Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Grevillea juniperina 'Lava Cascade' Fabulous and exciting grevillea, a low, fine-textured, ground cover, to 18" x 5 ft+ with abundant clusters of coral-red flowers hanging from the branches from fall through spring, charming amongst the needle-like foliage, less sharp in this form. Happily, survives temperatures to nearly 10F with little damage. Drought tolerant once established in lean soil. Should NOT be fertilized with phosphorus or potassium. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8; perhaps upper 7. 1g @ $16 Proteaceae Hebe 'Silver Dollar' One of the sweetest hebes around, a glaucophylla type with rounded leaves tinted powder blue and attractively streaked with cream and pink variegations. Evergreen, to only about 2 ft tall and wide, the form is dense and the colors striking. Spring flowers are pale lavender adding even more color. Hebes need good drainage in sun to part sun with summer water. Also one of the hardier hebes, easily accepting USDA zone 8 and fine in zone 7 in the best conditions. 3D @ $6, 1g @ $12 Scrophulariaceae Hedera canariensis 'Variegata' A "good" ivy! With all the suspicions surrounding the genus hedera in our part of the world, there are several species -- quite aside from the offending H. helix -- that have no proven desire to spread to our wildlands. Hedera canariensis is one. A bold foliage, the leaves, to over 6" are heart-shaped and cream-streaked, the variegation becoming tinted pink in cold weather. For ground cover or trellis, a bold texture for the subtropical garden. Drought tolerant though thrives with summer water. For full sun to shade in nearly any drainage. Frost hardy in mid to upper USDA zone 7. 1g @ $12 Araliaceae Helwingia chinensis - narrow leaved form This shrub, thought originally to be rather petite, has grown to 12 ft or so (which we suppose is petite next to a large elm). Brought to us as a collection from Dan Hinkley, the plant has graceful, narrow leaves on long arching stems, the leaves remaining evergreen but colored various tones of purple and burgundy especially in winter and again in warm season’s new growth. The most unusual flowers are like little white champagne bubbles, fused to the tops of the leaves where blue fruit forms. Very pretty for a background spiller in the shade garden with summer water in dry climates. Can be easily cut back and maintained under 4 ft. Frost hardy in upper USDA zone 7. 2g @ $28 Helwingiaceae Jasminum officinale 'Aureum' poet's jasmine Unusual and exciting variegated poet's jasmine, a plant we brought home from Britain a number of years ago, having been struck by the foliage, green with warm yellow splashes, and the bare winter stems, green with yellow stripes. Our larger plants have reached 12 ft and and make a wonderful show spilling over fences or mixed with other vines. Summer flowers are white and sweetly fragrant as in other cultivars. Best in light shade to full sun with consistent summer moisture. Frost hardy to 5F, mid USDA zone 7. 1g @ $14 Oleaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 114
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Jubaea chilensis - seed: CA chilean wine palm Amazingly large trunked palm native to both sides of the Central Valley of Chile. Historically harvested for sweet sap used to make an alcoholic beverage. Semi-hardy in the Northwest; the trick is to give it enough heat accumulation for it to grow! These from 100 year old Northern California trees that have gone through 8F, upper USDA zone 7. 15g @ $285 Arecaceae Juniperus cedrus canary islands juniper Endangered in its native habitats, the Canary Islands and Madeira, this evergreen conifer grows quickly to 20 -30t tall by 10-16 ft wide, becoming a tall and broad tree with blue-gray-green needles and slightly pendulous branch ends. Handsome in sun to light shade where soil is well-drained and not amended with organic matter. Drought tolerant once established, requiring deep watering during the first year and occasional deep watering in subsequent summer. Frost hardy to at least 10F, and reported lower into zone 7. 2g @ $24 Cupressaceae Leptospermum namadgiensis alpine tea tree One of the nicest tea trees to come to us in a long time, this shared with us by Paul Bonine of Xera Plants and named after Namadgi National Park on the Australian Capital Territory/ New South Wales border. Only found in the late 80s growing on thin soils at high elevations and introduced to us recently. To 3-4 ft tall with small, shiny, evergreen leaves and spring flowers, white ever so slightly tinted pink, for sun to dappled shade. To us the most striking feature is the bark, peeling in sheets to a light orange. Plants in the garden should be lifted to expose this lovely feature. Good hedging or container plant and rather drought tolerant in the ground. Has been tested so far in this country to as low as 5F with no damage, therefore a confidant USDA zone 7b. 2g @ $24 Myrtaceae Loropetalum chinense 'Chiboriba' A new and striking loropetalum, the leaves variously variegated or mottled with red, green and white -- pick your favorite -- and the flowers pink and occasionally bi-color pink and white, appearing in late winter to spring. More compact than others, to only 4 ft tall or so and as wide. Best in part shade inland or full sun in cool coastal climates with summer water. A little overhead protection helps keep flowers safe of late frosts. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8 and into upper zone 7. 2g @ $32 Hamamelidaceae Magnolia figo var. skinneriana Handsome evergreen tree, once in the genus Michelia and now classified with Magnolias. To 15-30 ft, with fragrant, creamy flowers in early summer. Thrives in sun to part shade with consistent moisture. Has proved to be one of the hardiest to cold of the michelia grouping within the Magnolias, accepting USDA zone 7. 5g @ $52 Magnoliaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 115
