Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Buxus microphylla 'Curly Locks' A most attractive small boxwood, slow growing to 3 ft or so with narrow curled leaves, just as the name would imply, providing wonderful texture for the garden. Evergreen with leaves tinting only faintly to that dead meat look of winter boxwood (ok, so we could have found a better descriptor). This, however, is offset by the typical male cat fragrance given off by most boxwoods....hummmm. Frost hardy to below 0F, into USDA zone 6. And all this can be yours brightening that somewhat shaded spot with a bit of summer water. 2g @ $22 Buxaceae Buxus microphylla var. japonica 'Variegata' - dwarf form Well...kind of dwarf anyway. Given to us several years ago by the late, great gardener Jane Platt, this compact 6-8 footer has a naturally pyramidal growth and pleasingly cream and green leaves with nary a reversion to date. Excellent and hardy as a container or hedge plant. And easily shorn if a more formal look is desired. Sun to dappled shade with regular summer water at least until well established. Frost hardy in low USDA zone 6, we hear, possibly colder. 6in @ $12 Buxaceae Buxus sempervirens 'Golden Swirl' common box A collection from a lone surviving shrub in the shade of an ancient pecan in a North Portland “garden”, this 8 ft boxwood has a tall, rather narrow habit, with upright branchlets and a pleasing creamy-gold variegation throughout the leaves. Drought tolerant and vigorous. You should have one. We would like to see it used as good garden furniture. Considering its “habitat” it must be very drought tolerant and, from the original plant’s appearance, able to withstand occasional pruning with chainsaws. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6, at least. 1g @ $14 Buxaceae Callicarpa bodinieri var. giraldii 'Profusion' beautyberry The flowers are a nice pink, in small mid-summer clusters, but it is the bright violet fruit that shines into winter hanging on to bare branches after the dark green leaves have turned purple. and dropped. To 4-6 ft tall with slightly arching branches and purpley green new foliage. Provides in interest in every season. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6. 1g @ $11 Lamiaceae Camellia japonica 'Unryu' contorted japanese camellia Stems twist and turn on this medium-sized Camellia, to 6 ft tall creating an interesting shape in the garden. "Unryu" means "dragon in the clouds" suggesting the twisting of a dragon as it climbs to the sky. Spring flowers are red-pink and single. Evergreen foliage is glossy in part to full shade with summer water. Frost hardy in upper USDA zone 6. 1g @ $16, 5g @ $52 Theaceae Camellia sasanqua 'Winters Rose' Charming, pink blushed flowers, 2” across and semi-double, from autumn into winter on this small, evergreen camellia, to only 4-6 ft tall and wide. A slow-growing, compact shrub with the usual dark green and shiny leaves, very handsome and easy to place in the garden. Best in light shade and moist, well-drained soil. Frost hardy to -10F, USDA zone 6. 3g @ $32 Theaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 42
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Carex buchananii leatherleaf sedge Ever’brown’ sedge for any garden situation with somewhat stiff, upright blades, a reddish, bronzy brown, forming clumps 1 ft wide. Especially nice when backlit. Fine in full sun or part shade where soil is welldrained and summer moisture is plentiful. Can be divided in spring and should be allowed to reseed to renew the supply. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6. 1g @ $9 Cyperaceae Carex obnupta slough sedge Water-loving sedge for full sun to partial shade in moist soil or even in standing water. Grassy leaves are evergreen, growing in small bunches and spreading by underground rhizomes to form large clumps. Flower spikes are purplish black and stand above the leaves in April-July. Great for erosion control in damp places. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6. 1g @ $11 Cyperaceae Chaenomeles 'Mandarin' flowering quince One of our favorite quinces, another spineless shrub, to only about 4 ft tall, possibly 5, with deep coral-orange flowers over a long season in winter and spring. We have planted ours with golden foliage such as Choisya ternata ‘Sundance’ for, if we say so ourselves, a dazzling winter effect. Excellent for cut flowers. Full sun to medium shade with occasional summer water to improve bud set. Frost hardy to USDA zone 6, possibly 5. 6in @ $14 Rosaceae Chaenomeles japonica - rich red flowering quince Shared with us by plantsman Kevin Smith, a wonderful quince adorned with brick-red flowers from as early as December in our climate through April in most climates, each flower contrasted with a rich boss of yellow stamens. Compared to another of our favorites, C. japonica 'Atsuya Hamada', this is a lighter color with more orange pigment. A medium shrub, to 6-8 ft, and spineless, thank you very much. These are particularly floriferous and good for forcing -- to do what is up to you. For full sun to part shade with regular summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6 and possibly colder. 2g @ $24 Rosaceae Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Blue Surprise' Wonderful, dwarf selection of what might be considered a cliché Lawson cypress, but it’s a stunner...Conical, this brushed white blue exclamation point grows 6” or so a year in full to part sun with little supplemental water. Tops out at 6 ft x 3 ft. Well-drained soil and a bit of water when new growth appears -- drought tolerant thereafter. Good in containers. Cold hardy to USDA zone 6. 6in @ $15 Cupressaceae Chilopsis linearis 'Burgundy' burgundy desert willow Gorgeous, tall, shrub to small tree for the hot, dry garden. Closely related to Catalpa, this US southwest native reaches 10 to as tall as 15 ft by 8 ft wide with a rounded form and bright green leaves on downy twigs, and clusters of purple to burgundy flowers. Late to leaf out with flowers from June to frost. Best in full sun and lean, well-drained soil. Drought tolerant once established. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6. 1g @ $18 Bignoniaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 43
