Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Cornus capitata 'Mountain Moon' chinese evergreen dogwood An extremely high elevation collection of this exciting broad-leaved evergreen, Chinese dogwood, to 20 ft or so moderately fast. Pure white flower bracts, large, 6" or more in diameter, and abundant in late spring, are followed by showy, somewhat edible, red fruit. Best in full to half sun with average summer water. From the mountains of Bhutan, introduced by Piroche Plants in 1992, these are frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 5g @ $47 Cornaceae Corokia cotoneaster Evergreen, divaricating shrub from New Zealand, our hardiest selection of this odd little dogwood relative collected from a garden in Eugene, Oregon. Silver gray stems with tiny leaves and, in spring, tiny, fragrant, yellow flowers. To 8 ft x 8 ft in time. Full sun to part shade with good drainage and summer water. Frost hardy to USDA zone 8. 2g @ $22 Argophyllaceae Corokia x virgata 'Orangerie' A Cistus introduction. Though we would like to say this lovely plant is a result of years of careful hybridization under tightly controlled circumstances, we actually found it growing on the floor or one of the greenhouses as a tiny seedling...but we are willing to take full credit. This grows as other C. x virgata forms, to a 6-8 ft shrub, but with a more upright form and butter-yellow aging copper-orange leaves with reflective, nearly white, undersides. In the garden, some summer water, the foliage showing warm yellow in light shade to deeper orange in sun. Very good container specimen. Great when planted with burgundies or other dark foliage plants. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 2g @ $24 Argophyllaceae Corokia x virgata 'Sunsplash' Yellow splashed foliage on this 6-8 ft, evergreen dogwood relation from New Zealand. Tiny yellow flowers in spring. Sun or part shade and normal water. Cold hardy to USDA zone 8 with leanish soil. Makes a cheerful and bright screen or garden accent. 5g @ $42 Argophyllaceae Corokia x virgata 'Sunsprite' A Cistus introduction, this is one of two all-yellow seedlings that have occurred in our nursery -- we wish we could say through great effort and hybridization, but no....we just found it in the pathway. For an all-golden plant it is quite vigorous with nearly black stems and sunny yellow leaves that, with bright light, turn a bit orange bronze at the base. Cheery yellow flowers in spring with reddish fruit late in the season if another Corokia happens to be nearby. Might protect from the harshest light in hot summer areas. Wonderful sculptural garden or container plant especially when paired with silver or tangerine colors. Bottom of USDA zone 8 with leanish soil. 5g @ $42 Argophyllaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 136
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Coronilla valentina ssp. glauca 'Citrina' Evergreen Mediterranean shrub in the pea family growing to 3 ft and spreading even wider. Frilly, dissected blue-green leaves make a lovely texture. The fragrant flowers are somewhat paler in this hybrid, but equally floriferous throughout the early spring and into summer. Enjoys sun, good drainage, and a bit of summer water, though quite drought tolerant. Lean conditions for compactness. Easily trimmed to shape. Frost hardy to USDA zone 8. 2g @ $18 Fabaceae Coronilla valentina ssp. glauca 'Variegata' Variegated form of an obscure plant, though hopefully not for long -- obscure that is.... A Mediterranean shrub, rewarding not only for its soft, blue-streaked-white leaves, but also its canary yellow flowers from late winter through mid-spring then sporadically through the rest of the year. Strongly sweet smelling and most rewarding planted near a path where the foliage stands out and the fragrance can be enjoyed. Quite summer drought tolerant in dappled shade to bright sun. Lean conditions create more compactness. Frost hardy to USDA zone 8. 4D @ $12 Fabaceae Cupressus macrocarpa 'Citriodora' golden monterey cypress This Monterey Cypress selection from the United Kingdom has luscious, dense foliage, both lemon-colored and deliciously lemon-scented. Somewhat smaller than other forms, this one can reach 20 ft tall eventually, but is easily kept smaller and maintained as a large shrub by pruning or perhaps through hedging. Best in full sun in well-drained soil, these need little summer water once established. Frost hardy to 10F, USDA zone 8. 2g @ $24 Cupressaceae Cupressus macrocarpa 'Saligna Aurea' weeping monterey cypress One of our most sought-after plant. A stylish, weeping tree, to 20 ft, open and dripping with corded, rope-like branches and bright yellow foliage that is fragrant when crushed or even brushed. Stands along as an architectural specimen or fits well in a woody border. These are on their own roots, so no need to worry about suckering. Full to part sun and not much summer water once established. Cold hardy to 10F, USDA zone 8. 5g @ $57, 15g @ $225 Cupressaceae Cupressus sempervirens 'Swaine's Golden' Fabulous form of the Italian cypress, to 15 ft or more, with bright yellow-dusted-blue-green foliage. Like its cohorts, very drought tolerant. We us it in our garden as an accent surrounded by lots of blue and dark green foliage. it's been around for awhile, but unfortunately seldom offered and, for us, a bit slow and difficult to root. Full sun. Careful drainage. Can easily be shorn or tied should it become shaggy looking. USDA zone 8; quite possibly zone 7 with a protected south wall. 2g @ $32 Cupressaceae Cynara baetica ssp. maroccana This Moroccan artichoke’s silver grey foliage is arresting in the mixed border. Tall stalks of purple thistle flowers push it over the edge. A must-have, hardy perennial for full sun and not much water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 6in @ $11 Asteraceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 137
