CORYLUS 'RED MAJESTIC' . This is a new cultivar
of Harry Lauder's Walking Stick from Europe. The plant is
contorted everywhere (We haven't checked the roots yet.).
The difference is C. 'Red Majestic' has deep purple foliage so
will make a striking plant year round. This is one of the first
offerings of C. 'Red Majectic' and these plants are layers so
there will not be any understock to prune.

COTINUS
C. 'GOLDEN SPIRIT' - This plant had been the holy
grail for several years. We were first attracted to C. 'Golden
Spirit' through English magazines, but couldn't find it in the
U.S. We started seeing a few plants in public gardens by
2001. I finally found a source in 2001. The foliage is round
and smaller than many of the C. coggygria cultivars. The
distinctive difference is the golden color of the foliage which
is consistant spring-fall. This plant should be great used in a
border with greens and yellows or rich purples.

C. 'GRACE' is one of our best discoveries. We first listed
C. 'Grace' in 1993, and are still impressed with how great this
shrub can be. We got this Hillier named hybried in the mid
1980's as a one foot cutting. Our original plant is cut back
hard each spring to 6' and by the end of the season is 12-14'
high. The large mid purple leaves are pretty all summer, and
by fall they turn the most amazing pink, red, orange and
purple. As a cut back plant we get only a few flowers (no
great loss) but the foliage is superb.

C. 'YOUNG LADY' ® - This green leafed C. coggygria
has many large clusters of flowers (smoke) even on 6 inch
plants. Discovered by Hendrik Kolster of Boskoop, Holland.
The green leaves have orange-red fall color. The plant
probably will not get over 8-10 feet because of the heavy
flower production. Limited 1 gal.

COTONEASTER COOPERI. A very low growing
cotoneaster that will mound up to about 3-4" tall. If a rock is
in the way C. cooperi will follow the shape of the stone. The
evergreen leaves are really tiny and deep green. Great as a
container plant or even the smallest rock garden. The white
flowers will be followed by rich red fruit like rubies among the
green foliage. 1 gal. $ 8.00
CRATAEGUS MONOGYNA INERMIS 'COMPACTA' -
A dwarf hawthorn which is very compact and full. Our 15
year old is 4 feet tall and 18 inches across. Very dark foliage,
but so far no flowers or fruit. 1 gal. $ 25.00

C. 'GEORGE DAVIDSON' - An old cultivar from
England with mid yellow flowers in August.

C. 'SOLFATARE' - Probably our favorite crocosmia. C.
'Solfatare' has chocolate brown foliage like an iris. The spray
like flowers are golden yellow during late July-August. The
colors (flowers and foliage) are easy to combine with other
plants. We have a good supply of large plants available this
year. 1 gal. $ 12.00
C 'STAR OF THE EAST' - Perhaps the biggest flower of
any crocosmia. This crocosmia has wonderful lively yellow
flowers that are 2" across with an almost white center. The
flower petals end up being flat when they are fully open. The
foliage is one of the shortest of any crocosmia we grow.

CUNNINGHAMIA LANCEOLATA 'GLAUCA'.
The blue needled China fir is always a show stopper in any
garden. This large conifer has needles that twist as they come
out of the stems. C. lanceolata 'Glauca' will need to be trained
to make a leader and form a tree. 1 gal. $ 28.00
CYTISUS BATTANDIERI - The Pineapple Broom comes
from Morocco, but has been hardy for 30+ years in Eugene,
OR, hardy to -12° F. If given full sun and good drainage this
soft gray-green, large shrub will cover itself with flowers.
The flowers are dark yellow and smell like fresh pineapple.
Our plants in the garden are 15' tall after 10 years.

DAPHNE -
D. BHOLUA - Our original plants came from Marshall
Olbrich (Western Hills Nsy). This is the largest daphne in
the world. It can grow to 20' in shade. Borderline hardiness
here. We had our plant outside until 8°F. These great
container plants start blooming at Thanksgiving and finish in
March. Pleasing, sweet daphne fragrance.

D. HOUTTTEANA. This fairly recent
introduction has deep purple leaves year round. The small
mounding shrub will get 18-24" tall and will have reddish pink
flowers in the spring with a pleasing scent. We ony have a
few of this rare plant available. 2 gal. $ 45.00
D. 'JASMINEA' - An exceptionally tiny dwarf daphne.
This European native gets perhaps 6-8" tall. The very small
foliage is light gray-green. In spring - summer our plant is
covered in creamy white deliciously scented flowers. For the
very small rock garden or a container.
1 gal. $ 25.00
D. 'LAWRENCE CROCKER' - Named for one of the
founders of Siskiyou Rare Plant Nursery, Medford, OR. We
remember going to Siskiyou in the late 1960's and meeting
Mr. Crocker so it was great the Daphne 'Lawrence Crocker'
was named for him. The 3" x 12" wide plant has dark green,
narrow leaves. The flowers are rich pink purple and occur
sporadically all summer. A perfect plant for a rock garden.
1 gal. $ 14.00
D. MEZEREUM - Rough, tough, hardy, but still
beautiful. This is probably the hardiest daphne in cultivation.
Grows better in Eastern Washington than in our garden. The
purple flowers start in January and cover the stems. The
flowers are followed by red fruit in late summer.
