Articles written by us for you, Happy Planting!

We absolutely love living and growing our plants in USDA planting zone 7.  We are so lucky in that we can plant almost any time of the year, even in the dead of winter. Here in planting zone 7, our soil rarely freezes therefore we are lucky enough to have root growth throughout the fall and winter. Cool season root growth helps our new fall or winter plantings survive the following summer season.

The Spreading Japanese Plum Yew, also known as Cehpalotaxus harringtonia 'Prostrata', is the perfect choice for those large barren shady spots. This groundcover is evergreen, grows neatly and uninteresting to deer.
