Hydrangea arborescens 'Invincibelle Spirit'
'Invincibelle Spirit': the first ever pink-flowered 'Annabelle' Hydrangea. This easy-to-grow Hydrangea blooms year after year -- even in the coldest of climates. 'Invincibelle Spirit' is as hardy and adaptable as 'Annabelle' but produces an abundance of hot pink flowers from early summer to frost.
Endless Summer® Hydrangea
Endless Summer is a perpetual flowering big-leaf Hydrangea that blooms virtually all season long. And because Endless Summer® can flower repeatedly on new wood, you can be confident that regardless of whether the plant dies back to the crown or if you trim it at the wrong time, you'll still get wonderful flowers in that growing season.
Chris's Lilac Collection
These Lilacs have been growing at Chris's West Newbury, VT home for over 10 years. It is an extensive compilation of the Genus Syringa, over 165 varieties in all! We're pleased to be able to let you view a portion of his special treasures. We carry some of these varieties at E. C. Brown's. Some are rare, others are difficult to grow, and some just aren't propagated any more. Enjoy the photos and let us know if there are varieties that may interest you.
Chris's Rose Collection
Also growing in West Newbury, these roses have survived for years in a Zone 4a climate. When Chris grows a rose, he is looking for two main criteria: hardiness and fragrance. Many of these roses have both. We carry some of these roses at the Nursery. Enjoy.
