Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Chusquea culeou Upright, solid-caned, well mannered, clumping bamboo with “bottlebrush” branch arrangement. To 8-10 ft tall. New shoots are a breathtaking red, pink and green fading to white. For sun and summer water. Frost hardy to 0F, USDA zone 7. From Chile, there are ideal as specimen plants or statements in a South American design. 5g @ $65, 7g @ $85 Poaceae Clerodendrum trichotomum 'Carnival' variegated glory bower In all our travels we have never seen this plant used better as a street tree than in Portland. In August the heavy fragrance of the white flowers dances through the streets, especially at night. Flower color is enhanced by the variegated foliage, green edged in cream and white, and turquoise berries framed by crimson bracts that add to its fall fun. To 10 ft tall or so. Choice. Frost hardy to 0F, USDA zone 7. 1g @ $18 Lamiaceae Clerodendrum trichotomum 'Golden Glory' glorybower Though having much the same shape as the species, this slightly smaller cultivar, to 10-12 ft with umbrella form, has striking golden leaves often tinted orange when emerging and fading to spring green in mid to late season. Fragrant white flowers appear in mid to late summer followed by metallic blue, red-bracted fruit. A handsome addition to the garden in bright light for best color and at least occasional summer water where dry. Can colonize with root disturbance - a good or bad thing. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 5g @ $47 Verbenaceae Clerodendrum trichotomum 'Spring Purple' A purple-flushed leaf form of the classic harlequin glory bower. This form found in an old Portland garden courtyard by Josh McCollough. Having slightly smaller leaves with great purple coloring in the spring, slowly greening with more purple returning on new growth in summer. Likely the variety; C. trichotomum var. fargesii. A good street tree for Portland, though seldom used, with sweet smelling, white flowers in late summer, perfuming the neighborhood especially at night. Turquoise berries framed by crimson bracts add to fall fun. Foliage is aromatic as well -- think peanut butter. To 10 ft tall or so in full sun for best flowers and fruits and water occasionally in summer. Planting in reach of a lawn mower eliminates pesky suckers. Easily frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 5g @ $42 Lamiaceae Cleyera japonica 'Tricolor' A striking, tea family member growing to about 6 ft tall and wide with horizontal branches and narrow, evergreen leaves, emerging pinky red, edged and marbled in platinum, white, and salmon. Sweetly scented, creamy white flowers appear in spring. Does well in sun to part shade with regular summer moisture. Cold hardy in USDA zone 7. 2g @ $32 Theaceae / Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 72
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Corylopsis aff. pauciflora - evergreen form Sent to us by Pierre Piroche, this rare, 10-12 ft, gracefully spreading evergreen shrub, collected in the Himalayas, appears to be a form of the more common C. pauciflora with, in this case, winter flowers of light yellow, just a bit fragrant, and most interestingly, evergreen leaves, to about 4", pleated a bit like a ruffled potato chip and a very pretty blue-green, lighter on the underside. Needless to say, nearly nonexistent in cultivation. So far frost hardy to at least USDA zone 7. Some summer water. Dappled shade is best but has thriven in full sun as well. 2g @ $32 Hamamelidaceae Crinum bulbispermum south african river lily Striking South African lily with a large long-necked bulb. Arching, strap-like, blue-green leaves form clumps to 3 ft tall & wide, topped in mid-spring with large, funnel-shaped, fragrant flowers in white or shades of pink with a red streak on each petal. Best in sun or part shade in hot climates with plentiful water during during the growing season. Tolerates soggy soil but appreciates a dryer environment in dormancy. Dislikes being transplanted and takes time to establish so patience is required as well. Frost hardy in USDA zones 7-10. 6in @ $14, 1g @ $14 Amaryllidaceae Cupressus arizonica var. glabra 'Blue Ice' blue ice arizona cypress Wonderfully soft blue cypress for dry conditions that reaches up to 15 ft tall x 6-8 ft wide in bright sun with good air circulation and well-drained soil. Drought tolerant once established, forming deeper and more stable root structures in dryer conditions. Makes a striking accent or hedge. Beautiful and very frost hardy to 0F, USDA zone 7. 1g @ $14 Cupressaceae Cupressus himalaica bhutan cypress Shared with us by Tony Avent whose plant apparently succumbed to impact by meteor (he says it was an ice storm) -- the most important point being that, compared to C. cashmeriana, in prolonged temperatures below 20F the species is quite a bit tougher having withstood dips below 10F no worse for wear. A pyramidal tree eventually to 20-30 ft in cultivation with deliciously weeping branchlets of powder blue contrasting stoically with the rich, orange-red bark. We provide ours consistent but infrequent irrigation in summer. Fast growing. Probably cold hardy to the bottom end of USDA zone 7, possibly squeaking into zone 6; maybe you can tell us. 5g @ $52 Cupressaceae Cupressus sempervirens 'Skinny Princess' A Cistus introduction with a name that sounds good but has no particular meaning -- except that plants are skinny. This selection, chosen from a random planting of seedlings, produces, in ten years, plants 12-15 ft tall but no more than 12” in width. Skinny, indeed, with dense, dark green foliage and absolutely no inferiority complex. Seriously, we have repeated this in the garden to great effect, and recommend it over the very poor and disease-prone cultivar C. 'Tiny Tower.' Full sun for best effect with little to no summer water once established. Frost hardy in mid USDA zone 7. 2g @ $38 Cupressaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 73
