A spiny high altitude xeric terrestrial Bromeliad from the deserts of Argentina, this makes a
perfect rock hard hemispherical spine tipped dome, the cushion looks like a strange mutant
Draba. When Baldassare Mineo visited he took one plant back on the plane with him, this was
it.

ACAENA INERMIS PURPUREA ................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

A neat little purple leafed mat former from New Zealand, inermis is very similar to A. microphylla
but the ornamental fruits normally lack spines. Very attractive, it.s hardy and nearly
indestructible here.

ACANTHOLIMON

We have amassed what we think is the finest collection of these spiny
cushions ever offered anywhere, cutting grown from clones in our private
stash, these things are a pain to root, literally, Punnett.s fingers will never be
the same, (after our Gloved Employee from Hell incident a couple of years
ago no one wants to be seen in gloves).

ACANTHOLIMON AFF. VENUSTUM ........................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

Large very blue rosettes tipped with wicked spines. We keep a large one in the front of one of
our display troughs to zap unwary feeley touchy plant perverts. ("See me, Feeel Mee, Touch
me," Help I'm turning into a Pinball wizard). I wish they would fondle them in the privacy of their
own home.

ACANTHOLIMON CARYOPHYLLACEUM ............................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

These date back to a 1997 collection, it.s quite spiny with medium sized rosettes and pink
flowers; we finally managed to root enough to offer it once more.

ACANTHOLIMON CARY. SSP. CARYOPHYLLACEUM ...................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Another Euroseed introduction with silvery sleeping porcupine cushions and bright pink flowers
collected on stony hills at 1,400m near Yozgat, Turkey.

ACANTHOLIMON HOHENACKERI 049 .................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

One of the most attractive species, this forms large spiny cushions of blue gray rosettes, grown

growable .

ACANTHOLIMON TROJANUM 07 ........................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

A very rare densely pulvinate plant similar to ulicinum, but more glaucous and much more
compact, Pavelka found em at 1,600m near Kaz Dagh, Turkey. Nearly 100% effective, there is
little chance of even getting laid if you wear one of these.

ACANTHOLIMON ULICINUM SSP. PURPURESCENS ........................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

Holubec.s 1997 collection from Dedegöl Dag on limestone screes at 2400m, small to medium

plantings, it cuts well and can be dried.


ACHILLEA PYRENAICA .............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

A white flowered species native to the pyrenees and quite similar to achillea ptarmica but
perhaps a bit larger flowered, it is easy and long blooming.

ACHILLEA SIBERICA KAMTSCHATICA ................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Toothed leathery deep green leaves topped by flat heads of rose pink flowers this is one of the
nicer Achillea species and quite different from the millifolium types.

white flowers on short stems, Mojmir collected it from the gypsum hills near Gurun at 1700m.

ACHILLEA SP. EX UTAH ............................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Punnett, who is not a big Achillea fan but does like new trough plants, loves this cute tiny
species, which came to us from John Hargrove at H & H Botanicals.

ACHILLEA X LEWISII 'KING EDWARD' .................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

'King Edward. is a charming little hybrid, the parentage is most likely A. clavenae x A. nana x A.
tomentosa; it forms small mats of gray foliage topped by flat corymbs of pale yellow flowers that
age to cream, atop 15-20cm stems.

ACONITUM

Indispensable for their late summer and fall blooms, Aconites, like so many of
their cousins in the Ranunculaceae tend to be long lived in the garden. I
suspect they would be much more popular if seed were a bit easier to
germinate. I particularly like them in combination with Tricyrtis and Japanese
Anemones, underplanted with a few fall Gentians, Cyclamens and
Colchicums. Its time to break the mum addiction, just say no and leave them
at the grocery store.

ACONITUM CHARMICHAELII (WILSONII) SPATLASE ...................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Perhaps the finest of the Aconites, this imposing species is always in demand; the soaring
spires of hooded blue flowers tower over the Tricyrtis and Cyclamen mocking the pathetic
attempts of Mums trying in vain capture your eye.

ACONITUM LYCOCTONUM SSP VULPARIA ........................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

For those with serious Werewolf problems, here is a backup wolfsbane, just in case, actually
from the name it would seem to be better against Werefoxes and lesser Wolfweres.
ACONITUM NAPELLUS NEWRY BLUE ................................................ PRICE 1@ $12.00

Blooming in late summer this is one of the showiest aconites and a standby for summer color.

ACONITUM SEPTENTRIONALE IVORINE .............................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

The real thing vegetatively propagated from our stock, septentrionale is now considered
conspecific with A. lycoctonum ssp. lycoctonum, whatever the name it is an elegant plant;
potentially effective against albino werewolves.

ACORUS CALAMUS „VARIEGATUS. ..................................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

A strongly variegated form of our native species celebrated in poem (Whitman didn't tell you it
was a dangerous hallucinogen) strange spathe and spadix flowers.

ACORUS CHRISTOFFII ............................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

As far as I know there are only two species of Acorus, with no mention of christoffii, perhaps it is
a quantum Acorus, that both exists and doesn.t exist depending on how you look at it. I.m still
working on designing a two slit Sweet Flag detector, and no I have not been chewing on the
leaves.

ACORUS GRAMINEUS DWARF 'HIMENASUMENE' ............................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

An exceptional fine textured plant with narrow leaves edged in creamy yellow that fade to white
later in the season. We got this from Heronswood years ago however it has long since departed
from their catalog, indeed it did not even leave a trace in Google. It is depressing that so many
great plants are not maintained in cultivation, someone should start a propagation repository for
plants no longer in the nursery trade, this would be a great mission for a private or public
botanic garden.

ACORUS GRAMINEUS „LICORICE. .......................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Solid green leaves, rather thick and heavy for gramineus, with a strong scent of licorice.

ACORUS GRAMINEUS MINIMUS AUREUS ........................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Minimus aureus is like a dwarf form of Ogen, small enough to use in a trough or as a companion
plant for bonsai, it has a lot of cute appeal.

ACORUS GRAMINEUS „OGON. ................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

The golden Japanese counterpart, much smaller and more delicate; wet sites.

ACORUS GRAMINEUS 'PUSSILLIUS' ..................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Tiny and cute this is great in a trough or miniature landscape, or even in drifts as a grass
substitute that never needs mowing.

ACORUS GRAMINEUS „VARIEGATUS. .................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Similar to the above, white striped leaves; many Acorus contain beta-asarone, which is also
found in Sassafras and Asarums and is mildly hallucinogenic as well as carcinogenic.

ACTEA NIGRA (SPICATA) ( ASIATICA) .................................................. PRICE - $19.00

Native from Europe to western Asia, this is the black-fruited form from China Japan and Korea,
the taxonomy is a mess even without the Cimicifuga complications, but nigra is highly desirable
under any name.

ACTAEA RUBRA ............................................................................................ PRICE - $19.00

Commonly known as Red Baneberry it is part of a circompolar complex of species and is
morphologically similar to the European Actea spicata which has black berries not red. To
complicate things further there is a white fruited form Actea rubra neglecta. Whatever the name
it is a wonderful woodlander, it is however a bit more finiky for us than Actea pachypoda

ADENOPHORA TAKEDAE HOWOZANA ................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

A dwarf species from Japan howozana is the alpine form usually less than 15cm high, and
considered among the best in the genus along with tashiroi.

One of the best species, reliably hardy with rather large pink flowers above neat little bonsai
looking foliage.

AETHIONEMA MEMBRANACEUM ........................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Pavelka collected this from the stony slopes of the Sakaltutan pass in Turkey at 2,000m;
shrublets with many tangled glaucous leaved stems topped with small rose flowers.

AETHIONEMA OPPOSITIFOLIA: .................................................... SEE EUNOMIA

AGAPANTHUS TINKERBELLE VARIEGATED ....................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Derived from the Greek agape (not to be confused with Harlan Ellison.s Eros Tinkerbelle, which
got him fired from Disney). This dwarf form may still turn you on, its only a few inches tall with
fantastic strongly variegated foliage, however it is shy flowering and slow to reach sexual
maturity; reputedly it blooms best when pot bound and well fertilized, (Tinkerbelle gets it on
when she.s in bondage).

AGAPANTHUS SP. WHITE ......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A white form we raised from seed years ago, its tough but nothing like the above.

AGAPANTHUS 'HARDY' EX H & H GARDEN ........................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

From a form that has survived for years in an exposed sight in Johns display garden, we had
commented on its exceptional hardiness several times and several years ago he brought us a
batch. John stopped out the other day and it sounds like he may be getting back in the plant
business, we certainly hope so.

AGASTACHE 'BIG BAZOOKA' ................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Do the demonic rodents in your garden seem invulnerable, is it true that no weapon ever forged
can harm them, Na, you just need a „Big Bazooka', it will blow them away (check out Buffy
reruns for operating instructions).

AGASTACHE CANA ..................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Sweetly scented rose purple flowers and foliage, cana is a good showy late summer perennial
that the hummers are quite fond of.

A customer brought us this cross, nice looking with pleasing aromatic foliage in flowers
intermediate between the two parents.

AGASTACHE FOENICULUM ...................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

2-foot mounds of anise scented foliage topped by short spikes of blue Hyssop-like flowers, it is
easy to please and blooms for a good chunk of the summer making it great for general
landscape use.

AGASTACHE FOENICULUM „GOLDEN JUBILEE. ................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Gold leafed version of the above.

AJUGA REPTANS 'BURGUNDY GLOW' ................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Ajuga, other than chamaepitys and ovalifolia, suffer from a lack of snob appeal. Don.t be put off
they have considerable merits not the least of which is they are unkillable, weed strangling and
have rather pretty foliage; here the leaves are wine and the flowers blue.

AJUGA 'CHOCOLATE CHIP' ...................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Very showy spikes of violet blue flowers above mats of chocolate foliage.

AJUGA PYRAMIDALIS 'METALICA CRISPA' ........................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

A personal favorite the cushions of twisted and crinkled metallic bronze foliage are definitely
different, like heaping mounds of fresh raccoon poo glistening in the morning light.

AJUGA 'SILVER QUEEN' ............................................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

Attractive mats of green and white variegated foliage.

AJUGA REPTANS „PLANET ZORK. ............................................................. Price 1@ $8.00

This is the weirdest damn thing; we got it from Yinger a few years back. If nothing else, it
evokes strong feelings, either you hate it and think it belongs on the compost heap or just think
it is cool as hell.

ALCEA CALWERTII V ALBIFLORA #816 .................................................. Price 1@ $8.00

A rare Alcea from a central Asian Jurasek collection, white flowered and not in cultivation prior
to this listing.

ALCHEMILLA ERYTHROPODA .................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

A bit reminiscent of A. alpina of the 300 or so species this gem from the Carpathians ranks as
one of the best. The foliage is very neat and the display of yellow flowers is among the best.

ALCHEMILLA MOLLIS THRILLER ............................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Actually less of a Lady.s Mantle than a Small Children.s Mantle, luring them with theme parks
and Jesus juice. This pale version is all in all just about the creepiest thing I can think of (Oh and
did I mention that the music sucks and the nose is in danger of falling off.)

ALOINOPSIS SCHOONESSII ...................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

One of the stone plants, the mimicry is not as good as with lithops but they are still cool looking
more like some dead fleshy reptilian toe than a rock.

ALONINOPSIS SPATHULATA ................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

One of the best of the many mesembs that have been making the rounds thanks to all the South
African collecting expeditions, tight cushions of fleshy leaves and large pink daisies on short
stems, very slow from cuttings.

ALSTROMERIA HYBRID VARIEGATED ................................................ PRICE 1@ $12.00

A nice variegated form, I think Jaques or dick may have given it to us originally in any event it is
nicely variegated with typical multicolored alstromeria flowers and excellent hardiness.

ALSTROMERIA SP. 1279X ....................................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Multicolored flowers often seen as cut flowers, they will make it outside as far north as here

ALYSSOIDES UTRICULATA ....................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A neat little yellow crucifer with fairly large butter yellow flowers and cool looking transparent
seed stalks that persist and are lovely in flower arrangements. We had this many years ago and
it self seeded for many years, and was never a nusience.

ALYSSUM MARKGRAFII ............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

From cultivated material ex Albania, this is an upright species with fine gray leaves and yellow
flowers producing an extended show.

ALYSSUM OSCHTENICUM ......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A rare endemic collected by Pavelka from limestone screes in the Western Caucasus at 2400m,
the small gray 5-15cm stems creep or flop to form delightful mats tipped with compact heads of
yellow flowers.

ALYSSUM OVIRENSE .................................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

A mat former from the southeastern Alps and western Yugoslavia, yellow flowers on 12cm
stems.

ALYSSUM SAXITILE .................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Also known as Aurinia saxitile this is the well known Basket of Gold, very free flowering and
extremely easy. It is still well worth growing and is great with subulata Phloxes and cushion
Dianthus

ALYSSUM SAXITILE 'DUDLEY NEVILLE VARIEGATED' .................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

Aurinia saxitile if you prefer (personally I hate that name and my muse informs me I have
taxonomic license -"Fornit some Fornus" or something like that, apologies to Steven King). In
any event, it is the best of the Basket of Gold types with nicely variegated gray fuzzy leaves and
flowers that are yellowish with a hint of apricot.


ALYSSUM SAXITILE PLENUM ................................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

The double flowered form, like all the Basket of Gold types it's lovely in the garden but looks like
a scraggly mess in pots; remember to shear them back after planting to tighten them up, in the
garden they stay neat.

AMSONIA JONESII ....................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Jonesii! I see you marking an X by it already, with that name how bad can it be. It gets better,
mature plants bear 50-100 three foot stems of lanceolate leaves topped with heads of long
tubed pale blue flowers. An Alplains collection from Mohave co. Arizona at 1,509m.

ANACAMPSEROS RUFFESCENS ............................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Succulent reddish rosettes like a sempervivum with P.M.S., nearly 2" pink flowers.

ANACYCLUS DEPRESSUS SILBERKISSEN ......................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

A selected strain of Mount Atlas Daisy this Moroccan wonder is very compact and floriferous
and fully hardy here.

ANCHUSA CAESPITOSA .......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

One of those legendary plants that you always see in pictures but seldom see offered for sale.
Indeed we had searched for several years in vain until Jim Briggs showed up a couple years
ago with a plant (thanks to Carl Gehenio for keeping it in cultivation). This rare little Borage
forms tufts of bristly grayish green linear leaves. Native to Crete it is generally hardy but rather
wet sensitive, however if well grown it will reward you by covering itself with insanely blue
Eritrichium flowers. It has nearly disappeared from cultivation in recent years and we will do our
best to see that our limited stock goes first and foremost to gardeners with the propagation skills
needed to maintain it in cultivation. It must be frequently rooted from cuttings or you will lose it to
complacency. Let us know if you think you are worthy and will promise to propagate it.

ANCHUSA OFFICIANALIS ......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

A tall short-lived perennial with the typical showy borage flowers, it certainly is not the gem of
the genus (See A. caespitosa above) but officianalis is easy and quite showy.

ANDROSACE BARBULATA ......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

A classic plant in the villosa section. Barbulata is an attractive and relatively easy plant collected
by Vojtec Holubec from limestone crevices in the Western Caucasus at 1,900m, its umbels of
pinkish white flowers are produced on short stems above low loose mats of furry rosettes similar
to villosa but larger.

ANDROSACE LANUGINOSA ..................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Silvery rosettes of leaves radiate outwards at the tips of stolons, lovely pink flowers in small
heads are freely produced. This is one of the best of the growable Androsace species, a
Himalayan Primula it dislikes being too sunbaked, at home in a trough or in the open garden
and beautiful trailing over the edge of a rock; this is a particularly fine clone we selected from
some Alplains seedlings.

ANDROSACE SARMENTOSA (CHUMBYI) .............................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

Just to keep things interesting Punnett brought in cuttings from his favorite clone of sarmentosa,
its every bit as tight as Chumbyi, and may in fact be the same form. One of the best of the easy
Androsaces, this forms mats of fuzzy 2cm rosettes. In the form Chumbyi (which these are
indistinguishable from) they are on very short stolons producing a huddled domed fur-ball
cushion. In the spring, umbels of yellow-eyed pink flowers are produced on stems above the
cushion.

