Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Kerria japonica 'Albescens' white japanese kerria Deciduous shrub, enjoyed especially for its single flowers with oddly shaped petals in creamy, pale yellow. To 6 ft tall and wide, but easily trimmed, these are lovely in early to mid spring when covered with flowers. Fine in part shade to full sun with occasional summer water. Said to be deer resistant. Frost hardy to -30F, USDA zone 4. 2g @ $24 Rosaceae Kerria japonica 'Variegata' - dwarf form Not your grandmother’s Kerria. This dwarf form, from Siskiyou Rare Plants, has green leaves edged and splashed white and single, bright yellow flowers in spring on a very restrained, deciduous shrub - to only 2-3 ft tall and wide. Tough and dependable in full sun to half shade with summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 4. 1g @ $14 Rosaceae Leucothoë fontanesiana 'Rainbow' Choice American native Ericaceae - mostly about foliage: evergreen leaves infused with crimson when new, pick up splashes of cream, green & pink later on. Long chains of white spring flowers followed by blue berries. Arching habit to 3 ft. Half sun & normal water seems best. Can be ‘hedged’ by control freaks. Frost hardy in USDA zone 4. 1g @ $10 Ericaceae 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 @ $11 Montiaceae Lewisia cotyledon [mixed seedlings] One of northern California and southern Oregon’s most beautiful native wildflowers. These are seedlings and can be expected to produce an eye popping range of flower colors, the exact color unknown for individual plants but all should be charming. The evergreen rosettes are handsome as well, offsetting slowly to add more plants and more color. Give these sun and excellent drainage and enjoy the show. May go deciduous in too much heat or cold, but they are frost hardy in USDA zone 4. 3D @ $6, 4D @ $7 Montiaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 10
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability 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. 5g @ $15 Caprifoliaceae Magnolia stellata 'Royal Star' royal star magnolia Star magnolias are a frequent sight in early spring with their showy and fragrant white flowers; 'Royal Star' is a popular cultivar with even larger and showier flowers and a slightly later bloom time that helps avoid frost damage to early blooms. A small deciduous tree, slow growing to 10-15 ft x 8-10 ft, these are best in rich, well-drained soil, with regular summer water and dislike extreme conditions, e.g., too dry or too wet. Perfect for a specimen tree or an informal hedge. Frost hardy in USDA zone 4. 5g @ $57 Magnoliaceae Opuntia 'Achy Breaky' This complex undoubtedly three way hybrid (O. polyacantha x O. erinaceae v. columbiana x O. fragilis) from the mountains of eastern Oregon (where everyone know things get a little wild) grows only to 6" or so in height and about 3 ft wide, sporting white rust and deep brown spines along with chartreuse and yellow, late spring flowers, and provides interest in both texture and compactness. As is true for one of its parents, O. fragilis, the pads easily detach and connect to anyone or thing walking by. Good for sharing with friends; not so great in regions prone to violent shaking. Cactus requirements -- lean soil, good drainage, and little to no summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 4. 4D @ $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 Opuntia 'St. Johns Giant' A seldom encountered hand-me-down, having popped up in old North Portland neighborhoods, this undoubtedly is a natural hybrid between the western native O. polyacantha and O. macrorhiza, with long oval pads to 12" or more with decorative whites, sometimes black spines and yellow flowers, orange-centered with age. A bold architectural plant in clumps to 3-4 ft. Probable hardiness to USDA zone 4, -30F. Sun and good drainage the only necessities. 2g Cactaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 11
