Japanese Maple 'Dissectum Garnet' The beautiful, dark red leaved Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum 'Garnet Dissectum') shrub is very striking in any garden. Distinctive for its magnificent, slender, dark red leaves. The fabulous colourful foliage of this hardy ornamental shrub looks wonderful on the patio or decking. As it grows fairly slowly it is very suitable for small gardens and can even be planted in a spacious pot or tub. Good resistance to the cold. Height supplied 30-40 cm.
Rhododendron 'Purple Gem' Dwarf, low, compact mound shape, growing 2–5″ a year. Masses of tiny blue-purple flowers in May. Very small blue-green leaves turn bronze in winter. New growth is bluish green. A Guy Nearing hybrid, sister to Rh. ‘Ramapo’. (-18°F, UM). Rhododendrons prefer rich, humusy, acidic soil that drains well. Sandy or dry soil, as well as heavy clay, should be amended before planting by adding peat moss, peat humus, or compost.
