Several nice forms and selections of this showy Great Plains native are available, with image-conjuring names like 32 ENVIRONMENT Cercis canadensis ‘Forest Pansy’ seen from below, a scintillating reminder of the power of backlighting.
Handsome as a rounded hedge or a boxy specimen, V. japonicum ‘Variegatum’ earns its street cred from dappled yellow-on-green leaves alone, its flowers and fruits an added but unnecessary bonus.

White clusters of remarkably fragrant flowers span nearly five inches in diameter, a guaranteed treat on a rare shrub that prefers light shade from blistering southern suns and shelter from desiccating winter winds. Viburnum plicatum ‘Popcorn’ is a prince among its kind and a fine shrub for gardens in zone 5 and above, with a reputation for avalanches of snowy white flowers in mid- to late spring.
