Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Loropetalum chinense 'Akebono' Lovely Chinese witch hazel, shared with us by Nurseries Carolinianas, this with intense cherry red flowers in late winter to early summer and sporadically throughout the year. Lovely evergreen shrub, medium sized to 4 -6 ft tall and wide, with burgundy leaves -- darker in more sun. Great garden accent. Full sun to bright shade with consistent summer water. Overhead protection provides an extra cushion against winter cold. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 4D @ $12 Hamamelidaceae Loropetalum chinense 'Razzleberry' chinese witchhazel Striking Chinese witch hazel with purple foliage, slightly coppery and aging to olive-green, the evergreen foliage enhanced in early spring with showy fringe flowers of bright pink-red. To 4-6 ft tall and wide, these thrive in sun to part shade with rich soil and regular summer water. Best in a protected spot, out of winter winds with, perhaps, overhead protection. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 1g @ $14 Hamamelidaceae Magnolia figo 'Port Wine' banana shrub This lovely evergreen, now included in the genus magnolia, grows to 6-10 ft, with shiny, slightly leathery leaves. Needs a warm, protected spot for producing the best flowers, those delicious creations of cream inner petals and and outer petals colored a dusky port-wine -- all with an intense strawberry banana bubble gum fragrance. Sun and well-drained soil with some supplemental water in summer. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 2g @ $32 Magnoliaceae Magnolia laevifolia - large form Received as Michelia crassipes, this is clearly a steroidal form of the very lovely Magnolia laevifolia, larger in all its parts -- to 20 -30 ft tall x 10-15 ft wide with 4” leaves, the undersides clothed in coppery indumentum as are the stems and flowers buds, and abundant, sweetly fragrant white flowers in late winter and spring and often again in autumn. Successful and happy in full sun to part shade with regular summer water. Frost hardy to at least 10F, USDA zone 8. (As mentioned elsewhere, originally named Michelia yunnanensis, then Magnolia dianica, and finally, we hope, M. laevifolia.) 2g @ $67, 5g @ $67 Magnoliaceae Mahonia eurybracteata Not only one of the best mahonias to come along in years – these brought to us from Japan -- but one of the best new garden textures. Leaves, 8” to 1 ft long with exceedingly long narrow leaflets of olivey green sometimes cast in silver, give a tropical effect, not found elsewhere in the temperate world…to my knowledge. The plants grow to about 4 ft producing sprays of branches, late autumn bunches of yellow flowers, and, if we are at all lucky, bluish black fruit through winter. Excellent in containers or the light woodland garden. Unharmed in upper USDA zone 8, and root hardy into USDA zone 7. To quote Hayes Jackson, “don’t be dumb, get you some.” 2g @ $37 Berberidaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 148
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Mahonia pinnata ssp. insularis 'Shnilemoon' From the channel islands off southern California, this form named by the fabulous University of California Santa Cruz Arboretum. Makes a rounded shrub of upright branches with multiply-pinnate leaves, nearly round and the brightest spring green, held on very pretty, rather gracile, deep brown stems. All this adorned with cheery yellow flowers in late winter and spring and blue berries beyond. This is one of the most unique forms of a species native from southern Oregon to Baja. Prefers Mediterranean conditions....sorry Florida. Frost hardy to mid USDA zone 8. Tolerant and pleased with long periods of summer drought in either sun or shade. 5g @ $42 Berberidaceae Mandevilla laxa chilean jasmine Don’t be scared off by the tropical name of this deciduous, woody vine to 10-12’. They’ll grow here; butterflies love ‘em, bees and birds love ‘em, and we love ‘em when the huge white fragrant flowers appear in mid summer. Full sun in a protected position (for insurance) and regular water. Hardy to 10F, resprouting from the ground. Mulch protection helpful for young plants. 1g @ $15 Apocynaceae Mandevilla laxa 'White Star' chilean jasmine Don’t be scared off by the tropical name of this deciduous, woody vine to 10-12 ft. They’ll grow here; butterflies love ‘em, bees and birds love ‘em, and we love ‘em when the huge white fragrant flowers appear in mid summer. Full sun in a protected position (for insurance) and regular water. Hardy to 10F, resprouting from the ground with mulch protection, especially for young plants. 1g @ $15 Apocynaceae Manfreda undulata 'Chocolate Chip' Brand new and rare cultivar with striking leaves, long and narrow with wavy edges and very densely spotted with ... well, chocolate chips. This form of a Mexican native, selected by Yucca Do Nursery, is small, to 4" tall x 15" wide with leaves about 12" long, and offsets very slowly. Prefers good drainage, protection from the afternoon sun in the hottest places, and occasional summer water. Root hardy in USDA zone 8. 6in @ $16 Agavaceae Melaleuca spathulata hardy melaleuca Tiny leaves on upright branches all year with mauve-purple pompom flowers in spring and early summer! Evergreen, compact shrub to 3 x 3 ft for sun to part shade. This one is frost hardy in the Pacific Northwest and USDA zone 8 in general. Nice texture and fancy flowers! 5g @ $47 Myrtaceae Muehlenbeckia complexa Often referred to as wire grass, this particularly useful, New Zealand ground cover or container plant grows to only 6" in height, spreading slowly. Dark, wiry stems with shiny, evergreen leaves. Sun to part shade in almost any soil but needing some summer water where particularly dry. Very good around steps or larger specimens such as New Zealand flax. Frost hardy to 8F, upper edge of USDA zone 7. Sometimes sold as M. axillaris. 1g @ $12 Polygonaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 149
