Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Myrtus 'Redside' A Cistus introduction, a hybrid, between Myrtus communis ‘Compacta’ and M. communis ‘Anne McDonald’, showing compact growth, to only about 20” tall, with attractive, red-tinted stems and densely held leaves, also red-tinted on the undersides. Most useful for small hedges, specimens or topiary. Drought tolerant and free flowering in mid to late spring with white, 1/2 “ flowers. Prefers well-drained, lean soil in full sun. Frost hardy in sun to about 15F, mid USDA zone 8. 2g @ $24 Myrtaceae Olea europaea 'Little Ollie' 'Little Ollie' is a wonderful small olive, slowly reaching 4-6 ft tall, as an attractive, very small shrub or miniature tree with dark green leaves. A non-fruiting cultivar -- useful as a hedge, or specimen, or in container -- for sun and well-drained soil. Drought tolerant once established in the garden; needs more consistent water in container. Frost hardy in the upper teens F, USDA zone 8b, so place in a shelter spot or winter over in a covered area. 1g @ $12, 5g @ $42 Oleaceae Olearia paniculata daisy bush This medium-sized, New Zealand shrub, multi-trunked to 8-10 ft tall, thrives in full to half sun with regular summer water producing white, fragrant, daisy flowers in autumn. Frankly, the evergreen foliage is so great -the leathery, yellow-green leaves having white undersides and wavy margins -- who cares if it flowers? Makes a dense and useful hedge. Needs well-drained soil and summer water in sun to part shade. Somewhat more tender than its relatives; frost hardy in mid USDA zone 8. 5g @ $47 Asteraceae Opuntia violacea var. macrocentra black-spine prickly pear One of the most striking, southwestern prickly pears with the appearance of a small tree to 6 ft tall, this form to 3 ft, with round pads blushed pink, turning a deeper pink in winter with good light. This subspecies has wiry black spines at the tops of the pads making a striking combination. Flowers a cheery yellow-centerd apricot. Sun and well-drained soil. Drought tolerant but accepting of summer water. Frost hardy to 15F, mid USDA zone 8. 4D @ $15 Cactaceae Penstemon pinifolius 'Mersea Yellow' Long-lived perennial with evergreen, pine-like foliage and hundreds of small bright yellow flowers in late spring and summer. Hummingbird candy. This sport was discovered in England with a flower color that is quite unusual for this genus. Great on a sunny slope or rock garden. Grows to about 1 ft high x 2 ft wide. Needs good drainage in any soil and occasional summer water where dry. Prune back in March. Evergreen to -20, USDA zone 5, and frost hardy in zone 4, as kindly reported by a inhabitant of climates much colder than ours. 4in @ $5 Plantaginaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 172
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Phormium 'Dark Delight' dark delight new zealand flax A rich burgundy-black selection with wide leaves whose tips reflex just a bit -- lending a relaxed look to the entire plant. To 4-5 ft tall in time. Full to part sun and normal water with well-drained soil. Excellent in container. Mulch around the crown increases winter protection at 18F, upper USDA zone 8, as does wrapping specimens planted in pots. 5g @ $48 Xanthorrhoeaceae Phormium 'Ed Carmen' Striking and “new” Phormium shared with us years ago by Nurseryman, Ed Carmen---of the same name. Mid-sized, 4-5 ft flax with a gray-purple leaf edged cream; one of the most unusual and good in the but less fortunate for propagation. Same culture as for other Phormiums, bright light and damp soil. Frost hardy to mid USDA zone 8 - 15F or so. 5g @ $52 Xanthorrhoeaceae Phormium 'Firebird' A medium sized, New Zealand flax -- to 4-5’ tall the leaves colored cherry-red with bronze-green margins, fading to bronze-orange later in the season. Very nice. This clone has proven to not have reversion problems like some of the other colorful selections. Bright light; well-drained soil; dappled shade in the hottest summer climates. Protect the crowns with mulch for increased hardiness, especially when or where temperatures hover below 20 F for any amount of time. 5g @ $48 Xanthorrhoeaceae Phormium 'Golden Ray' golden ray new zealand flax A newer selection brought to us only a couple of years ago, this New Zealand flax, to only about 4 ft, produces upright, clumping leaves streaked a creamy gold and green with nearly burgundy margins. Like other flax, prefers full to dappled sun and decently well-drained soil, though can take nearly standing water in very cool summer climates. This selection is particularly beautiful planted with burgundies or against red brick. Frost hardy to 15F or so, mid USDA zone 8; a little less hardy in container. 5g @ $48 Xanthorrhoeaceae Phormium 'Green Glow' green glow new zealand flax Not just a plain Jane flax, this hefty leaved, red-margined puppy is a tougher, larger, and better phormium. Grows to 5 ft or more. Best in sun to part shade with some summer water. Frost hardy to 14F, mid USDA zone 8. Mulch for protection against winter freezes. Wonderful in pots where additional winter protection or a vacation under cover is important. 5g @ $48 Phormium 'Jack Spratt' An old cultivar that has proven to be extremely tough in the Pacific Northwest. To only 18"-2 ft tall, with dark reddish leaves that are a bit twisted, this phormium can be a workhorse in your garden, in large plantings, or in containers. Accepts full to part sun and, though somewhat drought tolerant prefers regular summer water. Should have reasonable drainage as well. Frost hardy to 15F, USDA zone 8b, but may resprout from lower temperatures if protected. 4D @ $12, 1g @ $16 Xanthorrhoeaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 173
