Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Cistus ladanifer ssp. sulcatus Evergreen shrub, to 4-5 ft, with dark foliage deeply infused with labdanum, the wonderfully aromatic oil that either feels silky smooth to the touch or like a sticky fly paper depending on the light and temperature. To us, it’s real beauty lies in the spring clusters of flowers, white with burgundy blotches -- most attractive -- and ruffled, appearing almost as a semi-double rose. Summer drought tolerant in full sun with mineral soil, so little to no summer water once established. Frost hardy to 15F, mid USDA zone 8. 1g @ Cistaceae Cordyline 'Electric Pink' pink cordyline Exciting new Cordyline hybrid with long and narrow, florescent leaves -- dazzling pink with burgundy stripes -- forming striking clumps to 4-5 ft tall x 3-4 ft wide. Sun promotes the best color but light shade is possible as well, both in well-drained soil. Very drought tolerant once established but more lush inland with regular summer water. Frost hardy to the mid teens F, USDA zone 8. Excellent container and/or coastal plant. 5g @ $52 Liliaceae / Asparagaceae Cordyline australis cabbage palm Much overused as an annual though much better as a perennial resident where temperatures allow. Eventually grows into a small tree with multiple crowns of palm-like, bright green foliage just before freezing to the ground in a bad winter, then starting over again. Quite permanent along the Oregon coast or wherever temperatures stay above 20F. 5g @ $47 Liliaceae / Asparagaceae Cordyline australis 'Pink Champagne' A green-leaved cordyline, despite the name, with narrow, upright leaves of pale green edged in white and blushed pink near the base -- looking a bit sun splashed. A newer selection, so far slow growing to only 2-6 ft tall x 3-4 ft wide. Does will in full sun on the coast with wind protection or part shade inland with protection from the hottest sun. Somewhat drought tolerant, especially on the coast, but appreciated occasional to regular summer water. Frost hardy to 15F, mid USDA zone 8. Mulch for extra winter protection and wrap for extreme weather. Resprouts from the base. 2g @ $26 Liliaceae / Asparagaceae Cordyline australis 'Pink Stripe' Unusual and hard to find Cordyline, this one having arrived from England 10 years ago. Trunk forming plant with striking foliage -- stunning pink and cream stripes with a green leaf margin. Sun to part shade. Best with some summer water. Can withstand brief bouts in the teens F, longer bouts with protection, and resprouts from as low as 10F - USDA zone 8. 5g @ $47, 7g @ $47 Liliaceae / Asparagaceae Cordyline australis 'Red Sensation' red sensation cabbage palm Another wonderful selection of ths lovely garden accent plant -- this one with with wide leaves in dark purple with almost bluish overtones. Sun to part shade. Best with summer water but fairly drought tolerant. Can withstand short bouts in the teens F, longer with protection, and resprouts from 10F. 15g @ $85 Liliaceae / Asparagaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 166
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Cordyline australis 'Torbay Dazzler' New for 2008. Dazzling foliage on this new introduction from New Zealand. Reaches tree-like size of 15 to 20 ft along the OR and CA coasts, though below 15ºF it might freeze to the ground and resprout vigorously from the base. Great container plant for inside or out.. Even summer moisture and bright light for best color. USDA zone 8. Will make you look 10 years younger. 2g @ $19, 5g @ $47 Liliaceae / Asparagaceae Cordyline indivisa cabbage palm A much thought of cabbage palm (e.g., “Gee whiz, I wish I could grow this one...”) from the high, cool elevations of New Zealand's South Island. Leaves, sometimes over 5" wide, show more stripes of color the closer you look, and glow on a generally unbranching trunk to over 8 ft. In the Willamette Valley prefers a north facing aspect, cool gritty soil, even moisture and, for survival, protection from baking summer heat. Cold hardy to below 18F, upper USDA zone 8. 2g @ $37 Liliaceae / Asparagaceae Cordyline sp. - Wanaka Lake, NZ At first we thought this collection was C. pumilo but these are slowly forming trunks, so we expect whatever this is to become a multiple trunked, large shrub, especially thrilling for us in that this was a high elevation collection in a place that regularly visits the teens F in the winter with snow. Leaves are green with a most attractive purple flush for much of the season. Grow as for other cordylines in sun to part shade in dampish soil as a container or garden specimen. Ultimate hardiness as yet untested but we are guessing 15F, mid USDA zone 8. 1g @ $14 Liliaceae / Asparagaceae Crinodendron hookerianum chilean lantern tree From the temperate rain forest of southern Chile, this 30 ft -- but more likely 10-15 ft in the garden -evergreen creates a narrow pyramid of 2", glossy leaves and maroon pink lanterns, most abundant in spring but sporadically throughout the year. A lover of damp cool conditions, alas it is a plant for the cool conservatory or along the Pacific West Coast. Sun in the coolest of coastal areas to dappled shade and away from drying winds inland. Even moisture and humidity. Plant with the Lapagerias. One old plant in the MacDonald garden of Portland, though suffering a couple of set backs over the years, is a fine specimen of about 8 ft. Mid USDA zone 8, a bit lower with protection. 5g @ $57 Elaeocarpaceae Crinodendron patagua white lantern tree Slow-growing, evergreen from Chile, a large shrub to 6-10 ft or small tree to 10-12 ft and possibly up to an eventual 25 ft in the happiest of circumstances. The shiny, dark green leaves create a nice backdrop for the summer flowers, fragrant white, bells that hang from the younger branches. Red seed pods, a bit like flattened bell peppers add interest into the winter. Best with regular summer water in full to part sun in well-drained soil that is rich and moist, taking care to keep the roots cool in summer. Frost hardy into the upper teens F, upper USDA zone 8. 2g @ $32 Elaeocarpaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 167
