Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Vitis californica 'Rogers Red' california wild grape A drought tolerant, wall-covering, ground-covering grape! This form, selected by Roger Raiche, has small grapes in shades of purple-blushed-red, providing happiness for local birds - and you, too. Fall color is spectacular as well. Deciduous and vigorous but quite prunable in early spring or whenever it needs discipline. Sun to part shade in lean soil with occasional summer water. Reported frost hardy in USDA zone 6. 6in @ $16 Vitaceae Wisteria frutescens 'Amethyst Falls' One of our most beautiful native vines, this wisteria is more dimunitive than its Asian counterparts. To 15 ft or so, free-flwoering with, indeed, amethyst flowers in mid-spring with an occasional repeat later. Somewhat drought tolerant but best with some summer water. Full sun. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6. 3g @ $32 Fabaceae Wisteria sinensis 'Cooke's Purple' purple chinese wisteria A woody deciduous vine that will reach 30 feet high and wide, if left to its own devices, with fragrant lilacpurple flowers in foot long pendulous clusters in spring. This variety has also been known to rebloom in summer. Sun to part shade. Summer water. Hardy to USDA zone 6. 5g @ $42 Fabaceae Yucca rupicola twist leaf yucca This large textured species from the Texas hill country consists of slowly clumping, undulant leaves, 1 to 2" wide, of deepest green. Particularly striking when planted with silver-blues such as festuccas or other blue tinted, rosette-forming plants. An easy care creature if provided well-drained soil, supplemental summer water in exceedingly dry places, and bright light, though at home in dappled shade if leaves do not collect in its crown. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6. 6in @ $16 Agavaceae Yucca schottii 'Chiricahua High' schott's yucca, moutain yucca A Cistus Introduction, our collection from near the summit of the Chiricahua Mts., a hardy yucca with very blue-gray leaves, to 3 ft long and sharply pointed, both stiff and more flexible than other "tree" yuccas. Eventually to 10 ft tall, single-trunked in youth to about 6 ft tall x 4 ft wide, then multi-trunked. Early summer flowers are white on tall stalks. For sun to part shade. An excellent garden species, both very drought tolerant and very frost hardy, accepting temperatures to -10F, USDA zone 6. 4D @ $14 Agavaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 58
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability USDA zone: 6b Aucuba himalaica var. dolichophylla Sweet shrub to small tree with 5", evergreen leaves, long and narrow and, in this form, particularly prominent cream-yellow spotting over the dark green leaf surface -- just enough to create a texture moment. Useful in otherwise difficult conditions, from the darkest garden corners to places where root competition is severe. These can reach small tree size, but remain within the 8-10 ft range in the garden, easily kept smaller. Part to full shade serves best in rich soil with summer water for best appearance though some drought is tolerated. Frost hardy to just below 0F, upper USDA zone 6. 4D @ $16, 2g @ $28 Garryaceae Buxus sempervirens 'Rotundifolia' Shared with us by Luen Miller, this statuesque boxwood reaches a narrow 6-8 ft with round, shiny leaves held pleasingly outward from the branches. A nice large texture. Hardy at least into the upper reaches of USDA zone 6, possibly colder. The colder the winter temperature, the more purple bronze the leaves will turn. Otherwise, part shade to full sun with regular summer water at least until established. 5g @ $12 Buxaceae Hamamelis x intermedia 'Arnold Promise'' A wonderful witch hazel to add to the collection, this one to 12’. First the fall color in shades of yellow, orange and red and then the bright yellow winter flowers. For sun to part shade and regular water. Hardy to -5F. 15g @ $220 Hamamelidaceae Hydrangea macrophylla 'New Wave' A Cistus introduction, a fabulous sport of H. macrophylla ‘Lemon Wave’ that we have been perfecting for some years, selected for its green leaves with wide, gold-yellow margins and, sometimes thin, silver centers. Lacecap flowers are pale blue (in acid soil), blooming in July and lasting into autumn. A large-leaf hydrangea, to 3-6 ft tall and wide, and definitely as robust as ‘Lemon Wave’. Has not sunburned in our experience but best in part shade with reliable summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6. 1g @ $18 Hydrangeaceae Ilex aquifolium 'Angustifolia' Wonderfully textured narrow shrub, though can become a small tree to 8-10 ft with great age. Leaves of only 1/4” wide and 1” long or so, sharp tipped and glossy green held quite densely. Male and therefore without berries. Most wonderful where a narrow upright form is desired. More tolerant of light shade and colder temperatures than Italian Cypress. Drought tolerant though occasional summer water enhances its appearance in dry climates. Can become sparse with age in hot humid areas, but can also be severely pruned and returns to its former bushy self. Frost hardy to upper USDA zone 6. 1g @ $14 Aquifoliaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 59
