<strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong>: n/a<br />
Cerinthe major<br />
The flowers on this Mediterranean annual are out <strong>of</strong> this world! Blue-purple bells dangle like precious jewels<br />
from glaucous, rubbery leaves. A lover <strong>of</strong> cool spring weather, this charmer does best in average to poor soil<br />
with sun and a spl<strong>as</strong>h <strong>of</strong> water now and again. Will reseed if happy. 2 ft x 2 ft. Annual in all <strong>zone</strong>s.<br />
4in @ $3 Boraginaceae<br />
<strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong>:<br />
Agave americana ssp. protoamericana century plant<br />
A robust, stout, particularly silver-blue form from northe<strong>as</strong>tern Mexico, the 6 ft or larger rosettes have proven<br />
a bit more moisture and cold resilient than its cousins. Surviving temperatures <strong>of</strong> 10 to 15F with good<br />
drainage, it reaches its greatest potential in large containers or in the open ground. Makes a fine focal point.<br />
5g @ $47 Agavaceae<br />
Leymus arenarius 'Findhorn'<br />
1g @ $12 Poaceae<br />
<strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong>: 10b<br />
Portulacaria afra elephant plant<br />
Striking succulent from Africa, sometimes called small-leaved jade, can reach 12 ft or so in the wild but much<br />
less in captivity -- possibly 4 ft tall. Leaves are small, round, and fleshy, green against dark red stems.<br />
Flowers in small pink clusters in late spring to early summer are a bonus. Sun and lean, well-drained soil that<br />
drys out some between waterings. A <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 10 plant -- no freezing temperatures -- that does well indoors<br />
in good light. Excellent <strong>as</strong> a bonsai subject.<br />
4in @ $4, 2g @ $20 Didieraceae<br />