ANEMONE ALTAICA .................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Growing in woodland fringes in the Altai it is similar to nemorosa and may indeed be a
subspecies of it, white flowers with 8-12 petals veined blue on the interior.

ANEMONE HORTENSIS .............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

Tuberous rooted; 1-2" pinkish mauve flowers, also known as A. stellata it is similar to pavonia.
Do not believe the RHS bulb book, this is hardy here and they call it zone 8 what a joke.

ANEMONE MULTIFIDA V. TETONENSIS Ratko 97-16 .......................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Ron.s collections from Clay Butte at 10,100. these are similar to drummondii but with broader
hairier leaflets, flowers here are cream with a bluish reverse and usually solitary atop 6” stems.

ANEMONE NEMOROSA .............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

Forming colonies of spreading underground branching rhizomes this wonderful European
species is always a welcome addition; 2-4cm flowers in colors that range from white to pink and
purple sit solitary atop 5-15cm stems. The effect is enhanced because the flowers generally all
face the same direction. These are mixed seedlings but there are myriads of named forms and
Brigitta is quietly collecting them all, one of these years she will start to part with them.

ANEMONE NEMOROSA 'BRACTEATA PLENIFLORA' ........................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

By far my favorite nemorosa, this thing is bizarre, the true flowers are surrounded by a ring of
green and white bracts, it is difficult to describe and no two are exactly the same, it is one of
those plants that you cannot walk past with a camera without taking dozens of shots. It is also
wonderful as a winter bloomer in a conservatory, (blooming a bit after the Ranunculus ficaria
clones) although it is perfectly hardy in the garden as well.

ANEMONE NEMOROSA 'LEEDS VARIETY' ........................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

A robust grower with large white flowers it will form rather large mats if happy, and looks great
creeping around under shrubs or in a lightly shaded woodland garden.

ANEMONE NEMOROSA 'WYATT'S PINK' .............................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

'Wyatt's pale pink is more like it is attractive enough but don.t be expecting deep pink, and it is
an excellent grower multiplying rather quickly.

ANEMONE SYLVESTRIS 'MADONNA' .................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

What does this have in common with Madonna, well they both have big ones, but the plant has
more class. It.s not prone to adoption publicity stunts and never tries to convert foreigners to it.s
odd religion. Don.t be put off by the name this is a great Anemone with myriads of huge white
flowers in spring.

ANEMONE X SEEMANII (NEMOROSA X RANUNCULOIDES) .......... PRICE 1@ $8.00

A naturally occurring hybrid also known as Anemone x lipsiensis flowers are typically large and
pale creamy yellow. It is one of the best small Anemones.

JAPANESE ANEMONE

We list the following cultivars, all have vigorous branching wiry stems and
slightly cup shaped flowers over deeply divided dark green leaves, stunning
fall display of blooms, they prefer light shade and a little protection.

'ANDREA ATKINSON' 35” single pure white with orange stamens .............. PRICE 1@ $8.00

'CRISPA' ........................................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $12.00

An odd plant with crinkled ruffled leaves often edged in red with single pink flowers on 20” stems
in late summer

A charming little eastern American woodlander, with delicate columbine like foliage and demure
little anemone flowers in white or pink.

ANEMONELLA THALICTROIDES DOUBLE PINK ('CAMEO') .......... PRICE 1@ $15.00

We got these years ago from the late Betty Blake. As far as I can tell it is indistinguishable from
„Cameo., a fully double light pink, on the other hand, Betty found a number of clones and this
may be from one of her wild collections. In any event a lovely plant and for all who knew Betty a
little piece of her garden to treasure.

ANTENNARIA AROMATICA (PULVINATA) Ratko #97-21 .................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Ratko.s 1997 collection from the type locality, in the Beartooth near the Quad Creek
Headwaters at 9800. where it grows in dry alpine screes and gravelly flats; its extremely similar
to Antennaria alpina v. medea, differing primarily in the citronella scented foliage. Both these
plants are spectacular and very wet sensitive.

ANTENNARIA CARPATICA ........................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

A woody based tufted European species not restricted to the Carpathians. It.s previously been
known as A. helvetica or A. lanata and is one of the best European species.

ANTENNARIA MAGELLANICA .................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

A nice silvery pussy toe from the tip of South America, it forms dense attractive mats of silvery
leaves that are nice between paving stones.

ANTENNARIA NEGLECTA .......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A silvery furred beauty; it is a kinky Pussy Toe with whip like stolons. This may be gaspensis, at
the very least it will make you gasp, or possibly moan, with its purple based white tipped female
capitula, complete with crimson styles; lots of pleasure and little chance of cat scratch fever.

ANTENNARIA NEGLECTA GASPENSIS ................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

The real thing from the Gaspé Peninsula via Baldassare, its a prostrate dwarf - I.ll leave the rest
to your imagination.

ANTHEMIS CRETICA SSP. IBERICA ....................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Typical Anthemis cushions of dissected gray basal foliage, ssp iberica differs from the rest by
producing solitary yellow flowers on 5-15cm stems, Pavelka found it in the alpine meadows of
Zigana Dag at 2,300m.

ANTHEMIS MONTANA ................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

A cute little daisy with yellow discs surrounded with creamy light yellow ray flowers, it is a long
blooming perennial sometimes grown for its essential oils but strangely rather uncommon in
gardens.

ANTHEMIS TINCTORIA KELLWAY .......................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

An old standby for the perennial border Kellway blooms for months producing a continuing
succession of medium sized yellow daises.

ANTHERICUM BOETICUM ......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Very similar to liliago, the smallest of the European species reaching only 15cm, flowers white
with a maroon stripe; Spain and Portugal.

Dwarf woody bushlet from the Pyrenees, racemes of yellow & white snapdragons.

flowers rise 10-15cm above the grayish cushions of grassy foliage. Scarious, “thin, dry and
shriveled, consisting of more or less translucent tissue”, the name is suggestive of what to
expect if grown hard.

ARENARIA TETRAQUETRA GRANATENSIS „Ann Leggett Form. .............. 1@ $6.50

Marion Jarvie brought us this clone, which is about as tight as I have seen, approaching green
rock status.

*ARISAEMA AMURENSIS DRAKES FORM .......................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

and green flowers that may have purple or white striping selected by Drakes.

*ARISAEMA CANDIDISSIMUM ................................................... SMALL PRICE 1@ $15.00

A classic, these are from Mojmir, actually I think they came from his mother.s garden in
Czechoslovakia. This is the famous pink striped form that you see in all the books, not
necessarily the same as the new wild stuff coming out of China. Candidissimum is the last
Arisaema to come up in spring, mark it well, it is late not dead.

*ARISAEMA ERUBESCENS ............................................................. MED PRICE 1@ $19.00

A Sino-Himalayan species related to consanguineum supposedly with less pronounced drip
filaments on the leaves, although I am not sure this always hold true, our plants are tall with 9-
13 leaflets.

*ARISAEMA FARGESII ........................................ SMALL PRICE 1@ $19.00 LARGE $49.00

Also from Mojmir these are very interesting, sometimes producing a single leaf of Elephant Ear
proportions, others send up three leaflets. Much like candidissimum, and some are intermediate
with a large central leaflet and two smaller ones at the sides, flowers are brown striped like
elephas with a candidissimum spadix. Magnificent, they looked tender as hell to me but Mojmir
insists they are hardy for him, and it has been fantastic in Punnett.s garden; I'd still plant them
deep and near the house.

*ARISAEMA FLAVUM ................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $12.00

Himalayan species with deeply divided leaves and a bright yellow spathe and purple spadix,
these are easy and more or less hardy, small tubers going on third year (its naturally a small
species) but these should flower this year.

*ARISAEMA FLAVUM Hardy Ex Tony ....................................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

As above but hardier.

ARISARUM VULGARE EX FRANCE ......................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

A strange little aroid from a genus of only three species, best in the alpine house (it needs to be
kept warm and dry during its summer dormancy), with hooded brown spathes and a protruding
mouse tail. Definitely cool.

ARISARUM PROBOSCOIDEUM ................................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

An odd little Spanish Aroid, commonly known as mouse plant, because the protruding spadix
resembles the tail of a mouse. Like vulgare it is easy to grow, but needs some protection in the
North either heavy mulch or plant near a warm foundation. Both species will fill a pan
reasonably quickly and a pot with dozens in bloom is very impressive.

ARMERIA CAESPITOSA (JUNIPERIFOLIA) ALBA ............................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

The seldom offered white form of caespitosa. It is very compact.

ARMERIA CAESPITOSA .RED FAERY. .................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

other Armeria we grow.

especially in spring flowers are typical maritima.

ARMERIA „NIFTY THRIFTY. ....................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

overall lime green cast, however up close the variegation is quite evident.

A new compact clone nearly as tight as caespitosa but with a different look, the leaves are
broader with considerable red tingeing in winter.

ARRHENATHERUM ELATIUS SSP. BULBOSUM VARIEGATUM ................. 1@ $6.50

A cute little variegated grass; the rhizome has its internodes swollen to form a chain of
interconnected 1cm bulblets that are quite unusual for a grass.

ARTEMISIA GLACIALIS .............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Silvery cushions even more condensed than genipii, Farrer liked it (although he preferred
chewing on genipii, like coca it provides extra energy at high altitude, genipii must have been
good, he raved about it); glacialis is great in a dry sand bed.

ARTEMISIA SCHMIDIIANA 'SILVER MOUND' ...................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

I have seen fields with a half a million or so lined out in neat rows, on that scale, they are
spectacular and for groundcovers especially on dry sandy soil, silver mound is great and
obviously immensely popular with landscapers. I understand absinthe is legal once again in
France, feel free to plant a few silver mounds in celebration.

ARUM

Hey, they're cool (well, actually they are exothermic; the spathes heat up to
help attract flies which they trap till the pollen is ripe and then release), and
trendy, and very collectable, and besides that most of the flowers smell of
dead meat. If you have never grown them, we urge you to try a few. Many of
the species produce winter foliage, which looks great in the winter garden a
bit further South; here it is usually under the snow however I still admire them
as much for their foliage as for their spectacular flowers, not to mention the
fantastic clusters of red fruit. A woodland garden without arums is a sad
excuse for a woodland garden. What more can I say - you gotta have em all.

ARUM CONCINNATUM ............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $12.00

Rarely offered similar to italicum, green spathe, club shaped spadix, its native to Crete and the
Turkish Islands.

huge yellowish spathes, often rimed in light purple. Seed from Mike Tuckers plant, which posed
for the painting on plate 3 of Boyce.s monograph The Genus Arum.

ARUM CRETICUM ......................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

From a Libyan population, large spathes green outside and purplish rose inside with deep
purple spadices, best in an alpine house.


ARUM DIOSCORIDIS ................................................................................. PRICE 1@ $12.00

Dioscoridis is probably my favorite arum, flower color is variable usually greenish or purplish
with darker purple blotches and can be spectacular, see the photo in the AGS encyclopedia and
be careful not to drool on it if you were too cheap to buy it and borrowed a friends copy.

ARUM DIOSCORIDIS Arch 195.155 ........................................................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

From an Archibald collection you can look up the details if you wish, I.m not going to bother
(everyone will order it anyway).

ARUM DIOSCORIDIS V. DIOSCORIDIS AGS ....................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

This is the nominate subspecies from the AGS seedex. This and the above are seeded so
multiple clones are available; none have flowered yet so I haven't had a chance to skim the best
for myself. If you get a particularly outstanding form, be sure to torture me with a photo.

ARUM DIOSCORIDIS V. PHILISTEUM .................................................. PRICE 1@ $12.00

We got this as Arum dracunculus philisteum, I hate those corrupted names; philisteum is
distinguished by its uniform purple spathe.

ARUM DIOSCORIDIS V. SMITHII ........................................................... PRICE 1@ $24.00

Smithii is by far the showiest dioscoridis we have grown, incredible shaded and spotted
spathes, no two are alike and everyone that has flowered has been fantastic.

ARUM ITALICUM ALBISPATHUM ......................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Albispaathum was once considered a separate species, but now is lumped into italicum; it is
distinct in the garden with its pure white spathe.

Handsome foliage plant with arrowhead shaped leaves, greenish white spathe, and yellow
spadix, with very brilliant red berries in fall.

ARUM ITALICUM MARMORATUM (PICTUM) ....................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

As above; but the foliage is attractively marbled and streaked silvery white, leaves appear in late
summer and are still standing in spring when it flowers.

ARUM ITALICUM 'PEWTER LEAF' ......................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Our introduction with leaves heavily overlain with a metalic pattern the foliage is fantastic.

ARUM MACULATUM ................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

in late fall, spadix usually purple.

ARUM NIGRUM .......................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $24.00

the unmistakable aroma of horse dung. In the wild it is largely restricted to a small area in the
former Yugoslavia, where it grows on rocky shaded hillsides.

ARUM PALESTINUM ................................................................................. PRICE 1@ $12.00

Allied to dioscoridis but spathe is uniformly yellow-green without and uniformly rich purple red
within with a purplish black spadix. It is Middle Eastern and a bit on the tender side here.

ARUM PETTERI (ORIENTALE) YUGOSLAVIA ................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Jim Briggs brought us four of these many years ago, I think they may have originated with
Archibalds, we treasured them and we have been slowly building stock ever since. I now have
forty to spare, first-come first-served.

ARUM PURPUREOSPATHUM ................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Large species, seldom encountered, leaves emerge in autumn, from Crete and probably fairly
tender.

ARUM PURPUREOSPATHUM SSP ANATOLICUM .............................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

A large form from Turkey with an evil looking dark spathe.

ARUM SP. „EX CRETE. ................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

This is distinct from the plant we grow as A. cretica, but plants have not yet flowered so a
positive identification is not possible.

ARUNCUS AETHUSIFOLIUS .................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Native to Japan and Korea, A. aethusifolius is very similar to A. parvulus with wonderful, 1'
mounds of finely dissected leaves, topped by short plumes of white flowers. It tolerates
everything from pondsides to dry shade and becomes a remarkably tight bun if grown in full sun.

ARUNCUS DIOICUS X SINENSIS ZWEIWELTENKIND ....................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Goatsbeards are much like big white Astilbe. They will tolerate more sun and dry than most
Astilbe. Very popular they are easy to work into garden designs. This blooms later than dioicus,
with brownish new growth; taxonomically confused.

ARUNCUS KAMTSCHATICUS ................................................................ PRICE 1@ $12.00

Obviously from Kamchatka, it grows a bit more than half the size of dioicus with similar panicles
of white flowers.

ARUNDO DONAX 'VARIEGATA' ............................................................. PRICE 1@ $15.00

This is a grass and a half, in its native haunts in Southern Europe it can reach 6 meters in height
here it doesn.t get quite that big especially in its variegated forms but still achieves a Bamboo
like stature.

EASTERN AMERICAN ASARUSM ................................. SEE WILDFLOWER SECTION

ASARUM CHINENSE (CAUDIGERUM) .................................................. PRICE 1@ $19.00

A fuzzy leaved running species that has been distributed under the name chinense, which
seems to be conspecific with caudigerum fleshy pink flowers with tails on the tips.

ASARUM SP AFF MAGNIFICUM ............................................................. PRICE 1@ $24.00

Perhaps the largest flowered of all the gingers, magnificum is a bit like maximum with huge
eyed flowers but with more speckling and texture than maximum, a spectacular plant, it is a cold
greenhouse specimen here.

ASARUM MAXIMUM PANDA ................................................................... PRICE 1@ $24.00

I hand pollinated a few flowers a couple years ago from a particularly good form with well
marked leaves and non-muddy flowers. To my surprise they actually set seed, better still they
came up, spending a full year in the seed pot before we dared pot them out. They have grown
into neat little plants with widely variable leaf markings.

ASARUM SPLENDENS EX WILD CHINA .............................................. PRICE 1@ $15.00

One of the larger flowered Chinese species and one of the easiest, this may or may not be
conspecific with Asarum magnificum. The taxonomy is confused with many Chinese imports
appearing under a variety of names. We fear it may be a while before everything is properly
sorted out in the meantime enjoy the plants and don.t get too freaked about the names.

typically purplish pink with a creamy corona.

