Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Yucca nana Exquisite and tiny yucca from the San Rafael Swell of southern Utah. The 6-8" rosettes, with their undulate, glaucous blue leaves edged white, seem as if a bunch of blue star fish were playing leap frog. Slowly multiplying to form a small colony. Spectacular in garden or in pots: we have placed ours in a stone wall. Would love bright light and free draining soil, preferably high in mineral content, but, really, not very fussy. Small 2-3 ft spikes of pearly white flowers appear on mature plants in May and June. Frost hardy in USDA zone 4, if not 3. 4D @ $16 Agavaceae USDA zone: 5 Acorus gramineus 'Variegatus' grassy-leaved sweet flag Grassy, iris-like leaves with cream and golden-yellow variegation stand 12-18" tall, forming clumps to 1 ft wide or so, spreading by underground rhizomes. Summer flowers - sedge-like, tiny and green - contrast with variegated foliage. Easy in the garden, they enjoy sun or part shade in the hottest places and moist soils, even tolerating boggy conditions or standing water to 3" deep. Should not be allowed to dry out. Evergreen in USDA zone 8 and root hardy to zone 5. 1g @ $11 Acoraceae Adiantum venustum himalayan madenhair fern Striking maidenhair fern with lacy foliage that emerges bronzy pink and ages to a gentle green that stands out again the black stems. To only 6” tall, spreading slowly by underground rhizomes to form a clump up to 3 ft across. Light shade with plentiful moisture is best and encourages faster growth. Evergreen to the mid teens F, mid USDA zone 8 and root hardy to at least –20F, USDA zone 5. Also does well in containers, indoors and out. 6in @ $11 Pteridaceae Akebia quinata 'Brocade' Five-leaf akebia with fragrant flowers, interesting fruit, and variegated compound leaves in a brocade of white, cream and green, the white turning rose in winter, this form remaining more evergreen than the species. Purplish, 3-petalled flowers appear in spring followed by 4" purple pods - think large, purple, lima beans - though vines do not always fruit in cultivation. A handsome, fine-textured vine, to 12-25 ft tall, in sun to part sun with regular summer water. Can be used as a vigorous, scrambling ground cover as well. Easily frost hardy to -20F, USDA zone 5. 1g @ $18 Lardizabalaceae Arisaema candidissimum pink flowered cobra lily A cobra lily that does well in sun to light shade. This from China sends up flowers stalks in late spring to early summer topped with a pink pitcher flower, sweetly fragrant and beautifully striped with white veins. Two huge, three-lobed leaves, up to 2 ft across, follow to open beside the exotic flowers. A must have plant! Easy in sun to light or dappled shade where soil is well-drained, even rocky, and somewhat dry. Offsets quickly when happy. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5. 4D @ $22 Araceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 18
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Asplenium scolopendrium hart's tongue fern Evergreen fern with bright green, leathery, tongue-shaped fronds forming erect clumps up to 1-1.5 ft tall and wide. This European native for part to full shade is best grown in rich, very well-drained soil with average summer moisture. Thrives in alkaline, limestone soils as well. Frost hardy to -20F, USDA zone 5. 6in @ $12 Aspleniaceae Berberis replicata This clone from the UK via Western Hills Nursery is perhaps more bronze leaved that the wild species. Evergreen, arching shrub, to 3 ft tall, with yellow spines, pale yellow flowers in late spring, and red berries ripening to black in autumn. Handsome foliage. For full to part sun in well-drained soil and average summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5. 5g @ $47 Berberidaceae Blechnum spicant deer fern Native to Europe and western North America, this tough fern has shiny, evergreen foliage reaching to about 18” x 2 ft wide. Best in part to full shade in rich soil with average moisture. Somewhat drought tolerant once established. Spreads by creeping rhizomes that can be divided in the spring. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5. 2g @ $11 Blechnaceae Bupleurum spinosum spiny hare's ear This is one of the smaller bupleurum species, forming a small mound of dense, evergreen foliage, blue-green and spine-tipped, remaining under 2 ft tall. In spring plants are covered with angular sprays of teenyweeny yellow flowers that are both striking and sculptural in the garden. Tolerates dry summer conditions once established, requiring little summer water in full sun and gritty soil that drains well. Frost hardy to -20F, USDA zone 5. 4D @ $14 Apiaceae Buxus sempervirens 'Compact' Compact form of our favorite boxwood, evergreen and remaining smallish, to only 5 ft tall or so and easily trimmed to any size. Makes a perfect edging for a path or low hedge. Prefers well-drained soil in sun to part shade, dappled or afternoon shade and enjoys regular water in summer drought tolerant if well established with deep roots. Frost hardy to -30F, USDA zone 5. 2g @ $28 Buxaceae Callicarpa dichotoma 'Duet' variegated white beautyberry Recently released by the U.S. National Arboretum and shared with us by plantsman Ted Stephens, this fabulous, variegated sport of C. dichotoma f. albafructus was discovered at Tennessee Technological University by Dr. Gary Bachman and Mr. Edgar Davis. A gracefully rounded, deciduous shrub, to 5-6 ft tall, the medium green leaves dressed with creamy yellow margins fading to white and clusters of white berries from late summer into late autumn. Easy in full sun to half shade with regular summer for best fruiting.
