Boxwoods Boxwoods are the most popular shrub grown in America.
Boxwood shrubs grow slowly and have dark green, glossy leaves. A
boxwood’s leaf shape depends on which variety boxwood it is, as there
are over 90 varieties of boxwood shrubs. While boxwoods have flowers,
they are small and insignificant. Some boxwood plants can grow up to
20 feet tall, while others remain only a few feet tall. Boxwoods are easy
to care for.

Cedar
Cedar plants are large, coniferous trees that are evergreen,
meaning they stay green year round. Since they are so large, they are
typically found in parks. Cedar trees can have a unique smell and you
may have even seen (or smelled) cedar in a closet!

Cypress Trees
Cypress trees typically have a straight trunk that tends to taper out
at the base of the tree. They are conifer trees that are deciduous,
meaning they lose their leaves each year. Cypress trees have short
needles with a feathery appearance and can often be found in swampy
areas as they grow well with lots of water. Some trees form “knees,”
which may help trees get oxygen while underwater.

Spanish Moss
Not to be confused with a nonflowering moss, Spanish moss is a
flowering plant that grows on trees, like the oak tree. The seeds of the
Spanish moss plant have feathery ends, like a dandelion plant, that helps
the seed float in the air until it finds a good spot, like another tree, to
grow.

Ferns
Most ferns thrive on little sunlight. Ferns produce spore casings on
the underside of their leaves. These look like brown spots. At some point
the casings dry out and the spores are released into the air. Ferns are
low maintenance and easy to care for.

Seeds
The seed is the embryo of a plant. Sort of like a baby plant. Seeds
come in all sizes shapes and colors depending on the type of plant.
Inside the seed is a plant embryo, food for the embryo, and a seed coat
to protect it.
Seeds may be dispersed by a number of ways including air, water,
and animals. Some seeds are light and have hairs or wings that help
them to float in the air. Other seeds can float on the water and disperse
by riding on rivers and streams. Still other seeds have tasty fruit that
animals eat and then get dispersed in the animals' droppings.
