Fragrant sumac, a native shrub with dense foliage. Leaves consist of three leaflets, while suckers gradually create a spreading mass. Red-orange fall colours and hairy red fruits bring interest to a slope or dry edge. Because the species is dioecious, fruit production requires female shrubs with appropriate pollination, rather than simply planting any single seed-grown specimen in the garden.

Common snowberry with its decorative white berries. The rounded white fruits develop after the small pinkish flowers that appear in early summer. Flexible branches and deciduous foliage suit informal hedges and naturalistic edges. Some birds can feed on the berries, but they are mildly toxic to people. Their ornamental appearance should therefore be understood as a visual feature, rather than an invitation to eat them.

Eastern white cedar, a native conifer with green evergreen foliage. Its scale-like evergreen leaves cover the flattened branches throughout the changing seasons. The young conical outline broadens with age, distinguishing a seed-grown tree from some regularly clipped hedges. Plan its long-term position before planting. The foliage shelters wildlife and may be browsed by deer in winter, so describing the tree as guaranteed to resist browsing would be misleading.

Giant ironweed flowering, a tall native perennial with purple blooms. Its robust flowering stems can rise above the surrounding large perennial neighbours. Purple clusters and lance-shaped leaves create a focal point in flowering meadows and at the back of borders.
