculatum has made a home for as long as the forests have stood
