Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Dasylirion texanum texas sotol As the name would imply, this gem of a garden plant is native to west and southern Texas into Mexico and is one of the hardiest of the lot. Deep green rosettes, with small backward pointing spines and attractive golden filifers at the ends of the leaves, eventually form small trunks but are attractive as focal points or repeated rosettes in the garden. As denizens of the southern Great Plains, they love a thunderstorm or two in the summer and don't mind being dry in the winter, though they are tolerant of moisture. Sun to dappled shade, the main problem with dappled shade being dead leaves, not fun to pull out of the center of the plant -- your arm could get stuck that way, as my dad used to say about forbidden things. Reports tell us of frost tolerance up to -20F, USDA zone 5. Wow! Also great container plants. 10g @ $125 Liliaceae Delosperma basuticum 'White Nugget' ice plant Succulent, drought tolerant, evergreen groundcover from South Africa, to only 3" tall and spreading to 15" or so, with fat, rounded, shiny green leaves that have a reddish tinge in the fall. In spring, white, daisy-like flowers with yellow eyes cover the plant. Likes sun to part shade, lean soil that drains well, and very little summer water. Frost hardy to - 20F, USDA zone 5. 4in @ $5 Aizoaceae Delosperma nubigenum hardy yellow ice plant Mat forming succulent covered in summer with yellow daisy-like flowers. To less than 6" tall forming mats to 15" and beyond over time. A good ground cover for the sunny garden where drainage is excellent and little summer water is provided. Frost hardy to -30F, USDA zone 5. 4in @ $4 Aizoaceae Deschampsia caespitosa 'Northern Lights' An introduction from Oregonian Steve Schmidt, this fine leaved deciduous grass has tricolor variegation that really glows when it first appears in early spring. Perfect to accent flowering plants in the border or pots. Full to part sun, normal water and very hardy- USDA zone 5. Takes on pink flushed coloring in fall too. 1g @ $9 Poaceae Digitalis purpurea ssp. heywoodii foxglove A long-lived foxglove with shiny, dark green leaves, narrow and pointy, and in May-July, typical foxglove flowers but in shades of rusty orange-brown. To 5-6 ft tall in flower, mixing well into the back of a border or as accents anywhere. Full sun, well-drained soil, and summer water to establish then only occasionally. Deadhead for longer bloom and longevity. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5, -20F. 4in @ $4 Plantaginaceae Disporum cantoniense 'Night Heron' An extra special seedling from one of Dan Hinkley's trip to the far east. This one emerges blackish-purple in spring and ages to a purply-green. Clusters of white bell flowers hang down from 6 ft stems in early summer and produce purple-black fruit. Rich, moist soil in light shade is best with regular summer water. Evergreen above 0F, USDA zone 7 and root hardy to -20F, USDA zone 5. 4D @ $18 Liliaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 22
