Princess Diana

It was my biggest splurge of last spring. I was installing all new plant material in the front of our house and I wanted something that would provide a little instant gratification. So I paid four times what I would have for a smaller specimen and bought the six-foot-tall 'Princess Diana' amelanchier.

I actually threw my back out twice loading, unloading and planting that shrub. But, today, I think it was all worth it.
