Hibiscus syriacus - white new leaves and pink flowers rose <strong>of</strong> sharon<br />
A nice selection <strong>of</strong> a popular plant, this rose <strong>of</strong> sharon h<strong>as</strong> leaves that emerge white and darken to green and<br />
pink flowers in summer. A deciduous shrub, multi-stemmed to 6-8 ft tall x 4-8 ft wide, that is e<strong>as</strong>ily pruned to<br />
tree form. Prefers rich soil in full sun to part shade with average moisture but tolerates less ideal situations<br />
including urban conditions, poor soil, and some summer drought. Does well <strong>as</strong> a small, street tree. Frost hardy<br />
to -20F, <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 5.<br />
4D @ $11, 2g @ $22 Malvaceae<br />
Humulus lupulus 'Aureus' golden hops<br />
Bright yellow leaves on this vigorous vine that can reach 20 ft in a se<strong>as</strong>on.. White florwers in mid-summer to<br />
early autumn followed <strong>by</strong> light green hops in autumn. Stems die to the gound in winter and can be trimmed<br />
<strong>of</strong>f completely. Part shade is best to avoid bleaching the leaves. Frost hardy to <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 5.<br />
1g @ $12 Cannabaceae<br />
Hydrangea macrophylla 'Mariesii'<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the more rewarding deciduous Hydrange<strong>as</strong> -- in gardens for many years, but surprisingly never<br />
common. Shrubs, to 4 ft or more, for dappled shade with strikingly green and white variegated leaves and<br />
lavender to blue fertile flowers surrounded <strong>by</strong> an elegant ring <strong>of</strong> sterile florets. Care is for that <strong>of</strong> other<br />
Hydrandge<strong>as</strong> with decent summer moisture in dry places. Takes fairly heavy pruning, still flowering each<br />
se<strong>as</strong>on. Frost hardy to <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 5 - 6.<br />
1g @ $14 Hydrangeaceae<br />
Hydrangea petiolaris 'Mirranda' mirranda climbing hydrangea<br />
A Rippinggale <strong>Nursery</strong> (Boring, Ore) selection 10 years ago, this golden margined climbing hydrangea is<br />
happiest on a shaded north wall with adequate water. Slower than the species. White flowers in summer.<br />
Deciduous.<br />
5g @ $57 Hydrangeaceae<br />
Hydrangea quercifolia 'Pee Wee' dwarf oakleaf hydrangea<br />
Compact oakleaf hydrangea, to 2-3 ft tall and wide. Creamy flowers appear in mid summer to early fall.<br />
Foliage emerges bright spring-green and darkens to burgundy in the fall - a lovely contr<strong>as</strong>t with the white<br />
flowers. For part shade - a bit <strong>of</strong> protection from western sun - and average summer water. Frost hardy in<br />
<strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 5.<br />
2g @ $24 Hydrangeaceae<br />
Ilex 'Mondo' little r<strong>as</strong>cal holly<br />
How about a small holly, to only 2 ft tall x 3 ft wide, that forms a compact, multi-stemmed shrub, with dark<br />
green foliage that turns purple in winter and, since it is a male form, h<strong>as</strong> no berries to tempt small children and<br />
pets. Great for accents, low-growing hedges, or part <strong>of</strong> a foundation planting. Sun to light shade with regular<br />
summer water until well established and occ<strong>as</strong>ional water thereafter. Extremely frost hardy <strong>as</strong> well, to -30F,<br />
<strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 5.<br />
