Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Lagerstroemia 'Osage' osage crape myrtle Outstanding crepe myrtle entirely suited to western Oregon gardens with huge clusters of clear pink flowers in early August to late September. Reaches 15 ft tall with a spreading, somewhat pendulous branches (made more so in flower) and stunning bark that becomes swirled in mahogany and chestnut brown with age. Leaves emerge dark green and turn bright red and orange in autumn for even more color. Enjoys the hottest full sun with summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6b. 2g @ $28 Lythraceae Magnolia macrophylla ssp. ashei A rare species from the southern Appalachians where so much diversity found refuge during the last ice age. Medium growing to 15-20 ft in the garden with apple-green leaves with striking reflective silver undersides. Light yellow flowers in spring and early summer -- it is really the leaves that turn us on....Even summer moisture with afternoon shade in hot dry climates. Hardy to well below 0ºF or into USDA zone 6. 2g @ $34 Magnoliaceae Magnolia virginiana var. australis The southern forms of M. virginiana are not only most fully evergreen but seem to perform much better on the West Coast than the deciduous types. They are more tolerant of drought and all are exceedingly handsome. A tree to about 30' of broad pyramidal shape with blueish leaves, paler blue to nearly silver underneath. The flowers are fairly small, only 2" or 3" but a very pretty pale lemon yellow and lemon scented. Here is it not unusual to find flowers on any day of the year, but certainly more frequently in summer and fall, enough so their fragrance can be detected from some distance. Fine in full sun. A good understory tree and most excellent street tree. Some summer water in dry summer places. This collection has been fine in USDA zone 7 and even upper zone 6, but has shed a number of its leaves at 0ºF. 5g @ $47 Magnoliaceae Mahonia x media 'Underway' Tall, 8-15 ft, Oregon grape, a wonderful addition to dappled shade, deep shade, or the understory. Of the many cultivars of this cross between M. japonica and M. lomariifolia, ‘Underway’ is distinguished by sweetly fragrant, bright yellow flowers early in spring and a bushier habit than it’s near relatives. Birds love the blue berries. Drought tolerant and hardy below 0F. 5g @ $47 Berberidaceae Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens'' black mondo grass Purples and black in the garden have become the new beige, dark colors being the perfect contrast and background for just about anything. This small lily relative grows only to about 6" in height, spreading contentedly if given plenty of moisture. The black, evergreen leaves and small lilac flowers make any brightly colored object stand out and look wonderful with your new Goth look -- white powdered makeup not included. Full sun to deep shade; a bit slow growing either way. Frost hardy in upper USDA zone 6. 6in @ $12 Liliaceae / Asparagaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 60
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Opuntia acanthocarpa 'High Ho Silver' Introduced by cactus maven, Sarah McCombs, this 5 ft chollo, with 2” stems clothed in brilliant, silver-white spines, makes an outstanding garden or pot specimen especially where backlit by the sun. Extremely drought tolerant but fastest growing with occasional summer thunderstorms… even those from hoses. Tolerates temperatures a little below 0F with ease, upper USDA zone 6. Best not planted near helium balloons but, otherwise, very easygoing. 4D @ $15 Cactaceae Origanum microphyllum [hybrid] One of the most uniquely fine textured oregano's, to 18" wide 1/4" leaves and a multitude of lavender purple flowers floating among them; all this over a 6 to 9 month period. In our area of Portland it stays evergreen most years, and in colder zones to upper zone 6, -5F, it will regrow from basal rosettes. Full sun, decent drainage. A very good knitter for bolder textures in the Mediterranean garden. Oh, and it smells good too. 1g @ $11 Parthenocissus henryrana - Berkeley Garden Form silvervein creeper Chinese….Boston ivy. An elegant clinging vine that can grow to 20 ft or more that produces deciduous leaves flushed burgundy with silver markings. This clone, a sport from our long-ago gardens in Berkeley CA, has particularly good coloration and the most yummy, red-orange fall color, more pronounced where plants are grown in shade. Drought tolerant once established but would prefer some summer water where very dry. Frost hardy in the upper end of USDA zone 6. Also a good container spiller. 1g @ $15 Vitaceae Pistachia chinensis 'Keith Davey' chinese pastachio A most attractive deciduous tree, to 25 ft tall and slowly to 50 ft x 20-30 ft wide, known for its tolerance of dry, difficult sites and its florescent fall color, a particularly brilliant orange in this cultivar. This selection chosen from its maleness! (as in lack of fruit) and attractive, red-tinted leaves. Loves sun and an occasional deep watering to get established and speed growth. Frost hardy in upper USDA zone 6. 7g @ $65 Anacardiaceae Quercus hypoleucoides silver oak We first fell in love with this plant in the 1980s upon seeing a collection from an expedition of Boyd Kline and Frank Callahan to northeastern Mexico. Our first up close and personal experience was on New Year's Day, seeing these exquisite 25 ft tall by 15 ft wide trees in the Chiricahua Mountains of southeast Arizona where, under bright blue skies and with a few inches of snow on the ground, the dazzling sliver undersides of the leaves reflected as if illuminated by spot light. Fast growing when young. The narrow leaves are very leathery and shiny and can age to maroon on the upper surface in cold temperatures. A plant for sun, welldrained soil, and quite possibly hardy into low to mid USDA zone 6. But we are sure about zone 7. Our favorite oak, really. 2g @ $28 Fagaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 61
