The Dogwood Appalachian series was developed by UT to provide our region with powdery
mildew and anthracnose resistant dogwoods. Featured cultivars that will be available are ‘Appalachian Joy’, ‘Appalachian Spring’, ‘Appalachian Blush’, and ‘Appalachian Snow’.
Oakleaf Hydrangeas, cultivars ‘Ruby Slippers’ and ‘Munchkin’ feature
robust bloom sets that stay upright with heavy rains. Both cultivars provide fall interest with the leaves changing from green to burgundy.
'Sweet
Tea' Mountain Gordlinia is a new and hard-to-find hybrid of the Franklin Tree and Lolly Bay which has improved disease resistance and cold hardiness. Blooms
July - September and is semi evergreen.
