Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Beaucarnea 'Gold Star' PP 14,650 variegated bottle palm Closely related to agaves and yuccas -- and not a palm at all -- this woody lily was discovered as a plant mutation of B. recurvata in The Netherlands in 1996. To 4-6 ft tall and wide eventually, the narrow green leaves margined in creamy yellow with red tinges surrounding a stem that arises from a swollen base. Needs good light -- full sun outdoors or bright light inside and infrequent but deep watering. Frost hardy to 25F, USDA zone 9b, but fine in containers that spend time in full sun outdoors. 2g @ $47 Nolinaceae Clivia miniata 'San Marcos Yellow' Unique, and exciting yellow-blooming clivia, flowering in mid to late winter through early spring, the blossoms followed by showy fruit, also yellow -- both making a good contrast with the rosettes of dark green, strap-like leaves. Evergreen, successful, and very tough in the dry shade in USDA zone 10 and tolerant of both summer water and temperatures into the low 20s F, USDA zone 9, but, for colder climates, also does well in containers that winter indoors. 1g @ $24 Amaryllidaceae Crassula radicans 'Large Red' This dense-growing succulent is a relative of the familiar Jade Plant. Growing to less than a foot high with plump leaves that give an overall appearance of a succulent leafy carpet. Very easy and adaptable, accepting drought with an occasional drink of water for optimal health. The plant takes on a lovely red glow if grown in full sun. Treat as a seasonal interest plant with the option of bringing it in for the winter as a houseplant. Frost hardy to 25F USDA zone 9b. 6in @ $9 Crassulaceae Jubaeopsis caffra pondo palm A most beautiful palm from S. Africa, slowly growing to 15-20 ft. Needs heat, good drainage, and unfortunately no freezing temperatures, so containers are the answer in the Pacific Northwest. Will eventually sucker to form a clump of plants. Frost hardy in USDA zone 9b. 5g @ $55 Arecaceae Kalanchoe 'Fantastic' PPAF varieated paddle plant A truly "fantastic" succulent with rosettes of 4-6" leaves, gray-green with lots of red highlights and splashes of cream to white variegations. Very colorful, very striking. Summer flowers are pale yellow and tubular on tall stems, to 2-3 ft. Plants reach 1-2 ft high x 2-3 ft wide at maturity. Introduced by Dave Fell of Hawaiian Sunshine Nursery in 2009, these plants love sun to light shade in well-drained soil with occasional summer water. Frost hardy in upper USDA zone 9, so best in containers, overwintered indoors in bright light with little water. 2g @ $38 Crassulaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 188
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Chocolate Soldier' panda plant, pussy ears It is the chocolate-brown margins and nearly black tips of the fuzzy, 2", oval leaves that give this plant its cultivar name. A succulent shrublet from Madagascar, forming clumps or tiny, tree-like plants, up to 1.5 ft tall, the leaves covered with silver-white fur. Bitty green flowers are rarely produced. Best in light shade to shade in very-well-drained soil with very little moisture, needing water only once month in season and never in winter -- even in pot culture. Frost hardy to 25F, mid USDA zone 9, for brief spells. Otherwise a great pot plant. 4in @ $6 Crassulaceae Pachyphytum oviferum moonstones A tender succulent with charming fat little blue leaves -- a little bit of architecture with color. Likes good drainage and heat in part to full sun away from reflected light. Occasional summer water and a bit of fertilizer. Best in container for winter protection. Frost hardy to 25F - mid USDA zone 9. 4in @ $5 Crassulaceae Pelargonium 'Violetty' Selected in The Netherlands in 2005 by Stephen Page, this unusual geranium has small, slightly ruffled, graygreen leaves and striking, bicolored flowers, with petals or purple-red standing above pale pink to white petals, charming and cheerful in spring to early summer. To 1 ft tall x 16" wide, these are evergreen and happy in full sun with medium summer water. Frost hardy only to the mid 20s F, USDA zone 9b, so best in a pot and given winter protection. 3D @ $7 Salvia discolor peruvian black sage Yes, it's hopelessly tender, but it has BLACK flowers! And shimmering leaves with white undersides too. A brilliant container plant for a hot sunny spot. Great for hanging baskets, as it has a tendency to flop. The leaves are rather sticky and smell of black currant. Take cuttings to overwinter, or protect from frost. USDA zone 9b. 25F. 6in @ $11 Lamiaceae Sedum nussbaumerianum donkey tail sedum Also called copperstone stonecrop, this sedum is low growing, to only 8" tall x 2-3 ft wide, with 1" pointed, succulent leaves, green with rosy bronze tints. Flowers are fragrant, appearing in white umbrels in late winter to spring. Likes full sun in well-drained soil with occasional summer water and fertilizer. Does well in coastal areas. Frost hardy in mid to upper USDA zone 9. In colder areas, a good container sedum or houseplant that trails willingly over edges. 4in @ $7 Crassulaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 189
