whereas the fertile flowers age a golden yellow, hence the name.
Hydrangea serrata 'Crûg Sõ Cool' BSWJ6241b
One of four selected seedlings originating from one of our seed
collections gathered from the Mt. Unzen area of Kyushu, Japan in
1998. Of a very floriferous small form of this amenable deciduous
lacecap species hydrangea, bearing corymbs of strong blue lace-cap
(pink in acid soil) flowers May-October. The sterile florets
deepening in colour with age, availing us with a cool blue effect.
While the foliage ages to a purple cast if exposed to sun, as in the
field where we grow the mother plants, which are still only 1.3m
(just over 4ft) tall without pruning at around 12 years old.
Polygonatum odoratum 'Flatmate' BSWJ857
Originating from one of our 1993 collections gathered from coastal
pine forested (at that time) sand dunes of the Mallipo Peninsular, on
the west cost of South Korea.An upright form to around 80cm tall
with green stems, reddening with exposure to sunlight.The stems
being very distinctly flattened like the cross section of a propeller,
translucent towards their edges. While the leaves are on the large
side to 15cm long on the largest, oblong to ovate glaucous white
below, the base of the leaf clasping half the stem, the petioles
indistinct.The flowers are the normal fragrant white green tipped
as seen on this species.
P. hirtum 'Robustum'
Is a robust form of this species with hirsute arching ribbed stems
capable of forming stems to 1.2m long in good conditions. Bearing
alternate elliptic-ovate to orbicular ribbed leaves noticeably glossy
above, on clasping petioles with axillary racemes of up to 4 pendant
tubular white green-lobed flowers late April-May.
P. multiflorum 'Ramosissima'
Is a strong growing form of this European species, that the long
slender tubular flowers with recurving lobes are normally borne in
slender few flowered pendant racemes. By contrast in this named
form they produce stronger plants with strongly arching stems to
1m long of alternate leaves bearing from their axils, strong multi
flowered racemes of flowers on mature plants sometimes leafy,
during May and June.
Reineckea aff. carnea 'Crûg's Linearleaf' BWJ8029
Originating from one of my plant collections gathered from
Longzhoushan Sichuan with Dan Hinkley in 2000. Of a very
distinct form (some including myself believe there are more than
one species) of this evergreen woodland perennial closely related to
lily of the valley.The form we are allocating this cultivar name arises
from long to very long underground slender rhizomes, to tufts of
linear grass-like dark green leaves more reminiscent of Ophiopogon