A wonderful mix, with lots of orange and pure yellow and a few pure dark red flowers; drought
tolerant and difficult to transplant once established it is a favorite with monarch butterflies and
should be planted in big drifts along with Liatris ligulostylis monarch strain for best effect.

A pure yellow selection that comes true from seed, I like it in combination with campanula Stevie
Ray.

A sizeable genus in the Rubiaceae, the name refers to the rough bedstraw
like stems, containing some of the finest cushion plants known to man. Long
cultivated for the fantastic cushions smothered in long tubed pink flowers. We

exception of the furry ones they are rather easy plants in the open garden.

whorls of ten or so long tubed pink flowers. I was formerly known as Asperula dolichophylla.

while and we finally managed to propagate some.

ASPERULA PONTICA ................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Similar to gussonii but more mat forming than domed, very floriferous with good long tubed pink
flowers, definitely not a weed.

ASPERULA SINTENSII 61 CLONE 2 ..................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

clone 2, it is very compact, slow growing and tight. Collected on rocky limestone slopes by
Mojmir Pavelka near Kaz Dag, Turkey at 1,600m

ASPERULA SUAVIS ...................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

compact attractive plants, it has been harder to come by in recent years and we are excited to
be able to once again offer it.

BAMBOO

Problems with the neighbors, plant a row of yellow groove on your property
line, it makes a great living fence, which will eventually eat half your
neighbors yard. I think bamboos are best appreciated as large clumps viewed
from a distance, the bad news is that unless you take drastic measures it will
eat your garden as well, spoiling the whole distant panorama thing. You
should also know that Roundup will not stop the creeping attack. The

An outstanding decumbent mallow, trailing from a central rootstock stems snake for several feet
through the garden sending up a continuous parade very showy of magenta flowers, we've had
a hell of a time convincing some of our botanically challenged customers that it wasn't some
sort of geranium. As to the „Buffalo Rose. thing I don.t see much difference from the straight
species.


CALTHA PALUSTRIS ................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Marsh Marigolds are perfect for a wet spot or the bank of a garden stream; Caltha will even
grow in standing water. It forms large clumps of glossy leaves, which are obscured in spring by
the myriads of 2” shining yellow buttercup flowers that scream for a macro lens. I put one in a
pond made from a sunken bathtub and over the years, it has filled the tub displacing everything.
Viewed from a distance in this dry rock garden setting it is a startling sight, an Adonis gone mad.

CAMPANULA

Campanulas are a major element in the summer garden; the genus displays
great diversity in size and form providing everything from tiny trough species
to huge gaudy border perennials. Admittedly the color range isn.t much, most
are blue with the attendant albino versions, and what passes for pink or
yellow is pretty pathetic, still how can you go wrong with blues and purples, at
their best they rival the finest Gentians in terms of color. Most are easy and
free blooming, producing a spectacular display in the garden. For the rock
gardener there are species that will test the patience of even the most skillful
grower. Campanulas are an indispensable group of plants that can keep your
interest for years; for as long as I have known her Betty Blake has been busy
growing every species Crook lists, not to mention all the new ones. The list
below should give you a fair start on her quest.

be a solid performer.

CAMPANULA ANOMALA ............................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

An attractive plant related to C. bellidifolia with tufted cushions of hairy leaves topped with
solitary dark violet blue flowers on short stems, collected by Mojmir Pavelka from limestones in

CAMPANULA CARPATICA 'GRAHAM GIANT' ...................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Truth to tell, I.m not a big fan of carpatica, it wouldn.t break my heart if I never see another plant
of „Blue Clips.. 'Graham Giant' is another matter however; flowers are huge and upward facing,
(they caught Fred Case.s eye from halfway across the greenhouse). A compact seedling
selected by Rick Lupp, it seems not to be half annual. I just hope it doesn.t turn ugly as it gets
old, young plants are cute as hell.

CAMPANULA CARPATICA V. TURBINATA .......................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A charming plant quite unlike the nearly annual bedding plants carpatica that are too often seen,

and who am I to disagree.

tell them apart if they are sitting side by side.

CAMPANULA GLOMERATA „JOAN ELLIOT. ........................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Brigitta's original strain rescued during the crazy times, we finally have enough excess to
catalog. I've seen several plants under this name and this is by far the best, it runs like mad but
blooms for months and the flower heads are huge. Friends will beg enough plants to keep it in
check.

CAMPANULA HAWKINSIANA .................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A rare and beautiful Greek species that maintains a tenuous foothold in cultivation, its native to
serpentine screes in Greece and has a reputation for collapsing without warning, however it is
not generally monocarpic; always coveted by those who can grow it for the wide open dark blue
bells veined with yet a deeper color. Farrer calls it a species of incomparable beauty “Floats out
a cloud of 12-18” stems, airy and almost naked but for a few minute narrow leaves, each
carrying at the end a single flower, large and rich and wide, of the most refulgent purple”.

CAMPANULA HAYLODGENSIS 'MARION FISHER. ............................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

A cross between carpatica and cochlearifolia this is actually a seedling of „Warley White „„with
masses of fully double pure white flowers. It.s one of the best small Campanulas and an
excellent choice for trough culture.

CAMPANULA X HAYLODGENSIS „WARLEY BLUE. ............................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

almost sure to be blue, I'm sure you can well imagine the glowing terms I'd use to describe it if
only I knew where my notes were.

CAMPANULA LINIFOLIA WHITE FORM ................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

CAMPANULA PORTENSCHLAGIANA ..................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Grown and loved for decades it flourishes in sun or light shade. Farrer calls it the most
indispensable, indestructible and generally magnificent of all Campanulas. If the Master liked it

showy flat flowers in mid summer.

CAMPANULA PUNCTATA 'ALINA'S DOUBLE' ...................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

for the space available; the plant is quite nice although in actuality, I believe it is a recycled
Japanese cultivar.

A compact dwarf form with long pink bells, heavilly spotted on the inside with red, it is extremely
cute.

runner.

around in a trough it is sometimes confused with C. calaminthifolia


CAMPANULA TAKESIMANA 'BEAUTIFUL TRUST' ............................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

You know we like our plants strange and this surely is; it appears to be a chance hybrid
between Michauxia and Campanula takesimana. It originated in South Korea and is named for
the daughter of Song Kihun from the Chollipo Arboretum (the name loses something in the
translation). The corolla is split Michauxia fashion and reflexed but not to the extent you see in
Michauxia. We anxiously await the first Campanula zoysii x Michauxia cross, its time for all the
amateur plant breeders to abandon their Hostas and Daylilies and get their brushes ready.

CAMPANULA TOMMASINIANA ................................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

A well known European species with attractive purple backed leaves and white or pink cruciform
flowers in early spring from creeping rhizomes. This is a charming plant for moist woodland

A compact bronze foliaged carex, it is tolerant of moist soils in full sun or light shade.

CAREX BUCHANII ........................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

The dead sedge- this thing is so brown that people ask if it is alive but it just keeps on truckin.,
I.ve come to really like it; planted en masse in the landscape the effect is stunning. Much hardier
than often reported it winters in Michigan, zone 7 or 8 is just hell in a bucket.

CAREX CARYOPHYLLA 'BEATLEMANIA' ............................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

This forms 6” high clumps of gold edged leaves forming a mop headed clump up to two foot
wide courtesy of Pierre at Sunny Border, love his gift boxes, always some treasures.

nice variegated form although hardly unique. Most of these Carex throw variegated forms on a

CAREX COMANS BRONZE FORM ............................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

More bronze than brown, comans has a lovely arching habit quite unlike the stiffly upright form
of buchanii; at some point New Zealand must have had strong selective pressure by something
that did not like to eat brown leaves but I.ve never heard any speculation as to exactly what.

CAREX CONICA MARGINATA .................................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

A very short nicely variegated sedge that Dick has had for years and can't remember the name

A short little sedge, I'm sure Tony Reznecek loves it, and after all he is the best botanist I know
(rumored to be able to sight ID every described Carex), and a fantastic gardener, who am I to
argue, still, I can't find all that much to love.

CAREX ELATA 'BOWLES GOLDEN' ..................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

heavily white felted beneath.

CENTAUREA RUTHENICA ......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

border perhaps as a backdrop for Centaurea montana.

Native to coastal Arctic Europe This looks just like chloodes with similar small cushions of
thready stemmed Gentian foliage, nearly hidden most of the time beneath masses of tiny long

a flat angular Briza maxima.

CHASMATOPHYLLUM MUSCULINUM .................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Yet another of the "Hardy" Delosperma-like mesembs (hardy in Denver's zone 5 has become
something of a joke around here, which is why I have such disdain for zone maps). It survived
the winter here but died in the spring mushy season, like most of them it needs it dry to make it,
but it is easy to bring a piece inside, they root like weeds.

CHASMATOPHYLLUM SP. ......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A nearly everblooming plant from Krugerskrall via Alan Bradshaw with bright yellow flowers over
tufts of foliage that emerge emerald green in spring in nice contrast to the bluish overwintering

years.

variegation, it tends to be difficult to establish since both deer and checkerspots tend to devour
it.

flowers are virtually identical typically pink but in this case white. Chelone species are food for
the Baltimore Checkerspot butterfly; a rare, local and very beautiful butterfly that seldom
wanders far from where it was born. Adult butterflies are so trusting that Ender can get them to
crawl onto his finger and walk around with them. Contact us for details on raising them. One of
our employees had a near death experience when the webbed nests with hundreds of
caterpillars were cut off and thrown on the compost pile.

CHRYSANTHEMUM (DENDRANTHEMA) 'CLARA CURTIS' .............. PRICE 1@ $6.50

In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees it.s just a sprinkling for the May
Queen.

summer.

A dwarf pink flowered species native to Japan and Kamtschatica, it is small enough for a larger
rock garden, forming loose cushions of woody stems 12-25 cm high.

Also known as Heterotheca villosa this is commonly known as Golden Aster it is Western
American native and quite garden worthy.

CICHORIUM PUMILUM ............................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A cool little spiny shrublet (actually it starts life with a taraxicum-like rosette) the general
appearance is much the same as spinosum however pumilum seems to produce adventitious
plantlets from the roots, spinosum will too but only occasionally.

CICHORIUM SPINOSUM ............................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Sky blue flowers, strange contorted spiny bushlets (actually it starts life with a taraxicum-like
rosette), this is a wonderful plant and always commented on by visitors to the nursery, not your
roadside weed.

A fine plant and trendy, pricey too; in its various incarnations its been featured on a number of
covers in computer enhanced color. Even without the plastic surgery, its bronzy foliage and
racemes of white flowers are most impressive.

CIMICIFUGA RAMOSA 'HILLSIDE BLACK BEAUTY' ....................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

Another contender for the darkest leaved Cimicifuga; to tell the truth culture and placement in
the garden seems to have more to do with it than genetics, all the dark ones are spectacular
with a fragrance is simply incredible. Big drifts are quite a sight in late summer.

CIMICIFUGA RAMOSA 'JAMES COMPTON' ....................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

Yet another dark one, supposedly more compact growing than the others but I see little
difference. To tell the truth culture and placement in the garden seems to have more to do with it
than genetics, all the dark ones are spectacular with a fragrance that is simply incredible. Big
drifts are quite a sight in late summer.

CIMICIFUGA SIMPLEX 'PRICHARD.S GIANT' .................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

A huge thing that towers to 7 feet and more, flowers are only so so but the plant is imposing.

better than most of the variegated forms I have seen.

CONVALLARIA MAJALIS FL. PL. ............................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

Langhammer brought us this long ago, we offered it once and it was so popular that it has taken
us years to build back stock. The double flowered version is much slower to multiply than the
single forms. I understand that there are gold edged and silver edged variegated forms in
cultivation, if you grow either of these let us know, as for the streaky variegated form we finally
have an excellent clone with spectacular variegated foliage

CONVALLARIA MAJALIS ROSEA ............................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

Another from Jim, rosea is definitely faster growing than Flora Plena but nothing like the straight
species I divided plants in late summer once and they hated it, hard to believe you could croak
lily of the valley, now we are more careful.

CONVOLVULUS ALTHAEOIDES EX HOLUBEC ................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Herbaceous perennial trailing or twining to 100cm, elegant silvery foliage, pink Morning Glory
flowers 2.5-4cm wide, it runs but has never been a weed for us, indeed I wish it was a bit faster.

Decumbent stems bearing silky hairy linear leaves and 3-4cm pink morning glory flowers, it
forms mats to 25cm; collected on sunny stony slopes near Golobardo, Bulgaria at 1600m.

a protected site, it is on the tender side some years it winters some it doesn.t.

COREOPSIS ALPINA ALBA ....................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A cute little white Coreopsis that we got from Siskiyou, destined to be very popular.

Jelleto introduction from Germany.

From Darryl Probst.s big bang series summer flowers are creamy yellow with a red eye, as cool
weather approaches in fall or as you approach the speed of light they become red with yellow
streaks, these are supposed to be zone 5 hardy but we suspect they resent winter wet,

COREOPSIS LANCEOLATA STERNTALLER ......................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Virtually everblooming with yellow flowers having a central reddish brown eye ring.

COREOPSIS PUBESCENS 'SUNSHINE SUPERMAN' ......................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

listen to Season of the Witch.

COREOPSIS ROSEA 'AMERICAN DREAM' ............................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

moist site but will tolerate a wide range of garden conditions.

Dwarf threadleaf selection from Blooms with bright yellow flowers; lots of hype but nice.

COREOPSIS VERTICILLATA 'MOONBEAM' .......................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Probably the most popular Coreopsis and deservedly so, with soft muted yellow flowers
produced in profusion all summer long, and neat mounds of threadlike leaves.

COREOPSIS VERTICILLATA 'ROUTE 66' ............................................ PRICE 1@ $15.00

Yellow with a red eye, in fall the flowers turn mostly red, it is one of the more unique Coreopsis.

summer.

CORONILLA MINIMA ................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Flat mats, gray leaves, and fragrant yellow pea like flowers in mid summer, a crownvetch, but a
very fine one.

CORTADERIA SELLOENA PUMILA ....................................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

A dwarf, well actually it is pretty damn huge version of Pampas grass that is significantly hardier
than the species, it is the only form that survives here long term.

CORYDALIS

A huge genus of with over 300 species that most taxonomists place in the
Papaveraceae, some are bulbous, some are creeping woodlanders; the
flower colors are intense, in virtually every visible wavelength and a few that
only the Bumblebees can see. Most are easy to the point of being weedy,
(they have explosively dehiscent seed that is intolerant of dry storage)
although there are legendary rarities like Corydalis cashmiriana that border on
the un-growable. The following offer offers but a glimpse of the wealth they
have to offer.

CORYDALIS BULBOSA .............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $12.00

At least we think its bulbosa; this is confused with cava, bulbous purple ephemeral.

CORYDALIS DECEPIENS ............................................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

A bulbous species; Zetterlund considers the name to be conspecific with C. solida ssp incisa, to
add to the confusion there is a Dutch variety 'Decepiens', an improved early flowering purplish
solida selection of obscure origin, ours are probably this one.

CORYDALIS ELATA .................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

A fairly new blue species out of S.W. Sichuan, similar to flexuosa it has preformed much better
here; flexuosa mostly dies for us.

CORYDALIS EX DUFU TEMPLE ................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

This years cover it came from a collection offered in the Scottish rock garden seed exchange. It
is hardy here and has wonderful blue fragrant flowers in shades ranging from sky blue to
purplish blue with sky blue forms predominate. It is very distinct and nothing like C. flexuosa
Blue Panda. Our original three plants have multiplied, and multiplied, and multiplied, the most
wonderful weed you could possibly have. It blooms from spring continuously until November.
Seed explodes from Touch-Me-Not capsules at the slightest touch, making it lots of fun for kids
but a bitch to collect; fortunately the ants will pick up the seeds and plant them for you. As far as
we know all stock in the U.S. originated with us; recently plants have been offered as a cultivar
of linstowiana, we don.t know what they grow as linstowiana but Zetterlund sent us seed from
Gothenburg. From Heinrich we presume it to be the real thing and it is definitely different from
Dufu, so much so that we can hardly believe they belong to the same species. Unlike
linstowiana, Dufu is semi-tuberous and very cold hardy and permanent. A plant that is sure to
become a classic, and we predict will largely replace C. lutea in the landscape - by brute force if
necessary. Everyone who sees it wants it, and you no longer need to kneel and beg to have
one.

