  Japanese Yew (Taxus cuspidata) is a versatile evergreen shrub or small tree known for its dark green, needle-like foliage, dense form, and adaptability. Native to Japan, Korea, and parts of China, Japanese Yew is prized for its elegant appearance and ability to provide year-round color and structure to landscapes. Its soft, finely textured foliage creates a lush, green backdrop, and mature plants often develop attractive red berries (arils) in the fall on female plants, which add seasonal interest and attract birds. Japanese Yew can vary in size depending on the variety, with some types reaching heights of 10 to 40 feet, while dwarf cultivars stay more compact, around 3 to 5 feet. This plant thrives in USDA zones 4-7 and grows well in partial to full shade, though it can also handle full sun in cooler climates. Japanese Yew prefers well-draining soil and has moderate drought tolerance once established, making it well-suited for various landscape settings. Low-maintenance and slow-growing, Japanese Yew requires little pruning to maintain its shape, though it can be trimmed more frequently if used in formal hedges or topiaries. This hardy plant is resistant to deer and many common pests, which adds to its appeal as a reliable, long-lasting choice for borders, hedges, foundation plantings, or even as a standalone focal point. With its year-round foliage, graceful form, and adaptability, Japanese Yew is a classic addition to both traditional and contemporary garden designs.

  Wax Myrtle (Myrica cerifera), also known as Southern Wax Myrtle or Southern Bayberry, is a versatile, fast-growing evergreen shrub or small tree admired for its aromatic foliage and natural resilience. Native to the southeastern United States, Wax Myrtle has narrow, lance-shaped, olive-green leaves that emit a pleasant fragrance when crushed. In fall, female plants produce clusters of small, waxy, bluish-gray berries along the stems, which provide food for birds and wildlife throughout winter. The berries have historically been used to make bayberry candles due to their high wax content. Wax Myrtle can grow between 10 to 20 feet in height, with a similar spread, though it can be pruned to maintain a smaller size or shaped into a hedge. This shrub thrives in USDA zones 7-10 and is adaptable to a variety of soil types, including sandy, acidic, and poorly draining soils. Wax Myrtle is drought-tolerant once established and highly resistant to salt, making it well-suited for coastal landscapes and xeriscape gardens. It performs best in full sun to partial shade. Low-maintenance and pest-resistant, Wax Myrtle requires minimal pruning, though it can be trimmed in late winter or early spring to shape and control growth if used as a hedge or screen. It is also deer-resistant and helps with erosion control, making it a practical choice for naturalized settings, slopes, or privacy screens. With its fragrant foliage, wildlife-friendly berries, and tolerance to challenging conditions, Wax Myrtle is a valuable addition to both formal and informal landscapes, bringing beauty and functionality year-round.

  Texas Sage (Leucophyllum frutescens), also known as Cenizo, Texas Ranger, or Silverleaf, is a hardy, drought-tolerant shrub prized for its silvery-gray foliage and vibrant blooms. Native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, Texas Sage produces beautiful purple, lavender, or magenta flowers after periods of rain or humidity, often creating a stunning display in the late summer and fall. The blooms are tubular, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies, and contrast strikingly with the plant’s soft, silvery leaves. This shrub typically grows 3 to 6 feet tall and wide, though it can reach up to 8 feet in ideal conditions. Texas Sage thrives in USDA zones 8-11 and prefers full sun, where it will produce the most prolific blooms and dense foliage. It is highly adaptable to various soil types, including rocky, sandy, or alkaline soils, as long as they are well-draining. Texas Sage is also highly heat- and drought-tolerant once established, making it perfect for xeriscaping and low-water landscapes. Requiring minimal maintenance, Texas Sage can be lightly pruned to shape, especially in spring, but it generally maintains a neat, rounded form. It is resistant to pests and diseases, adding to its popularity as a low-maintenance choice for landscapes. Texas Sage is commonly used as a hedge, border, or specimen plant, adding both color and texture to desert, southwestern, or coastal garden designs.

  Gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides), also known as Cape Jasmine, is an evergreen shrub cherished for its exquisite, creamy white blooms and intoxicating fragrance. Native to Asia, Gardenia is popular for its large, waxy flowers that bloom from late spring through summer, filling gardens with a rich, sweet scent. The flowers stand out beautifully against the plant’s dark green, glossy leaves, creating a classic and elegant appearance. Gardenia typically grows 3 to 8 feet tall and wide, though dwarf varieties are available for smaller spaces and container plantings. This plant thrives in partial shade to full sun, preferring morning sun with afternoon shade in hotter climates. It is hardy in USDA zones 8-11, though it can be grown in cooler zones as a container plant that is brought indoors for winter. Gardenias require well-draining, acidic soil rich in organic matter and benefit from regular watering, as they are not drought-tolerant. To maintain its shape and encourage blooming, Gardenia may need light pruning after its flowering period. It can be sensitive to pests like aphids and spider mites, as well as soil pH, which should be kept slightly acidic to prevent yellowing leaves. Despite these care requirements, Gardenia’s stunning flowers, delightful fragrance, and glossy foliage make it a prized choice for hedges, borders, and accent plantings. Ideal for gardens with a touch of formality or as standalone statement plants, Gardenias bring timeless beauty and aromatic charm to any landscape.
