Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Fuchsia 'California' Slightly serrated leaves and long flowers with a pink tube and salmon corolla make this a wonderful garden plant. Early blooming. o 2 ft tall and wide, these are best in part to full shade in rich soil with regular summer water and summer fertilizer. Plant the crown 4" deep for winter protection and provide mulch. Frost hardy to 10F, USDA zone 8. 4in @ $5 Onagraceae Fuchsia 'Gartenmeister Bonstedt' Small fuchsia, to only 18-24" tall, and very showy with largish, red-tinted foliage and long, tubular red flowers. Tolerates sun and heat -- so sun to part shade with regular summer moisture. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8 with mulch for extra winter insurance. 4in @ $5 Onagraceae Fuchsia 'Prince of Orange' This hardy fuchsia has a greenish white sepal with coral orange falls. Best in afternoon shade. Fairly upright to 3'. From Leach Botanical Garden’s Hardy Fuchsia test garden. Give a fair amount of summer water for lush growth. 4in @ $5 Onagraceae Gardenia jasminoides 'Frost Proof' The “more” gardenia -- more tough, more cold tolerant and sun tolerant, more adaptable, and said to be more deer resistant -- not to mention beautiful! Double white flowers are extremely fragrant and profuse, continuing over a long season beginning in spring. They can even take a bit of spring frost without dropping. Evergreen, to 2-3 ft tall and a bit wider, and happy in full sun to part sun with summer water where dry. Definitely frost hardy in USDA zone 8 and expected well into the upper reaches of zone 7. 6in @ $15 Rubiaceae Gladiolus 'Lemon Moon' Gladiolus hybrid from Dara Emery with lemon-yellow, trumpet-like flowers in spring held on long stems, to 2 ft tall or so, rising from clumps to 1 ft wide. A cheerful addition to the yellow offerings of spring. Best in sun to light shade where soil is well drained. Best where water is withheld after the flowering season has passed. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 1g @ $14 Gladiolus cardinalis [x] Though this gladiolus hybrid doesn't have a proper name that describes its origins, it is, nevertheless, a must have for its deep red flowers with white markings rising to 2 ft tall from dense clumps with many stems of narrow, blue-green leaves. More delicate than modern "glads", these prefer sun to light shade, well-drained soil, and little water once the summer flowers have passed. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8 and wonderful in pots. 1g @ $14 Iridaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 142
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Gladiolus x colvillei 'The Bride' A hybrid, species gladiolus, aptly named 'The Bride' for its lovely white flowers standing to 2 ft tall in early summer on stems with strap-like leaves arising from clumps up to a foot wide. Best in sun to light shade in well-drained soil with little water given after the flowering season has passed. The perfect addition to the moon garden and a fine container plant as well. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 1g @ $14 Grevillea juniperina 'Low Red' Fabulous plant with boring name, this is one of the most exciting Grevillea's to come our way in some time. From Canberra this low -- to 18" x spreading 5 ft or more -- fine-textured ground cover surprised us with fireengine-red flowers in abundance in late winter through spring and periodically throughout the year. Happily, it is among the hardiest of the genus, surviving temperatures to nearly 10ºF with little damage. Not, however, a lover of high summer humidity with heat, though particularly lean soil provides some mitigation. As with all Grevilleas, not to be fertilized with phosphorus or potassium. We have planted ours to great effect, we think, with Rosemarina officinalis 'Ken Taylor' and Ceanothus porrectus 'Emily Brown' -- all spilling over a low stone wall in full sun. Lean soil; drought tolerant once established. USDA zone 8; possibly zone 7. 6in @ $15 Proteaceae Grevillea juniperina 'Molonglo' A ground covering grevillea, to 2 ft tall x 10 ft wide adorned with deep gold flowers from fall through spring and occasionally beyond. Evergreen, it is dense and smothers weeds easily. Full sun and good drainage. Drought tolerant once established. Avoid fertilizers as with all proteas. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 6in @ $16, 1g @ $16 Proteaceae Grevillea victoriae royal grevillea Silver-leaved protea relative from Australia. This selection growing in our Cistus garden reaches 4-6 ft in time with gorgeous, thready, orange flowers all winter. Best in full sun and lean, well-drained soil with occasional summer water. As with all proteas, avoid fertilizers with potassium or phosphorous. Alfalfa pellets do very well. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 5g @ $47 Proteaceae Grevillea victoriae 'Murray Valley Queen' Winter flowering, evergreen shrub, to 6 x 6 ft, a Protea relation from southeastern Australia with frilly, orange flowers in winter and occasionally through the year. This selection was made for leaves that are green rather than the gray-silver of the species. Best in sun to part sun with good drainage and regular water until established. As with all proteas, avoid fertilizer with phosphorus. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 1g @ $15 Proteaceae Griselinia littoralis 'Variegata' Dense, evergreen coastal shrub from New Zealand with smoothly rounded, glossy green leaves edged with cream. Fast growing, dense and upright, to 4-6 ft, grown for the waxy foliage rather than the hardly noticeable flowers. Full sun with protection from cold winds. Well-drained, fertile soil and regular summer water. Excellent resistance to salt spray makes this a good coastal plant. Frost hardy to USDA zone 8. 5g @ $37 Griseliniaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 143
