HAPPY FACE® Orange Potentilla
It’s been a very cold, very snowy winter here in Michigan. A couple weeks ago our temperatures dropped to below 0 degrees Fahrenheit! 🥶 While extreme cold is not ideal for our gardens, some plants fare better through cold weather than others. We refer to these plants as super cold hardy. Pictured here is HAPPY FACE® Orange Potentilla. This native shrub holds up impressively to cold temperatures, so much so that it is hardy down to zone 2!
Great shrubs for in front of house
Looking for a plant that gives you spring and fall color? FIZZY MIZZY® might be for you!

In the fall it turns to shades of burgundy and red. It's a great shrub for in front of your house. Exposure: full sun to full shade Hardiness zones: 5-9

Have you heard about the new “cascading” Buddleia for 2025? Mop Top™ Buddleia is a 2025 introduction by Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Shrubs and has a unique look different from other buddleia.

Camellia JUST CHILL™ Double Mauve - Garden Crossings
How I wish I could grow this plant! Our garden hardiness zone is a 6a and JUST CHILL™ Double Mauve Camellia is rated for zone 7-9 (6b if protected). Let me just give you a few stats about this shrub. This is an evergreen in southern zones, it flowers in the fall and is deer resistant! It grows 5-8 tall and 3-5 wide. This would make for a great hedge or even just a specimen plant. If you are looking to add fall and winter interest into your garden and you live in zones 7-9, Plant this!
Temple of Bloom® Heptacodium
Probably my favorite thing about Heptacodium is its peeling bark. I’ve been training this shrub into tree form for a couple of years now. Every fall I come out & give the bottom branches a significant trim so that you can see more of the beautiful peeling bark and the stems.⁠ ⁠ This is the Temple of Bloom® Heptacodium which we planted about 2 years ago. I’m excited to continue to see how it grows and fills out in the garden - it has already put on significant growth in height this past season. ⁠
