This one make look a bit like Cousin It... but nope, it's actually Whipcord Arborvitae! A unique evergreen shrub that is a must-have with a most unusual shape and texture. We love its long, thick glossy tendrils and a distinctive cord-like texture. Gracefully arching downward, the cascading branches provide an interesting shape for the landscape. In the winter it will have a warm bronze hue. It is slow growing in a multi-branch globe shaped mound. Plant in full sun for top performance.
Scarecrows are usually designed to frighten away birds or as decorations, but at the annual McDonald Garden Center “Make-A-Scarecrow” event, they are being made to raise funds for the Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters.

Impatiens Downy Mildew is a relatively new disease problem for American gardens and now is being observed in many areas around the country. It has been confirmed this summer in Northern Virginia and Chesterfield County Virginia. Although it has not been confirmed in the Hampton Roads area, the recent rains and cooler night temperatures provide the perfect environment for disease infection. You may be experiencing early decline in your Impatiens.
