Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Trachelospermum jasminoides 'Wilsonii' star jasmine Tough evergreen vine, willing to climb, scramble, or spread into a nicely textured groundcover of dark green leaves with prominent, silvery veins. Very glossy and even more striking in summer when sprinkled with sweetly fragrant, creamy white, star-shaped flowers. In autumn the foliage takes on red coloration from slight tints to a complete color change. Sun is best with some summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 6in @ $16 Apocynaceae Viburnum foetidum var. quadrangularis Handsome and rare evergreen viburnum from southern China. Burnished leaves emerge dark purple, turning a dark, shiny green upon maturity. Flowers appear in late spring in rounded clusters of white with purple anthers. Crimson fruit follows and last through the winter, good cheer for people and birds. A medium shrub, to 4-6 ft tall x 3-5 ft wide at maturity. Best in full to part sun with average summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 4in @ $16 Caprifoliaceae / Adoxaceae Viburnum henryi henry’s viburnum This shiny-leaved, evergreen viburnum is a durable 6-10 ft backbone shrub with arching branches. Long and narrow, 2-5" x 1-1.5" leaves are dark green with an orange cast, a nice contrast with the white, spring flowers and abundant red-turning-black berries that follow. Sun to part shade with summer water until wellestablished. From Central China, cold hardy to USDA zone 7. 2g @ $24 Caprifoliaceae / Adoxaceae Viburnum tinus 'Spring Bouquet' One of the lovely, evergreen viburnums, covered in spring with umbrels of pink-white flowers opening from pink buds, and followed by metallic blue berries -- a plant for all seasons. To 6 ft tall x 3 ft wide, these make handsome specimens, backdrops, or hedges with their upright habit. Best in full sun to part shade in welldrained soil. The only Mediterranean viburnum, these are drought tolerant once established accept and enjoy summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 1g @ $12 Caprifoliaceae Washingtonia filifera - Moapa collection Though it has been argued as to whether this is a very old escapee or the northernmost colony of this western native palm, this Nevade/Arizona collection has provided individuals proving more cold hardy than the type. It would be logical that, even if not native, this early collection is from the most likely, nearest native stand in the Kofa Mountains in AZ. Otherwise, typically thick trunked, quite hairy leaved palm, to 40 ft or more in hot climates. Slow growing in coastal Oregon and one of the only Washingtonia's worth a try inland. 10F or so if dry. 5g @ $47 Arecaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 160
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability x Amarygia parkeri ‘Hathor’ An outstanding autumn flowering bulb from the late Amaryllid breeder Les Hannibal. Perfect for the summer dry garden. Large bulbs often exceeding 6-8 inches are slow to offset, but produce 1 to several stems ringed with 5-6inch white trumpets in August and September before the winter leaves emerge. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. Full Sun. Best in gritty well drained soil. 2g @ $28 Amaryllidaceae x Fatshedera lizei 'Variegata' The cream margined version of this inter-generic Fatsia and Hedera hybrid. Excellent lax or self clinging shrub to about 6 ft. This is perfect for those odd spots or corners, against low walls or under larger plantings and the ever splashed foliage is a good backdrop for winters dainties such as snowdrops or helleborus. Best with water in some shade. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 2g @ $24 Araliaceae x Rhaphiolepis 'Majestic Beauty' indian hawthorn Gorgeous evergreen with dark green, leathery leaves, to 4" long with bronze fuzz on pale green undersides. Fragrant pink flowers appear in late spring to early summer. A bigeneric cross between R. umbellata and Eriobotrya japonica, hence the large leaves. Can reach 15 ft, but more often remains an 8-10 ft tall and wide shrub or small tree. Sun to part shade with summer water; tolerates some drought once established. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 5g @ $47 Rosaceae Yucca endlichiana Rare and beautiful small species from northern Sonora. Each leaf remains under 6" and is a quite succulent, deep blue mottled purple. The plants form large caudices making them great for bonsai. But possibly the most intriguing feature is their beetle pollinated flowers that are maroon-black and hang to rest on the ground near the plant. Fullest sun. USDA zone 8 if drainage is excellent, possibly with protection from winter wet. 4D @ $22, 6in @ $22 Agavaceae USDA zone: 8b Abutilon 'Furious Yellow' flowering maple Named by our own Maureen Caviness, this Cistus Nursery hybrid produces bright, "Big Bird" yellow flowers on black stems on a fairly compact plant, to 4-5 ft. Likes partial shade, ample moisture, and good drainage. Great in the ground with mulch in fall to ensure winter survival or in container that is brought indoors. Frost hardy in upper USDA zone 8. 2g @ $20 Malvaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 161
