This form was collected in southern Chile and should be among the hardier of the group withstanding low teens F, mid USDA zone 8, with no damage. Where temperatures are likely to fall lower, place out of wind or possibly consider moving to a better climate. 2g @ $24 Myrtaceae Lyonothamnus floribundus var. aspleniifolius catalina ironwood Lacy, evergreen foliage and cool, honey-brown peeling bark set this California native apart.

Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. 1g @ $14, 5g @ $42 Melianthaceae Mimulus aurantiacus 'Jeff's Tangerine' Of all the West Coast natives, the shrubby monkey flowers have some of the most to offer. Evergreen, to about 4 ft or more in the wild, with flowers ranging from butter yellow to oranges to even deep pink. Mimulus a. 'Jeff's Tangerine' came as a seedling in our friend Jeff Rooney's garden. The flowers are a pleasing, yes, tangerine color, with an orange throat and a little creamy yellow around the margins. In years of light frost it has flowered year round, though in the winter cold spell of 2004, temperatures in the low 20s F knocked the flowers off but did little to thwart its luxurious growth. Able to withstand summer drought, it will happily go dormant until fall rains begin. Also tolerant of reasonable garden water if soil is well drained and light is bright, flowering year-round in mid USDA zone 8 or above. Otherwise a fine pot specimen or seasonal addition to containers. 4in @ $5 Phrymaceae / Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 171
