Origins & Description

The Red Osier Dogwood (Cornus sericea), sometimes called red-twig dogwood, is native across much of North America. The ‘Baileyi’ cultivar is a particularly vigorous selection prized for its bright red stems that intensify in winter.

In spring, the shrub produces flat-topped clusters of creamy white flowers that attract pollinators. These are followed by clusters of bluish-white berries in summer, which are loved by birds. Fall brings a bold display of reddish-purple foliage, and when the leaves drop, the brilliant red stems take center stage, glowing against snow or evergreens.

The shrub forms a full, rounded shape and naturally suckers, creating dense thickets if allowed—perfect for erosion control or wildlife plantings.

Origins & Description

The American Hazelnut is native across much of the eastern and central United States, thriving in woodland edges, thickets, and prairies. It is highly adaptable, making it an excellent choice for naturalized areas, edible landscapes, or as a hedgerow plant.

In spring, it produces yellow-brown catkins (male flowers) that dangle from bare stems before the leaves emerge. By late summer, rounded clusters of edible nuts form, each enclosed in leafy husks. These nuts are smaller than those of European hazelnuts but equally delicious, with a sweet, rich flavor prized by wildlife and people alike.

The foliage is broad, slightly heart-shaped, and turns bright yellow to orange-red in fall, adding ornamental appeal to the landscape.

Ideal Growing Conditions (Southeast Wisconsin Focus)

• Light: Full sun to part shade. Plants in full sun produce more nuts, while part shade works for ornamental plantings.

• Soil: Tolerates a wide range, from sandy loam to heavier clay. Prefers well-drained, fertile soils.

Heritage Hill Nursery carries this standout selection:
👉 Shop Arnold Promise Witch Hazel

Origins & Description

Witch hazels are native to both North America and Asia, with hybrid forms (Hamamelis × intermedia) bred to combine the best traits of their parent species. ‘Arnold Promise’ was introduced by the Arnold Arboretum in Massachusetts and has since become a classic late-winter bloomer for northern gardens.

This deciduous shrub grows in a graceful, vase-shaped form, eventually reaching 12–15 feet tall and 10–12 feet wide. The standout feature is its fragrant, spidery yellow blooms, appearing in late February or March. Flowers often overlap with snowmelt, making them a rare source of early-season color and nectar.

In autumn, foliage turns brilliant shades of golden yellow, extending its ornamental value. The bark and branch structure also provide winter interest, making Arnold Promise a true four-season shrub.

Ideal Growing Conditions (Southeast Wisconsin Focus)

• Light: Full sun to part shade. Best flowering occurs with at least 6 hours of direct sun.

• Soil: Prefers loamy, well-drained soils, rich in organic matter. Avoid heavy, poorly drained clay.

• Moisture: Evenly moist soil is ideal. While established plants tolerate some drought, consistent moisture supports stronger blooms.

Mature Size: 3–4 ft. tall × 3–4 ft. wide
Habit: Rounded, bushy, continuous-blooming shrub rose
Flower Color: Bright, bubblegum-pink single to semi-double blossoms

Introduction

For gardeners in Southeast Wisconsin who love roses but dread the fuss, the Pink Knock Out® Rose offers the perfect solution. This vibrant, carefree shrub rose blooms abundantly from late spring until the first frost, filling the garden with cheerful pink color for months on end. Unlike traditional roses that demand constant spraying and pampering, Knock Out® roses are known for their disease resistance, self-cleaning blooms, and low-maintenance appeal.

You can find the Rosa Pink Knock Out® right here at Heritage Hill Nursery:
👉 Shop the Pink Knock Out® Rose

Origins & Description

Introduced in the early 2000s as part of the world-famous Knock Out® family, the Pink Knock Out® rose quickly became a favorite for homeowners and landscapers alike. It maintains all the durability of the original red Knock Out® but trades the fiery hue for a soft, bubblegum-pink blossom.

Each flower opens as a single to semi-double bloom, roughly 2–3 inches across, with five to ten petals and a sunny yellow center that draws the eye. The flowers appear in clusters, and because they are self-cleaning, spent petals drop naturally — no tedious deadheading required. Its glossy green foliage provides a handsome backdrop, staying healthy and fresh even in humid Wisconsin summers.

The shrub grows into a neat, rounded mound about 3–4 feet tall and wide, making it versatile enough for borders, foundation plantings, or container gardens.

Ideal Growing Conditions (Southeast Wisconsin Focus)

• Light: Full sun (6–8 hours daily) is best for heavy bloom production.

• Soil: Prefers well-drained loam enriched with organic matter. Adaptable to clay or sandy soils if drainage is improved.

• Moisture: Roses like consistent soil moisture. Water deeply once a week, especially in summer. Avoid overhead watering to keep foliage dry.

• pH: Neutral to slightly acidic soils (6.0–6.8) are ideal.

• Hardiness: Reliably hardy in Zone 5. In especially cold winters, a light mulch mound over the crown helps protect against freeze–thaw cycles.

Planting & Establishment

Best Planting Times:

• Spring (May–June): Gives the shrub the longest growing season to establish before winter.

• Early Fall (September): Roots continue to grow even as the air cools, helping prepare for next spring.

How to Plant:

1. Dig a hole about twice as wide as the container and the same depth.

2. Place the plant so the crown sits just above the soil line.

3. Backfill with soil mixed with compost.

4. Water thoroughly and mulch with 2–3 inches of organic mulch, keeping it away from the crown.

Care & Maintenance

• Watering: Provide 1 inch of water per week, more in drought. Water at the base of the plant.

• Feeding: Fertilize in spring with a balanced, slow-release rose fertilizer. For continuous performance, a midseason boost in July keeps plants blooming strong.

• Pruning: In early spring, cut back by about one-third to shape and encourage fresh, vigorous growth. Remove any dead or damaged canes at this time.

• Deadheading: Not required — the plant self-cleans. However, light trimming can keep the shrub especially tidy.

• Pest & Disease: Excellent resistance to black spot, mildew, and rust. Minimal pest issues when grown in proper conditions.

• Winter Care: In late fall, mound mulch or shredded leaves around the crown for extra insulation in exposed sites.

Landscape Uses & Companions

• Foundation Planting: Use as a cheerful accent near walkways and entryways.

• Mass Planting: Plant in groups for a pink carpet effect that lasts all summer.

• Mixed Borders: Combines well with other sun-loving perennials like salvia, coneflowers, and daylilies.

• Containers: Excellent for large pots — try pairing with trailing plants like sweet potato vine or lobelia for contrast.

• Pollinator Gardens: Open flowers attract bees and other pollinators.

Seasonal Care Calendar

• April: Remove winter mulch, prune by one-third, and fertilize.

• May–June: First bloom flush; water consistently.

• July–August: Continuous flowering; apply a midseason fertilizer boost if desired.

• September–October: Last flush of flowers; water until the ground freezes.
