Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Schefflera delavayi In our never ending search for garden hardy evergreen Schefflera relatives, here's one that's actually a Schefflera. This Himalayan species grows eventually to 6 or 8 ft and can have leaves in excess of 2 ft with an exquisite tawny indumentum. So far has proven hardier than even Fatsia to a low USDA zone 7!! Dappled shade is best with even moisture. 6in @ $28, 2g @ $28 Araliaceae Sedum 'Chocolate Ball' A new small sedum with entirely delicious, needled foliage -- like a teeny conifer -- in dark green with hints of black in summer, adding in dark red brown -- think chocolate -- in cold weather. To only 6-8" tall spreading to 12-14" wide. A great groundcover for sun, well-drained soil, and occasional summer water for best appearance. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8; reported hardy in zone 7 and even colder. 4in @ $5 Crassulaceae Sedum dasyphyllum 'Major' corsican stonecrop Easy little sedum for rock walls, slopes or containers which adds great texture and major papillosity. Graygreen evergreen foliage and white summer flowers. Only 4" tall by 1 ft or so wide. Full sun, good drainage. Occasional summer water for best performance. Hardy to 0F or below. 4in @ $4 Crassulaceae Sedum nokoense 'Mini' japanese stonecrop Fairly new on the scene, this Japanese stonecrop from the edges of woods and rocky situation has leaves of less an 1/4" across, shiny green but reddening with summer drought or winter cold. The plants themselves rarely reach more than 1" in height and forming small mates. Any soil will do but this species needs to be kept a bit more moist than many. A great little sedum in situations too well watered for others. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 4in @ $4 Crassulaceae Sequoia sempervirens 'Steel Blue' coast redwood Coastal Redwood cultivar with small textured, steely blue foliage, bluer even than the blue cultvar 'Glauca' , becoming more powdery blue with age. Slow growing and very slow to develop and upright leader -- hence the prostrate appearance. Can be kept quite low, by pruning out any serious upright that appears, or allowed to become a stylish tree, very slow growing - say 6 ft in 10 years. Sun to part shade. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 5g @ $47 Cupressaceae Sophora affinis eve’s necklace Also known as Texas sophora, this is a very hardy, small, deciduous tree, to 15-20 ft tall and 8-12 ft wide, with dark, shiny leaves and, in spring, hanging clusters of rose and pink flowers, like beads in a necklace. As member of the pea family, the seeds are in long black pods, very decorative. Sun to part shade in any soil and little summer water once established. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 1g @ $16 Fabaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 100
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Stachyurus salicifolius Elegant evergreen shrub from China with long and narrow pointed, rain-tipped leaves on arching stems to 6-8 ft tall x 5-6 ft wide. In winter pendulous chains of white-to-greenish-white blooms tantalize for a long time from bud to bloom. Truly striking year round and wonderful arching out over banks. Morning with afternoon shade, or dappled shade with regular summer water for best performance. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 5g @ $55 Stachyuraceae Stipa gigantea Gorgeous and refined ornamental grass, forming clumps of fine, evergreen leaves, 18” tall x 3 ft wide and, in summer, 6 ft spikes of shimmering, golden flowers. Yum! Handsome in winter as well. Full sun and welldrained soil with only occasional summer water once established. Fits well with other plants. USDA zone 7. 6in @ $12 Poaceae Stipa tenuissima feather grass The feathery seed heads on this bright green tall grass, to 2 ft, make a delicate texture. Summer blooming, this is a clumping grass for full sun and well-drained soil. Useful in dried flower arrangements. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 4in @ $4, 1g @ $9 Poaceae Trachelospermum 'First Snow' asian star jasmine A Japanese selection and one of a small group of cultivars with dark-reddish leaves, especially with bright light or in cool weather, with new growth softening to nearly florescent pink and peach and cream -- and polka-dotted in contrasting colors! The plant, when grown to a large clump, vine, or cascade, indeed, looks as if it has been lightly frosted with snow. Drought tolerant though much more vigorous with reliable summer water and an occasional application of nutrients. Sun to shade with well-drained soil, though willing to growing in nearly concrete. Has sweetly scented flowers but seldom so when planted as a ground cover; only when allowed to climb or mound and it reaches its summit will the flowers appear. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 1g @ $15 Apocynaceae Trachelospermum asiaticum - bicolor variegated asian star jasmine Star jasmine with foliage beautifully streaked cream, green, and orange, this having been given by plantsman Barry Yinger to the JC Raulston Arboretum some years ago. Rather slow growing but a most attractive ground cover or container plant. Sun to part shade with occasional summer water. Has withstood winters below 0F, USDA zone 7. 1g @ $15 Apocynaceae Trachelospermum asiaticum 'Kiifu Chirimen' asian star jasmine Extremely congested Asian jasmine from the Miniature Plant Kingdom who used it mostly for bonsai & penjing work. It is a standout in the rock garden or in the open garden. Rarely flowering, its evergreen leaves are very handsome, especially with the slightly crinkled finish to them. Best in full to part sun with summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 1g @ $14 Apocynaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 101
