Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Arisaema ringens f. sieboldii Impress your friends, scare the neighbors with this must-have, Japanese, jack-in-the-pulpit, with large, tropicalismo-esque trifoliate leaves to over 18" and striped flowers in mauve, white and black. Clumps rather quickly. Best in the woodland garden with moist, fertile soil. Comes up late March and goes dormant in warm weather. A poster child hortisexual plant. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. One of the easiest yet, strangely, seldom available. 4D @ $16 Araceae Armeria maritima 'Rubrifolia' sea pink Sea pinks have traveled the world enough to be thought of as native on coastal areas of both European and Western North America. This selection has particularly burgundy leaves to only 8-10" and a tightly mounding habit that is adorned by a long series of saturated purple-pink flowers. Prefers year round moisture with good drainage and bright light. Hardy to zero F - USDA zone 7 - or below. Great for rock gardens and the front of perennial borders. 1g @ $11 Plumbaginaceae Asarum caudatum SBH 6807 wild ginger One of our best native groundcovers for the dry woodland, to up to 1 ft tall and spreading to clumps of up to 6 ft wide with leaves to 4-6" wide. Indeed smelling of ginger. For deep or light shade with little summer water for this Cistus from Oregon's Siskiyou mountains. Frost hardy to 0F, USDA zone 7. 6in @ $11 Aristolochiaceae Aspidistra elatior 'Variegata' cast iron plant The solution to your shadiest spot: a cast iron plant with lovely white stripes on dark green leaves, to 2+ ft tall. Hardy outdoors in light to deep shade with normal summer water, they prefer good drainage. Regular summer water for best appearance, though tolerant of long dry periods. Clumping plants, they are somewhat slow growing, doubling their size in a few years. Also fab in a container. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 1g @ $24 Asparagaceae Astrolepis sinuata wavy cloak fern A fern that loves sunny dry places. From the desert southwest comes these luxurious clumps gray-sage-green leaves with felty, orange undersides. To 1-2 ft tall eventually and evergreen to semi-evergreen. Full sun to dappled shade with excellent drainage and lean, gritty soil. Best placed where air circulation is good and the roots can remain cool, perhaps in a rock garden. Drought tolerant but enjoys occasional summer water. Cold hardy from 0F, USDA zone 7. 4D @ $12 Pteridaceae Austrocedrus chilensis [Cañon Infernillo, Chile] chilean incense cedar Lovely, drought adapted tree with somewhat weeping branches of light green cast in blue and a narrow, upright form, to 50 ft tall x 15 ft wide, keeps its columnar shape until quite old when the crown may broaden at the top. Bark is orange to darker brown and peels in narrow strips. This high elevation collection from about 4500 ft indicates cold hardiness of close to 0F, USDA zone 7, if provided bright light and good drainage. Reminiscent of our own native incense cedar, Calocedrus decurrens. 2g @ $32 Cupressaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 68
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Begonia hemsleyana Very hardy begonia grown in gardens for many years. Dormant through winter, emerging in June with fuzzy red stems carrying palmate leaves, dark green spreckled white. A very nice texture for the shady, woodland garden, in moist conditions -- but not too moist. A bit of drying before watering is welcome. Requires good air circulation as well. Found at 4-6,000 ft elevation in Yunnan, China, these are frost hardy to USDA zone 7. 6in @ $14 Begoniaceae Berberis calliantha black-berried barberry Good foundation plant or accent for the garden, this evergreen shrub, to 3-5 ft tall x 3 ft wide but easily trimmed, has small, holly-like leaves, dark green and shiny, contrasting with the reddish brown stems. Spring flowers are light yellow, inverted cups, nearly 1" across; autumn berries are blue-black as the common name suggest. Easy in sun to light shade with some summer water. Frost hardy to 0F, USDA zone 7. 2g @ $24 Berberidaceae Berberis darwinii A striking barberry, the flowers, bright yellow-orange on red stems, are showy and cheerful over a long season in spring.

LaPeña, Mex. 7600' From a 1993 collection in Coahuila, Mexico an unnamed, strap-leaved perennial to about 24,” with very pretty flowers, orange red with bases dipped in green held on pink stems! Think hummingbirds! Frost hardy in USDA zone 7; evergreen to 15F. Full sun to medium shade (full shade in very hot climates) with occasional summer water. A very nice plant. 6in @ $16 Agavaceae/Asparagaceae Caesalpinia gilliesii poinciana The Brazilian bird-of-paradise. Exuberant tropical appearance belies its hardiness.