CORYDALIS LEUCANTHEMA „SILVER SPECTRE. DJHC 752 .......... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Slow growing it has taken us years to build up enough to offer, leucanthema is unique with
silvery white blotches on the leaves hence the name „Silver Spectre., and fragrant light lavender
flowers with a deep purple lip. These date from Dan.s collections from a creek bank in Sichuan
at 6400. in 1996.

CORYDALIS LUTEA ..................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

We haven.t offered this in a while, but it hitch hiked back into the garden on a Sinocalycanthus
that Langhammer brought us, (be warned it is even more of a weed than Dufu) however it too
blooms forever and is great from a landscape point of view. In any event, it is now loose in our
Hosta garden and we have been potting up some of the excess, its just too pretty to throw on
the compost pile.

CORYDALIS OCHROLEUCA ....................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

The real thing, note the non-shiny seed (white forms of lutea have shiny seed), an easy long
flowering species, like a cream flowered lutea. It occupies a place of prominence in the shade
garden alongside the steps to the lower parking lot, „Galen Gates from Chicago Botanic Garden
saw it and at his urging we added it to our offerings.

CORYDALIS SOLIDA .................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

The classic early flowering bulbous Corydalis, it spends a great deal of time dormant but is
incredibly showy when in flower, the tubers slowly multiplying by splitting in half, flowers can be
anything from purple to red; these are un-flowered seedlings.

CORYDALIS SOLIDA 'DIETER SCHACHT' ........................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

From the Munich Botanic Garden „Dieter Schacht. is similar to „Beth Evens. but a better
multiplier, scapes of soft pink flowers with a white flash on the spur; it remains a highly desirable
clone.

CORYDALIS STENANTHA .......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

A new species out of China, it runs underground but is quite different from the flexuosa types,
flowers are purple and outstanding; plants are large and vigorous and appear to be permanent
in the garden. The name seems somewhat questionable but this is what we got it as and for
now at least we can offer nothing better.

CORYDALIS WILSONII ................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

Spectacular silvery gray foliage and bright yellow flowers, it's one of the showiest species and
puts lutea to shame but a bit tender and / or wet sensitive here and needs proper placement to
survive outdoors, it will seed and weed like all the rest if happy.

CORYPHANTHA VIVIPARA VAR. BUOFLAMA ..................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Barrels are densely covered in black tipped white spines, it is nearly extinct due to over
collecting for the manufacture of fake fireplace logs: just kidding it may have more to do with the
yellow pink and peach flowers. This is one of the best hardy barrel cacti.

COSMOS ATROSANGUINEA ...................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Deep blackish purple chocolate scented flowers, what more could you want? Well a trifle more
hardiness wouldn.t break my heart.

COTYLEDON ORBICULARE ...................................................................... PRICE 1@ $24.00

Spectacular looking with big gray fleshy round leaves with a reddish edge and brilliant orange
red flowers on meter high plants. Halda collected this up high in the Drakensburg back in the
mid 90.s, it probably is the most cold hardy form in cultivation although it melted outside for Dick
and Tony; it may be great out west. In terms of floral display and foliage effect, no other
succulent we grow even comes close.

CRAMBE MARITIMA ................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

Sea kale is a halophytic perennial plant in the genus Crambe that grows wild along the coasts of
Europe, from the North Atlantic to the Black Sea. It has large fleshy glaucous collard-like leaves
and abundant white flowers. The shoots are served like Asparagus: steamed, with either a
Bechamel sauce or melted butter, salt and pepper.


CRASSULA LYCOPODIOIDES (muscosa) .............................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

This does indeed look a bit like a club moss with stems of imbricated fleshy leaves like a square
rat.s tail branching to form a weird coral like growth, it.s South African and tender.

CRINUM X POWLII VAR ALBUM ............................................................ PRICE 1@ $19.00

One of the hardiest crinums, a hybrid between Crinum bulbispermum x Crinum moorei, 1.5m
scapes bear umbels of fragrant white Amaryllis flowers.

CROCOSMIA HYBRIDS 'GEORGE DAVISON' ....................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Named for the British-born scientist George Davidson His first hybrid called 'George Davison'
won RHS Award of Merit 1902 and was of Lemoine parentage. this is an outstanding yellow
crocosmia and a good companion for lucifer

CUNILA ORIGANIOIDES .............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

Grown primarily for the frost flowers, weird ribbon-like frozen sculptures of sap that sort of
extrude from the crown of the plant when conditions are just right. The physics of this is
interesting, does it extrude supercooled? There are some fantastic photos of this on the web
and this really has to be seen.

CYCLAMEN

A fantastic genus that unfortunately suffers from a tender houseplant image,
causing many gardeners to dismiss them. Coum and hederifolium should be
hardy almost anywhere in the U.S., and there are a large number of other
species that will succeed if given a bit of extra protection. Cyclamen thrive in
dry shade but will tolerate nearly full sun. We urge you the check out the
Grey-Wilson Cyclamen book, whatever you may think of the author.s eco-
politics the book is excellent. Arrowhead is probably the largest grower of
species Cyclamen in the U.S. and the quality of our offerings is second to
none. Most of what we offer is flowering size with leaf patterns that are
incredible. Please note if you order Cyclamen for spring shipment they will be
going dormant at shipping time, they are NOT dying. Cyclamen are intolerant
of dry storage so plant them, do not remove the bulbs and store them dry.

CYCLAMEN CILICIUM .............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $15.00

Mojmir.s collections from the Caucasus, with rather heart shaped leaves, longer petal lobes and
a pair of pink eyes below the blotch.

Reversions out of Pewter leaf, which was a Kath Dryden, cross between Coum Nymans and
Coum E.A. Bowles 471. These fit the description of Bowles 471; vigorous plants with a green
Christmas tree mark in the center of the leaf surrounded by silvery marbled overlay and with a
dark green picotee edge. Call them what you will they are very nice.

CYCLAMEN COUM MAURICE DRYDEN ................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

A Kath Dryden Pewter Leaf selection, named for her husband; basically it is a white flowered
pewter leaf, flowers are white with a red throat, leaves are silver with a green picotee edge. An
outstanding plant that comes quite true from seed. See the Cyclamen book by Chris Gray-
Wilson for much greater detail.

CYCLAMEN COUM PEWTER LEAF ......................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

leaves with little or no green in them; a most outstanding cyclamen form.

CYCLAMEN COUM SILVER LEAF ............................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

These have been re-selected from pewter leaf for a more silvery color, the differences are
subtle but quite evident when you see a flat of each side by side; spectacular plants.

CYCLAMEN HEDERIFOLIUM (NEAPOLITANUM) ............................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Ferociously floriferous; the clumps of marbled foliage can spread to nearly 2. wide, radiating
from flattened bulbs the size of dinner plates and producing delicate pink flowers in such
numbers as not to be believed from late summer until early winter. They posses the amplitude
and grace of a florist Cyclamen and a tuberous tenacity that rivals Kudzu.

CYCLAMEN HEDERIFOLIUM F. ALBUM WHITE W PINK NOSE ... PRICE 1@ $19.00

Pure white flowers with a pink nose, and who can resist a pink nose?

CYCLAMEN HEDERIFOLIUM PURE SILVER LEAF ........................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

Seedlings from Brigitta's hand picked collection from Ashwoods, Archibalds and others, the
strain probably originated with Bowles Apollo. The parents rival anything seen on the European
show benches, these are absolutely stunning, basically solid silver with just a few green marks.
The metallic Silver leaves are simply unreal they look spray painted.if anyone could ever breed
a Hosta that looked like this it would sell for a hundred grand.

CYCLAMEN HEDERIFOLIUM SILVER LEAF WITH MARKINGS ..... PRICE 1@ $15.00

As above but the leaves have some cool green paterning on the silver background.

CYCLAMEN HEDERIFOLIUM WHITE CLOUD ..................................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

Our selections from white flowered intensely silver plants, these will rival anything you will see
on the European show benches.

CYCLAMEN PURPURESCENS ................................................................ PRICE 1@ $15.00

some people apparently can.t smell them, it does not seed around for us.

CYMBALARIA AEQUITRILOBA ................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

The smallest of the Cymbalarias we grow; flowers are very tiny but intensely colored and
actually quite showy. It is most civilized and lacks the tendency to cannibalize neighboring
plants.

Compact white flowered form more suitable to a rock garden.

CYMBALARIA MURIALIS GLOBOSA ROSEUM .................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

bloom for extended periods and look cute in a pot.

CYMBIDIUM GOERINGII ........................................................................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

One of the few hardy Cymbidiums Dick grew this Japanese species outside without protection
for years, not only is it hardy its fairly easy and relatively large flowered. Hey rip out one of those
ugly clumps of Hosta and replace it with a touch of class.

CYMOPTERUS LONGILOBATUS EX WY ................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

A weird little Western carrot with incredibly anise scented glossy foliage and umbels of yellow
flowers on short stems. I suspect this will prove a magnet for butterflies in the black swallowtail
group, why munch parsley when you can eat Cymopterus and make your scent horns really
overpowering. (Touch them lightly on the back and they magically become erect).

DAPHNE - SEE OUR WONDERFUL SELECTION IN THE SHRUB SECTION

DARMERA (PELTIPHYLLUM) PELTATUM ........................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

A tough plant that tolerates more abuse in terms of sun and dry soils than I would have thought
possible, even surviving in a dry sandy scree in full sun (its supposed to be a shady pondside
thing). Pink balls of Saxifrage flowers before the leaves in spring, followed by large Astilboides-
like leaves.

DATISCA GLOMERATA Ratko 00-211 ........................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

hyoscyamine Used in several cultures to induce halucinations or to drug travellers so they can
be robbed, Daturas make outstanding showy garden plants that are moderately hardy and
persist for years by self sown seedlings

DELOSPERMA

Amazingly drought tolerant these little mesembs will tolerate hot and dry sites
that would fry most other plants and still flower like mad. Many are
surprisingly cold tolerant although they do tend to melt in wet spring weather.
They are easily cut and it is a simple matter to keep a backup plant on a
windowsill or cold frame just in case things get too wet. Delosperma will also
self-sow in the garden and any surviving scraps quickly grow back to form a
good-sized plant in a single season.

DELOSPERMA ABERDEENENSE .............................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

site.

DESMODIUM DILLENII ................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

As tickseed peas go this is rather showy with pink pea flowers followed by velcro seeds, it is
tolerant of a wide range of garden conditions and just the thing for the native garden.


DIANELLA TASMANICA ........................................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

As you might expect from something that evolved in Tasmanian isolation this is unique looking,
the clumps of weird flattened (we are talking steamroller here) foliage give rise to branching
scapes to 150cm tall bearing hundreds of one inch flowers. The six sky blue petal (3 sepals, 3
petals) are reflexed backwards Dodecatheon fashion and the six prominent bright yellow
stamens dangle downward. They are followed by incredible purple egg shaped fruits. Leaves
are used locally for basket weaving and cordage.

DIANTHUS

An indispensable genus for the rock gardener, the genus has over 300
species to choose from. We tend to focus on the tight bun types although I
have nothing against Carnations; indeed, I am surprised that no one has
crossed the large flowered types with the buns. The cushions generally want
full sun and good drainage, with perhaps a bit of lime in the soil, other than
that they are carefree. Leggy older plants may benefit from the occasional
shearing, a service our local bunnies provide from time to time.

DIANTHUS AMURENSIS ............................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

An unusual Dianthus the flowers have a distinct bluish cast it is easy and free flowering and
perfect for the front of a perennial border.

DIANTHUS „MOUNTAIN MIST. ................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

plumarius type with low mounds of blue green foliage and semi double laciniated pink flowers
on relatively long stems.

DIANTHUS BARBATUS 'HEART ATTACK' ........................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Supposedly fully perennial with reddish green foliage and deep blood red Sweet William flowers.

Very dark almost black flowers in great profusion, it goes monocarpic but will seed around and
the color is unlike any other dianthus we grow.

A cushion to mat former boissieri has been lumped into sylvestris in recent years, whatever the
name the plants are the same.

DIANTHUS CRUENTUS .............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Like your Dianthus tall and cruel? This cluster headed monster is related to Dianthus
carthusianorum and is too tall for the rock garden.

DIANTHUS DELTOIDES 'ARCTIC FIRE. ................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

for lawns, mow once a year after flowering.

DIANTHUS ERINACEUS ............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

Rick Lupp.s clone of this rare Kaz Dagh endemic; compact spiny mounds, pink flowers sit right
on the cushion, one of the tightest species, it resents being too wet in winter.

DIANTHUS FREYNII .................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Rivaling microlepis, not quite as large flowered, rock hard domes, an excellent trough plant, long
lived, spectacular. Read Farrer, he describes the plant we have, AGS compares it to glacialis -
no way.

DIANTHUS 'FROSTY FIRE' ........................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

A Walters introduction with excellent blue green foliage and deep red double flowers on
compact scapes it looks to have grat-plumarius parentage, one of the best looking new dianthus
we have seen in a while.

DIANTHUS GIGANTEUS BANATICUS .................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

“Hairy heads atop 2-3. stems reveal flowers of blood scarlet less impure and unpleasing than
the others” Farrer.s comments on the clusterhead pinks.

DIANTHUS GLACIALIS ELEGANS ........................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

I believe this is now just Dianthus elegans, a tufted Turkish endemic that grows on limestone
with pink flowers on relatively tall scapes.

DIANTHUS GRATIOPOLITANUS ............................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

The classic cheddar pink, spicy clove fragrance and abundant flowers.

DIANTHUS GRATIOPOLITANUS LA BORBILLE ALBA ...................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A white form of the classic cheddar pink, it's larger than Sternkissen and not as tight.

DIANTHUS GRATIOPOLITANUS 'TINY RUBIES' ................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

An old standby this forms low mats of bluish green foliage and is covered in flowers with the
classic cheddar pink scent, I find it a favorite nectar plant of the Clearwing Hawkmoths.

Dwarf cushions of short glaucous leaves, intense dark pink flowers may be solitary or 2-3 per
stem; Pavelka.s collection from rocky slopes in the Pindos Mts in Greece at 1,700m.

Tiny dense domes, the perfect handful of gray foliage tastefully adorned with little pink things
held firmly erect, flowers of coarse.

Mojmir, who does get around, collected this in Croatia near Biokovo at 1600m on limestone
rocks. Small cushions of green leaves topped by white flowers on branched 20cm stems, it is a
rarely offered species related to subacaulis and sometimes incorrectly listed as D. strictus
brachyanthus.

DIANTHUS MYRTINERVIS SSP. CAESPITOSUS ................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Once thought to be a deltoides microform, but now considered distinct, this is the best we have
seen, extremely compact, grown lean it could be mistaken for Silene acaulis.

DIANTHUS NEGLECTUS (PAVONIUS) ................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Also known as pavonius, it is acclaimed as one of the finest species; forming dense mounds of
tight foliage and ample pink flowers with a buff reverse on short stems that completely obscure
the foliage. At it.s best the cushions are very tight, grassy leaves, it's no microlepis but much
more indestructible in nature.

DIANTHUS PETRAEUS ................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Wild collections from the Czechs, compact selections from one of the best rock garden species
and not contaminated like most garden seed, most appear to be white flowered and probably
represent the subspecies noeanus.

Rick Lupp's favorite, tight grey green cushions and abundant large double pink flowers on very
short stems.

DIANTHUS 'RASPBERRY SWIRL' ............................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

bred by John Whetman in England.

DIANTHUS SPICULIFOLIUS ...................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

From the Carpathians, spiculifolius is very similar to petraeus, however the flowers are larger, 2-
3cm, and always bearded and deeply laciniated.

DIANTHUS SUBACAULIS PUNNETT.S TIGHT BLUE ......................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Dick picked this extremely tight form with good blue color from a batch of Piatek.s seedlings, by
far the best of the bunch, this promises to be a very good plant, the more we see of it the better
we like it, I.d say it ranks with the finest Dianthus we have ever grown.

