Some of the choice selections offered by the UT Gardens, Knoxville include the following:

Kosmic Kale

This hard to find perennial Kale is hardy to 10 degrees F and is a beautiful nutritious addition to the garden. It grows up to 3' tall and when winters are mild, it can live for years in the garden!

Chocolate Fountain® Mimosa

This mimosa is the only purple foliage weeping Silk Tree on the market. It is a small tree, well adapted to smaller spaces or containers. Grows up to 15-feet tall and wide. The fern-like deep purple foliage combined with the pendulous, weeping habit makes this a very special and unique plant. An added bonus is the delicate pink flowers that form in summer. Chocolate Fountain® is tough, trouble-free, and drought-resistant in the landscape.

Carolina Sweetheart™ redbud

A new tricolor variegated redbud which leafs out as a deep burgundy to bright pink-red. As the leaf matures to a rich green, a creamy white marginal variegation shows itself on the tree. New growth of pink-red to burgundy continues across the tree, giving this tree an excellent tri-color appearance. Even before the leaves pop out, gorgeous light pink flowers cover this vigorous growing tree. Carolina Sweetheart™ may reach 20-30 ft in height by 30ft in width. Nothing else on the planet like this!

Rising Sun™ Redbud

Abundant pea-like rosy-lavender flowers appear early spring before foliage. Heart-shaped deep apricot leaves appear and mature through shades of orange, gold and yellow with all colors present at once! Foliage turns a shade of lime green in the summer heat. Resists heat and burn. Grows 12-feet tall and wide.
