Ribes sanguineum 'Elk River' red flowering currant
This flowering currant was selected in the Pacific Northwest from native red currants for the brightest, rosy
red flowers of all, dangling in clusters from the bare branches in early spring. A deciduous shrub, to 8-10 ft
tall x 6-7 ft wide, with 3-5 lobed leaves, and in late summer, blue-black fruit loved by the birds. Easily pruned
after flowering in order to maintain shape and size. Best in sun to part shade, in lean soil that drains well, with
little summer water once established. Frost hardy to -10F, USDA zone 6.
5g @ $42 Grossulariaceae
Rohdea japonica - crested
Old cultivar from Asia that we found in the San Francisco area. Slow growing for full shade. Greenish cream

3g @ $37, 5g @ $47 Liliaceae
Rohdea japonica - narrow leaved form sacred lily
Slow growing evergreen perennial for full shade. Greenish cream flowers followed by bright red berries in
summer. Extremely collectable. Hardy outdoors.

Rohdea japonica - narrow leaved variegated form
Fabulous clump-forming evergreen perennial for moderate to the deepest shade (think inside a seedy tavern).
This form is one of an increasing number available from fellow plant cultists in Japan. Resembles most
closely a sansevieria with upright leaves, to 18” tall, that are deep green, edged white. Slow growing, but
worth it. Long lasting container specimen indoor or out. Frost hardy to USDA zone 6.

Rohdea japonica 'Mure-suzume Improved'
Exquisitely variegated rohdea, the deep green leaves delightfully bright with wide cream stripes and margins.
Slow growing, though vigorous for a variegated rohdea and much more vigorous than the "unimproved"
cultivar reaching 18-24" tall in clumps nearly as wide. Excellent as a pot specimen or in the woodland garden.
Lovers of deep shade and even moisture for best growth. Frost hardy to USDA zone 6.
2g @ $35, 5g @ $57 Liliaceae
Rohdea japonica 'Mure-suzume'
Another lovely and variegated, miniature Rohdea with 8-12'' rosettes and diminutive deep green leaves
streaked and margined cream and white. Very slow growing. Excellent as a pot specimen or in a small space
in the woodland garden. Lovers of deep shade and even moisture for best growth. Frost hardy to USDA zone
6.
