Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Edgeworthia chrysantha 'Akebono' red paper bush Another amazing daphne relative, this rarer form of the paper bush shrub has Crayon® orange flowers rather than yellow. Not quite as scented as the species. Deciduous, slow-growing shrub, to 5-6 ft tall, with winter blooms on handsome, bare stems. Sun to part shade with plentiful summer water. Frost hardy in upper USDA zone 7. 2g @ $28 Thymelaeaceae Elaeagnus pungens 'Clemson Variegated' silverthorn Variegated olive relative, this with striking center markings of yellow and gold on dark green foliage...or perhaps better described as yellow and gold foliage with a narrow, dark green margin. By either description a striking evergreen shrub, over time to 10 ft tall x 10 ft wide, with fragrant flowers in the fall. Enjoys welldrained soil and average summer water. Plant in sun, where it holds its color very well, or part shade. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 2g @ $14 Elaeagnaceae Elaeagnus pungens 'Hosoba-fukurin' silverberry This shrub is as durable in the landscape as it is handsome with narrow, creamy yellow margins that set off the small, shiny green leaves on thorny branches. Evergreen, growing rapidly to at least 5 ft tall or so and nearly as wide with a somewhat lax and spreading habit. Autumn flowers are white and intensely fragrant, attracting passersby. Sun or half sun and regular summer water, though tolerant of some summer drought. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 6in @ $16, 2g @ $24 Elaeagnaceae Eucalyptus neglecta omeo gum By far one of the most desirable gums we can grow in the Northwest. Multi-trunked to 40 ft or so, its foliage has the best Vicks Vap-O-Rub smell around. Huge juvenile leaves on square stems become narrower and longer in adult foliage. Flowers in youth. Good in arrangements. Sun, well-drained soil and little summer water once established. Root hardy to 0F - bottom of USDA zone 7, though has been known to suffer leaf burn if not sufficiently hardened off before the harsh winter winds whip. 5g @ $28 Myrtaceae Eucalyptus perriniana spinning gum This is the eucalyptus most often seen as cut foliage at the florist, with the juvenile leaves that encircle the stem. Plants can be coppiced to maintain a smaller size as well as the attractive, juvenile foliage or grown into multi-trunked trees, quickly reaching 30 ft, with flaking bark and long, narrow adult leaves to 6" with juvenile foliage showing as well. Requires full sun, lean and well-drained soil, and little summer water once established. Easy and very frost hardy, to 0F, USDA zone 7, or lower. 2g @ $22 Myrtaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 76

Rich, well-drained soil, in any sunny location that does not collect too much water in the winter. Frost hardy into USDA zone 7, colder with mulch. This wonderful plant adds a dramatic punch to the mixed border or potted plant collection. 1g @ $12 Liliaceae Eucomis comosa 'Tugela Ruby' pineapple lily Upright, somewhat fleshy leaves to 18” tall, colored a deep, dark purple in this cultivar and, in mid summer, saturated pink, fragrant flowers, darkening over time. The flower stalks, looking indeed a bit like pineapples, make very good cut flowers. Full sun or part shade in hottest climates gives the best foliage color.
