Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Abutilon 'Temple Bells' flowering maple Ba’zillions of deep orange, red-veined, rounded bells bedazzle this gangly-armed shrub over a long bloom period from spring to fall. A tallish abutilon, to up to 10 ft tall in a season, with large, maple-shaped leaves for a floral backdrop. Best in part sun and regular moisture and fertilizer and in a protected location as these are less frost hardy than some abutilon relatives. Provide mulch or overhead protection where temperatures drop to 18F, upper USDA zone 8. Fall cuttings can be taken for insurance. 2g @ $16 Malvaceae Abutilon megapotamicum 'Sunset' flowering maple This form has the species’ lovely combination of red and yellow flowers; actually yellow flowers with a red calyx. Like all of the “megapotamicums”, a wiry plant that likes to grow up through other shrubs, to 4 ft or more. Sun to part shade with average moisture and fertilizer. Nice when sprawling in a hanging basket. Root hardy in USDA zone 8. Mulch provides addition protection in winter. 2g @ $18 Malvaceae Acacia baileyana 'Purpurea' purple fernleaf acacia Elegant small tree to 6 - 20 ft tall and 20 ft wide, naturalized in most of Australia. Feathery blue foliage with purple highlights and racemes of bright yellow, globular flowers from winter through spring. Full sun is best and good drainage with some summer water. Frost hardy in USDA Zone 8b-10. 1g @ $12 Fabaceae Acacia cultriformis knifeleaf wattle Widely cultivated tall shrub, 6-10 ft, from Australia. Drooping branches with blue-gray, almost triangular leaflike phyllodes (flattened leaf stalks) held close to the stems. Perfumed, rounded clusters of bright yellow spring flowers on long sprays. Excellent for hedging. Full sun. Drought tolerant once established. Though to be frost hardy in USDA zone 8 but difficulties in the recent hard winters suggest upper zone 8, that is protected or where protection can be provided in cold winter moments. 1g @ $12 Fabaceae Acacia pravissima oven's wattle A lovely mimosa. Large shrub or small multi-trunked tree to 15 ft with odd-looking soft, evergreen foliage -actually small phyllodes or flattened leaf stalks -- held close to the stems. Loaded with fragrant yellow blooms in spring. Full sun with well-drained soil. Drought tolerant once established. Frost hardy for brief periods in the mid teens F, mid to upper USDA zone 8. 7g @ $47 Fabaceae Agapanthus inapertus ssp. pendulus 'Graskop' grassland agapanthus Dark blue, nearly black buds that open to dark, violet-purple flowers mark this striking, deciduous agapanthus. Flowering in July and August, the 3 ft stems rise a foot above the clumps of light green, strap-like leaves. A bit more cold hardy than evergreen relatives, this cultivar from the northeast Transvaal in South Africa enjoys sun, well-drained soil, and spring and summer water. Also tolerates winter rains. Frost hardy to 15 to 20F, mid to upper USDA zone 8. 6in @ $18, 2g @ $22 Amaryllidaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 162
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Agave aff. macroculmis T73-99 These, from the mountains of Tamaulipas in Nuevo Leon, Mexico at 7120 ft, are almost undoubtably a stable hybrid between A. montana or possibly A. gentryi - both high mountain dwellers - and A. scabra as it sneaks up toward the passes. Light-blue leaves, deeply dentate, form rosettes to 3ft. Tolerates moderate shade if well drained, otherwise full sun. Frost hardy to 15F, mid USDA zone 8, possibly below 10F if kept dry in winter. 2g @ $28 Agavaceae Agave americana 'Cornelius' Miniature form of the monstrous Century Plant, forming rosettes to under 2 ft, each leaf centered green with pleasing cream to gold leaf margins. In stunted form gives whole plant the appearance of a star. Frost hardy to upper USDA zone 8 or a bit colder if dry and under an the eaves or another protected spot in winter. Either way a fabulous pot plant. Full sun. 2g @ $28 Agavaceae Agave funkiana 'Blue Haze' Selected for its striking foliage, the powdery leaves toothed and narrowing to a sharply pointed tip with a pale to nearly white mid-stripe. Rosettes can reach up to 2 ft tall and wide. Sun and well-drained soil required. Drought tolerant but occasional summer water speeds growth and generally enhances the appearance. Frost hardy to 15F, mid USDA zone 8. Otherwise a happy container plant. 6in @ $16 Agavaceae Agave funkiana 'Fatal Attraction' Another selection of the already handsome A. funkiana, this with darker green leaves and and pale green midstripe down the center. Leaves are narrow and toothed, ending in a dark and pointed spine tip. For sun and well-drained soil, as one might expect. Drought tolerant but occasional summer water speeds growth. Less frost hardy than the species, to 15F, mid USDA zone 8. Does well in containers. 6in @ $16 Agavaceae Agave parryi var. huachucensis From, yes, the Huachuca Mountains in southern Arizona and into northern Sonora, this beautiful gray/blue century plant forms a classic 20-24” artichoke shape, eventually offsetting to form small colonies. From midelevation (5-7000 ft) this, though not the most frost hardy of the parryi clan, takes 10 to 15F in stride, mid to upper USDA zone 8 -- lower if very well drained. Full sun and summer water in Mediterranean areas. 2g @ $28 Agavaceae Agave weberi 'Arizona Star' A most fortunate find at Mountain States Nursery of this round, blue-green century plant, to 2 ft, with leaves that are soft for the genus and, in this clone, streaked and edged creamy yellow. Very easy with bright light, good drainage, and occasional summer water. Best kept dry in winter. Vigorous and frost hardy to 15F or so, mid USDA zone 8. Otherwise, a fabulous container plant. 6in @ $18 Agavaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 163
