Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Phormium 'Maori Chief' One of the larger and most deeply colored of the "maori' series, a mid-sized plant from 4-6 ft with upright leaves edged and streaked in deep pink to almost cerise with some light pink and cream appearing as the leaves age. This form has been on the scene for awhile, but it is too seldom available. Bright light for best color though dappled shade prevents bleaching in hot summer climates. Good container plant. We have ours planted with deep pupled leaved Loropetalum chinense and Trachelospermum asiaticum 'First snow'. Hardy to the mid to upper teens F; lower with protection. 5g @ $52 Xanthorrhoeaceae Phormium 'Sea Jade' Dark gunmetal streaks through deep jade foliage on this medium-sized phormium to 4 ft or so eventually forming clumps as wide. This cultivar seems to bloom more easily than most. Grow in sun to part shade with some summer water where dry. For winter protection, mulch about the base of the plant to avoid freezing should temperatures dip below the upper teens F, upper USDA zone 8. 5g @ $48 Xanthorrhoeaceae Phormium 'Sundowner' For bold foliage effect, ‘Sundowner’ literally shines. Five or six feet of wide leaves with a green central stripe and pink margins. Hum baby.... Full to part sun with normal water. Frost hardy to upper USDA zone 8 with mulch and protection from freezing. 5g @ $48 Xanthorrhoeaceae Phormium 'Yellow Wave' new zealand flax The broad, arching leaves of this flax emerge with a wide, brilliant yellow, central band that darkens over the summer. Plants are 3-4 ft tall x 3-4 ft wide in full to half sun with regular summer water. Frost hardy into the upper teens F, upper USDA zone 8, but should be wrapped or lifted when temperatures dip below 18F. Selected by New Zealands Mt. F. July. Occasional leaves that emerge green should be trimmed away to maintain color. 5g @ $48 Xanthorrhoeaceae Phormium cookianum ssp. hookeri 'Tricolor' Upright to gently weeping form, striated nearly white, cream with green margins tinted red at the base and tips. In winter, a pinkish-red hue becomes much more dominant. To 3-4 ft, this compact plant adds a bit of a spikey architecture to the garden, only enhanced by its stark variegations. Reportedly on of the more frost hardy forms, it has survived near 0º F in the United Kingdom but has once received damage in these parts in the low teens. Full sun to lightly dappled shade for best form. Even summer water. 5g @ $47 Xanthorrhoeaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 174
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Phormium tenax 'Guardsman' guardsman new zealand flax The king of the flax, this giant grows to 8-10 ft or more with large, excruciatingly slowly offsetting fans of wide, saturated red-pink, coral, and deep maroon-green. Certainly one of the most striking in color and, as Murphy's Law would have it, the slowest to divide. This year, we finally have a few large divisions (and have decided not to have people sign adoption papers). Same hardiness and growing conditions as the others. Bright light is good; afternoon dappled shade in hot climates for best color. Divide when pot bound and protect below mid to upper teens (you'll need a ladder.) 5g @ $65 Xanthorrhoeaceae Phormium tenax var. lineatum new zealand flax Extremely upright and stiff selection. To 5 ft perhaps in time. Full to part sun with normal garden water. Protect at 20F or use in a container that can be wheeled into a protected spot during an arctic event. 5g @ $47 Xanthorrhoeaceae Pinus patula mexican weeping pine One of the most outstanding of all Mexican pines, this lovely species from the mountains north of Mexico City easily achieves 25-30 ft in the garden, and quite quickly we might add, eventually becoming taller. Striking copper-orange bark and weeping needles of a cheery light green. Good for woodland edge specimen or even tropical effect. Plants from this collection have been reliable from 12 to 15 F, USDA zone 8, with no needle burn; browning would be expected below. Drought tolerant though reliable summer water speeds growth. 2g @ $37 Pinaceae Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Silver Sheen' Small ever-silver leaves float above black stems on this delicate shrub. Lovely alone, backed by a darker evergreen, or as a possible hedge, growing to over 10-12 ft in time. Sun to part shade with regular summer moisture. Avoid wet feet. Site out of wind for protection and close to a path to be admired. Hardy in USDA zone 8. 5g @ $42 Pittosporaceae Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Tom Thumb' One of the oldest selections with striking, maroon leaves on compact plants to about 5 ft. The dense mounds are deeply purple in winter with wonderfully contrasting, chartreuse, new growth in mid spring just when the cinnamon-scented, small, nearly black flowers appear. In cultivation for many years, though never common on the US West Coast, these should be much more available, especially for coastal gardens. Bright light and well-drained, fairly infertile soils with regular water. Upper USDA zone 8. 2g @ $28 Pittosporaceae Pittosporum tobira 'Turner's Dwarf'' One of the evergreen "mock oranges," so named for its transcendental fragrance, evocative of orange blossoms, from small, white spring flowers. A smallish shrub, to 4-6 ft tall x 4 ft wide with variegated foliage, the light green leaves edged in creamy white. Full sun for best bud set, but tolerates dappled shade. Best in a fairly warm, sunny spot against the shelter of a wall or building. Frost hardy in mid USDA zone 8. 6in @ $14, 2g @ $24 Pittosporaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 175
