Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Prunus caroliniana 'Compacta' carolina cherry laurel Broadleaved evergreen shrub to small tree, to 15 ft tall x 6 ft wide and more with age, but easily kept smaller, trimmed as a hedge or small specimen. Fragrant leaves that can be sniffed but NOT ingested. A Texas native that is tolerant of great heat and drought but accepts summer water. Sun to part shade. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 5g @ $57 Rosaceae Prunus lusitanica portuguese laurel Think gorgeous, small, evergreen tree to 10-20 ft tall and wide with shiny, dark green leaves.. These are cherries, blooming in late spring in tall racemes of white, fragrant flowers. Purple-red berries ripen to black in autumn -- bitter so best left to birds. Can be grown as a large, multi-stemmed shrub. Sun to part shade with normal summer water to establish. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 5g @ $42 Rosaceae Pyrrosia sheareri shearer's felt fern A lovely and unusual evergreen fern, one that is not often available and hardly looks like a typical fern at all, the long, narrow leathery fronds -- pea green with silver hairs on the undersides when young -- maturing to dark green with rusty brown hairs on the undersides. To about 30" tall in clumps to 15-18" wide, growing best in rich, well-drained soil in morning sun to shade with summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 4D @ $18 Polypodiaceae Quercus ilex holly oak, holm oak Native to the Mediterranean, frequently grown as far north as the British Isles and occasionally in the western US. This olive green, silver tinted, medium to large tree, to 25-40 ft ft (more in a few hundred years) is most exquisitely adapted to dry summer climates and is a wonderful constituent of that Mediterranean look, just throw in an Italian cypress and some olives. Requires only well-drained soil and temperatures not falling below 0 to 10F, USDA zone 7, for any length of time. Not absolutely happy with the summer heat and humidity of the US Southeast unless in well-drained, exposed situations. 2g @ $28, 15g @ $285 Fagaceae Quercus suber cork oak The famed cork oak from the savannas of southwestern Europe, indeed used for repeated harvest of the real thing! Coming from our mirror climate, this makes a most beautiful and useful street or garden tree, reaching an eventual 50 ft, with thickened, orangey bark and rounded, evergreen leaves, somewhat shedding briefly in early spring as the new leaves emerge. (By the way, pigs love the acorns ... just saying.) Accepts a fair amount of garden water but most at home with long summer drought. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 6D @ $28 Fagaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 96
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Rhamnus californica - Cistus seedling Though we have not named this plant yet -- it appears that Rhamnus alaternus might be involved somehow -we think it a worthy and useful addition to the summer dry garden where an upright shrub or, if properly pruned, small tree, to 10 ft tall, with glossy leaves and silver bark is always welcome. A vigorous plant for hedging for single specimen. Best in sun to dappled shade with decent drainage. Very summer drought tolerant and expected frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 2g @ $22 Rhamnaceae Rhaphiolepis umbellata 'Minor' minor indian hawthorn Very nice, small evergreen shrub, native to Japan and Korea. To 3-4 ft tall by 2-3 ft wide, densely branched with a rounded form. Good for foundation plantings or a small hedge. The leaves are small, glossy and dark green turning bronze in winter and in new growth and the late spring flowers are white followed by purpleblack berries. Full sun to part shade. Prefers moist, well-drained soil but tolerates some drought. Frost hardy to USDA zone 7. 2g @ $22 Rosaceae Rhodohypoxis baurii 'Picta' Small plant, to only 5" tall, the grass-like leaves forming dainty clumps topped in early summer with nearly white, blushed pink flowers. Fragrant as well. Best grown in full sun with summer moisture and soil that drains very well. Winter deciduous and late to emerge in spring, their spot should be well marked for safety. Great in containers. Frost hardy to 0F, USDA zone 7. 1g @ $12 Hypoxidaceae Ribes aff. wilsoniae DJHC 777 Collected by Dan Hinkley in 1996 on the summit of Emei Shan in southwestern China, this attractive evergreen groundcover reaches 1ft high x 4ft wide. Clusters of greenish-yellow flowers appear in late winter. Best in bright shade and humus-rich soil with some added summer moisture. Frost hardy to 0F, USDA zone 7. 6in @ $12 Grossulariaceae Ribes speciosum 'Rana Creek' fuchsia flowered gooseberry When customers see the bright red, hanging bell flowers in early spring, it’s hard to keep this one in stock. A deciduous shrub, to 5-6 ft tall x 6-10 ft wide, with long, arching, and prickled branches, this one was selected by Suzanne Schettler for its great quantities of flowers. Tolerates drought in full sun to part shade, though may be summer deciduous if extremely dry. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 1g @ $16, 2g @ $22, 5g @ $42 Grossulariaceae Romneya coulteri matilija poppy Also known as ‘fried egg plant’ for its huge white flowers in late summer that look just like that. This is a big plant, fast-growing to 5 ft tall and forming large clumps of stalks with blue-green foliage and those fabulous flowers. HOT, DRY, DROUGHTY neglect is what it wants and lots of space. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 1g @ $18 Papaveraceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 97