DIANTHUS SUPERBUS ............................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Superb indeed at least in terms of flowers, the habit however does leave a bit to be desired;
these represent new material from Mojmir.s collections in Kyrgyzstan. He found them growing
in alpine meadows of the Tian-Shan at 2500m where their incredibly laciniated fragrant pink
flowers danced over the sparse turf atop 20cm stems, someone really should cross this to
microlepis or simulans, these flowers on a hard cushion would be incredible.

DICENTRA CANADENSIS ........................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

An exquisite little woodlander, with attractive ferny foliage and pink tinged white flowers like a
tiny Bleeding Heart; Squirrel Corn bulbs are naturally tiny like kernels of corn, but it can form
wide colonies over time.

DICENTRA CUCULLARIA ........................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Almost identical to canadensis in foliage, the bulbs are much different and the fat white golden-
throated flowers of cucullaria look like a tiny pair of white pants, not just any pants but
Dutchman.s breeches, it too can form extensive patches.

DICENTRA EXIMIA ....................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Colony forming, extensive rhizomes, leaves extremely dissected, flowers pink to rosy red 30-
50cm tall, from the Northeastern U.S.; Flowers May to September.

DICENTRA FORMOSA ................................................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

Much like eximia but more robust, flowers broader, with deeply crested sepals; it flowers from
late spring to summer and often re-blooms.

DICENTRA PEREGRINA HYB 'KING OF HEARTS' ............................ PRICE 1@ $19.00

Absolutely stunning with the glaucous dissected peregrina look but much more growable, a
legendary plant you are not likely to find at your local garden center and definitely more kickass
than your typical bleeding heart.

DICENTRA SPECTABILIS 'GOLD HEART' ........................................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

This cool yellow leafed bleeding heart really stands out in the shade, flowers are typical pink
bleeding hearts.

DICTAMNUS ALBUS (FRAXINELLA) PURPUREUS ........................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Gas plant, glandular hairs emit an aromatic gas that can be set ablaze on still muggy summer
nights. Please check for Giant Swallowtail larva first or you may barbeque your bird droppings
(Dictamnus is a first choice munchie here). Racemes of showy flowers in spring followed by
attractive explosively dehiscent seed heads, Dictamnus can shoot shiny black missiles across a
room. Very long lived in the garden they resent disturbance, do not move large plants;
germination of dry stored seed is complicated by hard seed coats and secondary dormancies,
limiting most commercial production. This is the first large crop we have had in years the result
in part of introducing new genetic material from the Caucasus. Germination improved greatly,
colors could be anything from purple to white. Like many rutaceous plants they may cause
photodermatitus in sensitive people. Rue does this to me but Dictamnus has never given me
trouble and I am always looking for caterpillars on it.

DIGITALIS AMBIGUA (GRANDIFLORA) 'CARILLON' .......................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A soundly perennial yellow flowered species that is indestructible in the garden, „Carillon. is a
dwarf strain that seems identical to Temple Bells.

DIGITALIS DAVISIANA ................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Creamy flowers netted reddish orange in the throat this is a Turkish endemic and relatively rare
in gardens.

DIGITALIS LANATA ...................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Grecian foxglove is A highly ornamental species with tall spires of creamy flowers that are
yellowish orange inside and netted and veined in dark orange, it has been grown as a
commercial source for the drug digoxin.

DIGITALIS OBSCURA .................................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

A most distinct Spanish endemic from the area near Puerto del Pinar on open slopes with
limestone rubble at 1,100m; this shrubby perennial species has distinctive shiny narrow foliage
and amber yellow foxgloves marked with red on the interior. Previously offered wild collections
by the Archibalds were only 20-30cm high but these may be expected to get a bit taller if grow in
rich conditions, wonderful in a dry sunny site.

DIGITALIS PARVIFLORA ............................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Native to the mountains of northern Spain this perennial species features tall spires of rusty
orange flowers, bees love Foxgloves and they have evolved a classic lip for them to land on and
stamens that wipe pollen on their backs.

DIONYSIA ARETOIDES .............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $12.00

It.s fantastic, with rosettes of sticky-fuzzy narrow foliage and fragrant long tubed yellow flowers.
We have a mix of several clones this year.

DISPORUM & DISPOROPSIS

With elegant arching stems, they are lovely interspersed with drifts of ferns
and Trilliums. The Disporums and Disporopsis, along with their Polygonatum
and Smilacina cousins form an integral part of the woodland garden. All
except Disporopsis have both Asian and American counterparts, dating back
to a time before the continents drifted. We were amazed to find that even the
tropical looking evergreen Disporopsis survived unprotected.


DISPOROPSIS ARISANENSIS ................................................................. PRICE 1@ $12.00

These came from Dan with no collection data. He described them as forming colonies of 8”
stems, evergreen with the typical nodding creamy bells, and warns of confusion with the larger
D. fusca–picta from Sichuan. I admit to confusion, our plants have huge rhizomes as thick as
your thumb that have not only cracked their stockpots but taken to climbing up and out of the
pots, looking very green and photosynthetic and altogether almost epiphytic, not at all the
demure little 8” thing I had expected, mind you I.m not complaining these are cool.

DISPOROPSIS PERNEYI 'BILL BAKER FORM' .................................. PRICE 1@ $12.00

Evergreen Solomon.s seal, really, we don.t make these things up. This is another of the cool
new woodland plants coming out of China of late. A rare form with large creamy white flowers
tipped in purplish black in the leaf axils, this can take a lot of shade. Thinking of buying yet
another Hosta that probably looks pretty much like a zillion others, show some backbone, or at
least a notochord and purchase Disporopsis instead.

DISPOROPSIS PERNEYI „HERONSWOOD FORM. ............................. PRICE 1@ $12.00

A second D. perneyi clone from Hinkley, we suggest growing more than one clone to improve
fruit set, the ornamental fruits are bluish black and sit in the leaf axils.

DISPORUM CANTONIENSE 'AUREOVARIEGATA' ............................ PRICE 1@ $15.00

A rare and beautiful Disporum this handsome form is seldom available; it is worthy of a
prominent place in your woodland garden. Reputedly on the tender side now that we have
propagated a few we will try it outdoors, we suggest plenty of protection north of zone 7.

DISPORUM CANTONIENSE 'GREEN GIANT' ..................................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

Bamboo like stems reach 6. and more, this thing is impressive when established. For such a
huge plant it is rather slow to reach maturity.

DISPORUM CANTONIENSE 'NIGHT HERON' ..................................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

4-5. stems purple stems, the leaves gradually turn green as the summer progresses, and
dangling greenish yellow flowers. We think it.s one of Dan.s best introductions.

DISPORUM SP AFF. CANTONIENSE DJHC 724 .................................. PRICE 1@ $12.00

Hinkley.s collection from above boaxing in 1996, evergreen stems to 5. in mild regions, dying to
the ground in colder climates, marginal at best here.

DISPORUM FLAVUM (FLAVENS?) ............................................................. PRICE $12.00

Solomon's Seal-like woodlander, the yellow flowers are among the largest and showiest of any
we have seen. They came to us as flavum but the taxonomy of the cultivated Disporums is a
mess; very choice in any event.

DISPORUM MEGALANTHUM .................................................................. PRICE 1@ $15.00

A rarity with green tipped creamy bells and deep green foliage, it is slow to increase for a
Disporum.

DISPORUM NANTAUENSE BSJW 359 ................................................. PRICE 1@ $15.00

An elegant species from Taiwan collected in 1993 by Bleddyn and Sue Wynn Jones; suckering
stems with narrow glossy leaves, pendant creamy-greenish flowers followed by bluish fruits.

DISPORUM PULLUM VARIEGATA ......................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

A nice variegated fairy bell with narrow leaves nicely streaked with creamy white this is from
Heims and looks essentially identical to the plant we grow from Hinkley as Disporum sessile
variegata narrow leaf form. By any name this is a lovely thing to let run about in your woodland.

DISPORUM SESSILE 'CHIGGER' ........................................................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

A neat dwarf from Yinger this Japanese gem is only a few inches tall with internally streaked
foliage, very cool.

DISPORUM SESSILE 'SUNRAY' ............................................................. PRICE 1@ $19.00

8” tall with gold streaked leaves and pendant creamy flowers ex Shikoku Japan this is one of the
best disporums we grow.

DISPORUM SESSILE 'TIGHT WAD' ....................................................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

A Korean form growing about half the height of typical sessile with large pendant creamy bells, it
is slow growing and choice enough for a woodland trough.

DISPORUM SESSILE VARIEGATA BROAD LEAF FORM ................. PRICE 1@ $12.00

A white margined form, I find it a bit slower to establish then the narrow leafed form and the
broad leaf form is far less common in gardens.

DISPORUM SMILACINUM 'AUREOVARIEGATA' ............................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

A variegated version of this Japanese and Korean species, colonies of foot-high variegated
foliage with 2cm white flowers followed by black berries.

DISPORUM VIRIDESCENS HC 970422 ................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Dan.s collections from Chiri-San in 1977, arched branching stems to 18” bear starry white
flowers followed by bluish-black fruit.

DODECATHEON MEADIA ROTE FARBEN ............................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

Another German selection this time with red flowers which are somewhat unusual in media, I
wouldn.t be surprised to find they are actually hybrids.

DODECATHEON PULCHELLUM ............................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

A widespread and quite variable species pulchellum generally has rich deep pink flowers on
medium sized plants, these are seeded from good German garden forms and should be nice.

DORONICUM ORIENTALE (CAUCASICUM) 'LITTLE LEO. ............... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A dwarf form from Germany with semi-double long petaled golden daisy flowers to 8cm across
on compact 35cm high plants, it is very early blooming and a welcome addition to the spring
bulb display.

DORYCNIUM RECTUM ............................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Pink flowered sub shrubby pubescent legume, 12-18" tall it is from Southern Europe.

DRABA

Drabas create one of the first big shows in the spring rock garden; it is always
a treat to watch the bees picking out flowers emerging from the melting snow.
Below you will find easy and indestructible forms for the open garden as well
as fuzz balls choice enough for your best lump of tufa or trough. Try potting a
few in show pans in the manner of the Europeans, even non rock gardeners
will turn their heads.

DRABA AFF. AIZOON ................................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Nice hard spiny cushions with typical yellow draba flowers this is long lived and easy in the
garden.

DRABA AIZOIDES ......................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

An excellent yellow Draba making hard cushions of bristly deep green rosettes topped by
fragrant yellow flowers on short scapes very early in spring. Ours are mobbed by honeybees
each spring when there are still patches of snow on the ground.

DRABA AIZOIDES EX Euroseed .................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

As above but from Mojmir.s collections at 3300m in the Sierra Nevada of Spain, stiff rosettes,
good yellow flowers, this is easy and a rock garden classic.

DRABA ATHOA Euroseed 233 ....................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Native to only a few mountaintops in Greece. Mats of spiny broadish rosettes and little yellow
crosses on 3-inch stems Mojmir collected these at 1900m in the Killini Mts of Greece.

DRABA ATHOA V. LEIOCARPA ................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

A minor variant of the above.

DRABA BRUNIFOLIA SSP OLYMPICA #19 Jurasek ............................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Beautiful dwarf dense cushions of rosettes with stiff ciliate margined linear leaves 3-4mm long
and 3-7 large dark yellow flowers on 1-2cm scapes, a Jurasek collection from the stony eroded
hills of Ulu Dagh at 2300m.

DRABA BRYOIDES IMBRICATA EX SISK.( RIGIDA BRYOIDES) .. PRICE 1@ $6.50

This form makes a hard dome of tiny narrow leaved rosettes, yellow flowers on inch high
thready stems, an outstanding trough plant and much easier to grow than the fuzzy ones. I've
seen numerous plants under this name and this Siskiyou clone is among the best, though
perhaps not as fine as the tightly imbricated form Betty Blake grew nor the Holubec forms, I
would probably have placed it as D. rigida bryoides.

DRABA BRYOIDES CAUCASUS Central Part ........................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Another fine form Holubec collected in the Albrus region Found on silicate rocks the compact
rounded cushions produce large rich yellow flowers on short stems, an excellent easy plant and
the real thing unlike the multitudes of other things posing as this on the seedex lists.

DRABA CAPPADOCICA ............................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Piatek calls it one of the easiest of the elite Drabas, (this form is not as furry as some but it.s still
a fuzz ball and requires care in watering) with tight gray green velvety buns that metamorphose
into yellow mounds early each spring. He collected it on Ercyies Dag at 3000m.

DRABA DEDEANA ......................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

I have high hopes for these, the rosettes are large and very hard looking as good as any stiff
Draba I have ever grown; Mojmir collected them from rock crevices at 1500m near Cuenca
Spain, where they form hard cushions of spiny rosettes 10cm across. They are not wet
sensitive, indeed for such a choice Draba culture is positively easy, flowers are white and the
best forms have huge broad petaled flowers, not the squinny narrow crap you get from the seed
exchanges, Mojmir described these as large flowered, and I am waiting anxiously for the first
flowers this winter. At its best dedeana is the finest of the white flowered Drabas.

DRABA HISPANICA ...................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Collected by Holubec, who based on his bryoides collections has exquisite taste in Drabas; he
collected these from limestone crevices in the Sierra Nevada at 1900m. A long time favorite of
mine, the rosettes of long leaves are quite distinct although in this form they are broader than
most forms I have grown in the past, flowers are bright yellow on 3-5cm stems, this is one of
most elegant of the non fuzz ball Drabas.

DRABA OSSETICA V. RACEMOSA ........................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

The best new Draba we have seen in a long time this started making the rounds a few years
ago, a tight mound of fuzzy foliage that rivals Draba acaulis, excellent white flowers on short
scapes it is destined to become a classic.

DRABA PAYSONII ......................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

This is the tightest of the Pacific Northwest Draba species. The 2-4" silvery hairy gray cushions
are made up if hundreds of tightly packed 1/8" ball like rosettes of tiny imbricate leaves.
Stemless clusters of acid yellow flowers completely cover the cushions in spring.

DRABA RIGIDA #858 ..................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

The real thing with flattish small rosettes Jurasek collections and quite unlike bryoides.

DRABA THYMBRIPYRESTUS .................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Yet another yellow flowered little draba, Rarely offered and quite compact.

DRACOCEPHALUM ARGUNENSE ............................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

An attractive species from Northeastern Asia that is closely related to D. ruyschianum, it forms a
neat dark green mound of foliage topped by terminal spikes of blue flowers.

DROSANTHEMUM HISPIDUM ................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

One of the most exciting new plant introductions, like a miniature Delosperma cooperi, perfect
for troughs, should be fairly hardy if kept dry. We donated a few of these to the local rock
garden society sale & they were scarfed up immediately. Everyone who has seen it wants it, it
blooms continuously, absolutely amazing.

DUDLEYA CYMOSA SSP. PUMILA Ratko #96-225 ................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Ratko calls it the best form he has seen with a candelabra of bright orange-red flowers with a
thick almost translucent texture on short stems; 2" rosettes range in color from a glaucous
silvery blue dusted with white powder to a maroonish olive green, Collected in California at
2,400., he claims its a hardy form.

DUDLEYA CYMOSA SSP. PUMILA Ratko.s 96-226 ................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Definitely the hardiest form collected at 7,200', 2-3 inch candelabras of bright Zauschneria red
flowers on short stems; 2" rosettes are a glaucous silvery blue dusted with white powder,
Collected in California at 7,200'.

DUDLEYA EDULIS 03 247 ............................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Tired of barbequed goat tacos how about Kiviak, a traditional Eskimo Christmas feast that is
sure to get you talked about, it takes a bit of planning. First, kill a seal (clubbing is best as you
want no holes in the skin) skin it out through the mouth to produce a seal shaped bag. Find
some nesting Auks (Puffins or seabirds can work) stuff the seal with whole birds (feathers and
all) along with their eggs and some seaweed. Sew up mouth and bury for eight months or so,
Dig it up and scrape out the resulting goop. Kiviak is great but it needs a little something extra
we suggest you garnish it with Dudleya edulis before serving. You.ll need something special for
desert to get the taste out of your mouth, we suggest fully ripe Durian.

