Info

D. ODORA 'MAE JIMA'. A Japanese selection of this standard of northwest landscapes. D. o. 'Mae Jima' has the same coloring and margins of D. o. 'Aureomarginata', but the margins are drastically wider. This daphne will bloom as much as D. o. 'Aureomarginata,' but will be much more striking year round. We haven't seen this daphne listed before so get this new plant for your garden. 2 gal. $ 35.00 D. ODORA 'ZUIKO NISHIKI ' - The deep pink flower buds open to pure white inside the flowers. We have read that D. 'Zuiko Nishiki' is hardier than other forms of D. odora. Any clones of D. odora have an unbelievable scent to the flowers. 2 gal. $ 28.00 D. RETUSA - This shrub is a very rigid, little gnome of a plant. The fat short stems grow slowly into an 18" rounded shrublet. The flowers are sweetly scented and are purple outside and white inside. Needs good drainage and plenty of light. Since D. retusa is slow growing the plants for sale are small. 1 gal. $ 20.00 D. ROSETTII - (D. cneorum X D laureola, subsp. philippi). Found in 1927, this natural hybrid comes from Pyrenees. The reddish flowers are rarely produced but the rounded dwarf form makes D. rosettii worth growing. LIMITED 1 gal. $ 20.00 D. TANGUTICA is a 2' X 3' irregular shrub with deep green leaves. The small clusters of purple flowers cover the plant in April-May. The fragrance is different than other daphnes but is still wonderful. 1 gal. $ 12.00 D. 'WILHELM SCHACHT' (D. petraca x D. collina) - This fine small grower has tiny deep green foliage. The flowers are brilliant pink-purple and have a big burst of bloom in April-May and a few flowers during the rest of spring. When grown if full sun and good drainage, this plant is a real show stopper. 2 gal. $ 28.00 DAVIDIA D. INVOLUCRATA 'COLUMNARIUS'. This dove tree is a rather narrow grower. The foliage is typical dove tree, but the plant stays very columnar. We don't know how soon these plants will take to bloom but being grafted they will usually bloom at a younger age than seed grown plants. 2 gal. $ 60.00 D. INVOLUCRATA 'SONOMA' - This flowering dove tree came from Sonoma Horticultural Nursery. The original tree had exceptional bracts and luckily the owners got it out into the nursery business. Bracts are 8-10" long and the grafted plants will bloom at 18 inches tall. Any of the plants we are selling can bloom next May. Because of the grafting and scarcity these plants are limited and high priced 1 gal. $ 75.00 D. 'LADY SUNSHINE' - Talk about a show stopper! People see this plant and literally have their breath taken away. The foliage is the typical jagged edge of Davidia involucrata, but the margins have very broad golden yellow margins on them. We first saw this plant 4 years ago and were impressed and of course wanted the plant. Davidia 'Lady Sunshine' needs filtered or afternoon shade. WOW ! 2 gal. $150.00 DECAISNEA FARGESII - is a weird plant that comes from China. The stems grow sparingly upright to 12'-14' and will have 18" pinnate leaves. The flowers are strange and 10 Decaisnea fargesii cont. somewhat hooded green in June. By late summer the green fruit expand to 3" fat bean pods. By late September the fruit will turn metallic blue and taste like a kiwi but are 95% seed and skin. 1 gal. $ 20.00 DESFONTAINEA SPINOSA has holly leaves that everyone asks, "What holly is that?" In the mid summer orange-red flowers with yellow flares appear among the leaves. This plant makes an interesting shrub for the container or in the garden in warmer areas (California, Oregon coast). 1 gal. $ 22.00 DEUTZIA D. 'CHARDONNAY PEARLS' - (D. gracilis 'Duncan' PPAF). This new Canadian import has bright lime yellow foliage all spring and summer. This 3-4' shrub will have pure white flowers which show up well against the greenish yellow foliage. 1 gal. $ 16.00 D. 'CORYMBOSA' - Has pinkish buds and white flowers in May-June. This six foot plant is covered with these beautiful flowers. 1 gal. $ 16.00 D. 'ROSALIND' - This French hybrid has deep pink clusters of flowers in April- May. This 4' shrub is very adaptable as to soil and climate. The flowers literally cover the plant in spring. 1 gal. $ 16.00 DICHORA FIBRIFUGA - This hydrangea relative has small bright blue flowers in mid summer. The flowers don't have sterile florets like hydrangeas. The flowers are followed by shiny blue fruit in the fall. We have two forms available: UBC (University of British Columbia) form is low growing with brilliant blue fruit. 5 gal. $ 40.00 Dichora versicolor has a broader leaf and much larger size than the UBC form. Both are lovely plants. 5 gal. $ 40.00 DIERAMA PULCHERRIMUM- The flowers are on nodding stems that can be white, pink, deep purple. The "Angels' Fishing Rod" has grassy foliage to 2' and 5-6' arching flower stems in mid summer. 3" pot $ 5.00 DISANTHUS CERCIDIFOLIUS - This is a superb 12'-15' shrub grown for its stunning purple, red, and orange fall color. The heavily veined foliage is very dark green and leathery during summer and in late August starts turning purple and all through the fall just keeps getting better. Disanthus cercidifolius is a member of the hamamelis family and has very small, deep maroon flowers in fall. Has been hardy to at least -20° F. in Illinois. See Michael Dirr's "Manual of Woody Landscape Plants". Disanthus is one of his favorites. 1 gal. $ 22.00 DISPORUM 'NIGHT HERON'. Will get 5-6' tall and has deep purple new growth in spring. The flowers are small white bells in mid spring. D. 'Night Heron' is a good companion plant in the woodland garden with ferns and hostas. In fall, the foliage will turn a soft peachy yellow before going beneath the soil for winter. 1 gal. $ 14.00 DISTYLIUM D. MYRICOIDES - is an evergreen witchazel with deep green narrow leaves. The 3'-4' tall plant makes an arching shrub that will bloom with red puffs of flowers in early spring. Can be kept pruned to18" and will make an attractive shrub for the woodland garden. 1 gal. $ 20.00
DRIMYS D. LANCEOLATA - This Chilean native has small lanceshaped dark evergreen leaves. The dark foliage is highlighted by the purple-red stems. Plants we've seen are only 6-8' tall, but may get bigger. We grow as a handsome container plant. Plants in Eugene have survived in the ground for many years in more protected areas than in our garden. Flowers are small and white but make a nice show on the plant. 2 gal. $ 25.00 D. LANCEOLATA 'SUZETTE' is just like D. lanceolata with its deep green leaves, dark purple stems, and white flowers. The only difference is that the dark green leaves are splashed with cream and pink year round D. lancelata 'Suzette' will make a pretty and interesting tub specimen. 1 gal $20.00 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 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. papyrifera seems to need some shelter from evergreens, a wall or a house to give just slightly more protection from the winds. 1 gal. $ 27.00 E. PAPYRIFERA 'RED DRAGON' - Very limited, this plant is always in demand but is so tricky to propagate, so very few nurseries will make the effort. The red (tomato soup) flowers appear in clusters just like the yellow flowering E. papyrifera in early spring. We have found E. p. 'Red Dragon' is more tender than E. papyrifera. We grow our 4'x4' plant in morning sun in a protected place next to Eric and Dawn's house. Only 1 per customer. 1 gal. $ 45.00 ELEAGNUS E. 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. $ 16.00 E. PUNGENS 'GILT EDGE' - The broad golden margins on this evergreen shrub will make a fabulous display all year round. The plant will grow in full sun to semi shade. Once established for a couple of years, this plant needs very little water. 1 gal. $ 18.00 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. $ 30.00 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. 2 gal. $ 22.00 11 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. $ 22.00 2 gal. $ 30.00 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 flowers better than many of the larger hybrids. The fall foliage color is brilliant red on an 8-10' shrub. 1 gal. $ 22.00 E. CAMPANULATUS 'SIKOKIANUS' - The largest growing of the E. campanulatus cultivars we grow. This upright grower grows fast and has large deep green leaves that turn deep maroon-red and have pink markings on them. 1 gal. $ 22.00 E. 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. 2 gal. $ 28.00 E. PERRULATUS - This is the true species from Japan, not the inferior plant sold most of the time. Our 40 year old plant is 4'x4' and is full to the ground with small deep green leaves all summer. In fall, the plant is afire with its red leaves. The flowers are small pink-white urns in May. The flowers are different than any other enkianthus so its hard to believe some nurseries get confused! 1 gal. $ 30.00 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. $ 14.00 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. $ 14.00 E. 'O'KUDA'S WHITE' - A low growing epimedium that has large white spurred flowers in early spring. For us this is the best of the white flowering epimediums. A great plant to grow with omphaloides and other small woodland charmers. 1 gal. $ 18.00 E. RUBRUM - This 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, and we have finally divided our plants so we can make it available. 1 gal. $ 15.00 E. YOUNGIANUM 'NIVEUM' - This low growing epimedium has copius amount of white flowers in the spring. E.y 'Niveum' will slowly make a lacy ground cover for small areas. 1 gal. $ 15.00 Phone 541-746-3922 Fax 541-744-7924
