Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Agave americana 'Variegata' Striking plant with beautiful curved, blue leaves edged in rich cream. Fine in pots or as an imposing garden icon where winter temperatures seldom dive to below 20ºF - USDA zone 9 - for any length of time; has survived 8F with dry, overhead protection. A plant in Brookings, OR measures 10 x 10 ft. after 10 years. 1g @ $18 Agavaceae Agave americana 'Yellow Ribbons' yellow ribbons century plant Succulent gray-green leaves with creamy yellow margins and sharp spines along the edges form rosettes eventually reaching 4-6 ft tall by 6-8 ft wide, selected by San Marcos Growers for its more open habit and slightly arching leaves. A dramatic addition to the landscape in full sun and lean, well-drained soil. Drought tolerant requiring little to no summer water. Frost hardy to 15F, USDA zone 8b, and fine in containers with winter protection. 3g @ $47 Agavaceae Agave ornithobroma maguey pajarito Wonderful, short-trunk forming species from subtropical western Mexico, these collections from Sinaloa at under 500 ft elevation -- did we say warm? Closely related to A. geminiflora, the 18" rosettes, with extremely narrow, flexible leaves of dark green, are beautifully framed by a gazillion curly white filifers or hairs. Quite happy with a fair amount of moisture; winter drought decreases chance of problems. We have had this in our garden, hardy for the last few years with luck. Really, it should be protected below the mid 20ºs F so best for mildest parts of the world or as fabulously small-scale container plants. USDA zone 9/10. Full sun to dappled shade in a bright window, or your nearest lava outcrop. 1g @ $16 Agavaceae Agave salmiana var. ferox giant agave Huge, scary agave, to 4-6 ft tall x 6-12 ft wide over time, with an urn-shaped silhouette made up of foot wide, gray leaves. Originating in Mexico, these are common as accents in gardens with Mediterranean climates, as they rarely flower. Sun, good drainage, and very little summer water is necessary. Cold hardy in USDA zone 9, to 20-25F. Good for containers. 5g @ $47 Agavaceae Asparagus retrofractus ming fern A clumping, woody perennial to 5-6 ft tall, with soft, wispy foliage on open stems. Increases in height and vigor as it becomes more established. Flowers are small and white in open sprays that carry the aroma of coconut. Very decorative orange berries follow. Full sun to shade with little summer water once established in the ground. Frost hardy to only 20F, USDA zone 9, so best in a container in PDX, with water and protection when temperatures drop below. 5g @ $47 Asparagaceae Boronia megastigma 'Hot Chocolate'' Burgundy flowers in winter and spring on this small, evergreen shrub. Fragrant flowers and aromatic foliage. Prefers sun to part shade and moist, well-drained soil. Especially good in pots where protection can be provided when temperatures drop to the low 20s F, USDA zone 9. 1g @ $14 Rutaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 180
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Brachyglottis 'Leonard Cockayne' Luxurious hybrid between Brachyglottis monroi and the much larger B. repanda, the 5” to even 6” leaves -covered with tawny to silver fur on shrubs reaching 4-5 ft -- give the feeling of a comfortable velour chair with bold texture. Grown for the foliage, the light yellow, daisy-like flowers seem rather ho hum. Loves coolish and consistently damp soil. We have found it frost hardy to about 20F, USDA zone 9, having seen it freeze to the ground at about 17F. Resprouts if mulched. Enjoys bright light in all but the hottest afternoon sun. 4D @ $7 Asteraceae Cussonia paniculata ssp. sinuata - UCBG mountain cabbage tree A unique, South African tree - or tall shrub - with evergreen, compound leaves of up to 13 blue-green, deeply lobed leaflets on the end of long stems. Because there are frost hardy in USDA zone 9, pot culture is recommended in the Pacific Northwest, with plants spending the summer in sun to light shade and winters where the light is bright and the temperatures remain above freezing. To 10 ft or so in container. Requires regular water. Rewarding and worth the effort. 1g @ $18 Araliaceae Cyathea cooperi lacy tree fern This Australian tree fern is well known in cultivation, growing quickly at nearly 1 ft per year to 12 ft tall in good conditions, part sun to dappled shade with regular water and fertilizer. The trunk is slender, to only 3-6" thick while the lacy fronds can reach 8 ft long. Less hardy than C. brownii and C. australis, where temperatures go below the upper 20s F, these can be grown in a pot and, for best results, brought indoors at freezing temperatures. Planted in the garden, they can be lifted or wrapped if cold temperatures threaten. 7g @ $65 Cyatheaceae Dendrobium kingianum rock orchid Epiphytic orchid that handles cool temperatures and extended drought like a charm. A tough and variable species from E. Australia with flowers from white-pink to magenta-red and leaves from spring-green to winter-purple. Withstands temperatures down into the 20s F and sunny droughts for months at a time -- Mediterranean coastal climate stuff. Outstanding container plant. Beginners (probably) won't kill it, greenthumbs will make it thrive. 4in @ $16 Orchidaceae Dicksonia antarctica tasmanian tree fern This highly sought after fern matures with huge 6 ft+ fronds. Can achieve a considerable trunk with age. Best out of winds & under the high shade of evergreen trees. Sails through most years, but requires wrapping or lifting at 20F or so. Well worth it. Spore grown; NOT the wild collected trunks some sell. 1g @ $18, 3g @ $32 Dicksoniaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 181
