Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Aquilegia formosa western columbine, crimson columbine Lovely native, perennial columbine with apricot-orange and yellow flowers that stand to 24" above the bluegreen, ferny foliage in May and June. Happy in part shade where soil is well-drained and summer water is very light as these are adapted to dry summers. Longer-lived than many aquilegia, these can form cheerful clumps in the shady garden. Frost hardy in USDA zone 4. 4in @ $4 Ranunculaceae Aquilegia vulgaris 'Leprechaun Gold' variegated columbine A playful columbine with leaves mixed and spreckled with gold and green creating a bright spot in the shady garden. Clumps to 18" tall are topped in April with violet purple flowers, a dramatic contrast. Whenever the foliage looks tired, simply cut to the ground and new, fresh leaves will appear. Sun works on the coast but light shade is best inland -- in rich soil with regular summer water. Frost hardy to at least -30F, USDA zone 4. 4in @ $4 Ranunculaceae Arachniodes standishii upside-down fern Much sought-after and hard to find fern, from Japan and Korea, with handsome evergreen to semi-evergreen fronds from 1-3 ft, almost frilly in appearance, and forming clumps that reach 2-3 ft wide after many years, spreading by underground rhizomes. For light to deep shade with average summer water. Frost hardy to -30F, USDA zone 4. 4D @ $14 Dryopteridaceae Aralia cordata 'Sun King' perennial spikenard The foliage is golden, often on red stems, and dazzling on this big and bold perennial, quickly to 3 ft tall and wide, first discovered in a department store in Japan by nurseryman Barry Yinger. Spikes of aralia type white flowers in summer are followed by purple-black berries. Lovely in a woodland, planted in front of darker foliage, say broad-leaved evergreens, or under planted with such lovelies as black mondo grass (Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens'). Enjoys consistently moist soil and a bit of shade at least in the hottest climates. Frost hardy to USDA zone 4. 1g @ $18 Araliaceae Barnardia japonica japanese squill This perennial bulb, previously sold as Scilla scilloides, S. chinensis and S. japonica, is a dwarf squill found in rocky areas of China and Japan, and unusual for flowering in autumn. The leaves are grassy and lax, to 10" long, and the fall flowers appear in pink racemes on upright stems to 6-12" tall. Self-sows to form a nice drifts in sun to part shade in well-drained soil with regular summer water. Tolerates drought but may go dormant. Frost hardy in USDA zone 4. 4D @ $9 Liliaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 6
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Carex flacca blue sedge For the blue garden or blue accent, a low growing sedge, to 6-12" tall, with narrow leaves, blue-green above and gray-green below creating a sparkly appearance. Native to both sand dunes and estuaries. Forms tidy clumps spreading slowly in the dry garden and more quickly with fertilizer and summer water. Somewhat drought tolerant in part to full shade, requiring at least occasional summer water in full sun. Can also used in a water garden, planted 2" below the surface. Frost hardy to -30F, USDA zone 4. 1g @ $11 Cyperaceae Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Filifera Aurea' golden japanese falsecypress Bright, evergreen shrub with golden, weeping, thread-like foliage that stands out in any garden spot. This is a dense, semi-dwarf shrub, to only 6-7 ft tall in more than 10 years, with peeling, red bark that contrasts with the yellow foliage. Best in a bit of shade where soil is rich and moist but well-drained. Tolerates drought as well but grows more quickly with some summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 4. 1g @ $14 Cupressaceae Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Tsukumo' tsukumo falsecypress Lovely evergreen shrub, small enough to fit into any yard, with fine-textured foliage or green needles tinted blue on the undersides, forming a small bun to only 10" tall for a long, long time, eventually reaching 1 1/2 ft tall and wide. A perfect punctuation mark. Tolerates drought once established but prefers rich, moist soil that drains well. Frost hardy in USDA zone 4. 1g @ $17 Cupressaceae Chasmanthium latifolium 'River Mist' northern sea oats Tall grass, to 30", a native from the East to the Southwest, with the long, graceful leaves green stripped with white in this selection by Itsaul Plants. Not only lovely but said to be deer resistant as well. Deadhead to control the population and avoid non-variegated seedlings. Prefers to be out of blasty afternoon sun in dappled or part shade with some summer water. Frost hardy to -30F, USDA zone 4. 6in @ $12 Poaceae Cornus mas 'Variegata' cornelian cherry A grail plant for many. Strikingly green and white streaked form of cornelian cherry, to 10-12 ft for us, with a compact umbrella shape, and yellow flowers in early to mid winter, followed by deep red, 1/2" fruit (with a pollinating partner) -- indeed, quite tasty -- contrasting with the glowing variegated leaves in mid to late summer. Cold hardy to USDA zone 4. 4D @ $18 Cornaceae Delosperma 'Kelaidis' PP 13876 mesa verde ice plant In a word, “Gorgeous.” Coppery-pink petals shine from spring through fall on this tough little evergreen groundcover. This plant was selected from a collection of Delosperma cooperi at the Denver Botanic Garden in 1998. Perfect for the sunny rock garden. Works well in containers too. Plant in full sun in well-drained soil. Cold hardy to -30 F. USDA zone 4. 4in @ $5, 1g @ $11 Aizoaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 7
