Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Sarcandra glabra Evergreen gound cover with shiny, serrated foliage, the leaves 4-6" long and half as wide. Plants form small mounds 1 to 3 ft high and wide. Small, yellowish flowers appear in May followed by 1/4" orange-red fruits (drupes) in autumn, remaining through spring. A woodland plant in its native Asian habitat; appreciates regular water and at least dappled shade in hottest climates. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 1g @ $14 Chloranthaceae Sarcococca balansae BSWJ 7285 sweet box A collection in Northern Thailand by the intrepid Wynn-Jones of Crug Farm, this is one of the first of the "big" hardy, sweet box to make it into the US. Up to 6 ft tall with rather large, tropical-looking leaves and the fragrant white flowers you have come to expect in mid-winter. Cold hardy to USDA zone 8 in a sheltered site with moisture and shade. Very exciting! 2g @ $28 Buxaceae Sarcococca saligna sweet box This winter-blooming shrub, with tiny white, thread-like flowers and delightful December to February fragrance, comes from the high mountains of Afghanistan. To 3 ft tall x 6 ft wide eventually, with densely held, evergreen leaves, narrow and tapered, dark green above and lighter beneath. Full sun to part shade with regular summer moisture. This form was shared with us by Western Hills Nursery. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 4D @ $12, 2g @ $22 Buxaceae Sedum palmeri A sprawling Mexican sedum with startling orange-yellow flowers in early spring and attractive rosettes of waxy, blue-green foliage throughout the year. Forms patches to 6" tall x 12" wide. Easy in full sun with good drainage and some to little summer water once established. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. Drapes nicely over the sides of containers. 4in @ $4 Crassulaceae Sisyrinchium 'Ft. Bragg' A lovely perennial for the front of the garden, the soft, lavender flowers with violet centers covering the grassy, blue-green leaves in spring. To only 6" tall and small clumps, these need sun to part shade and well drained soil. Drought tolerant but may go summer dormant without water, returning with the fall rains. Frost hardy to 10F, USDA zone 8. 1g @ $12 Iridaceae Solanum jasminoides 'Aureovariegata' Very useful vine for container or garden with its lovely green-centered, yellow-margined leaves -- as if a small, irregular green leaf were surrounded by yellow -- and clusters of white flowers. To not more than 5 to 8 ft in a much more diminutive way than its all-green cousin. Wonderful planted among roses or at the bases of Clematis where things get rather spindly down low, we have used it frequently in containers to contrast with maroons or cool down flowers of tangerine or pink. Loves to be babied with regular fertilizer and moisture but survives about anything. USDA zone 8; has survived zone 7 with a bit of mulch. In containers anywhere. 1g @ $12 Solanaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 158
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Sophora microphylla 'Sun King' This Hillier’s introduction is hardier than either of its parents, withstanding temperatures in the upper teens F. Striking, vase-shaped shrub to 6 ft or so, loaded with large, luscious, bell-shaped, golden pea flowers over a long late spring bloom period. Evergreen foliage is dark, the leaves pinnate and fine-textured. Sun with average summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 2g @ $37, 5g @ $47 Fabaceae Sycopsis sinensis chinese fighazel Evergreen witch hazel relation, a small tree to 10-15 ft tall and as wide , found in central China and, though introduced by plantsman Edmund Wilson in the early 20th century is still something of an rarity. Oblong, 2 -4” leaves are dark green above and lighter beneath. In early spring clusters of threadlike flowers open from fuzzy buds to yellow stamens and red anthers. Prefers fertile, well-drained soil in sun or part shade; best protected from harshest sun in hot climates. Regular water. Frost hardy to the upper teens, upper USDA zone 8. Some leaf loss or damage possible below. 5g @ $47 Hamamelidaceae Tetrapanax papyrifer 'Steroidal Giant' rice paper plant A selected giant form of rice paper plant. HUGE 3+ ft leaves on stems to 15 ft. Can you say ‘statement’? Related to Fatsia japonica, but with larger leaves -- much larger -- very felted, and less cut. Best in sun to part shade with protection from wind. Rich soil and regular summer water to establish. Can be deciduous if temperatures drop below 15F but resprouts easily. Root hardy to 10F, bottom of USDA zone 8. 6in @ $18 Araliaceae Teucridium parvifolium New Zealand shrub, to 5 ft tall or so, with dainty, mid-green leaves and mustard-yellow stems that beautifully accentuate the dark leaf petioles -- a most attractive effect. White, pendulous flowers appear in winter and early spring. An architectural plant with interesting color combinations and unusual texture for the garden. Best in dappled sun to shade in rich soil with some summer water. Evergreen in USDA zone 9 and upper zone 8; resprouts from the bottom of zone 8. 6in @ $12 Lamiaceae Trachelospermum asiaticum 'Chirimen' asian star jasmine A glittering, tiny star jasmine, brought from Japan as a gift several years ago. It remained quite dwarf growing only an inch or two a year at first, gaining vigor as time went by. The 1/4" to 1/3" leaves are closely held, narrow, and streaked silver-white and dark green on dark stems. Each plant grows no more than 6" in height, mounding if in bright light or in tight quarters, becoming a miniature vine in dappled shade or if allowed to climb. After several years, "adult" leaves form, to 1/2", and small, sweetly scented, creamy flowers appear. It is hard to imagine a better small container, rock garden, or freestone wall plant especially when contrasted with darker colors. Full sun, for most compactness, to shade. Rich, freely draining soil. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 1g @ $15 Apocynaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 159
