Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Cinnamomum japonicum - blue leaf form Yet another fantastic broadleaved evergreen tree, reaching an eventual 30 ft with a narrow pyramidal form. Our original plant was plucked from a particularly blue-leaved specimen in Nanjing China. The narrow leaves have attractive parallel veins and are dark and shiny above with a reflective blue beneath. Clusters of pale yellow flowers appear in late-winter and spring. Sun or dappled shade with occasional summer water in dry areas. One of the hardier camphors, it has withstood USDA zone 7 temperatures with little damage. A fine garden tree or courtyard tree. 7g @ $125 Lauraceae Cinnamomum porrectum - Cliff Parks Coll/Avent One of the loveliest of the cinnamomums and, as luck would have it, the most frost hardy. This clone, a tree to 20-30 ft from Tony Avent's garden, has 2", quaking aspen-shaped leaves that are shiny green above and blue beneath – with, indeed the aroma of camphor where brushed or crushed. Stems, often red tinted, add to the excitement. This might be one of the best new broadleaved evergreens in … weeks. Happy if provided dappled shade to full sun and occasional summer water in driest places. Has been frost hardy – make that freeze hardy with no leaf damage -- to under 10F, uppermost USDA zone 7. 5g @ $47 Lauraceae Cistus libanotis 'Major' A vigorous and free flowering rock rose, to 4 ft, evergreen, its dark, narrow leaves creating a somewhat delicate texture. In spring, erect racemes of white flowers with red sepals appear at the end of each branch. Like the species, found growing on rocky slopes in southern Portugal and Spain, this form likes good drainage and mineral soil in full sun. Drought tolerant once established. Frost hardy to USDA zone 8. 2g @ $20 Cistaceae Cistus x pagei Stunning rockrose with a profusion of pale pink flowers from May to early July, lovely against the sage-green, aromatic foliage. Evergreen, these are upright plants but remain compact to only 4 ft tall x 3 ft wide. As with all rockrose, unamended soil is best (no compost) with good drainage in full sun. Needs little summer water once established. A hybrid of the very frost hardy C. laurifolius, the tolerate temperatures to 5F, in USDA zone 7b. 6in @ $12 Cistaceae Cleyera japonica - Platt garden form sakaki Cuttings of plants shared with us some years ago from Portland’s Jane Platt, this is an old Portland, Oregon clone that can be seen there in a very large specimen, to 12 ft, in Laurelhurst Park. The foliage, to 3”, is camellia-like, a rich, very glossy, dark green, and the down-turned flowers are creamy and fragrant. Most attractive as an evergreen screen or hedge with gracefully layered branches. Accepts full sun but the texture is most delicate in dappled shade. Occasional summer water in dry climates. Frost hardy to the upper end of USDA zone 7. 6in @ $14 Theaceae / Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 110
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Cotoneaster glaucophyllus Orange winter berries feed the birds while this small, evergreen shrub provides texture in the garden, the tiny leaves, dark gray-green with lighter undersides, on upright stems that arch with age. To 4 ft ft tall and spreading to 4-5 ft wide, but easily trimmed to any size. Pinkish-white flowers appear in early summer. Good as a small hedge or ground cover in sun to part shade. Drought tolerant once established but accepts summer water. Frost hardy in upper USDA zone 7. 4D @ $9 Rosaceae Cupressus macrocarpa 'Fine Gold' golden monterey cypress One of several golden forms of the revered Monterey cypress, this one providing not only a narrow, upright form in the garden, but also one of bright, rich yellow....and the aroma of lemon soap. An easy and fast grower to about 15 ft. Best if given somewhat lean soil, as too many nutrients make for bolting growth and instability -- at least in the plant. Fine container specimen. Wonderful as garden accent or formal element. Does not perform as well in high summer heat and humidity - e.g. Florida. Frost hardy to the upper end of USDA zone 7. 4D @ $16 Cupressaceae Cupressus sempervirens 'Glauca' italian cypress A lovely blue form of the classic Italian cypress.
