Small clusters of creamy white flowers appear in late spring, followed by white berries often tinged with blue that ripen in late summer and feed songbirds and small mammals. In fall the foliage turns shades of orange, red, and purple before dropping to reveal the shrub's fiery bark. It spreads by underground stolons and root suckers to form dense colonies, making it a popular choice for stream banks, rain gardens, and wet or boggy sites where few other shrubs thrive.
Wire-netting Bush
Corokia cotoneaster
Corokia cotoneaster, commonly known as the wire-netting bush or korokio, is a small evergreen shrub endemic to New Zealand. Prized for its distinctive divaricating growth habit — a dense tangle of wiry, interlacing branches — it produces small silver-grey, ovate leaves with felted undersides that shimmer in the breeze. In spring and summer, star-shaped yellow flowers appear along the branches, followed by ornamental red, orange, or yellow berries that persist into winter. Slow-growing and remarkably tough, it tolerates coastal exposure, wind, drought, and frost, making it a favorite for hedging, rock gardens, containers, and bonsai.
Ice Plant
Corpuscularia lehmannii
Corpuscularia lehmannii, popularly known as the Ice Plant or String of Buttons, is a compact, perennial succulent from the Aizoaceae family, native to the Western Cape region of South Africa. It forms small clusters of fleshy, cylindrical leaves that are slightly translucent at the tips, featuring a grayish-green to bluish hue that resembles grouped "fingers" or buttons. In late spring and early summer, it produces small yellow daisy-like flowers that open during the day under sunlight. It is a slow-to-moderate growing plant, highly drought-resistant and low-maintenance, making it ideal for rock gardens, shallow pots, and succulent arrangements.
Pampas Grass

Common Hazel
Corylus avellana
Common Hazel (Corylus avellana) is a deciduous shrub or small tree native to Europe and Western Asia, from the British Isles to the Caucasus and Turkey. It typically reaches a height of 3–6 meters with a broad, multi-stemmed growth habit, forming dense thickets and hedgerows. The leaves are round to oval with doubly serrated margins and a characteristic rough texture; in autumn, they turn golden yellow. The female flowers are remarkably discreet – only the bright red stigmas are visible from the closed buds – while the male catkins hang in long, yellowish-green clusters and are a sure sign of early spring. The hazel is one of the earliest spring shrubs in the Northern European landscape. It flowers as early as January to April, before the leaves emerge, and is pollinated exclusively by wind. Its fruits are the well-known hazelnuts, which ripen in clusters with a cup-shaped involucre in September–October. The nuts are rich in fat (up to 60%), protein, and vitamin E, and have been an important food source for humans in Europe since the Stone Age. Hazel grows at forest edges, in hedgerows, scrublands, and along watercourses, and is a key species for biodiversity: its early pollen is crucial for bees, and it hosts the larvae of over 70 butterfly and moth species. The shrub is extremely hardy and adaptable; it thrives in almost all soil types, from sandy soil to clay, and from sea level to the mountains. It spreads naturally via suckers and can be effectively rejuvenated by coppicing – a traditional management method that both extends the shrub's lifespan and produces flexible, pliable wood suitable for weaving (hazel rods). In Denmark, hazel is a characteristic element of oak forests and scrublands throughout the country.
Turkish Hazel
Corylus colurna
Corylus colurna, the Turkish hazel, is a large deciduous tree native to southeastern Europe and Asia Minor. Recognized for its symmetrical pyramidal form and outstanding tolerance to urban conditions, heat, cold, and drought, it produces edible hazelnuts enclosed in distinctive hairy husks.
Giant Filbert
Corylus maxima
Corylus maxima, the giant filbert, is a vigorous deciduous shrub or small tree native to the Balkan Peninsula and parts of southeastern Europe and southwestern Asia. Closely related to the common hazel (Corylus avellana), it is distinguished by its edible nuts enclosed in a long, tubular husk that extends well beyond the shell. Grown both for its nut harvest and, in purple-leaved cultivars such as Purpurea, as an ornamental garden specimen, it produces striking pale yellow male catkins in late winter that are among the first signs of the growing season.
grey hair-grass
Corynephorus canescens
Grey hair-grass is a perennial, densely tufted grass from the Poaceae family, typically growing 15–30 cm tall. It has narrow, bristly, grey-green to silvery-blue leaves and produces delicate, silvery panicles with a purplish tint in June to July, whose awns have a characteristic club-like shape (hence the Czech name). It is a typical pioneer species of wind-blown sands and open sandy grasslands – in the Czech Republic, it grows scattered in warmer areas of central and northwestern Bohemia (Polabí region) and in South Moravia. It tolerates extreme drought, poor soil, and large temperature fluctuations, and is therefore valued as an undemanding ornamental grass for rock gardens, gravel beds, and containers.
