Barberry – Emerald Carousel

Emerald Carousel Barberry, Berberis ‘Tara is a shrub that has showy clusters of yellow flowers in spring along its arching branches. These blooms produce bright red berries that will persist into the winter. The dark green foliage turns an outstanding red-purple in fall. It is easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soil in full sun. Tolerates light shade, but Emerald Carousel Barberry needs full sun to develop best foliage color. This very adaptable shrub is tolerant of many pollutants in urban areas and tolerates drought, but will not perform well in poorly drained, wet soils. It has no serious insect or disease problems. Use as a hedge, barrier plant, foundation plant, shrub border or small groupings in the landscape.

Viola – Johnny-Jump-Up

The Viola Johnny-Jump-Up, ‘Viola tricolor are very cheery flowers that you can eat. Nothing, we repeat nothing, is as charming as a patch of Johnny Jump Ups poking their heads above the snow. This Viola exhibits 3/4 inch purple and yellow flowers. Violas bloom best during cool weather and in cold climates, this means spring through early summer and fall. In warm climates, this means winter, spring and fall. Summer Viola plants tend to get ragged and stretched out and become slow blooming. Plant new Johnny-Jump-Ups Violas then and replace the old onesPlant the Johnny Jump Up in normal garden soil and keep them well watered but not soggy. Place them in full sun or very light shade, because too much shade will cause the Violas to get leggy. Plant the King Henry Viola in early spring about 2 weeks before last average frost date. In warm climates plant in late summer for fall and winter blooms. They look great planted in mass as a ground cover and with bulbs. The edible flowers can be used for salads and other dishes.

Pieta – Med.-Italian Marble Statue

8Wx4.5Dx10.5H inches Made out of Bonded Carrara Marble.Must stay indoors. Italian Marble StatueItalians have always been known for their remarkable art and design. In addition to their original sculptures and other fine art they are also known for their detailed marble castings. Accents in the Garden now offers these beautiful Italian statues for your home. We hope you enjoy our selection as much as we do.How are they made? This fine statuary is created by reconstituting real Carrara marble (approximately 70% marble and 30% resin). This allows for exceptional detail that would be very difficult (if not impossible) to sculpt from a solid block of marble. Some sculptures are supported by a genuine black Carrara marble base to give it the elegance it deserves..Available Finishes: Nature already provides a natural off-white finish. We wouldn’t want to cover up what is already perfect. Therefore, these pieces are left unfinished.
