The Cary Award


In 2017 the award goes to Fragrant or Korean Abelia (Abelia mosanensis), and Gold Cone Juniper (Juniperis communis ‘Gold Cone’).
Fragrant or Korean Abelia (Abelia mosanensis) The Korean Abelia is grown for its pest and disease resistance, tolerance of shade, hardiness and, most of all, it’s delightfully fragrant, soft pink flowers.
		Gold Cone Juniper (Juniperis communis ‘Gold Cone’) This evergreen conifer (cone- bearer) forms a tight spire which reaches to 8’-10’ tall, and remains a mere 18”-20” across. When the new growth emerges in the spring it is a lovely bright yellow green – a color which settles into a soft green as summer wears on.
