New! This has been on the market since '09 and is a revolutionary breakthrough in bittersweet culture. Bittersweet is one of those vines that require both a male and female plant - but not this one! Autumn Revolution has complete flowers - meaning the flower has both male and female parts! For whatever reason, the berry is twice the size of the species and the fruit production is extraordinary - prized by florists, the florists who saw this vine were awestruck. The berries retain their color when cut and used in dried arrangements. This is a very hardy vine suitable for all parts of Wyoming. Great screening vine!

2006 Plant Select® This is a great honeysuckle vine with pale blue-green leaves and pale yellow flowers in spring, but what makes this a standout is the unique flower bracts that make the whole vine look like, as the propagator described it, “A galaxy of full moons”! Not picky about soil type! The vine was found growing over the grave site of Dr Kintzley, its Ames, Iowa officinado (and subsequently taken to Fort Collins, Colorado), hence the name!

Landscaping is an upfront cost! But consider the value that landscaping can have on your property—upwards of 30%. A few neighborhoods have mature landscapes, or are in the ‘big tree’ area in local real estate jargon and come with the inherent enhanced value and ‘curb appeal’. Most of us don’t live there though but we can create ‘curb appeal’ and enhanced value an order of magnitude above the initial expense in a few short years! Besides, landscaping has an added benefit—the pleasure derived while watching the results of your efforts grow!
Mandarin Honeysuckle (Lonicera 'Mandarin')
New! This hardy, sterile vine was developed at the University of British Columbia. Instead of flowering to produce seed and complete reproduction, it puts its' energy into making flowers and lots of them! Mandarin produces blooms of large clusters of yellow centered bright orange trumpet shaped flowers from late spring through summer. Mandarin is vigorous and can reach a height of 20 feet. It is a multi-stemmed vine that climbs by twinning itself around narrow supports like a woven fence, narrow pipe or even small branches. Very tolerant of Wyoming conditions!

Throughout this site, the following are used as guidelines for watering established plants:
These plants need regular watering somewhat like a bluegrass lawn so that they never dry to depth in the root system during the active growing season and need occasional winter watering to prevent root dessication and resultant plant death.
These plants are adapted to intermittent deep watering with soil drying to a depth of a few inches between waterings. Watering frequency may be every couple of weeks during the active growing season and maybe only one winter watering for optimal care.
These truly xeric plants can live with our 12 inches of natural precipitation and only need a winter watering during a multi-year drought but they will thrive with a monthly watering. Overwatering will kill some of these.
