P. 'TOM THUMB' - One of the smaller phormiums that has greenish purple foliage. The foliage can be some what contorted which makes a more interesting plant. 1 gal. $ 15.00 P. 'YELLOW WAVE' - Has arching yellow and green striped leaves. Our biggest plants have been 2' tall and 2-3' across after several years. 1 gal. $ 18.00 PHYSOCARPUS P. 'CENTER GLOW' - A pretty ninebark that is deep purple foliaged plant with a rich golden glow in the middle of the leaf. This fast growing shrub to 8' will show well behind perennials or other shrubs in the border. 1 gal. $ 15.00 P. 'COPPERTINA' - (P.O. Mindia PPAF) A hybrid between P. 'Darts Gold' and P. 'Diablo'. The French hybrid has purple foliage with copper highlights especially in spring. We could imagine this plant as a background for perennials or other plants in the garden. 1 gal. $ 15.00 P. 'SUMMER WINE' - P. 'SEWARD' PPAF - This purple (more purple-bronze) foliaged nine bark has leaves more divided than P. 'Diablo'. This plant is much smaller (3') than P. 'Diablo', so can grow in even small perennial or shrub borders. Flowers are pinkish white in early summer. 1 gal. $ 15.00 PICEA GLAUCA 'GNOME' is a very small Alberta spruce. We have seen the species 16'-18' tall after many years. P.g. 'Gnome' is a slow grower to 2'-3' in 20 years. A perfect conifer for the rock garden or container. 1 gal. $ 14.00 PIERIS P. 'FLAMING SILVER' - It's interesting to see plants we have introduced to the U.S. gardening community become more widely available. We first grew P. 'Flaming Silver' in the early '80's and still enjoy its beautiful growth and foliage. The new growth is brilliant pink and later turns into rich variegated evergreen foliage. Very limited number of flowers. Our 25 year old plant is 2' tall. 1 gal. $ 16.00 P.'LITTLE HEATH' - This wonderful smallish shrub has small green foliage with a cream margin. We say smallish because we originally read it could get 2' tall. Our plant is more like 6'. Are we too kind to the plant? Our plant blooms only sporadically each spring! Makes an attractive sort of bonsai effect as it ages. 1 gal. $ 16.00 PINUS 'CHIEF JOSEPH'- Can't be sent to CA, FL, HI. During summer this amazing pine is dark green and in late October- November suddenly (1 week) will change to a lovely golden yellow. During winter P. 'Chief Joseph' will be a beacon of golden color. In spring our eastern Oregon native will turn back to green. Very rarely offered but P. 'Chief Joseph' is worth the expense. 1 gal. $ 80.00 PODOPHYLLUM - P. DELAVAYI - This Chinese mayapple is a clump former with deep green foliage and deep purple blotches. This woodlander has beautiful foliage and pinkish-red flowers followed by small apricot colored fruit. Can grow well with ferns and epimediums. 1 gal. $ 20.00 24 P. PLEIANTHUM has wonderous huge leaves (over 12") that look like umbrellas. This perennial has wierd purple flowers under the leaves in late spring. In late summer the fruit will turn apricot color and be the size of a small apricot. This superb plant is great to grow with ferns and other woodlanders. 1 gal. $ 20.00 PONCIRUS TRIFOLIATA 'FLYING DRAGON' - The hardy citrus is a wickedly thorned plant the thorns are 2" long and are unusual all year. P. trifoliata 'Flying Dragon' is contorted all over- leaves, thorns and stems. We have seen 5'- 6' irregular shrubs and they are always show stoppers. P. trifoliata 'Flying Dragon' is hardy to -20F so will be interesting from New York to California. 2 gal. $ 25.00 POPULUS 'RICHARDII - This golden poplar is a small growing shrubby tree. The leaves are bright gold even in full sun and are silver beneath the leaf so when the leaves twist in the breeze they glow silver and gold. 5 gal. $ 35.00 PRUNUS P. INCISA 'KOJO-NO-MAI' is a 3'-4' shrub with pink bell shaped flowers by the thousands. The small plant has a zig-zag form to the branches. Will make a good container bonsai or garden specimen with the spring flowers and orange fall color. 1 gal. $ 12.00 P. LUSITANICA 'VARIEGATA' - We have had this variegated laurel for many years, but for whatever reason we always forget to take cuttings. P. lusitanica 'Variegata' has deep green evergreen leaves with a narrow margin of white and pink. 1 gal. $ 12.00 PULMONARIA 'BENEDICTION'. Named for Seattle gardener Loie Benedict, this lungwort has dark green leaves almost year round. The flowers are among some of the deepest richest blue of any pulmonaria. The flowers and foliage are quite distinctive and once you grow P. 'Benediction' you won't want to be without it. 1 gal. $ 10.00 QUERCUS Q. DENTATA 'C.F. MILLER' - This Korean or Chinese native has a super oak leaf. When you think of an oak leaf Q. 'C.F. Miller' totally fits with it's rounded lobes. The deep green leaves turn to beautiful russet in fall. Many years the leaves will hang on and in this case that is a bonus. 1 gal. $ 50.00 5 gal. $ 78.00 Q. DENTATA 'PINNIDIFIDA' - This Japanese or Chinese native large shrub or small tree has the most amazingly different leaves. The oak leaves don't look like any oak we have ever seen. The leaves are 10" long and are lobed to the midrib. The first time we saw Q. d. 'Pinnitifida' we thought phillodendron, not oak. Just this summer we have seen plants in several gardens in the Northwest. 1 gal. $ 50.00 RHAMNUS ASPLENIFOLIA 'FINE LINE' - (R. frangula 'Ron Williams' PPAF) This plant is probably the hardiest plant we grow (to minus 35° - 40° F.) The very thin leaves are at most 1/4" wide and 4" long. The dark green foliage turns yellow in fall. This columnar plant can be a great deciduous accent for the garden or container. 1 gal. $ 28.00
