The hardy ornamental shrubs, honeysuckle, lilac, mock-orange and spirea Van Houttii can be grown here. |
Gambel oak, rock spirea, and waxflower are typical understory shrubs and slender wheatgrass, Canada bluegrass, and Parry oatgrass are common grasses in the MC zone. |
Spring-flowering shrubs include such popular plants as forsythia, deutzia, lilac, viburnum, mock-orange and spirea. |
In fact, attempt to train a spirea and the chances are that you will spoil it. |
Just at dawn, in a dew-drenched thicket of spirea, I found three nests not six feet apart. |
Here, centipede grass, multiple shade trees, and spots of forsythia and spirea provide a subtler but still spectacular garden show. |
