Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Leptospermum lanigerum - Mt. Wall tea tree This late spring flowering Tasmanian tea tree becomes a medium shrub in time, to 5-10 ft tall x 3-5 ft wide -not really a tree at all. Silvery evergreen leaves are small and fragrant when crushed or brushed and meld well with all sorts of other foliage types while creating a perfect backdrop for the small, single, white, fragrant flowers. Full sun to light shade is best where soil is well-drained. Needs little summer water once established. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 5g @ $42 Myrtaceae Lespedeza liukiuensis 'Little Volcano' Shared with us by plantsman extraordinaire Ted Stephens, this 6 to 8 foot shrub from the garden of Dr. Shibamichi in Japan begins flowering mid-autumn (and sporadically year-round), producing a lava flow of magenta to cerise flowers accentuated by striking late November-December golden fall color. Despite its subtropical origins in the Ryukyu Islands of Japan, this has been reliable in USDA zone 7. A lover of warmth and water. Full sun to half shade. Particularly good as container plants or near wall edges. 6in @ $16 Fabaceae Libertia ixiodes 'Goldfinger' new zealand iris One of the brightest, with cascading, gold-orange foliage on a clumping, garden accent, to about 18” x 18”. White star-like flowers appear in clusters mid-spring, producing large yellow berries for fall. These New Zealand natives prefer sun to part shade and rich, moist, well-drained soil but tolerate some summer drought once established. Easily frost hardy in USDA zone 8 and reported to tolerate temperatures as low as 0F. 6in @ $16 Iridaceae Ligustrum japonicum 'Aureum' japanese privet Shared with us by Pat McCracken, this 5 ft, compact shrub produces the same waxy, shiny leaves as the species but they are of a rich, warm golden. In full sun the tips bleach, giving it a two-tone effect; in more shade the protected branches maintain a spring-green tone. Clusters of creamy white flowers attract bees in spring. Provide even summer moisture. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. A fine pot plant. 2g @ $24 Oleaceae Ligustrum japonicum 'Ko Ryu' japanese privet New and unusual evergreen shrub, a Japanese selection, with shiny, dark green leaves that are narrow, curved, and slightly twisted with a ridge along the midrib, creating a striking and irregular texture. Becomes graceful with age as, eventually, a handsome, small tree for sun to part shade with regular summer water. A good container plant. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 2g @ $24 Oleaceae Lithocarpus edulis tanbark oak This extremely handsome, Japanese evergreen, tanbark oak is usually a shrub to 10 ft in the garden, but can be pruned as a small tree. Leaves are glossy yellow-green on top and blue-green underneath. Acorns are both ornamental and edible. Full to part sun with regular water to establish. Drought tolerant thereafter. Frost hardy to USDA zone 7. 5g @ $47 Fagaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 86
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Lonicera nitida boxleaf honeysuckle Very useful evergreen shrub with small, roundish leaves, glossy and dark green, on densely branched structures. To 4-5 ft tall and wide and easily pruned or sheared as a finely textured hedge. Grown primarily for the foliage but occasionally produces small, white flowers in spring that become black berries. For sun to part shade in well-drained soil. Prefers summer moisture but, tolerates some summer drought in shady sites. Frost hardy to 0F, USDA zone 7. 1g @ $11 Caprifoliaceae Loropetalum chinense chinese witch hazel Easy chinese witch hazel with small, green leaves and thread-like white flowers primarily in early spring, but occasionally throughout the year. A small shrub, to 3-5 ft tall though older specimens in ideal conditions can grow taller, and evergreen in USDA zone 8, with reports of survival in protected spots in USDA zone 6. Sun to part shade with regular summer water. Tolerates great heat as well. 1g @ $14 Hamamelidaceae Loropetalum chinense 'Snow Dance' Hassle free and easy witch-hazel relative, this one with white flowers and green leaves and a bit more frost hardy than its purple-leaved cousins. Evergreen and developing into a large shrub or small tree, to 6-8 ft if left on its own, but easily pruned to any size. New leaves emerge with red-maroon tips fading to lime. In spring, white, fringe-like flowers cover the foliage. Rich soil in full to part sun with regular summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 2g @ $24 Hamamelidaceae Loropetalum chinense 'Zhuzhou Pink' chinese fringe flower We at Cistus seem to be bent on growing every loropetalum there ever was -- and then some. 'Zhuzhou Pink' has been a favorite. The weeping habit of its branches, the darkest burgundy leaves and the large, 1", spidery pink to cerise flowers together make it a dazzling garden or container species. It has also been rated as among the most frost hardy, surviving winters to as low as several degrees below 0F with little damage, though should be planted in the warmest places anywhere frost might nip at late season new growth. Lovers of summer water and bright light for best color though quite at home in dappled shade. Frost hardy just below USDA zone 7. 2g @ $28 Hamamelidaceae Lysimachia paridiformis var. stenophylla Evergreen perennial to about one ft high and slowly spreading with gold speckled yellow-green leaves and spidery yellow flowers. Tough, requiring only consistent moisture and protection from the harshest sun. Looking good year round. Good in containers.
