If you can’t resist the urge to grab your pruning shears and beautify some trees and shrubs, work with plants that are very cold-hardy and subject to few diseases - ornamentals such as spirea, snowberry, sumacs, and ninebark, and fruits such as gooseberries and currants.

Ninebark, with its rich fall tones, went in the other vase, along with the silver-gray foliage of protea lanceolate and its russet seed heads.

Ninebark, which Bobby had picked, was even less: 70 cents per pound.

Some of Prinzing’s favorites include lady’s mantle, hosta, lamb’s ears, purple basil, scented geranium foliage, heuchera and ninebark.

Soft swales of sedges and a thickening tangle of twinberry and ninebark thrive under a canopy of willow and poplar.
