<p>This blueberry is a fairly new variety to the market and has already become one of my favorites!&nbsp; Most blueberries have a loose, or what I like to call "wild", growth habit and can get quite large.&nbsp; However, Sunshine Blue is a very compact and dense, smaller growing variety.&nbsp; This blueberry typically grows 3-4' x 3-4' and likes to be grown in moist yet well drained soil in a full sun area.&nbsp; It's smaller size and well-branched habit make it excellent for small yards, courtyards, and even containers.&nbsp;&nbsp; Sunshine Blue produces an abundance of self-pollinating flowers along the stems.&nbsp; These flowers later develope into large tangy fruits with as little as 150 hours of chill.&nbsp; The foilage of Sunshine Blue is semi-evergreen and takes on a pinkish hue during the winter months. All of these charcteristics make for a very attractive plant.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Blueberries are also an excellent source of antioxidants!&nbsp; They are best when picked fresh for pancakes, cereal, or smoothies!</p>]]></content><author><name>Panoramic Farm</name></author></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[Lookin' Good--Winter Interest]]></title><id>http://www.panoramicfarm.com/blog/post/lookin-good-winter-interest</id><updated>2012-02-03T13:46:58-05:00</updated><link href="http://www.panoramicfarm.com/blog/post/lookin-good-winter-interest" type="text/html"/><summary><![CDATA[Plants are already blooming in our office garden!]]></summary><content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I was strolling around our garden this morning and realized there was a Hamamelis 'Wisely Supreme' blooming.&nbsp; The more I looked around, the more plants and blossoms I noticed.&nbsp; There is so much to appreciate about a winter garden!&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1. Most Likely to Succeed (Toughest Plant) -- Dwarf Yaupon Holly -- You can plant this sucker anywhere and watch it flourish!</p>
<p>2. Most Creative (Unique Grower) -- Zydeco Twist Black Gum -- Each branch on this tree has it's own character!</p>
<p>3. Most Outgoing (Spreading Plant) -- Little Dipper(TM) Cotoneaster -- This guy will stay as low as anything and really cover some ground.&nbsp; (Not pictured)</p>
<p>4. Most Bashful (Slow Grower) -- Goshiki Osmanthus -- Although it can get large, this one is as slow as they come getting there.</p>
<p>5. Most Likely to Change (Seasonal Difference) -- Limeglow Juniper -- The difference between new spring growth through winter color is extremely dramatic.</p>
<p>6. Best Nickname (Common Name) -- Strawberry Daiquiri Red Twig Dogwood -- Who doesn't love a Strawberry Daiquiri!</p>
<p>7. Most Fashionable (Best Flower) -- Morning Glow Camellia japonica -- There is nothing like the flower on a formal-double Japanese Camellia.</p>
<p>8. Most Popular (Most Requests) -- Kaleidoscope Abelia -- Do I need to say anything more?</p>
<p>9. Workaholic (Good Screening Plant) -- Green Giant Arborvitae -- A great dense choice for blocking those nosey neighbors!</p>
<p>10. Biggest Hermit (Good Container Plant) -- Cephalotaxus harr. 'Fastigiata' -- A more sophisticated choice than Sky Pencil Holly.</p>]]></content><author><name>Panoramic Farm</name></author></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[Unconventional Christmas Trees ]]></title><id>http://www.panoramicfarm.com/blog/post/unconventional-christmas-trees</id><updated>2011-12-02T14:37:03-05:00</updated><link href="http://www.panoramicfarm.com/blog/post/unconventional-christmas-trees" type="text/html"/><summary><![CDATA[Plant one of these beauties to decorate year after year...]]></summary><content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Christmas tree lots are on every corner (more common these days than the corner coffeehouse)&nbsp;and those trees can be seen in the front windows of most homes across the city.&nbsp;&nbsp; I am a BIG fan of a fresh cut tree, since I have gotten one every year since I can remember. As a child, I also remember decorating a tree in the front yard every year.&nbsp; My Mom and I would string popcorn and put lights on any plant that had a Christmas tree shape. &nbsp;</p>
<p>This year I am planting my own Unconventional Christmas Tree.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have narrowed down my list of options, and have posted pictures of them here.&nbsp; Please help me pick my Christmas Tree!&nbsp; I would love your feedback!&nbsp; I will be popping popcorn this weekend, while I anxiously wait for your responses.</p>

There are many more I could mention so check later for more options!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1. Acer 'Bihou' - Bright coral to yellow stem and trunk color.</p>
