Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Opuntia sp. - white spinal clone It was amazing to see this, one of my favorite early-childhood plants, in its Argentinean habitat, each ravine having its own unique clone. As the name suggests these cute, round-padded creatures will, with drought, ….. disarticulate, spreading themselves slowly into patches. For us a most attractive container specimen or small scale garden plant, this clone with white curled spines looking like crows feet. Drought tolerant but faster growing with some summer water. Frost hardy to 10 to 12F, USDA zone 8. 4D @ $15 Cactaceae Osmanthus fragrans fragrant tea olive The word "osmanthus" means fragrant flower. Imagine warm ripe apricots on a summer evening and you will come close to the floral scent of this ancient Chinese species. An evergreen shrub, to 10-12 ft tall x 6-8 ft wide, with shiny green leaves and, in autumn, clusters of small, cream colored flowers. Best in part shade in rich moist soil receiving regular summer water. Frost hardy to 5F, mid USDA zone 7. 1g @ $12, 5g @ $47 Oleaceae Osmanthus fragrans 'Nanjings Beauty' fragrant tea olive A superior selection of sweet olive, its red tinged new growth only adds to its main appeal: late fall intensely fragrant creamy-white flowers. Traditional plant of Chinese gardens. Evergreen to 10'+, especially useful trained as a small tree. Hardy to 10F. USDA zone 8. 7g @ $57 Oleaceae Osteospermum barberiae african daisy With scented evergreen foliage to 18” wide and 10” high topped by silvery-pink daisies though spring and summer, this African species is a little shy of wet winters, but it can prove hardy in very well drained soil and full sun. Drought tolerant and tolerant of occasional summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 4in @ $4 Asteraceae Ozothamnus rosmarinifolius Medium, evergreen shrub, to 4-5 ft tall and nearly as wide, with crowded, tiny leaves, green above and silvery beneath giving an overall silver appearance. Large corymbs of white flowers are opalescent and reflect a pale pink cast. Drying flowers stay very handsome for a long time. Full sun to part shade, with occasional summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 4in @ $4 Asteraceae Petasites fragrans winter heliotrope This small-leaved, Mediterranean native coltsfoot is perfect for the summer drought border–it simply goes dormant if unwatered. The small, round-leaved foliage is fragrant as are the white, vanilla-scented flowers in winter, a source of winter food for bees. Best in shade. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 6in @ $12 Asteraceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 152
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Phlebodium pseudoaureum blue rabbit's foot fern Once part of a more familiar genus and known as Polypodium areolatum, these ferns are handsome by any name with their evergreen, glaucous gray-blue, deeply lobed fronds to only 12" tall emerging from fuzzy red rhizomes that lie close to the surface. Wonderful in the garden in well-drained, consistently moist soil in part sun to dappled shade. Striking as cut foliage. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 4D @ $14, 1g @ $18 Polypodiaceae Pinus contorta var. contorta bolander's beach pine Endemic to a narrow coastal area of California near Mendocino, these pines are often shrubby in their natural, windy habitats,but in less extreme, garden conditions, they can reach 15-20 ft tall and wide. A two-needle pine with short, narrow needles in this variety and knobby, open cones, these trees are endangered in their natural habitat. Preferring full sun and good drainage, they are adapted to summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8 and best with protection from winter winds. 4D @ $12 Pinaceae Pittosporum illicioides 'Strappy' Too rare in horiticulture. Selected by Sean Hogan from Taiwanese collections by Dan Hinkley - P. illicioides DJHT 99079, chosen for the extremely narrow leaves that present a fine texture in the garden. A tall, evergreen shrub, to 12-15 ft, with fragrant, white flowers in spring and, in autumn, very small, blue-black fruit in orange capsules. Best in light shade with regular summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8 and expected in zone 7. 5g @ $52 Pittosporaceae Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Argentea Nana' Of the often jewel-like members of this highly selected species from New Zealand, P.t. 'Argentea Nana' is indeed one of the most exquisite. Young plants form mounds, 18" to 2 ft , of densely held, 1/4" leaves on black stems. As plants emerge into their adult phase, the leaves grow farther apart and the plants become more open. This too is attractive but if one misses the old days, a little shearing can never hurt. On older plants late spring flowers are under 1/3", maroon to nearly black with the fragrance of dianthus. Dappled shade to full sun with regular summer water preferred. Exquisite container plant. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 2g @ $28 Pittosporaceae Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Black Lace' Another of the diminutive forms of this treasure of a species, P. t. 'Black Lace' is among the tiniest of them all. Threadlike, black branches on this delicately mounding small plant, to 3 ft, bold leaves often under 1/4", each leaf tinted chocolate-burgundy in winter with olive tints in summer. Eventually plants may reach 6 ft at which time leaves begin to grow somewhat larger and flowers occur in spring with typical maroon, small bells, scented of carnations. Bright light to dappled shade, regular summer water. Not a heavy feeder. Superb small garden or container plant having proven hardy to mid USDA zone 8, possibly a little cooler if protected from wind. 2g @ $28 Pittosporaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 153
