* Tibouchina urvilleana 'Variegata'<br />
This variegated form of a hugely popular, Brazilian exotic has handsome and unusual, velvety leaves with mixed<br />
colors ranging from pale, gray-green through yellow-green to dark green, with narrow white edging and hints of<br />
coral! The summer flowers are normal, if huge clusters of violet-purple flowers can be said to be normal. Bound<br />
to wow everyone. Full sun or part shade with regular water and fertilizer and mulch for winter protection. Root<br />
hardy to mid USDA zone 8 but flowers too late to enjoy. So where temperatures drop into the 20sF, best in<br />
containers kept dryish and protected in winter to blossom early the next year. Otherwise a great houseplant.<br />

Melastomataceae<br />
Tigridia pavonia tiger flower<br />
Beautiful irid widespread in Mexico, these high elevation collections produce 4” flowers of orange to dark<br />
yellow. Loves most garden conditions provided some summer water where dry. Will go happily winter dormant<br />
in the 20s F but resprouts again in spring, especially if mulched….even lower, to 10F, USDA zone 8, with more<br />
mulch… but there has to be a limit… Sun to dappled shade, spreading freely into attractive clumps. Good in<br />
containers.<br />

green. Fragrant yellow flowers add to the attraction. Can be kept as a mounding shrub as well. Light shade is<br />

work. It is a standout in the rock garden or in the open garden. Rarely flowering, its evergreen leaves are very<br />
handsome, especially with the slightly crinkled finish to them. Best in full to part sun with summer water. Frost<br />
hardy in USDA zone 7.<br />

Apocynaceae<br />
Trachelospermum asiaticum ‘Nagaba’<br />
Hardy flowering jasmine, to 10 ft or so, for trailing or climbing a wall, variegated foliage, marbled in white, green<br />
and red. Very nice. Flowers are fragrant and creamy. Full sun for best bloom but part shade is fine for foliage.<br />
