Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Gold Star' kohuhu Yet another selection, this a compact, evergreen shrub with bright, cheerful foliage, olive green centrally splashed golden, on black stems, and intensely fragrant, tiny black flowers in spring. o 4 ft tall or so and as wide. Full sun in milder climates to part shade in hot, dry areas. Likes well-drained soil and some summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8a. 5g @ $47 Pittosporaceae Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Nutty Leprechaun' This selection originated in Irelands though its parentage is, of course, from New Zealand. A good addition to the purple-leaved pittosporums, growing only to about 3 ft tall with small, deep burgundy leaves, under 1/2”, a striking contrast with the florescent chartreuse of the new spring growth. These are not only compact, they have an almost creeping quality, separating P. t. ‘Nutty Leprechaun’ from other small, purple cultivars. Also one of the tougher of the purple group, these have been frost hardy so far into the low teens F with no noticeable damage. Full sun for best color. At home on the West Coast of North America, but not happy in the hot, humid southeast. Frost hardy in lower USDA zone 8. 6in @ $16 Pittosporaceae Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Silver Ruffles' Small, gray-green, wavy leaves float above black stems on this delicately textured shrub, possibly reaching 12 ft in time. Tiny black flowers appear in spring, stunning against the foliage and highly fragrant as well. Best when backed by darker foliage. Site out of wind and close to a path to be admired. Sun to part sun in hottest climes with some summer water. Frost hardy to at least 10F, USDA zone 8. 3g @ $37 Pittosporaceae Podocarpus chingianus UCSC 95-97 Related to P. chinensis, these rare podocarps grow to an eventual 20 ft tall, a striking architectural feature for the garden, with "needles" of 1/2" held against the stem giving an almost tufted appearance. Best in full sun or the light understory. Though drought tolerant, growth can be boosted by light summer watering. Frost hardy to 10F or so, USDA zone 8, and possibly lower. 5g @ $52 Podocarpaceae Podocarpus totara 'Aureus' A yellow foliaged selection of one of the main timber trees of New Zealand, the totara will reach twenty or so feet in as many years in the Pacific Northwest -- more upright than wide. Stiff blond needles and orange drupes. Normal garden water. 2g @ $24 Podocarpaceae Polypodium californicum 'Sarah Lyman' A California polypody fern cultivar with finely divided leaves. Perfect in shade garden. Dormant in late spring and through dry summer returning in the autumn. Grows 12 to 15 inches tall and spreads slowly. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 1g @ $14 Polypodiaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 154
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Prostanthera rotundifolia australian mint bush From the wonderful group of Australian, shrubby mints. Brush past this mint bush and you are enveloped in a cloud of cool fragrance. Abundant pale purple flowers in spring and early summer. Shear lightly for repeat bloom. Sun and moist, fertile, well-drained soil. To 4-6 ft tall and nearly as wide. Plant in a protected spot away from harsh elements for winter survival in upper USDA zone 8. Easy in zone 9 and well worth a try below. 2g @ $18 Lamiaceae Prumnopitys andina ECEH 00107 plum-fruited yew Handsome, evergreen conifer from the Andean region of southern Chile and northern Argentina, related to the Podocarps. Slowly to a possible 50 x 25 ft, though 30 ft tall is more likely in the garden. Dark bark, sweeping branches, and yew like needles, arranged spirally, and lighter on the undersides. Full sun to part shade and regular moisture. Dioecious, meaning no fruit without a nearby friend. A good garden specimen or trimmed hedge. Frost hardy to USDA zone 8. 2g @ $32 Podocarpaceae Punica granatum 'Nana' ornamental pomegranate This double flowering dwarf is grown for its extremely glossy leaves as well as its repeating bright orange double flowers and its golf ball sized red fruit that hangs on bare branches into the depths of winter. This clone is sterile, so you’ll have to get your edible pomo’s at the market. Grows to about 3 or 4 ft, but can be clipped smaller. Full to part sun with normal garden water. Great in a container. Hardy to 10F or so. 1g @ $14 Lythraceae Punica granatum 'Wonderful' wonderful pomegranate Possibly the best fruiting of the pomegranates. Deciduous addition to your garden with silky bright orange flowers and elephantine dusky red fruit through the brilliant red and yellow fall color. 6-10 ft or hedged in full sun. If the summer is long and hot enough, harvest the wonderful fruit after first frost to make into jam, Grenadine, or just eat fresh with friends. Hardy. 1g @ $14, 5g @ $57, 15g @ $125 Lythraceae Pyrrosia hastata felt fern An evergreen fern, quite rare in cultivation as it spreads very slowly, but attractive with thick, three lobed leaves, up to 16" long x 6-8" wide, green above and stippled with coppery felt below, on black stems to 6-12” tall and slowly expanding into larger clumps. Found clinging to rocks and tree trunks in China, Japan, and Korea, these are best in part shade to shade in well-drained, even rocky soil with summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8 and into zone 7 with winter protection. Also does well in pots and as an indoor plant. 2g @ $28 Polypodiaceae Quercus dumosa california scrub oak Shrub oak, native to California, reaching from 5-6 ft tall and as wide with evergreen, spiny leaves. They grow much as manzanitas, in full sun and well-drained soil with little summer water once established. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 5g @ $47 Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 155
