Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Sisyrinchium striatum 'Aunt May' This gorgeous iris relative is coveted by collectors and it's easy to see why. Aunt May behaves herself in the garden unlike the rest of that side of the family. With mostly evergreen, creamy variegated foliage with dainty yellow flowers in mid summer this is a clumper that spreads out slowly. Nice accent, border, or wall plant. Stands out in any container combination. Easy and frost hardy to mid USDA zone 8. 6in @ $14 Iridaceae Talbotia elegans false dracena One of the more peculiar South African asparagus relatives, this lovely perennial has rosette forming, deep green leaves, long and narrow on trailing stems, and star-shaped, white flowers with a sweet coconut scent we look forward to each spring. Makes a lovely shade to half sun container specimen or small-scale garden plant. Slow growing, it seems to take the dimmest conditions … or gardeners like us on occasion … in stride. Likes even moisture, especially in container, and accepts any well-drained soil. Frost hardy in upper USDA zone 8 and above. 4D @ $12 Velloziaceae Trachycarpus latisectus windamere palm This hardy variation on windmill palm has much larger leaves, many more segments to each leaf and leaf tips that usually droop. Reaches 20 ft tall over time. More showy than T. fortunei. Site our of wind in sun to part shade with regular summer water. Fronds are hardy into the low 20s F, USDA zone 9, with plants recovering in the low to mid teens, mid zone 8. 5g @ $55, 7g @ $95, 15g @ $175 Arecaceae Trachycarpus martianus - Khasia Hills Form himalayan windmill palm This most graceful Himalayan windmill palm, to 30 ft in time, is easily recognized by its narrow petioles and wide fans lined in short fur. The trunk often sheds its wool in age; unusual for a Trachycarpus. The entire tree has a decidedly more tropical effect than others of its genus and … well... for good reason.…It is. Unlike the below 0F frost hardiness hardiness of T. fortunei, 15 to 20F, mid USDA zone 8, seems to be the lower limit of this lovely plant. Enjoys sun and summer water. Plant where protected or use as a container plant. 1g @ $22 Arecaceae Ugni molinae 'Flambeau' variegated chilean guava Fabulous foliage, the small leaves variegated in green, creams, and pink on this small, evergreen shrub, slowly to 3 ft tall x 4 ft wide. Flowers are nodding pink bells that produce delicious edible berries in the fall. Sun to part sun with shelter from wind, well-drained soil and consistent water. Frost hardy to mid USDA zone 8. 1g @ $14 Myrtaceae Urginea maritima sea squill Think of this as a eucomis with a serious attitude. Huge bulbs (up to 6" in diameter) throw up 5 ft tall, purplescaped inflorescences with pale white to lavender flowers. Foliage grows from November on, going dormant in summer and blooming in August-September. Best in full sun with super drainage and very little summer water. Foliage is frost hardy to the low 20s and bulbs survive in upper USDA zone 8. 2g @ $24 Liliaceae / Asparagaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 178
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Yucca aloifolia 'Blue Boy' A plant Sean knew at the Berkeley Botanic garden, now sometimes sold as Y. aloifolia 'Purpurea', with somewhat soft, arching leaves that are green with purplish highlights in summer, turning more red in winter temperatures. Very tropical. To 4-6 ft. Sun to part sun and well-drained, lean soil with only occasional summer water once established. Frost hardy to 15 to 20F, mid USDA zone 8. An outstanding pot plant. 4D @ $15, 2g @ $24 Agavaceae Yucca filifera Tree forming yucca and one of the most sculptural, the trunk eventually forming a swollen base and slowly branching. To upwards of 15 ft tall, with 2 ft rosettes of tightly held blue-green leaves covered with delicately intertwining filifers. Fabulous garden or container specimen for full sun and well-drained soil. Happy with summer moisture and winter drought, though quite versatile provided temperatures don't drop below 15F for extended periods. Cold hardy into the mid teens, mid-USDA zone 8; colder with exceptional drainage. 5g @ $47 Agavaceae Yucca tehuacana A most handsome, trunk-forming yucca from the Mexican state of Puebla, to an eventual 8-10 ft -- possibly more, but none of us will live that long. Narrow, blue-green leaves in abundance make a beautiful and most architectural rosette even before lift-off. Flowers are white tinted rose-pink on slightly leaning towers. Sun, lean soil, and some summer water to boost growth. Frost hardy to 10 to 15 F, low to mid USDA zone 8 if winter dry; otherwise protect below 15F. Fabulous container plant. 6in @ $16 Agavaceae USDA zone: 9 Aeonium arboreum 'Variegatum' Sedum relative with branching, compact growth of variegated succulent rosettes. Excellent as a container plant that can be brought inside if temperatures fall below the upper 20’s. Hardy to mid USDA zone 9. Full sun to part sun, growing approx 12” tall. 6in @ $12, 2g @ $22, 5g @ $38 Crassulaceae Agave 'Burnt Burgundy' Probable hybrid of A. victoriae-reginae and A. pelona, from Gregg Star who chose it for its unusual, smooth, burgundy-tinted leaves with dark margins. Small, to only 1 ft to 18", these slowly form clumps in full to part sun and lean, well-drained soil. Frost hardy so far to a little under 20F, just below USDA zone 9, in our now Eucalyptus-shaded agave patch, but a fine pot specimen in colder climates. (Eucalyptus mulch optional.) 6in @ $18, 2g @ $28 Agavaceae Agave 'Kissho Kan' lucky crown century plant Stunning blue-gray leaves edged in white make this symmetrical rosette an outstanding addition to any collection. Yellow leaf spines darken to reddish brown adding distinction. To 15” tall x 18” wide and slowly offsetting. Needs light, and well-drained soil. Frost hardy to USDA zone 9. Best in container protected from winter wet where temperatures drop below the 20s F. 6in @ $18 Agavaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 179
