Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Echeveria 'Morning Beauty' Small succulent, a single, crowded rosette of up to 50, glaucous blue-gray leaves with tapering tips and pink to red margins. Drought tolerant in full sun to part and well-drained soil where the roots can be kept a bit cool and occasional water is provided. To 1 ft tall and wide. Frost hardy to 20F, USDA zone 9. Where temperatures drop lower, fine in containers with winter protection. 1g @ $12 Crassulaceae Echeveria 'Violet Queen' Lovely, ground-covering succulent, to only a few inches tall, of gray-tinged-red rosettes to 6-8" across, the curved leaves creating a lotus blossom shape. Cold weather adds more red coloration. Best in full sun on the coast or light shade inland where soil is well-drained. Drought tolerant but best with occasional water. Frost hardy to 20F, USDA zone 9 and lovely in containers with winter protection. 1g @ $12 Crassulaceae Echeveria agavoides 'Red Gem' A handsome succulent with larger than normal, red rosettes of pointed, fleshy leaves, waxy green. To 1 ft tall x 8" wide, these are larger than most echeverias. Especially charming in summer when pink flowers stand above the rosettes on nodding stems. Sun is best with occasional water, allowing pots to dry out some before adding moisture. Frost hardy to 20F, USDA zone 9, so best in container where temperatures drop below. 6in @ $12 Echium fastuosum pride of madeira Make room for this huge biennial in your garden. Six or more feet of furry leaves with huge upthrusting panicles of purple flowers. Stunning. Full sun, not much summer water. Hardy to 20F or so. 3g @ $18 Boraginaceae Echium wildpretii tower of jewels An extraordinary addition to the dry garden, one of the plants in our garden that receives the most comment when in bloom with its huge column of dark red-pink flowers, to 4-8 ft tall, rising out of the low-growing rosette of narrow, silvery leaves. This native of the Canary Islands is a biennial, forming a handsome, 2 ft rosette in the first year and blooming spectacularly beginning in spring of the second year. Produces abundant seed to perpetuate itself, especially if surrounding soil is loose and undisturbed. Best in full sun, very welldrained soil, and little or no summer water once established. Frost hardy in USDA zone 9. 3g @ $18 Boraginaceae Ensete ventricosum 'Maurelii' red abyssinian banana This red leaved banana is a stunning, though non-permanent, addition to your garden. Its huge translucent leaves catch the light. Grows 10-15 ft in a season. Sun, water and food make it happy. Overwinter indoors or treat as a temporary addition to your garden ... as it's only hardy into the mid twenties for brief periods. Frost hardy to upper USDA zone 9. qt @ , 5g @ $18 Musaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 182
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Eucalyptus nicholii narrow leaved black peppermint One of the smaller leaved eucalypts, growing to 30 ft or so, the bark on this gum has a rough, almost fibrous, texture, a nice contrast to the extremely narrow grey-green leaves. Pinkish flowers reek of peppermint.. like that’s a problem... Full sun, good drainage, and little summer water. Can suffer leaf burn at 15-20F, but will often resprout from 10 - 15F. 2g @ $18 Myrtaceae Haemanthus albiflos - dwarf form Lovely amaryllis from South Africa's Drakensberg Mountains, this form given to us by California plantswoman Myrtle Wolf, each bulb sitting above ground with thickened, opposite leaves covered with a most endearing fur. The plants quickly offset, the larger bulbs producing white flowers consisting mostly of stamens, looking well….like floss or a shaving brush…. Bright light for best look and regular summer water. Has actually been garden hardy for us in USDA zone 8 in protected spots but we recommend small containers anywhere temperatures drop to 20F, bottom of USDA zone 9. 6in @ $14 Amaryllidaceae Haworthia angustifolia var. liliputana This South African member of a very large genus is one of the tiniest. A childhood plant -- that is, having been in our/Sean's collection since some time in the early 70s-- that has rosettes of little teeny weeny, pointed leaves, each about the size of a nickel, growing fairly quickly to form 5-6 “ clumps in a few years. A lover of either winter or summer moisture but tolerant of drought any time. The perfect plant for a windowsill or for a miniature container garden -- perhaps in a teeny tiny condo. Good drainage is a must in full light to dappled shade except in the hottest climates. A rock garden plant in USDA zone 9 or above. 4in @ $7 Asphodelaceae Magnolia lanuginosa Little known evergreen magnolia with little history in this country, perfect for those who love to experiment with these rewarding plants. What little information there is has been generously supplied by Dick Figlar, expert in all things magnolia. Once known as Michelia velutina, and still considered a member of the michelia group in the genus magnolia, these trees have narrow, strap-like leaves, to 4-7" long x 2-3" wide, pale matte green on top and paler on the underside. Autumn flowers are creamy white and scented cinnamon vanilla. Though frost hardiness is unknown these are suspected to be somewhat warm-blooded, USDA zone 9ish. Experiment and let us know. 5g @ $52 Magnoliaceae Magnolia megaphylla This exquisite rarity from just a few ravines near the China-Vietnam border spends much of its time as an understory plant. Though they can grow to 50 feet or more, most remain much shorter in garden conditions. Leaves reach 15" long with the undersides, stems and buds covered in a golden indumentum. White flowers are 10 inches in width, but apparently last all of 15 to 20 minutes as with so many other Magnolias. Prefers at least part shade in areas of low humidity. Cold hardy to 15 to 20 F, otherwise makes a spectacular container specimen. 5g @ $57 Magnoliaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 183