<p>2. Carex 'Evergold' - All Carex's make beautiful evergreen grasses.&nbsp; This is one I prefer to use in container gardens because of the creamy white stripe and soft appearance.</p>
<p>3. Chamaecyparis 'Verdoni' - Unique growth habit with yellow tipped foliage.</p>
<p>4. Cornus Arctic Fire(TM) - Richly colored red stems really stand out against other evergreen plants.</p>
<p>5. Cornus Yellow Twig - Yellow stems make a statement against "blue" conifers.</p>
<p>6. Cornus 'Cardinal' - Bright coral-red stems can be cut and used in christmas decorations.</p>
<p>** All Cornus stems are green/brown during growing season, then change color as night temperatures drop in the fall and winter.</p>
<p>7. Corylus Harry Lauder's Walking Stick - Twisted stems and catkins that bloom in early spring add extra drama to any landscape.</p>
<p>8. Ilex 'Red Sprite' or 'Winter Red' - Red berries can be used as decorations and provide food for the birds.&nbsp; Don't forget to put a male pollinator like 'Jim Dandy' nearby.</p>
<p>9. Mahonia 'Winter Sun' - Sunny yellow blooms in late winter/early spring develop into grape colored berries.&nbsp;</p>

This is our twist on that.....]]></summary><content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Ahhh, Senior year of high school...some of us want to remember it, some don't.&nbsp; I was looking through my yearbook the other day and an idea hit me, Senior Superlatives for plants!&nbsp; Those of us in the industry sometimes refer to plants as if they were people and this could be a fun way to look at plants.&nbsp; Each of us in the office will take a turn at this over the next few months so keep checking back to find out what traits each of us see in our plant picks.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I have been racking my brain trying to come up with the funniest list that would make you laugh everytime you thought about it.&nbsp; Then I tried to pick serious things that would make the most sense and be the most effective plants for every landscape.&nbsp; And finally I decided to relax and pick some plants that I have used in my landscape and some that I want to use in my landscape.&nbsp; Once I came up with the plant list the superlatives just came naturally.&nbsp;</p>
<p>1. Cutest Couple-- These two will never be far from each other in the landscape.</p>
<p>2. Most Likely to be Remembered -- Just like it says, once you run into this one it is hard to forget.</p>
<p>3. Most Unique -- It has a "twisted" sense of humor and seems a little wild.</p>
<p>4. Most Graceful -- If it were a person, it would be a dancer because of the way it moves in the wind.</p>
<p>5. Biggest Showoff -- Can be a screening plant, OR a corner piece AND it blooms.</p>
<p>6. Most Carefree Spirit -- Kinda reminds me of the hippie chicks in school.</p>
<p>7. Biggest Flirt -- This one just wants you to fall in love, great long lasting blooms and easily maintained.</p>
<p>8. Best Dressed -- A tidy plant with a wonderful fragrance.</p>
<p>9. Most Outgoing -- A good spreader that likes to mingle. Vibrant and colorful.</p>
<p>10. Most Dramatic -- Everytime I look at this one I see a silent movie scene with the damsel in distress with her hand to her forehead.&nbsp; To me that is the epitome of dramatic.</p>
<p>I hope you have gotten a good laugh and become interested in a new plant.</p>]]></content><author><name>Panoramic Farm</name></author></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[Week 43 Photo Gallery & Featured Plants]]></title><id>http://www.panoramicfarm.com/blog/post/week-43-photo-gallery-featured-plants</id><updated>2011-10-21T09:17:11-04:00</updated><link href="http://www.panoramicfarm.com/blog/post/week-43-photo-gallery-featured-plants" type="text/html"/><summary><![CDATA[Capitalize on your fall planting at Panoramic Farm!]]></summary><content type="html"><![CDATA[Fall is definitely upon us!&nbsp; We had our first signs of &lsquo;spotty&rsquo; frost this morning with low temperatures in the upper 30&rsquo;s.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s quite different from the 80&rsquo;s we enjoyed earlier in the week but it&rsquo;s a welcome change for those of us who live for the brilliant colors of autumn and the brisk cool air that accompanies it.&nbsp; Although it&rsquo;s a joyous event to watch the world come alive in the spring, there&rsquo;s something quite peaceful and special about watching the landscape begin to change and prepare for a winter&rsquo;s nap.&nbsp; We hope that everyone will take time during the crazy planting season to take a deep breath and enjoy the beauty that is the fall season.