DUGALDIA HOOPSII .................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A RMRP offering of this orange sneezeweed collected in the Sangre de Cristo Mts in damp

EBENUS CRETICA ARCH 428-250 .............................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

An Archibald collection north of Moni, Crete at 125m, it.s one of the most outstanding
chasmophytes native to the limestone gorges of Crete and actually growable, although virtually
unobtainable to all but members of the inner circle. Well maybe I should rephrase that; elite
growers with Archibald.s skill stand a chance of keeping it alive. A dwarf shrubby legume it
forms 20-30cm high compact plants with silky grayish white foliage and dense racemes of bright
pink flowers with papery silvery bracts.

sends up clumps of Bloodroot like leaves rather widely spaced on long underground stolons, the
diaphanous white flowers are in racemes above the foliage, giving a more ornamental effect
than our native species.

EPIMEDIUM

One of my favorite genera in the Berberidacaea, Epimediums are indispensable as
ground covers; they are amazingly drought tolerant once established and perfect in
difficult dry shaded sites although they will tolerate everything from fairly deep
shade to nearly full sun. We particularly like them in conjunction with Cyclamen,
the combination of emerging bronze and red foliage is unforgettable in spring;
many growers cut back the evergreen forms in early spring to better appreciate the
new leaves. Until recently, the selection was a bit slim however there has been a
flood of new material emerging from China in recent years. We are pleased to offer
a number of outstanding newer forms as well as may of the old favorites.
Nomenclature on the new material is still a problem however the new Kew
monograph may improve this situation next year, (it arrived too late for changes),
and please don.t be put off by the confusing inner-sepal spur-petal terminology.
Just enjoy the exotic spidery flowers and the magnificent foliage. Or perhaps take
a walk on the wild side and explore their erotic horny goat weed reputation (as if
goats need help in this regard), while we don.t advocate them as a Viagra
substitute, it may help answer the question of how China got a population that
numbers in the billions, some pharmaceutical company could get rich on this one.

Fantastic as a massed groundcover or bright accent in the woodland, davidii features rather
large long spurred bright yellow flowers held well above the jagged toothed glossy evergreen

Perralderianum x pinnatum colchicum, 'Frohnleiten' is intermediate between the two but with

mounds of spiny green stems that have few leaves most of the year. The axillary clusters of two

plants as we grow them seem quite distinct, reichardii is larger and a bit coarser with larger
white flowers intricately veined and suffused at the base with purple.

ERYNGIUM

Eryngium is a trendy genus in the last few years and justifiably so, wonderful bold
accent plants, taprooted and very drought tolerant. They resent transplanting once
established, and seed can be a challenge to germinate, although plants of most
species present no problems. If you can't make up your mind which one to grow,
do what we do. -- Grow „em all.

ERYNGIUM ALPINUM BLUE STAR ......................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

plant that looks a little menacing (actually so did old Willmott), it is usually monocarpic but self
sows well. Dry stored seed is much more difficult; the easiest way to establish it is to start with
plants. Dry stored seed takes a long time to germinate coming up where the old crone scattered
it in other people.s gardens, well after her passing.

ERYNGIUM MARITIMUM ........................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

The prototype sea holly, a costal plant with attractive glaucous blue stiff and spiny foliage and

a wet spot to achieve maximum size.

EUPATORIUM CANNABINUM ................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A widespread thing ranging from North Africa to Siberia, typical clusters of pink flowers and
foliage that resembles cannabis, to enhance the effect we suggest interplanting it with Rubus
lineatus and Vitex agnus castus.

EUPATORIUM FISTULOSUM ATROPURPUREUM 'GLOW' ............... PRICE 1@ $6.50

The taxonomy these things is making me crazy this is another huge plant that resembles
„Gateway.; I have retained the names I acquired them under. 6. reddish stems pinkish purple
flowers this is a fairly good nectar plant for butterflies.

EUPATORIUM MACULATUM .................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

outstanding wet meadow plant.

EUPATORIUM PURPUREUM ..................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Fantastic 3-4. clumps of chocolate colored foliage topped in August and September by fluffy
corymbs of small white flowers, for what it is worth this has been reclassified as Ageratina
altissima 'Chocolate' indeed it does look a bit like some mutant ageratum.

EUPHORBIA AMYGDALOIDES RUBRA .................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

A tall showy red leafed selection, the lime green heads on 2' stems form an eye-catching
contrast to the red foliage, one of the showiest Euphorbias.

An excellent Euphorbia for foliage effect, 'Chameleon' has unusual purple foliage that greens
out in the more shaded interior of the mound for a unique two-tone effect; stems are topped with
the typical greenish yellow Euphorbia flowers which really stand out against the purple foliage. It
does run by underground stolons but is relatively well behaved at least by Euphorbia standards.

Colorful stems with red margined foliage and the typical orange flowers, its more compact than
Dixter.

EUPHORBIA POLYCHROMA ...................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

variegated forms this is a good performer in the garden.

never seem to have enough, dense shrublets to 10".

Native to the western and central Himal, it forms 50cm mounds of glabrous dark green foliage

Who needs women when you have such a loyal multi purpose beast of burden to haul your
sorry ass from cave to cave, stinking fleshy thick Iranian dildo roots, wait this is getting more
confusing than a Taliban press release. Screw it, by the time you read this they will probably
have vacuum bombed the bastard out of existence anyway.

FESTUCA 'ELIJA BLUE' .............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

This is perhaps the bluest of all the Festuca we grow, neat tufts so blue they look spray -
painted.

FIBIGIA CLYPEATA ...................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A cool crucifer from Italy, with fairly large yellow cruciform flowers followed by cool seed stalks

flowers, a rare prairie species in Michigan with only a few colonies statewide.

FILIPENDULA ULMARIA ALBA PLENA ................................................ PRICE 1@ $12.00

As above but with airy cloud-like masses of double white flowers; this is being distributed by
several large nurseries as Filipendula rubra venusta Alba; no way.

FILIPENDULA ULMARIA AUREA ............................................................ PRICE 1@ $12.00

A nice gold leafed form that we got from Heronswood back in 1998, we finally have enough
divisions to offer it, it has been slow.

FILIPENDULA ULMARIA VARIEGATA .................................................. PRICE 1@ $12.00

Beautiful broad white variegation this can have some of the finest variegated foliage you can
imagine, unfortunately it is not particularly stable and has the annoying habit of changing to
green or nearly green forms. To be its best you must cut out any green shoots once each
season. Punnett had a faster approach he sprayed his entire patch with Roundup. We couldn't
believe it; we had been searching unsuccessfully for propagation stock for a couple of years (he
did bring us one tiny piece he missed.)

GAILLARDIA

A fine Native American plant, Gaillardia is native from western Canada south
to New Mexico. There are actually 20 or so species but the garden forms are
all hybrids or selections of G. aristata. It will bloom for months and months
producing a seemingly endless supply of large brightly colored daisies. It is
best on dry sandy soils and will recover from damage if even a scrap of root is
still alive propagating readily from root cuttings if you wish clonal material or

A hardy species from South Africa with evergreen mats comprised of rosettes of linear leaves
and big gaudy yellow daisies often with interesting basal blotches and markings.

GENTIANA ACAULIS 'RANNOCH' .......................................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

These should probably now be referred to as G. kochiana, however acaulis is such a familiar
name I hate to obliterate it, by any name it is a spectacular gentian, with huge stemless blue
trumpets in spring, occasionally reblooming in fall. This one prefers acid soils and can be finicky
as to site, simply refusing to flower well in some spots and flowering it.s head off in others.

GERANIUM 'BILOKOVA' ............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

We haven.t offered this in nearly 10 years. Dawn saw a stock plant and liked it hence we now

GERANIUM CINEREUM 'BALLERINA' .................................................. PRICE 1@ $12.00

A very good clone resulting from a hybrid between ssp cinnereum and ssp subcaulescens, it.s
slow to increase like the others, yielding few good crown cuttings and not coming from root
cuttings.

GERANIUM CINEREUM 'CAROL' ........................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Another of the new cinerea clones to make the rounds of late. „Carol. is large flowered with light
magenta flowers with a somewhat pale eye produced in abundance from may until fall.

Tidy mounds of gray-green foliage topped for months by numerous dark veined reddish purple

for the larger rock garden, and unlike so many other Geraniums cinereum is not a weed.

marked with deeper veins.

GERANIUM MACRORRHIZUM 'BEVANS' .............................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

flowers held well above the leaves, spectacular when planted en masse. It tolerates dry shade;
the leaves are almost evergreen and have good fall color.

One of the best forms, it's a 2' species from the Mtns of Europe, outstanding groundcover,
tolerant of dry shade. Pretty soft pink flowers, aromatic foliage.

GERANIUM MACROSTYLUM „TALISH. ................................................ PRICE 1@ $12.00

A tuberous species similar to geranium tuberosum but smaller that Janus Ruksins collected in
the Talish Mountains. The finly cut foliage and neat habit make it perfect for a trough and
considering it.s origins it should be fully hardy. I got to meet Janus this year and was very
impressed, a great botanist with funny stories and no love lost for the former Soviet Union

GERANIUM MEEBOLDII ............................................................................... PRICE - $8.00

An outstanding introduction from the Pamirs of Kyrgyzstan, Mojmir found it growing near water
at 3500m, plants resemble a more robust G. cinereum with white flowers on branched stems to
25cm. to the best of our knowledge this is the first time it has been offered in the states, don.t

shaped delicately veined blue flowers an inch and a half or more across; spectacular en-masse.
It often re-blooms in autumn.

GERANIUM PRATENSE 'ALBUM' ............................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

As above but obviously white pratense is lovely with good fall color but a prolific seeder, its
great for naturalizing but take care about where you put it.

GERANIUM PRATENSE „MRS. KENDALL CLARK. ............................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

This is the version the Blooms distributed, violet blue flowers with white veining, not the pearly
gray rose flushed original from Ingwerson, which may be lost to cultivation.

GERANIUM PROSTRATUM ...................................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

It.s a SEX thing seed exchange that is, my advice is to give it some Avadart and hope it stays
small (* women should not handle avadart…bla Bla…)

GERANIUM PSILOSTEMON 'FLUORESCENT' ................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Flourescent is right, hot pink with a black center, they are almost garish, I love them.

GERANIUM RENARDII 'TSCHELDA BLUE' ........................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Naturally occurring blue form of renardii, gorgeous velvety wrinkled crepe like leaves. This was
the most popular geranium in the catalog the last time we listed it.

GERANIUM SANGUINEUM 'STRIATUM' ('LANCASTRIENSE') ..... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Low growing and more compact than the species with pink veined flowers; this is a classic plant
that consistently out performs many of the newer hybrids.

GERANIUM SANGUINEUM 'TINY MONSTER' ...................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Great name remember the 6” tall fear daemon from Buffy the vampire slayer, this is even more
indestructible and not all that tiny.

the stems becoming woody with age; small globular heads of tiny five lobed two lipped blue
flowers are produced on short stems in spring.

the small leathery leaves tightly packed to form impenetrable tangled mats; in the spring round
heads of deep blue flowers rise on inch high stems above the cushion.

GUNNERA PROREPENS ............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $15.00

A creeping little plant found in lowland and subalpine damp or boggy places throughout New
Zealand. The flowers appear from September to January; the attractive orange drupes ripen
from February onwards. This is nothing like it.s huge cousins, a charming well behaved member
of the Haloragidaceae.

GYPSOPHILA

The alpine Gypsophilas don.t get nearly the attention they deserve, the genus
contains some of the finest cushion plants but because they are so easy to
grow the elite rock gardeners focus their attentions elsewhere. The truth is my
cushion of Gypsophila aretioides is still an incredible green rock as hard and
tight as you could possibly wish for long after its Dionysia companions have
turned to mush. The species listed below are more then choice enough for
troughs and perfect for things like model railroad gardens where a neat
compact habit and longevity matters most.

GYPSOPHILA ARETIOIDES ....................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

The gem of the race, cuttings grown from Punnett's plants, this is the ultimate Baby's Breath It
almost never flowers but so what. It would make the ultimate golf green if you could ever grow
enough - no mowing required, ever.

Forming broad intricately branched cushions densely clad in glabrous fleshy three edged
(triquetrous) leaves; briquetiana is endemic to limestone cliffs in Turkey and Central Armenia at

dark green needle–like leaves flowers are relatively large, pinkish white and liberally produced.

GYPSOPHILA IMBRICATA ......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Apparently new to cultivation, it forms compact cushions of linear leaves and dense heads of

elegant species with bamboo like variegated foliage, despite diligent searching for nipples the
origins of the „Aureola. name remain obscure.

HAPLOPAPUS GLUTINOSUS SELECT .................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

I.m not a huge fan of Haplopapus however, glutinosus is generally considered the best of the
160 or so species and this selection John at H&H made from Watson.s wild collections was nice
enough to bring home and propagate.

HEBE .............................................................................. (SEE SHRUB SECTION)

HEDYCHIUM SP. PJ 218 YUNAN 7300' ................................................... PRICE $15.00

A cool ginger from a relatively high altitude collection in Yunan, this is potentially one of the
Hardiest gingers in cultivation. We would love to hear some feedback as to where it proves
hardy.

HELENIUM AUTUMNALE HELENA GOLD TONE ................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Pure gold strain, free blooming, this flowers first year and the entire plant can be cut to form an
instant bouquet. It blooms in late summer when the garden looks a little bare.

HELENIUM AUTUMNALE HELENA ROT TONE .................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A good red version.

HELIANTHEMUM ALPINUM SERPYLLIFOLIUM .................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

John Hargrove gave us this cute little mat former, I suspect the name is invalid however, the
plant is distinct; John is always quick to appreciate a nice tight one.

HELIANTHEMUM 'BURGUNDY DAZZLER. ............................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Burgundy red flowers, ground covering glossy foliage.

HELIANTHUS MOLLIS ................................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Flower Farm, it was worth every penny I paid for it and then some. Tons of dahlia like flowers on
bushy plants in late summer and fall; by far the best of the yellow daisies, this is a must have
plant.

HELICHRYSUM PLICATUM SSP. PLICATUM ....................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A neat little everlasting that Piatek picked up on Boz Dag at 1800m; tufted mounds of lanate–
tomentose foliage and 15cm scapes topped with bright yellow flowers suitable for dried

An outstanding variety from North Creek Nurseries, with red stems and reddish purple foliage in
spring, flowers are golden daises with an orangish red central disc.


HELLEBORUS

These captivating Ranunculus relatives have an almost mythical allure, their
mysterious blooms appear at a time when most respectable plants are still
asleep for the winter. Hellebores, like their Peony and Adonis relatives can be
extremely long lived in the garden, and may well out live the gardener who
planted them. They prefer slightly alkaline soil with plenty of organic matter
but will survive in damn near anything, they will tolerate sun or shade,
although only Helleborus vesicarius will tolerate a hot sunbaked site. The rest
are better with at least some partial shade during the heat of the day.
Adequate moisture is essential during the active growing season but
established plants seem to tolerate summer drought without incident. Fierce
winter winds are to be avoided especially for the evergreen types, it doesn.t
kill them but the foliage will look like crap. Treat them as you would other
broadleaf evergreens.

HELLEBORUS ORIENTALIS BALLARD STRAIN ............................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

Famous strain with large well-rounded flowers that are well displayed.

HELLEBORUS ORIENTALIS 'BLUE LADY' .......................................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

The Lady strain represents the efforts of Gisela Schmiemann, flowers are large and upward or
outward facing with overlapping petals producing about 80% true clear colors from seed (we
have not yet seen these in flower but some may bloom this spring). Blues are not really blue but
shades of slate or purple.

HELLEBORUS ORIENTALIS 'RED LADY' ............................................ PRICE 1@ $19.00

Gisela.s reds are particularly nice with very full flowers ranging from pink to maroon; there are
many clear colors however a fair percentage also show spotting.

HELLEBORUS ORIENTALIS 'YELLOW LADY' .................................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

As above but in shades of yellow. We have not had sufficient quantities of yellow hellebores for
a number of years, yellow is a relatively new color for Hellebores and seed germination has
proven to be even more irregular than normal.

H. ORIENTALIS PHEDAR MIX ................................................................ PRICE 1@ $15.00

Seedlings from Will McLewin, the premier Hellebore grower in England, these should be some
of the best plants you are likely to find in the States. Will is a fanatic collector and has more
genetic diversity in his breeding program and trial beds than any other breeder, for more details
and some stunning color photos of Will's plants pick up a Gardener's Guide to Hellebores.

