Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Embothrium coccineum chilean flametree The Chilean flametree is stunning in late spring/early summer when it covers itself with bright scarlet flowers, tiny red ribbons. This protea relation is an excellent garden plant, evergreen in mild winters, deciduous when the temperature spends any time in the teens F. A slender tree, to 25 ft eventually in full to part sun, with regular water. Loves cool ground so best in a north aspect and/or with ground covering plants to protect the roots. No phosphorous fertilizer! Cold hardy to USDA zone 7b. 6in @ $18 Proteaceae Erigeron 'WR' wayne roderick daisy Cheerful, long-blooming perennial, discovered by and named for plantsman Wayne Roderick, and coveted for the large lavender-blue, daisy-like flowers that cover the foliage in spring through fall, rising above the 1 ft tall x 2 ft wide clumps of foliage. Deadhead for consistent flowering. More heat tolerant than others, these like morning sun to light shade and at least occasional summer water for the best growth. Frost hardy to USDA zone 7b. 1g @ $14 Asteraceae Eucalyptus parvula small leaf gum, kybean gum An extremely well-mannered, small tree, often multi-trunked, growing slowly to 35 ft or so with a broad, graceful form, somewhat flat-topped with age. Narrowly oval adult leaves of 2-3" -- deep, matte green with purple and blue overtones -- follow the rounded juvenile foliage. The bark is colorful as well, brown peeling to pink and green patches. These tolerate drought and somewhat poor drainage, though well-drained soil is best in full to part sun. Frost hardy to 5 F, mid USDA zone 7. Can resprout from the base. 6D @ $18, 5g @ $42 Myrtaceae Eucalyptus pulverulenta 'Baby Blue' Silver-blue leaves coat this small tree, somewhat slowly to 10-15 ft tall, sometimes multi-trunked, with a rounded form and a horizontal branching habit assisted by some careful pruning. Outstanding in the garden, blooming at a very early age with white, showy flowers. Leaves are extremely aromatic and useful in flower arrangements. Sun, lean and well-drained soil with little summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8, resprouting easily from the ground in upper USDA zone 7. 1g @ $12 Myrtaceae Farfugium japonicum 'Argenteum' An evergreen form in cultivation for many years though never common, this slow grower for dappled shade and moist soil produces 6-8" delicately rounded leaves streaked dark green and white. Great plant for containers or to add brightness to a shady spot. Frost hardy and evergreen to mid USDA zone 8; regrows in spring with mulch in zone 7. 6in @ $16 Asteraceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 112
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Fatsia japonica 'Spilt Milk' A Cistus introduction found as a seedling with lustrous green leaves edged and splashed cream and white. Particularly vigorous and happy in shade to morning sun, with consistent moisture for best variegation. Evergreen, multistemmed shrub to 10 ft with panicles of white flowers followed by black berries. Bold specimen for tropical effect, great in a container. Upper USDA zone 7. 2g @ , 5g @ $47 Araliaceae Ficus aff. heterophylla DJHS 4307 This, one of several forms revolving around or closely related to this lovely fig, was shared with us by plantsman Dan Hinkley, its having been successful for several years in his garden near Seattle,WA. To 6 ft or more and deciduous with red-tinted stems and long, narrow leaves, lobed toward the end and also tinted an orange-red in sun. We have found it to be an endearing texture in our garden. Has been frost hardy to 12F in Washington so we are rating this as at least low USDA zone 8 though relatives have sailed through mid zone 7, often resprouting vigorously from the base. We here at Cistus have a “thing” for the genus ficus so we are very happy with this one. Seems to tolerate quite a bit of drought but we push our along a bit with extra summer water and at least half sun for best stem and leaf color. 5g @ $47 Moraceae Firmiana simplex chinese parasol tree Parasol tree, native of southeast China to Japan. Tropical-looking, deciduous tree, in the chocolate family, to about 20-30 ft under garden conditions with few but thick branches on a stout trunk of bright green bark and huge leaves -- 18" to even 2 ft across, like giant maple leaves -- on vigorous plants. A perfect addition to the tropical garden. Small, greenish flowers and pleasing lemon-yellow fall color, for us in late Nov. and Dec. Prefers evenly moist soil and good drainage; loves a little organic matter and regular summer moisture; though somewhat drought tolerant, the leaves would be smaller. Too seldom offered. Fine throughout USDA zone 8 with many specimens found growing in zone 7; a freezeback plant in USDA zone 6. Robust gallon plants. 5g @ $42 Malvaceae Fremontodendron 'San Gabriel' flannel bush Wonderfully fuzzy leaves and deeply saturated golden yellow flowers -- to 5 in. across on this variety -- in mid to late spring. HEAT, SUN, DROUGHT. It thrives on them, demands them, won’t do well without them. This clone, a cross between F. californicum and F. mexicanum reaches to 12-18 ft tall and wide so allow lots of space. Avoid watering after the first summer. Blooms on previous year's wood. Frost hardy to 5F, mid USDA zone 7. 5g @ $47 Malvaceae Fuchsia magellanica 'Aurea' This hardy, small flowered fuchsia has the familiar purple and pink flower, but its foliage is a warm glowing yellow, especially when its happiest in moist half sun. Tends to be lower (to 3 ft or so) than other selections. Handsome. USDA zone 7 with mulch to protect the crown. A die-back shrub at lower temperatures. 4in @ $11 Onagraceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 113
