A TERRA NOVA NURSERIES, OR s C E G F WALTERS GDN, MI/WALTERS GARDENS s A. Athyrium niponicum ‘Burgundy Lace’ PP 15,072 (Japanese Painted Fern) Part Sun to Shade n 12” tall Zone: 4–8 n Origin: Japan We first saw this amazing selection of the deer-resistant Japanese painted fern on a West Coast trip in 1999 and have been patiently waiting for adequate stock to offer. Actually, “patiently” might not be a good choice of words. Regardless, the new leaves are a stunning purple with silver stripes along the vein lines and tips. As the older leaves mature, they transform into a contrasting silvery green with purple midribs. Athyrium ‘Burgundy Lace’ forms a truly dazzling clump in the woodland garden. Pot Size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) Catalog #5105 $15.00 15324 Terra Nova Nurseries, OR B. Athyrium ‘Ocean’s Fury’ PP 20,126 (Ocean’s Fury Fern) Part Sun to Light Shade n 36” tall Zone: 3–9 n Origin: Hybrid From North Carolina’s own Thurman Maness comes this 2007 introduction... a Japanese painted fern hybrid forming a 3’ tall x 2’ wide deer-resistant clump with lacy silver-green fronds, each ending with an attractive petticoat...a unique breakthrough...both the fern and Thurman! Pot Size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) Catalog #7817 $15.00 62317 C. Athyrium otophorum (Asian Lady Fern) Part Sun to Light Shade n 18” tall Zone: 6–9, at least n Origin: China, Japan This lovely 2’ wide, deer-resistant evergreen fern is so unique that it is actually recognizable from a distance. The triangular, plastic-like, pewter-green fronds are accented with dark reddish stipes (stems). When the new growth emerges, the contrast of the unfurling, reddish new foliage is dynamite against the green of the fronds...outstanding as a specimen plant in the woodland garden! Pot Size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) Catalog #791 $12.00 62456 D. Bambusa multiplex ‘Alphonse Karr’ (Alphonse Karr Clumping Bamboo) Sun to Part Sun n 216” tall Zone: 7b–10 n Origin: China We simply adore this stunning clumping bamboo that makes an 18’ tall deerresistant clump (35’ in more tropical areas) of 1” diameter canes, vertically striped gold and green. We have observed slight foliage burn at 10 degrees F and some cane dieback at 8 degrees F. While we have had clumps die to the ground at 0 degrees F, they have always resprouted nicely when summer warmth arrived, although it takes a few years to recover their full size. Pot Size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) Catalog #2124 $22.00 19235 E. Bambusa multiplex ‘Green Giant’ (Green Giant Clumping Perennial Bamboo) Sun to Part Sun n 300” tall Zone: 7b–10 n Origin: China Several years ago we had a green mutation on our clump of Bambusa ‘Alphonse Karr’ which, when planted on its own, grew to Sasquatch proportions (25’ tall x 8’ wide at the base). Our original clump is now 9 years old and, although we see some tip damage at 14 degrees F, it has much better winter hardiness than the other Bambusa multiplex cultivars we grow and doesn’t die to the ground like Bambusa ‘Alphonse Karr’ at the same temperatures. Our largest canes are already over 1” diameter. Although it doesn’t run, Bambusa ‘Green Giant’ still takes up plenty of space...so locate it correctly. Pot Size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) Catalog #9026 $22.00 62393 Baptisia (Redneck Lupine, Wild Indigo) Baptisias have long been one of our favorite groups of sun perennials, rivaling the famed lupine for beauty and structure, but being far easier to grow and maintain. Baptisias are deer-resistant ornamental members of the pea family, most with blue-green foliage, topped by magnificent stalks of flowers in early spring. We are pleased to present a wide selection of the best sun garden species, as well as some of the most amazing hybrids you’ll ever see. Baptisias hail from drier parts of the country...perfect for xeriscaping. F. Baptisia ‘Blueberry Sundae’ PPAF (Blueberry Sundae Redneck Lupine) Sun n 36” tall n Zone: 4–8, at least Origin: USA Hybrid NEW! 26 MONDAY–FRIDAY 8AM–5PM 919.772.4794 919.662.0370 FAX OFFICE@PLANTDELIGHTS.COM B D Baptisia ‘Blueberry Sundae’ is a 2012 release from the breeding work of Walters Gardens’ Hans Hansen that includes both Baptisia australis and the more compact Baptisia minor. Baptisia ‘Blueberry Sundae’ makes a refined 3’ tall x 3’ wide clump, topped in late April (NC) with 3’ tall spikes of lavender blue flowers...a much improved Baptisia australis look-alike. Pot Size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) Catalog #9455 $12.00 62457 Walters Gdn, MI/Walters Gardens G. Baptisia ‘Carolina Moonlight’ (Carolina Moonlight Redneck Lupine) Sun n 53” tall n Zone: 3–9 Origin: USA Hybrid We are thrilled to be able to offer this 2002 introduction from the late Rob Gardner. Baptisia ‘Carolina Moonlight’ was discovered by Rob as a random seedling at the NC Botanical Garden. This cross of Baptisia sphaerocarpa x Baptisia alba makes a vigorous, easy-to-grow, deer-resistant, 3’ wide garden specimen of blue-green foliage. Baptisia ‘Carolina Moonlight’ is topped in late spring with stunning 18” spikes of soft buttery-yellow. This great lupine substitute is long-lived, heat-loving, and drought-tolerant...you can’t say the same for true lupines! Pot Size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) Catalog #4218 $12.00 26190
