Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Pelargonium 'Vancouver Centennial' One of the most exciting of the fancy leaved Pelargoniums in years, this small shrub-perennial reaches only about 3' with leaves, scalloped and only about 3" wide,marked brick-red, orange, and chartreuse, and orangered flowers. A fine container plant especially where other oranges or maroons are used in the garden. Usually reliable in USDA zone 9, but where temperatures fall below the mid 20ºs F cuttings should be taken in mid fall. You know the rest. Qt @ $7 Geraniaceae Phoenix canariensis canary island date palm Perfect for a protected patio in the Northwest, this is the familiar palm of Market Street in San Francisco. Large, bold fronds up to 10’ long. Containerize for best results as one in five Portland winters will take it out. Even water and food. 5g @ $47 Arecaceae Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Silver Magic' A delicate, evergreen shrub, possibly to 8 ft in time, with foliage floating on thin, dark stems, the small silver leaves often tinged pink. Best when backed by a darker evergreen. Site out of wind and close to a path to be admired. Same culture as for other evergreen Pittosporum tenuifolium, well drained soil, bright light, and even moisture. Frost hardy in the upper teens F, upper USDA zone 8, so mulch and overhead protection recommended where temperatures drop lower. 5g @ $42 Pittosporaceae Platycerium bifurcatum staghorn fern A fern and an epiphyte to be grown in a moisture retentive medium such as sphagnum moss in an open basket. Bright light but out of direct sun. Plants get their moisture through the air and thrive when misted daily. They can also be dunked weekly, preferably in rainwater. Hardy outdoors in USDA zone 9. A pot or basket plant below. 4D @ $14 Polypodiaceae Rhopalostylis sapida shaving brush palm New Zealand native, from dense forests with lots of rain, this the furthest south growing palm and this collection from the southernmost area in which it grows. A lover of cool coastal conditions. To 15-20 ft or so and very s-l-o-w-l-y... Frost hardy briefly into the teens F. Sun along the coast, dappled shade inland and summer water in dry climates. The perfect plant for Brookings, Oregon. 1g @ $26 Arecaceae Sedum rubrotinctum 'Aurora' pink pork & beans Very nice stonecrop for tucking into pots or for the indoor succulent collection. Grows to 6" tall and spreads to 18-36" wide producing yellowish white flowers in the summer standing above the pink and cream flushed foliage. In the ground needs only sun and little summer water once established. In containers requires more regular moisture. Frost hardy in USDA zone 9. 4in @ $5 Crassulaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 184
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Thamnochortus insignis A fabulous restio from South Africa, forming 3 ft clumps up to 6 ft tall or more. A beautiful accent plant! Prefers sun, good air circulation, and sandy, well-drained soil -- but adapts to many soil types. Drought tolerant, but water regularly to establish. Plenty frost hardy in USDA zone 9 with many horticultural reports into upper USDA zone 8. Our recommendation: protect at 20F for plants in the ground; 25F for container specimens. 1g @ $28, 5g @ $57 Restionaceae x Graptoveria 'Opalina' Newly released in 2008, this is a beautiful bigeneric hybrid of Graptopetalum amethystinum and Echeveria 'Opalina' resulting in rosettes of 4" truly opalescent leaves of blue-gray with lavender blushes and pink tones on the tips and margins especially in bright light. Flowers are pink and echeveria-like. An easy grower, to 1 ft tall or so, and easily replanted should stems become top heavy. Plant in well-drained soil in bright light with regular water, i.e., every few weeks. Best in container for winter protection. Frost hardy to 20F, USDA zone 9. 1g @ $14 Crassulaceae Yucca periculosa From semi-arid slopes at mid to high elevations in southern Mexico, this small tree, to 20 ft or so and eventually branching, forms multiple rosettes of blue-green leaves, with evenly spaced, small filifers and outward facing flowers. For sun, lean soil, and dry places but enjoys an occasional summer thunderstorm. Has been unusually tolerant of frost for its southern latitude habitat, being reliable to about 20F, USDA zone 9, and a bit lower if winter dry. Otherwise a particularly nice container plant for many years, appearing like bonsai with its swollen caudex of a trunk. 4D @ $12, 2g @ $12 Agavaceae USDA zone: 9b Aeonium 'Cyclops' giant red aeonium Reddish-bronze leaves with a green “eye” in the center are a standout on this large Aeonium, to 4-5 ft tall and 3-4 ft wide. A cross between the darker A. ‘Zwartkop’ and the more wavy leaved A. undulatum, these succulents are cold hardy to 25F, so best in pots or a very! protected area. Well-drained soil in sun or shade with little water for plants in the ground, a bit more in containers. 6in @ $12 Crassulaceae Aeonium 'Jolly Green' Jolly green indeed! A low-growing succulent that remains under 1 ft tall x 1-2 ft wide -- wider over time, with multiple green rosettes, each 8-10" wide. Pale, greenish yellow flowers cluster among the leaves in summer. Sun and well-drained soil is best with little water required in summer and almost none in winter. Frost hardy to 25F, USDA zone 9b, so, where temperatures drop lower, best in containers with winter protection. 1g @ $14 Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 185
