Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Senecio cylindricus narrow-leaf chalksticks South African succulent, low-growing and spreading, to 1-2 ft tall x 3-5 ft wide, the upturned stems covered with narrow, green, tubular leaves. Clusters of pale flowers appear in late spring to early summer. Best in a protected spot in full sun where soil is very well-drained. Tolerates summer water or summer drought. Accepts winter rain where drainage is excellent. Frost hardy to only 25F, mid USDA zone 9 so best in a pot and wintered over with some extra warmth. 4in @ $6 Asteraceae x Sedeveria 'Jet Beads' jet beads stonecrop This brightly colored hybrid of sedum and echeveria, to only 4" tall, has small, succulent leaves of bronze and green along stems creating a beaded effect and a striking bicolor texture. Foliage darkens to nearly black in cooler weather. Full sun to light shade in well-drained soil with little summer water necessary once established. Frost hardy to 25F, mid USDA zone 9. A fabulous addition to containers or troughs. 4D @ $6 Crassulaceae USDA zone: 10 Aloe 'White Fox' Stunning small aloe, the succulent leaves white -- and becoming whiter in bright light -- decorated with pale green spots. To only 2-4" tall x 6" wide. Best in well drained soil in full to part sun. Frost hardy only to 30F, USDA zone 10, (possibly a bit below) so best kept in containers to be moved indoors in winter and allowed to dry a bit before watering. Both heat and drought tolerant in the ground. A nice addition to the succulent collection outdoors or in. 1g @ $11 Xanthorrhoeaceae Brugmansia 'Charles Grimaldi' One of the first and best cultivars. Obscene quantities of bright salmon-pink bells emit a transcendental fragrance. To 4-8 ft tall. Water like crazy and provide fertilizer (lots lots lots!!!) for best blooms. Frost hardy in USDA zone 10 so lift to store indoors in winter or grow in container where temperatures approach freezing. Though root hardy into the teens, plants in the ground come into bloom very late, so our favorite plants are in containers and kept just above freezing with minimal water in winter. Though plants may lose their leaves, their stems remain intact and ready in spring to begin blooming and offering up their intoxicating scent. 15g @ $47 Solanaceae Crassula capitella 'Campfire' Branching succulent with a mostly prostrate habit, to less than a foot tall and a few feet wide, bearing spikes of white flowers in summer. The fleshy leaves glow bright red as they mature. Unfortunately they wilt below 30F or so. Great in a container that can be brought to a sunny windowsill in winter. Sun to part shade. Frost hardy in USDA zone 10. 6in @ $11 Crassulaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 190
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Crassula ovata 'Hummel's Sunset' golden jade plant Shrubby jade plant, this with leaves flushed and margined with golden yellow and copper-red along the margins. This one is a little smaller, denser, and more compact than the species, reaching only 2-3 ft high. Fine in bright light or dappled shade with little water necessary. Does not tolerate frost so best in containers to be moved indoors when weather becomes cold. Frost hardy in USDA zone 10. 1g @ $12 Crassulaceae Crassula ovata 'Tricolor' variegated jade plant Variegated jade plant, the dark green, succulent leaves decorated with creamy white irregular markings. A lovely shrub and slow-growing, reaching only 1 ft tall in several years, in bright light or part shade. Very drought tolerant, needing only occasional water in summer and almost none in winter unless grown in container and requiring a bit more frequent attention. A fine succulent shrub outdoors where temperatures don't drop below freezing. Otherwise a happy container plant spending at least the winter months indoors in bright light. 4D @ $12 Crassulaceae Echeveria 'Ruffles' Ruffled red edges mark the green leaves of this rosette forming succulent, creating interesting colors and a lovely texture. To 12" tall and best in a bit of shade outdoors, otherwise bright light, with good drainage and occasional water in summer and much less in winter. Frost hardy to 30F, USDA zone 10. Fine in containers and a cheerful addition to a succulent collection. 1g @ $11 Crassulaceae Pelargonium 'Bird Dancer' A fetching Stellar geranium, the foliage shaped like a ruffled maple leaf has bands of dark maroon color, the perfect background for the pale pink "bird's foot" flowers held in dense, frilly clusters above the dark leaves from spring to early autumn. This is a dwarf form remaining under a foot tall and wide in full sun to part shade with summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 10 and a perfect container plant where temperatures drop below freezing. 4D @ $6 Geraniaceae Plectranthus sp. - trailing silver leaf For gardens or containers, just for this summer as these aren't winter hardy. But the large, silver foliage with spires of blue-pink blossoms is nice just for a season in the garden or in containers. Full to part sun with summer water. To 6" tall x 18" wide. Frost hardy in USDA zone 10. 4in @ $4 Lamiaceae x Gasteraloe 'Midnight' An intergeneric cross between an aloe and a gasteria, by Kelly Griffin of Rancho Soledad Nursery, resulting in a rosette-forming succulent, to 8-12" tall x 1-2 ft wide. The leaves are rough-textured with bitty bumps, dark green with red highlights. Flowers are orange in late winter, early spring. Only successful in the ground in USDA zone 10, but elsewhere, a good pot plant or year round houseplant. Bright light with well-drained soil and little water. 1g @ $12 Aloeaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 191
