Beautiful Gardens Start at Ambleside

Customers have always been delighted with our park-like setting where TREES AND SHRUBS are displayed. Meandering paths lead through Dogwoods, Cherries, and Birches.

Ornamental trees are grouped together and include many that bloom after the Cherries and Plums and Pears. Ambleside carries American Dogwoods and the Rutgers Hybrid Dogwoods as well as pink and white Kousa Dogwoods. Other garden favorites include Redbuds (in shrubform, treeform, or weeping), Fringetrees in both shrub and tree form ( American and Chinese), Japanese Styrax and the unusual Styrax Obassia, Japanese Tree Lilacs, Stewartias, and the August blooming Golden Rain Tree.
A huge selection of Azaleas and Rhododendron offers you a spectacular range of colors and extended bloom periods. Don't miss the unusual dwarf Rhododendron varieties--Mary Fleming, Ginny Gee,  Windbeam, and Dora Amateis, the dwarf late blooming Azalea varieties-- Pink and White Gumpos,  Susan Oliver, and Flame Creeper, and the hybrid native Azaleas varieties, some of which flower into July.

For summer flowers choose from Ambleside's selection of Spirea, Butterfly Bushes--including the new dwarf 'Flutterby Petite Blue Heaven'--and Crepe Myrtles.  Ambleside's Hydrangeas include the Endless Summer and also older favorites such as Nikko Blue and the lacecap Bluebird.

Don't miss the connoisseur's corner filled with many hard to find plants like dwarf Daphnes, and dwarf and weeping Dawn Redwoods and Bald Cypresses. Look for the unusual dwarf Ginkgos, and Japanese White Pines suitable for use as bonsai. And of course, throughout the connoisseur's corner are many  rare and unusual Japanese Maples--Hupps Dwarf, Ryusen and Mikawa Yatsubusa  being some of this year's additions.

This year's collection of dwarf evergreens and rock garden gems is better than ever. Try any of the popular dwarf Hinoki Cypress varieties--Lynn's Golden, Verdoni, Mariesi, Split Rock, or Kosteri. For added accent, many of these are now available in a "topgrafted" form creating a miniature tree! Dwarf Spruces, Pines, and Cryptomerias also are perfect in the rock garden.

While not comprehensive, the following listings include much of the materials that we expect to carry this year.  In some instances, only one or two specimens of a particularly unusual variety may be available.  We try to keep this listing current; at the same time, please feel free to contact us and inquire about a special or favorite plant.
