Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Viburnum x burkwoodii snowball viburnum A beautiful semi-evergreen shrub, upright and multi-stemmed to 8-10 ft tall x 5-8 ft wide, with dark, glossy leaves. Pink buds open in spring to white flowers in large, fragrant clusters; August red fruits (drupes) turn black in October. Full sun for best flowering; tolerates part shade. Somewhat drought tolerant but better with regular water. This cross between two Asian species is frost hardy to -20F, USDA zone 5. 5g @ $47 Caprifoliaceae / Adoxaceae Viburnum x pragense prague viburnum Fast-growing, multi stemmed, shrub to 6-10 ft and wide, perfect for an architectural specimen or screen with its dark green, puckery leaves, felty on the undersides. In spring, pink tinged buds open to umbels of white, spicey scented flowers followed by red berries turning shiny black. This cross between V. rhytidophyllum and V. utile prefers sun or part shade and regular summer water. Evergreen in USDA zone 7 and frost hardy in USDA zone 5. Prune after flowering before new buds form. 5g @ $38 Caprifoliaceae / Adoxaceae Weigela 'Looymansii Aurea' Glowing yellow foliage emerges in spring and gradually fades to spring green on this handsome, deciduous shrub, to 4-6 ft tall and as wide. Pink flowers brushed with purple appear in late spring and early summer adding yet more bright cheer. Bright light with protection from the hottest sun keeps the foliage fresh along with regular summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5. 2g @ $22 Diervillaceae Yucca angustissima 'South Side' A Cistus introduction. This diminutive relative of Y. elata occurs mostly north of the Colorado River in the area fondly regarded as the Arizona strip. Our collection, from the Hualumpai area, was found hanging from cliffs over the Grand Canyon creating a small “tree” to about 3 ft with compact, symmetric heads of leaves adorned with silver filifers. Eventually offsets forming a small colony. A beautiful plant for repetition or for container specimen. And a bit easier to grow than its larger cousin. Particularly beautiful where the sun can backlight the foliage. Drought tolerant though summer water can speed growth in dry areas. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5. 4D @ $18 Agavaceae Yucca baccata spanish bayonet, banana yucca This trunk-forming yucca is a knockout in the landscape with curving trunks -- up to 10 per plant -- that snake out and stand up to 8 ft tall. Green leaves are stiff and decorated with longish filifers. Very architectural! In early summer, short flower stalks carry abundant white flowers. Full sun with excellent drainage, and, for best appearance, occasional summer water. Frost hardy to -20F, USDA zone 5 and possibly colder. 6in @ $15, 2g @ $28 Agavaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 36
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard' Amazing, variegated yucca, clumping to 3 ft, with gold-centered green leaves, the gold brightening in summer’s light. And, true to the species name, the foliage is dressed up with curly white filaments. White flowers in spring on 6 ft stalks. Sun, well-drained soil, and occasional deep summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5. 1g @ $15, 2g @ $28 Agavaceae Yucca thompsoniana thompson's yucca Charming tree yucca, reaching up to 8 ft tall x 4 ft wide with leaves that are stiff and powder blue with serrated margins and early summer flowers, white on tall stalks above the leaves. Related to and sometimes overlapping with Yucca rostrata though somewhat shorter and more branched, the multiple heads looking something like a miniature Joshua tree (Y. brevifolia). Full sun with good drainage and some summer water is best. Frost hardy to -20F, USDA zone 5 or even lower. 2g @ $32, 3g @ $32 Agavaceae USDA zone: 5b Centaurea simplicicaulis bachelors buttons Mounds of ever-silver foliage form clumps to 2 ft wide and about a foot tall with perennial, fluffy pink flowers from mid spring to mid summer. Takes both blasty sun and summmer drought. Frost hardy to -15F, mid USDA zone 5. Easy adn pretty. 4in @ $5 Asteraceae Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Van Pelt's Blue' lawson's false cypress This selection of our Pacific Northwest native false cypress shines all year with its sprays of intense blue foliage. Considered one of the best of the Lawson cypresses, this is a moderate grower, reaching 10-12 feet high x 3-4 feet wide in 10 years. Prefers full sun, well-drained soil, and little summer water once established. Frost hardy to at least -15F, mid USDA zone 5. 1g @ $16 Cupressaceae Cupressus arizonica 'Taylors Silver' smooth arizona cypress A very tough, drought tolerant cypress, usually of rugged, picturesque character, that is well adapted to the moderate and warmer regions of the west away from the coastal fog belt. This form, newly introduced from Europe, grows to 25 ft tall and is distinguished by its blue-ness and somewhat columnar habit. Sun to a little shade, with average drainage and little or no summer watering when established. Frost hardy in upper USDA zone 5. 5g @ $47 Cupressaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 37
