Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Opuntia 'Golden Lion' This natural hybrid between Opuntia davisii and O. kleinii, found in the Davis mountains of western Texas, creates a small cholla-like shrub to 3 ft with golden spines – rather obnoxious ones at that -- and pea-green flowers that age to yellow. Frost hardy to -20 F, USDA zone 5, and possibly lower with sharp drainage and full sun. 4D @ $14 Cactaceae Opuntia 'Kellys Choice' This charming beavertail cactus hybrid from Mountain States Nursery grows to 3-4 ft with the rounded soft pads of O. basilaris but the upright form and purple tinting of O. santa-rita. Free-flowering in a deep rose-red in mid to late spring. These plants makes fine container specimens or they can be grown outside above USDA zone 5 in bright light and very sharp drainage. 4D @ $15 Cactaceae Opuntia fragilis - dwarf golden Shared with us by friend Panayoti Kelaidis of Denver, this small mat former, quickly to about 3" high x 18" wide and eventually larger, has 1/2" pads with golden glochids and spines. Shy to flower. Very attractive in troughs, pots, or rock gardens, anywhere a low sun angle can can make the golden spines glow. Cactus conditions required -- sun, lean and well-drained soil, and little summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 4. 4in @ $9 Cactaceae Opuntia fragilis - flat padded A vigorous little prickly pear first given to us by Don Campell from Western Colorado, growing to 18" to 3 ft wide but only 4 to 6" high with unusually flat pads adorned with long golden spines and lemon yellow flowers. Good dry or rock garden component. Great container specimen. Full sun. Hardy to USDA zone 5 or below. -20F. Pads easily detach, therefore easy to propagate whether intended or not. 4in @ $7 Cactaceae Opuntia gilvescens oklahoma pancake cactus A very tidy, upright prickly pear from the Oklahoma panhandle reaching 3 ft or more with nearly spherical pads of light blue adorned with short golden spines and yellow flowers, sometimes rust-centered, followed by fleshy red fruit. Bright sun is best with lean soil and at least decent drainage. Frost hardy to USDA zone 5 or possibly lower. 4D @ $12 Cactaceae Opuntia phaeacantha - white spined prickly pear Originally collected in the highlands of central Arizona, this upright prickly pear, to 5-6 ft high and as wide, has pads up to 8" or more in width/length of a pleasing olive-green with ivory-white central spines and yellow flowers with a tad of orange in age followed by rounded reddish fruit. This clone has adorned Portland gardens for 20 years or more and is one of the finer of the large prickly pears for us. Full sun to dappled shade along with decent drainage.

Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Opuntia phaeacantha 'Plum' OP037: Opuntia phaeacantha ‘Plum’ Another vigorous Claude Barr selection with peachy-plum flowers in June. Extra large pads have a glossy, purple cast during cooler months. Handsome, long, reddish spines. 15” high by 48” wide. Fergusen thinks this is one of John Cipra’s phaeacantha hybrids. Zone 5. Showy red fruit. 4D @ $11 Cactaceae Penstemon 'Schooleys Coral' If you like hummingbirds AND shocking pink flowers, this is the penstemon for you. Rosettes of grassy green leaves put up 20" spikes of deep coral-pink flowers. Very tough perennial for full sun and well-drained soil with occasional summer water. Deadheading flower spikes makes a long blooming period. Evergreen but can be cut back to improve form. Frost hardy to -20F, USDA zone 5. 6in @ $12 Plantaginaceae Philadelphus lewisii SBH 6826 lewis' mock orange Sean’s collection from Oregon's Deschutes River country of this deliciously fragrant, native mock orange, discovered and named for Meriwether Lewis. A deciduous shrub, to only 4 ft tall and spreading to 8 ft wide with handsome foliage, green above and paler below and, in spring, profuse, single white, intensely fragrant flowers. Shrub to 4 feet, perhaps 8 if super happy. Tolerates sun to part sun, moisture and drought but occasional summer water enhances appearance. Frost hardy to -20F, USDA zone 5. 6in @ $12 Hydrangeaceae Pinus edulis two needle pinyon A bushy pine, native to the US southwest, eventually reaching up to 30 ft tall or so and nearly as wide in the garden, with many spreading branches covered in pairs of 1-2" needles green with whitish stomata on the surfaces, particularly the inner surfaces. Female cones are small, about 2" long, and produce edible nuts, tasty to wildlife and people. Loves sun and lean, well-drained soil. Drought tolerant once established but doesn't mind occasional summer water. A handsome addition to the garden, frost hardy in USDA zone 5. 1g @ $16 Pinaceae Pinus monophylla single leaf pinyon pine Auslin NV 7000 elevation 5g @ $65 Pinaceae Poncirus trifoliata trifoliage orange Bitter orange, very architectural with green stems and wicked thorns. Extremely hardy, deciduous citrus, best in winter when the green stems and thorns are exposed and large orange fruits hang on. In spring, there are white flowers with a sweet fragrance. Plant in containers for more drama; in the ground for easiest care. 10 ft in time... a long time. Extremely frost hardy, to USDA zone 5. 5g @ $47 Rutaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 31