H. Baptisia ‘Cherries Jubilee’ PPAF (Cherries Jubilee Redneck Lupine) Sun n 36” tall n Zone: 4–9 Origin: USA NEW! This 2011 Hans Hansen introduction makes a well-branched 3’ tall x 3’ wide clump, topped in late April (NC) with flower stalks adorned with dark mahogany buds that open to cinnamon colored flowers, highlighted by yellow keels. As with all baptisia, its drought tolerance and deer-resistance are legendary. This is a wonderfully vigorous hybrid that you’re sure to enjoy. Pot Size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) Catalog #9452 $12.00 62458 Shady Oaks Nursery I. Baptisia ‘Dutch Chocolate’ PPAF (Dutch Chocolate Perennial Redneck Lupine) Sun n 30” tall n Zone: 4–9 n Origin: USA NEW! This compact 2011 Hans Hansen introduction (a Baptisia minor hybrid) forms a 30” tall x 2’ wide clump topped in late April (NC) with spikes of black-purple buds that mature to brown...the darkest flower of any baptisia so far. Baptisia ‘Dutch Chocolate’ is an amazing color breakthrough in this wonderful group of US native, deer-resistant, drought-tolerant perennials. Pot Size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) Catalog #9454 $12.00 62459 Walters Gdn, MI/Walters Gardens J. Baptisia ‘Lemon Meringue’ PPAF (Lemon Meringue Perennial Redneck Lupine) Sun n 36” tall n Zone: 4–9 Origin: USA NEW! Baptisia ‘Lemon Meringue’ is a yummy 2011 Hans Hansen hybrid that forms a 3’ tall x 3’ wide vigorous clump, topped with dark purple spikes, adorned with contrasting large dark yellow flowers. You’ll love this very vigorous, attractive selection! Pot Size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) Catalog #9453 $12.00 62460 Shady Oaks Nursery K. Baptisia ‘Purple Smoke’ (Purple Smoke Redneck Lupine) Sun to Part Sun n 50” tall Zone: 3–9 n Origin: USA Hybrid This 1996 introduction by the late NC Botanical Garden curator Rob Gardner, was selected at the garden from rows of Baptisia minor var. aberrans (not Baptisia australis as is often printed) seedlings. Obviously, some unsafe plant sex had taken place with a wandering Baptisia alba. The result is an extremely vigorous, deer-resistant baptisia with charcoalgreen stems (when mature) and dozens of giant lupine-like flower heads of dusty purple. You will grow to love this outstanding introduction more with each year as the clump matures...SUPERB! Pot Size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) Catalog #2190 $12.00 9649 NC Botanical Gdn, NC/Rob Gardner L. Begonia boliviensis (Bolivian Begonia) Part Sun to Light Shade n 12” tall Zone: 7b–8, at least n Origin: Argentina Seeing these great tuberous begonias hanging from the cliffs in northern Argentina as we drove along in 2002 was, indeed, an incredible experience. The arching stems form a 2’ wide clump and are clothed in pointed angel-wing type leaves. At the end of each stem are amazing 2” long bright orange-red bells...a hummingbird delight. In our shaded garden, these have performed wonderfully, drawing raves from all who pass by. These do not emerge from dormancy until June, so chill out. In colder zones, this is an amazing pot or basket plant. Pot Size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) Catalog #5086 $15.00 19528 M. Begonia grandis ‘Heron’s Pirouette’ (Heron’s Pirouette Hardy Begonia) Part Sun to Shade n 15” tall Zone: 5–9 n Origin: Japan This Heronswood introduction was made from wild-collected seed from Dan Hinkley’s 1997 expedition to Japan. While the triangular green foliage on the 15” clump is similar to the species, it is the huge and excessively large flower clusters of deep pink that set this selection apart. For us, Begonia ‘Heron’s Pirouette’ begins flowering in June and continues treating hummingbirds nonstop until fall. As with the species, it reproduces true from axillary bulbils, so you’ll soon have plenty to share. Very easy and very nice! Pot Size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) Catalog #4820 $13.00 20050 Bletilla (Hardy Ground Orchid) Of all of the terrestrial orchids, none are easier to grow than bletillas. These durable and hardy spring-flowering perennial orchids prefer a slightly moist or rich garden soil. About the only thing they don’t like is bone-dry soil and full sun. If you have always thought orchids were difficult to grow, give a bletilla a try. N. Bletilla striata (Hardy Ground Orchid) Part Sun n 15” tall n Zone: 6–9 Origin: E. Asia This hardy and very easy-to-grow terrestrial orchid has upright, heavily textured, iris-like 10” long x 1” wide green leaves and forms a slowly spreading clump. In early spring, stalks to 15” tall of very small cattleya-like flowers are held atop the foliage. The rhizomes spread slowly and eventually form a nice mass. Bletilla striata grows best in moist to damp soils.
