Ilex vomitoria 'William Fleming'
A strikingly upright cultivar of a southeast US native, the form is columnar --like Italian cypress (Cupressus
sempervivum), reaching 8-15 ft, though easily kept lower -- and accented with glossy, evergreen leaves, to
about 1" long, and small, orange-red berries in autumn. On mature plants, the upright branches can lean and
develop upright branchlets so plants are easily shorn or tied to retain a tighter presence. More tolerant of
moisture than Italian cypress. Lovers of heat and tolerant of drought once established, they are frost hardy to
USDA zone 7 and are best in full sun to only lightly dappled shade. As the name suggests, the fruit should not
be eaten.
6in @ $14 Aquifoliaceae
Impatiens omeiana
A handsome, hardy dwarf impatiens, winter deciduous, with cream-yellow flowers hidden by the handsomely
variegated foliage. Reaches 8-10” tall and spreads slowly but has not seeded around. Part shade to shade with
regular moisture. Very well behaved and frost hardy, resprouting in USDA zone 7, and possibly lower, with
mulch.
4in @ $6 Balsaminaceae
Impatiens omeiana 'Silver Pink'
This wonderful new selection of the Mt. Omei impatiens spreads slowly into a dense colony of 6" bronzy
stems and gorgeous leaves in a dark bronzy green sprinkled with silver, like fairy dust, with central veins in
pink that darkens and spills into the leaf. Yum. Mustard to salmon flowers make a great contrast from late
summer to frost. Shade to deep shade in moist soil with, of course, summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone
7.
4D @ $16 Balsaminaceae
Impatiens stenantha
Exciting and surprisingly frost hardy impatiens from the mountains of China's Yunnan province, a trailing
creature with green, ruffle-edged leaves, green tinged with red, and lovely yellow flowers with curling tails
and spotted red throats, the flowers held above the foliage for maximum enjoyment from spring to fall. Best
with coolish conditions in bright shade with average summer moisture. Not expected to enjoy intense heat or
humidity. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7!
4D @ $11 Balsaminaceae
Indigofera pseudotinctoria 'Rose Carpet'
From an increasingly large group of pea shrubs now available for gardens, this is one of the best we have
found in some time. Remaining under a foot in height but spreading or spilling to several feet with delicate,
compound leaves of under an inch and intense rose flowers over a very long season from spring through fall.
A lover of moderately rich soil, this is a must-have for container or the sunny border that receives at least
occasional summer water. Trim once a year to maintain desired shape. Frost hardy to USDA zone 7.
