Not surprisingly – this is a landscape design blog, after all – I often post about plants that I use when designing landscapes in northern Virginia, Maryland, and DC. Here is a listing of everything profiled so far:

• Beautyberry (Callicarpa)
• Burning Bush (Euonymus alatus ‘Compacta’)
• Japanese Cedar (Cryptomeria japonica)
• Golden Rain Tree (Koelreuteria paniculata)
• Japanese Andromeda (Pieris japonica ‘Mt. Fire’)
• Justin Brouwer Boxwood (Buxus x ‘Justin Brouwer’)
• Chinese Fringe Tree (Chionanthus virginicus)
• Otto Luyken Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus ‘Otto Luyken’)

Here are some posts about groups of plants for specific needs or conditions:
