moderate grower with deep green fronds. The leaves are
slightly twisted make a ruffled appearance.

will turn dark green. This hardy fern is a Chinese and northern
Indian native. 1 gal. $ 14.00

are not divided as most ferns. This slow growing evergreen

D. WALLICHIANA 'MOLTEN LAVA' - One of the
greatest hardy ferns. D. 'Wallechiana' has grown to 6' for us.
This fern looks like a tree fern without the trunk. A great plant
for mixing into the woodland garden with hostas, etc.

EDGEWORTHIA
E. CHRYSANTHA - Edgeworthia chrysantha is a golden
yellow daphne relative. The flowers are double the size of E.
papyrifera and are pleasantly fragrant. In summer the plant
looks tropical with its large, dark green leaves. Has been
hardy to 0° F several times but our best plants have some wind
protection. 1 gal. $ 25.00
5 gal. $ 75.00
E. PAPYRIFERA is the smaller of the two species we
grow, but is still a pretty plant. The flowers are the same as E.
chrysantha except in size and lack of fragrance. E. papyrifera
is a much smaller plant so will be more adapted to a smaller
garden. E. payrifera seems to need some shelter from
evergreens, a wall or a house to give just slightly more
protection from the winds. 1 gal. $ 20.00
large 5 gal. $ 75.00
ELEAGNUS PUNGENS 'MACULATA' - Evergreen with
golden blotch in leaf center. Can grow in full sun to fairly
heavy shade. Great plant for foliage arrangements.
1 gal. $ 14.00
2 gal. $ 17.00
ELEUTHEROCOCCUS SIEB. 'VARIEGATUS'-
Formerly Acanthapanax sieboldianus 'Variegatus'. This
variegated shrub is almost a wonder plant because it will grow
in Chicago as well as northern Florida. Eleutherococcus
grows in almost full sun as well as deep shade. Our plant
grows under a huge red oak in full day shade and thrives. The
white margined leaves almost glow out from the shade. This
plant has so little green for chlorophyll it is very slow
growing. 1 gal. $ 25.00
ENKIANTHUS
E. 'AKATUKI' - This enkianthus has medium pink
flowers in April - May. The thing we notice is its great vigor.
the dark green foliage turns brilliant red in fall.
1 gal. $ 20.00
E. CAMPANULATUS 'RED VELVET' - Rich darker red
flowers than the typical E. campanulatus. the flowers appear
in April and May. The dark green foliage turns wonderfully
red in fall. 1 gal. $ 20.00
E. CAMPANULATUS 'SHOWY LANTERN' is a deep
red flowering enkianthus. The flower are smaller than many
cultivars, but each flower is much brighter color. This brighter
color will show off the clusters of slowers better than many of
the larger hybrids. The fall foliage color is brilliant red on 1n
8-10' shrub. 1 gal. $ 18.00

Enkianthus (cont.)
ENKIANTHUS CAMPANULATUS 'VARIEGATUS' -
E. campanulatus 'Variegatus' has small, green leaves with
creamy white margins. We don't think the plant will get much
more that 3-4' tall. Haven't seen many flowers on our plants,
but the main use is for the variegated foliage. The plant will
need to be grown in at least partial shade.
1 gal. $ 14.00
2 gal. $ 20.00
EPIMEDIUM -
E. FROLEITHIN - Brilliant golden yellow flowers on
stems up to 12" tall. The evergreen foliage holds up well
during most winters, but we take hedge shears to the plants in
January-February. One of the most vigorous growers in the
garden. 1 gal. $ 10.00
E. GRANDIFLORUM - This 6" epimedium has white
flowers in spring. The slowly spreading woodlander is a good
companion for ferns, spring bulbs and other woodlanders.
1 gal. $ 10.00
E. LILAFEE - Has light lavender flowers on a small (6")
plant. E. 'Lilafee' is an easy hardy plant.
1 gal. $ 12.00
E. O'KUDA'S WHITE' - A low growing epimedium
that has large white spured flowers in early spring. For us this
is the best of the white flowering epimedims. A great plant to
grow with omphaloides and other small woodland charmers.
1 gal. $ 14.00
E. ORION - Large rich purple flowers cover this large
sized epimedium. Our plant gets up to one foot and slowly
spreads. The flowers are just above the leaves so are backed
by the dark green leaves. 1 gal. $ 14.00
E. RUBRUM ' - This old variety of epimedium has
medium red flowers in spring. When we pick up the flower
and look close there is a yellow stripe surrounded by the red.
Still a good garden plant even though it's been grown a long
time. 1 gal. $ 10.00
E. SULPHUREUM - This soft yellow flowering
epimedium forms handsome clumps in the garden. We've had
E. sulphureum in our garden for years, but have finally divided
our plants so we can make it available.
1 gal. $ 12.00
EUCRYPHIA -
E. GLUTINOSA - This is the hardiest of the eucrypias.
This deciduous large shrub will have white flowers in July-
August. The flowers are honey scented and are 2" across with
a large base of stamens. 1 gal. $ 20.00
E. INTERMEDIA - This evergreen eucryphia is one of the
hardier members of this beautiful genus. The glossy green
leaves are an excellent foil for the 2" white flowers in late
summer. Please don't try this plant outside the Pacific Coast
area. Being a southern hemisphere plant, it can't survive cold
(no colder than 0° F.) or heat. 2 gal. $ 24.00
E. MILLIGINII - Said to get to be a small tree, but so far
we only have an 18" specimen after several years. The leaves
are dark evergreen and tiny. Looks like a very small
Eucryphia lucida. Flowers are small white in summer. Only
adapted to coastal California or the Northwest.
