Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Muscari macrocarpum 'Wayne's Clone' It’s the fragrance! an amazing and rich sweet fragrance that captures everyone who sniffs the flowers of this reasonably rare grape hyacinth selected by our friend Wayne Roderick. Clusters of robust, yellow flowers appear in early spring standing above the grassy foliage that remains evergreen in the upper 20sF. Slowly increases by division of bulbs. Best in well drained soil or in an easily accessible container -- close to paths and close to sniffing level - not to miss the intoxicating scent. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8 and possibly into zone 7. 4D @ $9 Liliaceae Myrtus chequen chilean myrtle Small tree to 20 ft or so. A native of Chile, this one was found near Vilches. Leaves are evergreen and slightly fragrant. White flowers in mid summer followed by purplish fruit -- said to be edible -- ripening in the fall. A nice small textured tree for sun, good drainage and regular summer water. Frost hardy to at least to the mid teens - mid USDA zone 8. 5g @ $42 Myrtaceae Myrtus communis 'Ann McDonald' Long having had an interest in this classic, I was delighted to see a large shrub of 8 ft in the wonderful and historic garden of Ann McDonald in Portland, this having been planted some 30 years ago or more and selected for its 1” leaves and large, 1/3” blue-black fruit produced from an exceedingly heavy flowering. Full sun to dappled shade in lean soil with little summer water. This garden provenance has produced a plant able to withstand between 10 to12F – bottom of USDA zone 8 -- with little appreciable damage. 1g @ $14 Myrtaceae Narcissus sp. [China Doll Narcissus] A lovely creature with a long history in horticulture; a plant introduced from its Asian origin hundreds of years ago via the silk road. Also a favorite from Sean’s childhood garden. Several fragrant, 1” flowers with a yellow-orange trumpet are produced in late November but certainly by January. For a sunny spot with good summer baking. Frost hardy to the bottom of USDA zone 8. 6in @ $11 Amaryllidaceae Olea europaea 'Arbequina' Small to medium tree. 2" slender leaves; somewhat weeping shape. Dark brown to olive fruit in mid to late season. Self fertile and fruits at an early age. Wonderful for small gardens or containers. Best in sun with lean, well-drained soil. Water to establish but withhold in late summer to harden the leaves. Frost hardy to USDA zone 8; withstands 0F, USDA zone 7, if well hardened. 2g @ $37 Oleaceae Olea europaea 'Leccino' hardy spanish olive Possibly one of the best for the American West in general. Small, vigorous trees, 10 to 20 ft with 3"+, dazzlingly silver leaves with reflective undersides & contrasting dark fruit. Sun in well-drained soil. Supplemental water to establish; withhold in late summer to harden. Reliable in USDA zone 8; worth a try in zone 7. 2g @ $37 Oleaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 150
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Olea europaea 'Mission' mission olive Long planted in North America, a reliable plant with an overall handsome habit. To 15-20 ft, though untended specimens have reached 40 ft, with 2" silvery leaves and deep black fruit ripening late. Sun in well-drained soil. Supplemental water to establish; withhold in late summer to harden. Has remained hardy to 10ºF, USDA zone 8 if fully ripened. 1g @ $22, 2g @ $32, 15g @ $155 Oleaceae Olearia lepidophylla One of the most graceful of the New Zealand daisy bushes with small, brush-like flowers, but, more importantly, closely held, rice-grain sized, silver leaves and upright branches making a compact vision of silver. Very good specimen for containers or an area of the garden where reflected light might add beauty as the undersides of the leaves are even lighter than the surface. Able to withstand some summer drought but supplemental water where dry keeps it thick and healthy. Not a plant for the desert or for extended sticky summer nights. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 2g @ $24 Asteraceae Olearia macrodonta new zealand holly Evergreen, shrubby daisy from New Zealand, to 10 ft tall x 5 ft wide, a charming, holly-wanna-be, with long, serrated leaves and clusters of fragrant, white, daisy-like flowers in summer. On mature plants, the bark peels in graceful strips. A rapid grower that tolerates hard pruning. Full sun and well-drained soil is best with average summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 2g @ $24 Asteraceae Olearia moschata incense plant A cold hardy, shrubby ‘daisy’ from New Zealand with handsome, ever-gray foliage and awesome white leaf undersides and stems. White corymbs of small daisy flowers appear in summer. Full sun and well-drained soil is best. Drought tolerant once established. Grows to 4 ft or so high and wide. Cold hardy to 10F, USDA zone 8a. 4D @ $12, 2g @ $24 Asteraceae Opuntia aff. triacantha From our friend Sarah at Desert Way Nursery comes this unusual form of prickly pear native to the deep Southeast and even into the Caribbean. Pads up to 6in of purple-tinted blue and adorned with -well on this clone- two, not three, blackish spines from each areole. Very large, ruffled flowers as well in spring. Vigorous and prrrrdy. Hardy to USDA zone 8 or fabo-container plant. 6in @ $11 Cactaceae Opuntia microdasys - Monstrose form bunny ears cactus This form of the bunnie ears opuntia has been in cultivation for a long time but has never become common. Looks like something from the Flintstones; each lumpy pad is covered with golden spots of tiny glochids, the plant occasionally to about 18” and flowering in golden yellow. Best in well-drained soil where it is dryish outside. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. Otherwise an excellent container plant. 6in @ $15 Cactaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 151