H. ORIENTALIS PUNNETT.S MIX .......................................................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

Dick grows mostly reds and dark purples so I would expect these colors will predominate but he
does grow a bit of everything and bees will be bees so you never know for sure what will pop
up.

HELLEBORUS DUMETORUM ATRORUBENS ..................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

A petite plant native to Eastern Europe in scrub areas and light woods, it is a delightful little
plant with a quiet charm. This is considered by most authors to be a species in its own right and
is listed as h. atrorubens. However the plant usually offered under this name is H. orientalis ssp
abchasicus, which is a much larger plant. Our stock is out of Germany and seems to be correct,
however it has not yet flowered.

HELLEBORUS CYCLOPHYLLUS ............................................................ PRICE 1@ $19.00

A somewhat tufted stemless species, more or less deciduous from the Balkans, flowers are
fragrant with a strong Elder scent, 6cm wide greenish yellow to white flowers and generally
upward facing, blooming in winter in mild climates, early spring here.

HELLEBORUS FOETIDUS „WESTER FLISK. ....................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

A striking red stemmed selection; these are from Germany and like many of recent plants
circulating under this name posse.s better red color than the original. The material we offer is
not clonal, (I suspect the original plant is lost to cultivation) it self sows rather freely and a
Darwinian pulling inferior seedlings proves quite effective. I suspect solid red leaf forms will
show up eventually.

HELLEBORUS MULTIFIDUS........................................................................ Price 1@ $15.00

Clump forming deciduous species with palm like foliage, these are only moderately cut leafed
compared to some of the forms the Archibalds have collected; flowers are nodding and saucer
shaped.

HELLEBORUS NIGER 'POTTERS WHEEL' Ex Ingwersen ................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

As the story goes, Harry Elkins admired 'Potters Wheel' years ago in old man Ingwersen.s
garden, and managed to talk him into digging a clump (Harry can be very persuasive). In any
event he gave us a piece a few years back and we have been carefully dividing stock ever
since. Here is your chance to acquire pure stock of this legendary plant; most of what is offered
under this name is seed grown and not clonal.

HELLEBORUS ODORUS ........................................................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

Native to southeastern Europe, odorus is similar to cyclophyllus, and it is difficult to separate the
two, but odorus usually has fused follicles and a stronger Elder scent to the flowers.

HELLEBORUS ORIENTALIS SSP ABCHASICUS ............................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

Confined in the wild to the Western Caucasus, abchasicus generally has red tinted flowers with
purple nectaries; this is horribly confused with the plant long grown as atrorubens, which
Mathew places here.

HELLEBORUS PURPURESCENS ................................................................. PRICE $15.00

A very early blooming deciduous species with distinctive palmate foliage, the five main divisions
subdivided into 25 or so leaflets. Flowers are a dark purple blue outside with an almost metallic
sheen and green or purple inside, it prefers considerably more sun than other species and will
do quite well in full sun although it will tolerate light shade.

HELLEBORUS VIRIDIS ............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $15.00

A rather diminutive slow growing species that prefers an alkaline humus rich soil and
considerable shade, the demure deep green flowers posses a quiet charm all their own.

HELLEBORUS X STERNII ........................................................................ PRICE 1@ $15.00

Hybrids between argutifolius and lividus, flowers variable with pink to purple flush over greenish
background probably the longest flowering and most spectacular foliage species we grow. Very
showy foliage often displays the lividus influence, mature size 2'.

HEMEROCALLIS ALTISSIMA HYBRID ................................................. PRICE 1@ $15.00

Curt Hanson brought us this, it is 6. plus tall and pretty impressive, but then again we like all the
weird stuff.

HEMEROCALLIS FULVA FL. PL. ............................................................. PRICE 1@ $12.00

a double or sometimes triple hose in hose form of the common roadside daylilly, it colonizes
quickly and actually get.s quite a bit of comment in our display gardens

HEMEROCALLIS HYB 'CHOCOLATE' .................................................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

Unique among the daylilies we grow, it has unusual chocolate brown flowers. Punnett who
grows very few daylilies brought us this, I would have preferred Gentiana farreri blue but
chocolate is not bad.

HEMEROCALLIS HYB. 'PENNY'S WORTH' ........................................ PRICE 1@ $12.00

Another cute and extremely dwarf daylily Martin brought us, its one of the best dwarf cultivars
we have seen.

HEMEROCALLIS HYB 'POCKET FULL OF GOLD' .............................. PRICE 1@ $12.00

Another of Martin.s dwarf yellow selections, bigger than Penny.s worth and a good rebloomer.

HEMEROCALLIS 'STELLA DE ORO' ........................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Simply the most popular free blooming daylily ever. The #1 plant for landscape use but far
surpassed by „August Orange. in terms of sheer flower production.

HEMEROCALLIS TWEETY ........................................................................ PRICE 1@ $12.00

“Honey, Martin shrunk the Stella”, less than half the size of it with half scale yellow flowers and
the same re-blooming habit, its about as close as you can get to a rock garden daylily. These
were a rapid sellout a couple of years ago and for all of you who have been bugging us for one
ever since here is your chance.

HEMEROCALLIS LONGITUBA ................................................................ PRICE 1@ $15.00

One time at band camp, no wait that was a flute (there should be a clever way to work the
“what.s my name bitch” line in as well) but I digress this is an endemic South Korean species. It
is native on Mt. Chiri where it grows above treeline in association with Hosta.

HEMEROCALLIS MINOR ........................................................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

Wild collections dainty yellow flowered species from Jurasek, these should be the real deal,
which is seldom true in cultivation.

HEMEROCALLIS MULTIFLORUS ............................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

Langhammer brought this pure species to us a few years back. We finally have enough to offer,
branching indeterminate scapes of long tubed small yellow flowers, once it starts it doesn.t quit
blooming; this is my favorite species daylily.

HEMEROCALLIS NANA VAR (2) ............................................................. PRICE 1@ $15.00

These were wild collected out of china, if nothing else they should provide some new genes for
the hybridizers.

HEMEROCALLIS THUNBERGII ............................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Native to Korea and China with short funnelform yellow flowers that posses a wonderful
fragrance, like so many of the species daylilies it is seldom encountered in gardens.

HEMEROCALLIS VESPERTINA ............................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

An Asian species lumped by many into H. thunbergii, it has fragrant yellow flowers that open in
the evening. It is not as showy as some of Curt Hanson.s creations but quietly charming
nonetheless.

HEPATICA ACUTILOBA .............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

This Hepatica forms much stronger clumps than H. americana. The leaves have sharp three
pointed lobes and the white, pale blue, or pink flowers are more numerous than those of
americana. This prefers a more neutral to alkaline soil than H. americana, and here in Michigan
it is a much rarer plant.

HEPATICA ACUTILOBA SELECT BLUE ............................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Our selected blue forms of H. acutiloba, colors range from deep to light blue. We cannot
gurantee a particular shade but all are wonderful, you just can.t have too many blue hepaticas.

HEPATICA AMERICANA ............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

One of my favorite woodlanders, often growing in great abundance on slopes, flower color
ranges from blue to pink and white, rich colored form are highly sought after, foliage too can be
variable and many plants show excellent mottling on the leaves.

HEPATICA AMERICANA BLUE SHADES .............................................. PRICE 1@ $12.00

As above but selected from Hepatica americana.

HEPATICA NOBILIS DARK MAGENTA ................................................. PRICE 1@ $19.00

Spectacular dark flowered form of the European nobilis, These are rarely offered gems, this
may be a one time listing and supplies are limited.

HERACLEUM LEHMANIANUM .................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Large umbels of pale pinkish flowers on 6' plants, incredibly fragrant one packet of seed
perfumes a whole room.

HEUCHERA HALLII ...................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Creamy white bells above tufts of scalloped leaves hallii has long been a favorite of ours. At one
time Brigitta raised a spectacular form, which we foolishly neglected to propagate.

HEUCHERA PARVIFOLIA ........................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

A nice little western species native in Montana and Idaho with compact foliage topped by rather
tall sprays of white flowers.

HEUCHERA PARVIFOLIA V NIVALIS ...................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

A variety of the above from the neme you can expect it to be more beautiful.

HEUCHERA PULCHELLA ALBA ................................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

We had a white one show up; luckily, we caught it before it was shipped out with the other pink
ones.

HEUCHERA RUBESCENS V ALPICOLA Ratko 98-320 ......................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Ron found these tucked between the boulders on north facing cliffs at 9300. on Bald Mt.
billowing over the mats and cascading down the boulders they produced a frothy waterfall of
white spray; a particularly floriferous nearly pure white colony.

HEUCHERA VILLOSA .................................................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

The large, fuzzy, gray-green leaves set villosa apart from all of the others. The midsummer
white flowers are also attractive, this really needs woodland conditions to do well.

HIBISCUS 'CRANBERRY CRUSH' .......................................................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

An outstanding new Hibiscus courtesy of Walters Gardens. Walters has one of the best plant
breeding teams on the planet, especially after the recent addition of Hans Hanson formerly of
Shady Oaks, Clarence, Kevin and Hans should make quite a team. Cranberry Crush is
fantastic, Compact 2-3. clumps of deep green leaves with purple overtones, this flowers for
months forming near black buds at every node. These open to display a continuous succession
of 7-8” deep scarlet fully rounded flowers...


HIBISCUS 'JAZZBERRY JAM' ................................................................ PRICE 1@ $19.00

Walters evaluated thousands of Hibiscus seedlings ( we donated a few plants to this effort), and
from these many seedlings they selected this large pinkish magenta plant with a red eye and 9”
heavily ruffled round flowers and overlapping petals. A stunning landscape specimen this grows
4-5. in a single season. If you live in areas that have Hibiscus Sawfly a single spray will usually
control them. If you don.t want to spray plants will look a bit moth-eaten until they grow new
leaves but will survive unharmed. My impression is this and some of the other new cultivars are
less bothered by pests than some of the older varieties, I never spray ours in the landscape and
they still manage an impressive floral display.

HIBISCUS 'SUMMER STORM .................................................................. PRICE 1@ $19.00

Yet another excellent selection from Walters, a compact clone with deep wine purple foliage and
huge 10” rose pink flowers bloodshot veined with deeper pink radiating from a deep magenta
eye. This is one of the longest blooming cultivars and extremely floriferous.

HIBISCUS SEEDED FROM NAMED FORMS ........................................ PRICE 1@ $12.00

We raised these from some of the better named forms, open pollinated but all the parents were
nice.

HIERACIUM ALBIFLORUM ........................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

A white flowered hawkweed, easy like all the rest.

HIERACIUM MACULATUM LEOPARD .................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

I'm usually not a big lover of hawkweeds but this is a nice one worthy of a place in the catalog.
The grey green leaves are irregularly splashed with purple, superglued to your cloths they
should make an interesting camo outfit; I digress, they may look better in the garden.

HIERACIUM PANOSUM .............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

A dwarf bright yellow hawkweed, it is one of the more attractive species and worth a try if you
are looking for something new, it hasn.t been a weedy menace for us.

HIERACIUM TARDA ..................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

According to Punnett, this is the cream of the crop; indeed most of the hawkweeds are exactly
that; weeds (according to the RHS index of garden plants approximately 10000 different species
of weeds). I find that number a bit hard to believe, but whatever the species total this is a very
choice rock garden specimen that ranks very near the top.

HIPPOCREPIS BALEARICA ..................................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

A perfect corona of radiant outward facing golden pea flowers opening simultaneously for a
unique and very photogenic floral effect, this is a great little legume that deserves a wider
audience.

HIPPOCREPIS COMOSA 'ER JAMES. ..................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Forms yard wide mats of glaucous low foliage; E. R. James has lighter yellow flowers than the
species. It has survived for years Punnett.s mix of benign neglect and periodic Roundup
spraying of things, which have fallen from favor so it must have some merit (you simply wouldn't
believe the stuff he has sprayed out or chopped down).

HORMIUM PYRENAICUM ......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Evergreen rosettes like a huge Ramonda give rise to 1' stems of blue or pink mint like flowers.
This showy plant is unique, indeed they even gave it its own genus and you know how much we
like monotypic.

HOSTA

If not overdone, Hostas can present a spectacular accent in a shady garden.
Poorly laid out and overdone with prominent labeling, they can be hideous.
We have tried to offer a sampling of the range of foliage types available,
focusing mostly on classic plants along with some moderately priced newer
introductions. We have attempted to select the best in each category, and
tried to avoid the yet another gold edged green Hosta with a new name and a
$200 price tag. It was a daunting task to narrow the list of available and
moderately priced plants to just the very best, we think we did a good job. Be
wary when price shopping as you may receive a tiny plant barely out of the
tissue culture tube, but ours are all large divisions and many have multiple
eyes. One of these years we will get around to releasing the Arrowhead Yet
Another series (® never to be applied for) yet another blue, yet another gold
edged etc.

HOSTA „AUGUST MOON. ......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Gold leafed sieboldiana, large yellow seer-suckered leaves almost white flowers.

HOSTA 'BABY BUNTING' ......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

The dwarf solid blue plant that sported Pandora.s box and Hope, it is a nice small Hosta.

HOSTA 'BLACK HILLS' ............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $20.00

An award winning plant with large dark green puckered and heavily corrugated leaves, a nice
contrast to all the variegated plants you tend to see in Hosta collections.

HOSTA 'BLUE MOUSE EARS' ................................................................. PRICE 1@ $19.00

The small blue green thick textured leaves are cute indeed but oviously whoever named it has
never looked closely at a mouse ear.

HOSTA 'BRIM CUP' .................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

A sport of Wide Brim with very wide yellow variegation and cupped leaves, it is a standout, not
"Yet another gold variegated Hosta".

HOSTA 'CAROLINA SUNSHINE' ............................................................ PRICE - $24.00

The Walters Crew was out and intimated that are Hosta selection while classic could use some
updating, this is one of a dozen or so new additions that they are responsible for, Carolina
Sunshine is one of Tony Avents creations with long dark green leaves bearing a broad yellow
margin, It holds up well in summer heat. A classy plant from a classy guy, Tony was quick to
offer support after I got ill and gave us several nice plugs in his newsletter. We wish Tony and
his wife the best, He knows what it is like since his wife Michelle just finished a round of chemo
and appears cancer free.

HOSTA „CAT.S EYE. ................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $25.00

Venusta with a broad creamy center, this is one of the best dwarf Hostas we have seen in
years, for a change it lives up to the Terra Nova photo, a truly outstanding plant.

HOSTA 'CHERRY BERRY' ........................................................................ PRICE 1@ $20.00

Outstanding hybrid from Lachman, narrow lance shaped leaves edged in deep green and
creamy in the center sets off the red petioles and red marked flower scape; striking plant.

HOSTA 'CHINESE SUNRISE' ................................................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

A variegated hybrid of Hosta cathayana bred by Gus Krossa, it is an interesting small plant that
seems to be experiencing a resurgence in popularity.

HOSTA 'COLOR GLORY' ........................................................................... PRICE 1@ $25.00

A nice gold margined sieboldiana type from Paul Aden that dates back to 1980, we deem it
worthy of garden space.

HOSTA 'DIANA REMEMBERED' ............................................................. PRICE - $24.00

A John Kulpa plant, shiny green leaves edged in creamy whith with 3. fragrant white flowers,
another new one to add to our Hosta upgrade. It.s a great plant despite the somewhat sappy
name which will probably still sell like crazy.

HOSTA 'DIXIE CHICKADEE' ................................................................... PRICE - $28.00

A cute little semidwarf plant from Tony, narrow leaves with a creamy central stripe streaked and
flecked with green. We have Black Capped Chickadees and occasionally Boreal Chickadees in
winter but I.m a little shaky when it comes to Dixie chickadees although I have heard they are
sexually promiscous and polyandrous.

HOSTA 'EARTH ANGEL' ........................................................................... PRICE - $ 24.00

Han.s sport of Blue Angel, a large showy plant with chartruse margins in spring that gradually
change to creamy white. This will grow 20x40 inches and makes an imposing specimen. Hosta
names are a culture unto themselves, personally I would have gone with Avenging Angel or
Angel of Death, or perhaps Mindfreak for a more obtuse reference, I.m not that much into 50.s
do wap.

