Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Lonicera standishii 'Platt Garden Form' standish's honeysuckle This robust selection of the deciduous, 6-8 ft shrub was introduced by the late and great gardener, Jane Platt. It’s most outstanding feature is the white, 1” trumpets that begin opening as early as November, most often in December, lasting through April in great fragrant abundance. That said, a plant for the background but within 15 ft of the front door. We prune ours back slowly over the winter by harvesting the small, upright branches from those larger arching ones, for continuous winter bouquets. Sun to part shade. Drought tolerant, though some summer water in dry climates helps bud formation. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6. 2g @ $24 Caprifoliaceae Muhlenbergia capillaris deer grass Parker’s favorite native grass. Foliage stays somewhat low and compact (18"), but the 6 ft flowering stems radiate like a sea urchin in summer and hold through the fall. Full to half sun in well drained soil. Drought tolerant once established. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6.. 4in @ $4 Poaceae Nandina domestica 'Gulf Stream' compact heavenly bamboo A perfect heavenly bamboo, compact and dense to only 3 ft tall and wide with fabulous multi-colored foliage, emerging orangey bronze. maturing to blue-green with gold and red highlights, and finally, showing off winter colors of orange and red. Yum! Best in full sun but accepts shade though leaf color is less vivid. Prefers summer water but tolerates some drought. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6. 2g @ $22 Berberidaceae Nandina domestica 'Moyer's Red' heavenly bamboo Evergreen shrub, taller than some, to 6 ft tall x 3-5 ft wide, with green foliage that turns many shades of dark red in autumn, a great backdrop for the red fruit that follows the pink summer flowers. Best in rich soil, in sun to part shade with summer water -- though tolerates occasional drought once established. Frost hardy to -10F, USDA zone 6. 2g @ $32 Berberidaceae Ophiopogon japonicus var. nana 'Minor' dwarf mondo grass This, the tiniest of the dwarf mondo grasses, is an extremely slow-growing, evergreen lily-turf, spreading only about 1" per year, so plant densely if you want coverage in your lifetime. Perfect for the tiny garden. The flowers are white and the berries sky-blue. Fine in part sun with regular summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6. 1g @ $12 Liliaceae / Asparagaceae Opuntia 'Baby Rita' One of the most beautifully colored forms of the frost hardy cacti, a compact prickly pear to 2 ft, with pads to 3-4" that emerge blue-green often aging to greenish yellow tinted pink -- in this case a natural occurrence that doesn't indicate a lack of fertilizer. Late spring, ruffled flowers add to the palette. This has all the charm of O. santa-rita in a much smaller plant. Full sun with sharp drainage. Frost hardy to USDA zone 6. Great in containers. 4D @ $12 Cactaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 50
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Opuntia basilaris var. treleasei trelease's beavertail prickly pear A most attractive beavertail prickly pear, once having inhabited vast areas of California's southern San Joaquin Valley and now reduced to but a few populations. Forms individual clumps to 18" or 2 ft, with light blue pads adorned with small, golden spines and glochids, and, in spring, light, almost orchid-like, pink flowers. Sun, lean soil and well-drained soil, and little summer water. Able to take winter dampness along as the drainage is excellent. Frost hardy to at least USDA zone 6. 4D @ $11 Cactaceae Paeonia delavayi var. lutea Growing to 6-8 ft and creating a lush, almost tropical texture in dappled shade with its large, deeply cut foliage and yellow flowers, single and cup-shaped appearing in late spring. Even the winter silhouette of thickened stems is dramatic. As well the seed pods of late summer to autumn can be a most attractive orangey red, appearing just as bright yellow fall colors begin. Dappled shade and rich soil with regular summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6. Summer water zone 6. 1g @ $19 Paeoniaceae Penstemon heterophyllus 'Electric Blue' foothills penstemon Lovely small penstemon with late spring flowers of gentian blue on 18" stems that stand above clumps of long, narrow, evergreen leaves, spreading to 1-1.5 ft. Found in sunny sites in the California foothills, these are easy to grow in sun, needing no summer moisture once established but tolerating some. Well-drained soil is a must; they dislike wet feet, summer or winter. Frost hardy to -10F, USDA zone 6. 4in @ $4 Plantaginaceae Photinia serratifolia var. serratifolia From China, this handsome and useful big, bold, glossy leaved evergreen can be grown as a large shrub or trimmed as a small tree -- to 12-25 ft x 10-20 ft. Leaves, 4-8”, emerge light green and bronze tinged maturing to dark green and leathery with serrated margins and lighter undersides. Large clusters of bright red berries in autumn follow the early spring panicles of white flowers, lovely, though their aroma is not universally admired. Sun to part shade in well-drained soil. Drought tolerant but accepts and appreciates some summer water. USDA zone 6. 5g @ $42 Rosaceae Picea smithiana himalayan spruce Parker, not normally a fan of conifers, saw this species in Sacramento’s Capitol Park & fell in love with its habit of holding on to its needles well back into the large branches –looking much like a hypermasculine hairy forearm. Branch tips are upcurved with side branchlets pendulous. Perhaps the most handsome of all conifers. Sun and well-drained soil that is somewhat moist. To 35 ft tall x 10 ft side over time. Frost hardy to -10F, USDA zone 6. 5g @ $47 Pinaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 51
