Retail listings 2011 by USDA zone, as of Sept 5 - please check for current availability Leucothoe fontanesiana 'Scarletta' fetterbush, dog hobble Evergreen shrub with the mysterious common name of dog hobble. Whatever the name, these are lovely shrubs, to only 3-5 ft tall and wide, with deep red new growth that matures to shiny green in summer and darkens to bronzy purple in winter. Sun adds even more red to the foliage. Spring flowers are white and fragrant. Likes moist, rich, well-drained soil. Sun to part shade with summer water. Frost hardy to -30F, USDA zone 4. 1g @ $15 Ericaceae Lewisia cotyledon bitterroot One of Northern California and Southern Oregon’s most beautiful native wildflowers. These have been hybridized into an eye popping range of colors. Nice evergreen rosettes as well. Give these plants sun and excellent drainage and enjoy the show. May go deciduous in too much heat or cold, but they are hardy in USDA zone 4. 1g @ $12 Montiaceae Lonicera japonica 'Halliana' hall's honeysuckle for a fragrant honeysuckle vine? This lonicera exudes a heady floral scent in the warm evening air, wafting out from palest-yellow flowers beginning in late spring and repeating on and off. Attracts butterflies, birds, and yes, humans too. Sun to part sun with a trellis or other support. To 15-30 ft tall and prunable. Evergreen to semi-evergreen. Easy and tolerant of neglect once established, though best with summer water. Frost hardy to USDA zone 4. 1g @ $15 Caprifoliaceae Opuntia ‘Cyclops’ Though the name has been around a long time, this plant's origins are unclear We do know this is a cute little prickly pear to 1 ft or 18" in height, probably having O. macrorhiza in its ancestry, with rounded pads of 4-6" forming tight clusters with dark bunches of spines appearing as polka dots from a distance. Cheery yellow flowers appear in mid to late spring. Good for container or sunny garden. And, as one would expect, very drought tolerant though west of the Sierra or Cascades would like a drink from the hose once in a while to spur growth. Frost hardy in USDA zone 4. 6in @ $12 Cactaceae Opuntia 'Red Gem prickly pear A gorgeous little prickly pear given to us by Colorado's Kelly Grummons and we could find no better description than this with hopefully enough credit due: "An apparent hybrid between O. basilaris or O. aurea with O. fragilis! To 4" high x 18" wide, with small, round, 2-3" wide pads that have very short spines and are fragile (pads break off easily). The petite, deep pinkish red flowers in June are abundant. Beautiful in the rock garden or in containers. Fergusen thinks this MAY be Opuntia polyacantha v. schweriniana … still a mystery." Frost hardy to -30, USDA Zone 4. 4D @ $12 Cactaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 14
Retail listings 2011 by USDA zone, as of Sept 5 - please check for current availability Opuntia basilaris ‘Peachy’ beavertail cactus This beavertail cactus, a native from the Mohave desert of California into northern Sonora, was given to us from an old Albuquerque garden and has been one of the best performers. Attractive clumps, from 3-4 ft wide and 18” in height, with 6” pads of powdery blue-tinted-pink, burgundy in winter, and, indeed, peachy pink flowers in spring and early summer. Though a clone more tolerant of garden water, they still prefer welldrained, gritty soil, especially where winters are wet …and an occasional thunderstorm, artificial or not, in dry summer climates. Frost hardy in USDA zone 4. 4D @ $12 Cactaceae Opuntia compressa [Indiana collection] eastern prickly pear Collected on stable sand dunes in southern Indiana and given to us some years ago, this is a native of the eastern and central states. Five inch, rounded pads of bright green spread to fairly dense clumps, to about 6” high and 3 ft across in as many years. Chartreuse and yellow flowers appear in mid summer. These moisture tolerant cacti also tolerate drought; they need sun and an open spot to grow. Very good container or rock garden plants spilling nicely over any edges. Frost hardy to -30F or lower, USDA zone 4. 6in @ $16 Cactaceae Opuntia fragilis (debreczyi) v. denuda 'Potato' potato cactus This variety of the fragile prickly pear from the western Colorado plateau tends to be almost entirely nekkid, not even having the tiny glochids we've come to enjoy. A favorite of rock and trough gardeners, these have round pads, to under 2", that clump to at least 3 ft wide but only a few inches in height, turning purplish in winter and producing occasional lemon-yellow flowers in mid spring. This clone shared with us by Western Colorado's Don Campbell. Frost hardy in USDA Zone 4, possibly lower. 4D @ $12 Cactaceae Opuntia fragilis SBH 6778 brittle prickly pear Lovely compact form, Sean's collection from the dry hills east of Ashland, Oregon. To only 4” or so. Slow to bloom but when they do, the flower color is deep, chartreuse-yellow. This one is capable of withstanding any amount of winter moisture -- short of submersion. Frost hardy in at least USDA zone 4. 4in @ $7 Cactaceae Opuntia humifusa prickly pear A robust ground covering prickly pear, native to much of the eastern and southern US, as far west as Oklahoma with nearly spineless green pads to 6 to 10" in height topped with bright yellow flowers and, in summer and autumn, red fruit. The pads dehydrate in autumn pulling themselves flat to the ground. Useful in containers or as spillers. Part to full sun. USDA zone 4, possibly 3. 1g @ $14 Cactaceae Opuntia humifusa - dwarf from Claude Barr This early selection by Great Plains plantsman Claude Barr grows to only 5-6" in height but forms a rather dense mat of rounded, shiny green and nearly spineless pads to about 3 ft wide. Cheery yellow flowers appear in summer followed by reddish fruit. Fabulous for planters or as spillers and easy to grow in most soil provided there is no standing water. Some summer water helps to push growth. Frost hardy in USDA zone 3 or 4. 4D @ $12 Cactaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 15
