Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Musa basjoo hardy fiber banana One of the boldest plants we sell. After 3 years, 20 foot stems with 10 foot long leaves and drooping branches of huge yellow flowers followed by real (insipid) bananas. Full to part sun, serious irrigation and heavy fertilizer. Plant 6" deeper than soil in can. Cold hardy in USDA zone 7a. Wow. 5g @ $42 Musaceae Myrica californica pacific bayberry, pacific wax myrtle Large shrub with multiple upright stems, to 15 ft or so, but easily kept smaller. Can be shorn into a hedge or trained to tree form with a single trunk. Evergreen leaves are long and fine textured, emerging apple-green and turning darker with age. One of our best natives, often found growing along the immediate West Coast in full sun to half shade and good drainage. Tolerates drought on the coast but looks better with at least occasional summer water. Frost hardy to 0F, USDA zone 7. 1g @ $14, 2g @ $22 Myricaceae Myrtus luma 'Glanleam Gold' Cheerful, large shrub, slowly to 8 ft or so, with cinnamon bark peeling in patches and tiny, evergreen leaves variegated with creamy yellow margins and pink tinged when young. Small, white spring flowers become edible fruit, it is said. Sun to part shade -- afternoon shade in hottest climates -- with good drainage and regular summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 5g @ $38 Myrtaceae Nerium oleander 'Hardy White' hardy white oleander The hardiest of the oleander clones in cultivation, these with pure white flowers on 4-6 ft, evergreen shrubs. Full sun, bright and blasty, is what they like without requiring a great deal of supplemental irrigation in summer. Undamaged when temperatures dip to the mid teens, mid USDA zone 8, though the leaves can burn around 14F. Plants have resprouted from the low single digits in zone 7. 2g @ $24 Apocynaceae Nolina 'La Siberica' [D07-64] A Cistus introduction. Selected from seed collected at 8000 ft, in La Siberica, Mexico, this handsome plant, a symmetrical fountain of long, graceful, flowing leaves, eventually develops a trunk up to 6 ft tall. Definitely attracts attention on the Cistus garden. Enjoys full sun and requires very little summer water. Frost hardy to 0F, USDA zone 7. 2g @ $24, 5g @ $55 Agavaceae Nolina microcarpa sacahuista, sawgrass, beargrass Smallish clumping sotol. Three foot long narrow leaves form a dense evergreen mound. White flowers held well above foliage in summer. Full sun, a little summer water. Good drainage. 1g @ $14, 5g @ $47 Agavaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 90
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Nolina texana bear grass A bigger, bolder version of the somewhat more common and varied N. microcarpa. This Texas native grows to a bold textured 5 ft with deep green arching leaves and creamy white flower spikes rising to 8 ft or more in spring and summer. Exceedingly drought tolerant but a little summer water would increase its growth rate. Sun to dappled shade. Frost hardy to about 0F, USDA zone 7, or even a little below. 1g @ $15, 5g @ $47 Agavaceae Nyssa sinensis chinese tupelo A lovely and vigorous form of the deciduous swamp tupelo, this chinese species grows taller, to 40 ft or more and half as wide, with apical dominance (uprighteousness...) maintained much more easily than our native North American species. Sun to dappled shade. Best with summer water but tolerates some drought. Also sits happily in winter water. Fall colors are vibrant red to deep oranges to gold. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 2g @ $28 Nyssaceae Ophiopogon jaburan 'White Dragon' white lilyturf Lovely, variegated lilyturf, a Japanese native with white-striped, green leaves adding texture to the garden as a ground cover or specimen. Leaves can be as long as 2 ft forming clumps to 1 ft in diameters and spreading by underground rhizomes. Later summer flowers add color with clusters of purple-blue flowers on 6" stems. Full to part sun with regular summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 6in @ $12 Liliaceae / Asparagaceae Opuntia ellisiana tigertongue Hurray for this nearly spineless, not-to-prickly, prickly pear with blue-green pads, to 6" in diameter, in clumps to as much as 3 ft tall x 4 ft wide. Late summer flowers are bright yellow. Of probable Mexican origin and found in cultivation in and about alpine Texas, these are beautiful, architectural plants, fast-growing and safe to have around small, curious children. Loves summer water but can fare well without. Frost hardy into the bottom of USDA zone 7. A plant with many synonyms including O. lindheimeri var. ellisiana and O. cacanapa 'Ellisiana'. 4D @ $12 Cactaceae Opuntia violacea var. santa-rita Striking, round-padded, miniature tree, to 4-6 ft, this variety from Chochise Country in southeastern Arizona, has pads almost completely round, tinted deep pinky purple especially in winter, and few or no central spines. Flowers are dark yellow ringed with copper. Very good, if not classic container specimen or garden plant in full sun with very well-drained soil and occasional summer water where monsoons don’t hit. Frost hardy to about 0F to –5F, USDA zone 7, if dry. 2g @ $32 Cactaceae Ornithogalum viridiflorum summer hyacinth Greenish white, waxy, long-lasting flowers, like hanging bells on stems up to 20 on stems to 24-36", add something special to the summer garden. This South African bulb has rosettes of grassy, aromatic leaves forming small clumps from which the flower stems arise. Herbaceous, dying back in winter to return in spring. Full sun in rich, well-drained soil with average summer water. Frost hardy to 0F, USDA zone 7. 6in @ $16 Liliaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 91
