C. SANGUINEA 'ARCTIC SUN' - (C. sanguinea 'Canto' PPAF) Developed by Andre Van Nijnatten in Holland. The stems are golden yellow with rich red at the tips. Keep watching for more beautiful stemmed cornus as there are many stunning selections coming in the future. 1 gal. $ 20.00 C. SANGUINEA 'COMPRESSA' - According to Paul Cappiello and Don Shadow's Dogwood book, this is a, "Bizarre little upright plant... without a doubt this is a plant geeks plant." I'm glad I'm a plant geek! The upright growth to 6'-8' will be at most 1' wide. We use our plants as an exclamation point to add height to the border. The leaves literally grow one on top of the other. 1 gal. $ 30.00 C. SANGUINEA 'MIDWINTER FIRE' - This is the best dogwood for the color of stem. The base of the plant is red and changes from yellow to orange towards the growing tip. A glowing color all winter. Best when stooled each spring. 1 gal. $ 14.00 3 for $ 36.00 C. STOLONIFERA 'HEDGEROWS GOLD' - We got this plant from Hedgerows <strong>Nursery</strong> in Mc Minnville, OR. Our native streamside dogwood grows into a large shrub. C.ornus stolonifera 'Hedgerows Gold' is a very adaptable plant as well as being a beautiful golden variegated shrub. We prune our plant to 18" each year. It immediately regrows to 5' each summer. Would be a good foil for golden flowers in a perennial border. 1 gal. $ 17.00 COROKIA COTONEASTER - The wire netting shrub has dark stems that bend and twist to form an unusual shrub up to 6-7'. The corokias make excellent container subjects. Hardy to perhaps 10° F. though our plants have been in the garden for 11 years without any damage. Most books say this plant doesn't flower, but our plants are covered with yellow flowers in spring. 1 gal. $ 14.00 CORREA 'MARION'S MARVEL' The Australian fuchsia has rich pink flowers during late winter. Makes a good container plant (hardy to 10-15° F) or a mounding shrub in California or the Oregon coast. 1 gal. $ 12.00 CORYLOPSIS - C. GOTOANA has typical yellow flowers like all the winter hazels, but they are smaller than C. spicata. The foliage is also smaller than C. spricata. This corylopsis is an intermediate between C. pauciflora and C. spicata. 1 gal. $ 18.00 C. 'LONGWOOD CHIMES' - This hybrid has long soft yellow flowers in early March. We only have a few plants available this year. 1 gal. $ 24.00 C. PAUCIFLORA - This is one of the finest of all shrubs we grow. C. pauciflora has a grace about it year round. In winter the branches form a lacy effect with dark colored, swollen flower buds. In March, the light yellow racemes cover the plant. 1 gal. $ 18.00 C. SPICATA - A larger flowered species. The yellow flowers have red stamens which is a very attractive feature. The foliage is larger than other species. 1 gal. $ 16.00 8 C. SPICATA 'AUREA' - We first saw this plant 3 or 4 years ago in Seattle. The new growth has a pink-purple color and the full matured leaves will be beautiful golden yellow all summer. The plant will have the typical 2" racemes in March and the will carry through the summer with golden foliage. 1 gal. $ 16.00 C. WILLMOTTAE 'SPRING PURPLE' - This corylopsis came from Hilliers originally. The new growth has distinctive purple foliage on the plant. C.w. 'Spring Purple' is an open 10'-12' shrub that many summers will hold the purple new growth until mid-July. 1 gal. $ 22.00 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 Majestic' . 1 gal. $24.00 COTINUS C. 'GOLDEN SPIRIT' - 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 consistent spring-fall. This plant should be great used in a border with greens and yellows or rich purples. 1 gal. $ 22.00 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 hybrid 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. 1 gal. $ 22.00 C. 'ROYAL PURPLE' - This smoke bush is the standard cultivar available through the nursery industry. The oval, deep purple leaves cover the plant and can make an impressive background shrub for a shrub or perennial border. The fall color will be deep red, purple and pink. The flowers are large puffs of fertile florets during summer, making smoke above the foliage. 1 gal. $ 20.00 C. 'YOUNG LADY' ® - This green leafed C. coggygria has many large clusters of flowers (smoke) even on 6 inch plants. Discovered by Hendrick Kolster of Boskoop, Holland. The green leaves have orange-red fall color. The plant probably will not get over $ 24.00 8-10 feet because of the heavy flower production. Limited 1 gal. $ 24.00 C. OBOVATUS - is our eastern native smoke bush. We were at Jane Platt's Portland garden many years ago to see her 20' tree with stunning pink fall color. The oval foliage is 8"- 10" long and 2" wide and will have a pinkish blush in spring, light green summer color and the unusual pink fall color. C. obovatus is the larger parent of the superb C. 'Grace.' 1 gal. $ 26.00
