A plant for all seasons
This upright winter dazzler boasts bright red berries that provide color in early winter after the leaves have fallen off. The plant grows in sun or partial shade and a rich, well-drained soil, although it tolerates swampy areas. It has a moderate growth rate once and once established, it can tolerate extended periods of drought (though it would appreciate an occasional drink when times are especially dry). Winterberry is dioecious, so both male and female plants are needed for fruit production. They make festive additions to your holiday décor or flower arrangements. An added bonus? The fruits are often eaten by birds as the winter season progresses.
Turf Alternatives - Warm season grasses and wildflowers offer options
Rising energy costs and evolving attitudes have inspired a number of people to reduce or eliminate their lawns and pastures in recent years. Increasingly, they have been turning to warm season grass and wildflower meadows as an alternative. J.W. Townsend, Inc. has participated in the creation of several of these meadows this spring. We are excited to be a part of these projects and are currently monitoring their development and effectiveness as an alternative land management strategy.
