Clematis japonica 'Bokonomosho'<br />
Having retrieved this lovely clematis from Japan some time ago and left it growing happily away in our…..<br />
less than tended area or stock house, we finally decided we needed more. A diminutive vine, to under 6-8 ft,<br />
this form is deciduous with beautifully variegated cream, white and green leaves and pale blue flowers in mid<br />
spring. A delicate creature, so would prefer to be planted near or, shall we say, on a shrub or trellis protected<br />
from the hottest afternoon sun, where the soil is medium in “richosity”, does not severely dry out, and is not<br />
likely to be disturbed. Frost hardy in <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 6.<br />
2g @ $38 Ranunculaceae<br />
Corylopsis pauciflora buttercup witch-hazel<br />
This Japanese native gets its common name from its large very fragrant lemon yellow flowers in January. A 6<br />
-8 foot deciduous shrub, it is best in an understory situation. Part sun, normal water.<br />
2g @ $38 Hamamelidaceae<br />
Corylopsis spicata 'Aurea' golden winterhazel<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the loveliest winterhazels we have come across, to under 10 ft tall with butterscotch-yellow leaves,<br />
tinted orange where they meet sun, and pale yellow flowers in mid winter -- all managed with the same grace<br />
we have come to expect from the species. Still rare but should be much less so. We suggest dappled shade,<br />
occ<strong>as</strong>ional summer water where dry, and decently drained soil. Frost hardy in <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 6.<br />
6in @ $18 Hamamelidaceae<br />
Cryptomeria japonica 'Dacrydioides' whip-cord japanese cedar<br />
Stunning shrub to small tree, to <strong>as</strong> much <strong>as</strong> 10-20 ft tall eventually, with long, pendulous branches and graygreen,<br />
aromatic foliage that adds brown overtones in winter. Needle-like leaves overlap, creating a rope-like,<br />
or whipcord texture. Best in full sun with adequate summer water in soil that drains well. Frost hardy to at<br />
le<strong>as</strong>t <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 6.<br />
1g @ $17, 2g @ $28 Cupressaceae<br />
Cyrtomium falcatum 'Rochfordianum' japanese holly fern<br />
Leaves are dark green and glossy on this cultivar, to 2 ft tall forming 2-3 ft, v<strong>as</strong>e-shaped clumps <strong>of</strong> nearly<br />
erect, evergreen fronds. Handsome in part to full shade planted in rich, well-drained soil that is watered<br />
regularly in summer. Mulch to maintain consistent moisture. Frost hardy to -10F, <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 6. A fine and<br />
frost hardy container specimen.<br />
1g @ $15 Dryopteridaceae<br />
Daphne x burkwoodii - low form burkwood daphne<br />
Low form <strong>of</strong> a cl<strong>as</strong>sic daphne, to 2 ft tall with narrow, 1" green leaves. White flowers, custardy sweet, appear<br />
in late winter through mid spring. Perfect for the entrance garden. Evergreen and dense enough to be a fine<br />
small hedge. Sun to part shade with good drainage and consistent moisture. Frost hardy in upper <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong><br />
6 with reports <strong>of</strong> much colder places, perhaps <strong>zone</strong> 4 in protected sites.<br />
6in @ $16 Thymelaeaceae<br />