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 CRINODENDRON HOOKERANIUM - Strawberries in midsummer on as evergreen shrub. Well at least that is what it looks like. C. hookeranium is from southern Chile and will make a 20' broad evergreen shrub with narrow deep green leaves. In July, the strawberry shaped flowers cover the plant. This superb plant can be grown from the central California coast to British Columbia. Please don't try east of the Cascades. If it gets into a box and finds itself going east, it will immediately collapse! 1 gal. $ 22.00 CRATAEGUS MONOGYNA INERMIS 'COMPACTA' - A dwarf hawthorn which is very compact and full. Our 20+ year old is 10 feet tall and 18 inches across. Very dark foliage, but so far no flowers or fruit. 1 gal. $ 25.00 CROCOSMIA - C. 'GEORGE DAVIDSON' - An old cultivar from England with mid yellow flowers in August. 1 gal. $ 12.00 C. 'LADY HAMILTON' - Has a dark green leaf with a purple red flush on the lower portion. The flowers are darker gold with tiny maroon spots at the base of lower petals. Found in 1907 at Powis Castle, Wales. 1 gal. $ 12.00 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. $ 16.00 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. 1 gal. $ 16.00 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. 2 gal. $ 35.00 CUPRESSUS C. 'GREENSTEAD MAGNIFICANT' - This cupressus has a lovely gray-blue -green foliage on a low growing plant. Our biggest plant has grown 12" tall and 18" wide after 5-6 years. The arching habit makes for a handsome container plant. 1 gal. $ 15.00 C. SEMPERVIRENS 'GLAUCA' - The Italian Cypress can get to 40' tall and 6' wide in several lifetimes. This classic Mediterranean plant has deep green foliage and is the perfect large evergreen to draw anyone's attention to your garden. Plants in the Eugene, Or. area have withstood -12°F 2 gal. $ 24.00 9 C. SEMPERVIRENS 'TOTEM POLE' -is essentially a small version of the full sized species. This plant will get 8'-10' in time and would work well for the smaller garden. 1 gal. $ 20.00 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. 1 gal. $ 24.00 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. 1 gal. $ 22.00 D. 'ETERNAL FRAGRANCE' (D. caucasica x D. collina) According to Robin White this plant is probably the same cross as D.'Jim's Pride.' The plant will flower in April and May with white flowers with some pink color on the perianth tube. Our plants bloom sporadically after that through summer and into fall. The plant will grow to 2' and make a great plant in sun and good drainage. 1 gal. $ 15.00 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. Although amazingly rare, we have a good supply this year.. 2 gal. $ 45.00 D. 'JIM'S PRIDE' (formerly caucasica) - This is one of our favorite daphnes because of its overwhelming bloom season. The fragrant flowers first open in April and finish most years in late October. I can't think of any plant that will bloom that long. The white flowers are fairly small but cover the plant and makes a great display. Named for the late Jim Cross of Environmental's <strong>Nursery</strong>, Long Island, NY. 1 gal. $ 22.00 D. LONGILOBATA is a 4'-5' daphne with whitishgreen flowers through the spring and summer. For us, the large red fruit are much showier than the flowers. Rarely available and probably slightly tender, but worth growing for the fruit. 1 gal. $ 28.00 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. 1 gal. $ 14.00 D.. ODORA 'ALBA' - Similar to D. odora 'Aureomarginata' but doesn't have the yellow margin on the leaves. Flowers are snow white and just as fragrant as the species. 1 gal. $ 38.00 D. ODORA 'AUREOMARGINATA' - To most people the best fragrance of any shrub. The small purple and white flowers appear in February - April and the scent can be noticed 20 feet away. Makes an evergreen shrub with golden margins on the foliage. Can be kept in a large container. 1 gal. $ 18.00
