In small gardens short rows under 25 feet save space and ease cultivation. Rows at 25 feet or less simplify work, reduce waste from overproduction, and allow frequent rests. Taller crops require more distance, while contour planting on slopes keeps rows parallel to slope.
Pruning timing depends on flowering style. Shrubs bearing blossoms on new wood in late spring are cut in late winter or early spring. Those blooming on old wood are pruned after flowering. Remove one or two older canes at ground level to renew shape and encourage proper branching. Avoid “haircut” trims except for hedges.

The catalog includes Astilbe varieties such as Bridal Veil and Bremen, lilies, salvias, scabiosa, clematis, penstemon, liatris, and helenium selections with color notes.
