The Dwarf Fothergilla in Court 22 on the Medford Campus is in full bloom this week. It is a native shrub, originally found in the Carolinas. Theblooms are white and resemble bottle brushes. The fall foliage is a spectacular combination of reds, oranges and yellows. Fothergilla fits into the landscape as a foundation planting or in a mixed border. This shrub was named in honor of John Fothergill, a Quaker physician born in 1712 who lived in England. You will also find this shrub on the Lumberton Campus in full bloom as well.
