10 Exciting New Plants in 2021
Another season in the landscape is on the horizon! Now is a great time to trial plants that are new to the market, new to our inventory, or new in a larger quantity. Find a mix of new, unique, and native plants this upcoming season, including a new JN original Spirea developed by Johnson's Nursery and Mike Yanny. 'New’ to us is also something people don’t have and is relatively new to our industry. Firespire® Musclewood was released 15 years ago, but we would consider that plant ‘new’ as well.
If you have your heart set on any one plant, call and pre-order yours today. We do our best to constantly stock a variety of sizes, but new plants do sell out quickly. Visit our Public Inventory to see what's available. If you don't see one of these on availability now, you will sometime this season. Inquire sooner than later!
Not all these items have been received by our farms and may not appear on our online inventories yet. They will. Feel free to call and inquire ahead of the rush.
| #10 | Cytherea Peony |
|---|
Large, intense coral-rose-colored, 6-inch wide, bowl-shaped, semi-double flowers on sturdy, upright stems. Bloom color softens as they age, creating a simultaneous bouquet of colors ranging from deep French rose to pale peachy pink.

| #9 | T Rex Hosta |
|---|
An enormous hosta with a lush foliage mound of epic proportions. This garden giant produces extremely large, slightly corrugated, undulating, green leaves. Relatively slow growing, given time and growing room in a shady spot, it is certain to become king of the garden.
New to market.
| #8 | Neon Burst™ Dogwood |
|---|
Attractive chartreuse leaves keep their color in the sun and summer heat. New leaves are tinged with bronze and the stems have a rich red hue early in the season. In the fall, foliage becomes a rainbow of purple, red, yellow and orange with stems turning glossy scarlet red in the winter.

| #7 | Kodiak® Orange Bush Honeysuckle |
|---|
Orange new growth and glowing orange-red fall foliage. Adaptable to most soils, including dry ones. Bright yellow flowers in early summer add to its appeal. A durable plant that thrives in sun or shade, it's drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and can even grow in dry shade.

| #6 | Fire Light Tidbit™ Hydrangea |
|---|
The tiniest, tidiest panicle hydrangea yet! White mophead flowers appear in early summer and develop tones of pinks and reds as the season progresses. Dozens of full mophead flowers atop strong stems. Fertilize in early spring as the ground begins to thaw.
New to market.
| #5 | Whorled Milkweed |
|---|
Small, white flowers in clusters that reach 3" across in summer. It is distinguished from other milkweeds by its smooth, needle-like, whorled leaves arranged on a generally unbranched stem. In fall the gray-green foliage turns yellow to orange, and the pencil thin seed pods are very decorative. An excellent food source for butterfly larvae.

An improved version of the very popular My Monet® weigela. New color, more flowers, and better adaptability, while sharing all the charm. Variegated cream and mint green foliage takes on purple (as opposed to pink) tones.