HOSTA 'ELVIS LIVES' ............................................................................... PRICE 1@ $25.00

Brigitta couldn't resist Tony Avent's seductive name, wavy margined arching leaves, 'Elvis Lives'
is still fairly new; it is true, Elvis has been sighted leaving the nursery.

HOSTA 'FAIR MAIDEN' ............................................................................... PRICE 1@ $25.00

The bold streaky cream edged variegation stands out in a crowd.

HOSTA 'FIRE AND ICE' ............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $20.00

Patriot reversed, this is one of the showiest Hostas we grow, much preferable to Patriot.

HOSTA 'FRAGRANT BLUE' ...................................................................... PRICE 1@ $20.00

Small to medium clumps of pointed very blue leaves and white fragrant flowers.

HOSTA 'FRAGRANT BOUQUET' ............................................................. PRICE 1@ $25.00

Spectacular light green leaves with a narrow yellow to white margin and long tubed very fragrant
white flowers, a must have for every shade garden.

HOSTA „FRANCEE. ..................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

Excellent sun tolerance, deep green with a fine white edge, Patriot sported from this.

HOSTA „FRANCIS WILLIAMS. .................................................................. PRICE 1@ $19.00

The classic gold edged sieboldiana, it is old but still very popular.

HOSTA 'FROSTED JADE' .......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $20.00

A Eunice Fisher award winner, jade green leaves with a white margin, it resulted from a cross
between H. montana and a Krossa B-1 hybrid.

HOSTA SIEBOLDII 'GINGKO CRAIG' ...................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Narrow leaves with fine white margins; it is a classic edging Hosta.

HOSTA 'GREAT EXPECTATIONS' .......................................................... PRICE 1@ $20.00

In my estimation, the finest variegated Hosta. A gold centered sieboldiana, the foliage is heavy
textured and seer-suckered at maturity and the streaky variegation is almost tricolor with many
subtle shadings, it is fairly slow growing but worth the wait.

HOSTA 'GUACAMOLE' ............................................................................... PRICE 1@ $20.00

Green on green variegate with a cute name, it is very popular but doesn.t do much for me,
perhaps I lack the subtle Hosta appreciation gene.

HOSTA 'HEAVENLY TIARA' .................................................................... PRICE - $ 24.00

A Walters sport of grand Tiarra, heavy textured leaves with wide light yellow margens by
summer the center turns chartruse and the margins fade to white. To properly appreciate this
magical transformation sit and watch closely on a night with a full moon while listining to
Metallica Fade to Black and concentrate on the inverse. By morning it will either be white or you
will be white from being sucked dry by hords of mosquitoes.

HOSTA 'HI HO SILVER' ............................................................................ PRICE - $ 24.00

A smaller sport of Ginko Craig, yes quimo sabe it has the same long leaves with wavy white
margins and intense purple flowers, This works best not as a Lone Ranger but massed on the
border. We suggest tearing down our version of the Berlin Wall and planting the Mexican border
with these, equally effective and lots cheaper according to Tonto.

HOSTA 'HOPE' ............................................................................................. PRICE 1@ $25.00

An outstanding miniature from Shady Oaks, a reversed sport of „Pandora.s Box., both of which
are out of „Baby Bunting., greenish blue centered leaves with a bold creamy yellow edge
streaking into the area where they merge.

HOSTA 'INNISWOOD' ................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $25.00

Seersuckered gold leaves with green margins make this a standout, the more I see it; the better
I like it.

HOSTA 'IVORY COAST' ............................................................................ PRICE - $ 24.00

A superior sport of Sage, my favorite specimen Hosta, Huge bluish green leaves margined
broadly in yellow which changes to cream latter in summer, If you want a big hosta that will stop
traffic look no further,

HOSTA 'JUST SO' ....................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $20.00

I'd rate this the best of the dwarf gold-centered green-edged Hostas, I like way the gold
centered ones catch the light and brighten a shady garden.

HOSTA 'KIRISHIMA' ..................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Named for a volcanic mountain in South-Central Kyushu, it is intermediate between H. 'Saishu
Jiima' and H. 'Yakushima Mizu'.

HOSTA 'KROSSA REGAL' ......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

Krossa is no more but his Hosta lives on also his house in Livonia is up for sale, complete with
more state record trees than any other property in Michigan. Neighbors have ripped off a lot of
the small stuff but it is still an incredible collection of plants. Contact Jim Langhammer if you
want details of what all is there.

HOSTA 'LITTLE TREASURE' .................................................................. PRICE - $ 28.00

A sport of Little Jay with small thick pointed blue green leaves broadly centered with a strip of
white, this is an excellent small hosta and quite vigorous, even the purple flowers look good.

HOSTA 'MASQUERADE' ............................................................................ PRICE 1@ $15.00

A white centered sport of Hosta venusta with a fine green edge, it looks a bit like a miniature
White Christmas, they were a sellout the last time we offered them.

HOSTA 'MEDUSA' ....................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $20.00

A gracillima hybrid with extremely long snaky leaves with a rippling green margin surrounding a
yellow center and topped by purple flowers, the name brings back memories of one of the best
hunting hawks I ever owned.


HOSTA 'MIGHTY MOUSE' ........................................................................ PRICE - $ 30.00

This Walters sport of blue mouse ears is perfect for troughs, it features heavy thick bluish leaves
broadly margined yellow in spring fading to cream later in summer. purple flowers on short
scapes complete the picture. This is destined to be a classic rock garden hosta,

HOSTA 'MILLIES MEMOIRS' ................................................................... PRICE 1@ $30.00

A mutation of Aspen Gold with thick heavily puckered and seersuckered leaves slightly cupped
at the edges, dark green centers with a broad gold margin, an outstanding tokudama, named for
one of the founders of Shady Oaks.

HOSTA 'MINUTEMAN' ............................................................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

A sport out of Patriot with more cupping in the leaves, it is not hugely different but I like it.

HOSTA 'NORTHERN EXPOSURE' .......................................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

A white emargined sieboldiana, its a nice variation on the Frances Williams theme; this is more
stable and a better performer than some of the other plants in the northern series, a decent
plant with a good name.

HOSTA 'OLD GLORY' ................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $40.00

Han.s beautiful edged sport of „Glory. with the original thick golden leaf, margined with a 1”
green band, a good grower with very heavily textured foliage, we think it is destined to become
a classic.

HOSTA 'ON STAGE' ................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $30.00

The reversed form of the classic Montana Aureo-marginata, Yellow centers turn white later in
the year, the large clumps will stop traffic.

HOSTA 'PANDORA'S BOX' ....................................................................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

Considered one of the best small Hostas, small rounded leaves with a splash of white
variegation in the center, it is indeed very beautiful, but like so many of the variegates it can be
a bit variable.

HOSTA 'PATRIOT' ...................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Excellent landscape plant, a sport of Francee with wide white margins somewhat panned by the
cognoscenti because of the way it was introduced. It auctioned initially for $800.00 or so, and
the market was flooded a year later by a zillion tissue cultured ones before the mid level
pyramid people could make a buck.

HOSTA 'PAULS GLORY' ........................................................................... PRICE 1@ $30.00

Another choice gold centered green edged plant smaller than On Stage and very highly
regarded.

HOSTA 'PIZZAZZ' ....................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

A blue, with wavy creamy white margins and dense masses of white flowers, big leaves with
good substance, a contender in the yet another edged sieboldiana sweepstakes.

HOSTA 'QUEEN JOSEPHINE' ................................................................ PRICE 1@ $15.00

Craig Masching made us add this one so it must be choice but for the life of me, I can't
remember what the damn thing looks like. Look it up yourself, I have Hosta burnout; we only
picked choice and unique ones but it is still hard to say something different about each of them.
We have plans to introduce the Arrowhead 'Yet Another series' Yet Another Blue' 'Yet Another
White Variegated' etc. to avoid this problem in the future.

HOSTA 'RED ALERT' ................................................................................. PRICE - $ 28.00

A variegated sport of Katsuragawa Beni, pointed green leaves with a narrow yellow margin and
a deep red petiole that extends up into the leaf, a great starting point if you want to breed a red
leaved hosta. and speaking of red alerts in less time than it takes to breed a red hosta the
iranians can build a boosted fission weapon, levitated pit, 3-4 megatons and fairly portable

HOSTA 'REPTILIAN' .................................................................................. PRICE 1@ $25.00

Aptly named with warty scaly looking bluish gray foliage, cupped and puckered on the margins,
with reddish petioles and flower stems, mature plants have a lot of character.

1996 Hosta of the year large fragrant flowers and good variegation all in one plant.

HOSTA 'STILETTO' .................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Long narrow dagger like leaves with a white wavy edge, a nice contrast with wide leaves.

HOSTA 'TATTOO' ....................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $25.00

Tony Avent.s outstanding sport of „Little Aurora., gold centered leaves with a broad irregular lime
green edge, what makes it unique is the dark green overlay markings. Tony claims they look like
maple leaves, and given the variability in Acer I guess that is safe.

HOSTA 'TINY TEARS' ............................................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Very tiny like a diminutive venusta, it is perfect in a trough.

HOSTA 'WARWICK DELIGHT' ................................................................. PRICE 1@ $20.00

An exciting plant from Gil Jones, it is a hybrid of blue moon; although you wouldn.t guess that
looking at it; broad creamy white centers surrounded by a streaky dark green margin, it forms a
relatively small compact clump in the garden

HOSTA 'WIDE BRIM. .................................................................................. PRICE 1@ $15.00

Green center wide margins of creamy yellow, an older variety but still very nice.

HOSTA 'WOGAN' ........................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $12.00

Medium sized Japanese Hosta, its cute but not stunning, falls in my yet another Hosta category.

HOSTA 'WOLVERINE' ................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $30.00

An excellent new plant from our friends Jim and Sandy Wilkins, blue lance shaped leaves
bordered in gold, a standout.

HOSTA CLAUSAV. CLAUSA ...................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Similar to lancifolia but with tall scapes of reddish purple flowers that never open noted for its
very long stolons; Korea 1930, very rare in the wild.

A.K.A. Hosta angustifolia, A.K.A. Hosta sieboldii f lancifolia, A.K.A. Hosta japonica f typica,
A.K.A. Funkia ovata var lancifolia, A.K.A. Funkia japonica f typica, A.K.A. Funkia japonica,
A.K.A. Funkia lancifolia; all in all, the taxonomy is pretty Funkiad up.

HOSTA KIKUTII 'KIFUKURAN' .............................................................. PRICE 1@ $15.00

Named variegated forms of species Hosta are not very common, this is unusual, attractive, and
very garden worthy; the Japanese know how to pick em.

HOSTA MINIMA ............................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

We raised this from British seed, minima is a species of somewhat dubious status sitting close
to venusta, whatever its taxonomic standing it is a tiny little plant, worth growing.

HOSTA MONTANA AUREOMARGINATA ............................................. PRICE 1@ $19.00

Our most popular Hosta here at the nursery, still selling for high prices years later, possibly the
best large gold edged Hosta.

HOSTA PLANTAGINEA 'APHRODITE' ................................................... PRICE 1@ $30.00

A beautiful hose in hose double form of H. plantaginea grandiflora it is perhaps the most lovely
of all the Hostas in terms of flowers.

HOSTA PLANTAGINEA GRANDIFLORA ............................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Huge fragrant white flowers in late summer always in demand we sell out as soon as customers
smell ours in the garden; I'd take this over many of the new high priced introductions.

HOSTA ROHDEIFOLIA ............................................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

A medium sized green species introduced in Japan by Fumio Maekawa in 1940, but remaining
scarce in collections to this day.

HOSTA TOKUDAMA 'FLAVOCIRCINALIS' ........................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

Dwarf and slow growing this is like a miniature Frances Williams, it has been around a long time
but its slow rate of increase has kept it a desirable and uncommon plant.

HOSTA TSUSHIMENSIS P.U. STRIPE .................................................. PRICE 1@ $15.00

A named form of a rarely seen species Hosta from the Tsushima Islands in the Korean strait, it
has not yet flowered for us, a rarity that you are not to likely encounter locally.

HOSTA VENTRICOSA 'AUREOMARGINATA' ...................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

Another variegated species Hosta, ventricosa is difficult to tissue culture and slow to increase, it
eventually makes huge clumps of heavily ribbed leaves that are absolutely stunning. A must-
have plant on everyone's list.

HOSTA VENUSTA ........................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

One of the tiniest Hostas from Korea and Japan, small enough for the rock garden these have a
high cute quotient.

HOSTA VENUSTA 'KIN BOTAN' ............................................................. PRICE 1@ $15.00

Yinger has been distributing this, and we could not resist; a nice gold edged form of the
“thumbnail Hosta”; the large pinkish purple flowers seem huge next to the miniscule plants.
Ender tried to translate 'Kin Botan' on the web and it is either small button or small tree peony.

HOSTA VENUSTA 'PORTER ' .................................................................. PRICE 1@ $15.00

One of the smallest venusta forms, this is a perfect trough Hosta, when grown in the sun it really
tightens up but it seems to tolerate such abuse and still thrive.

HOSTA YINGERI DJH 270 .......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

From a Hinkley collection on Taehuksan Island in Korea at 1200. on dry rocky cliffs, it is named
for Barry Yinger and an excellent species Hosta.

HOUSTONIA SERPYLLIFOLIA .................................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

Back again, we almost lost all of this a couple of years ago but we saved some and once again
have enough to offer. Flat mats very tight and dense with teeny tiny leaves, the cushions are
covered with blue flowers; the plants in our woodland trough evoke a great deal of favorable
comment.

HOUTTUYNIA CORDATA FLORA PLENA .............................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

A double flowered form Dick brought in with quite attractive flowers, it has been very slow and
restrained for us, on the other hand I think Punnett sprayed his patch with Roundup.

HYPERICUM YAKUSIMENSE (Pseudopetiolatum yakusimense) .............. PRICE 1@ $6.50

A neat mat former related to kiusianum, staring at this miniscule St. Johns-Wort creeping over
the edge of a trough is more likely to calm your nerves than drinking some disgusting tasting tea
made from some weedy species.

IBERIS SAXITILIS ......................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

This is the best bunch of saxitilis seedlings we have had in several years, nice compact plants
we would select a clone to name if only we could make up our mind which one.

IBERIS SEMPERVIRENS COMPACTUM ................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

As you might expect this is a dwarf form that may well have some saxitilis in its background, its
Dick.s favorite dwarf candytuft.

IBERIS SEMPERVIRENS PYGMAEA ........................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

Another almost prostrate clone only 2" high, with pure white flowers, blooms earlier than
sempervirens and like the species tends to re-bloom in the fall.

shearing into low formal hedges, abundant clusters of snow-white flowers.

IMPERATA CYLENDRAICA 'RED BARON' ........................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

The well-known Japanese Blood grass, its hardy but can take quite a beating during a hard
winter and is probably better a bit south of us, but for a perennial grass in that color range,
nothing else even comes close.

Looking a bit like an enlarged arguta, it is much hardier, but not as free with its pink trumpets.
This is the most permanent Incarvillea in our gardens.

INCARVILLEA ZHONGDIANENSIS .............................................................. PRICE $8.00

Spectacular, this is by far my favorite of the mairei like types, crimson-magenta Deep-Throated
Lovelace flowers with white guidelines pointing to the sexy yellow throats. (Pollinated by
massive bees that are a bit slow when it comes to oral sex).


IRIS

A genus of 250 plus species running the gamut from aquatics to desert bulbs,
there is so much diversity that general comments are meaningless. I would
urge gardeners to sample a few plants from the various sections of the genus,
most only grew a few bearded hybrids or Siberians and there are so many
garden worthy plants that are never even attempted. This season we have a
fantastic selection of West Coast species thanks to Ron Ratko.s untiring
efforts and generosity. The Czechs too have collected some wonderful new
things. Don.t be too intimidated by European pronouncements concerning the
growability of various species, a friend and local grower, Brian Radford is
growing a wide selection of Oncocyclus species with considerable success
outdoors, despite what the pundits might say. If Onco.s are possible, the rest
should be effortless.

IRIS PACIFIC COAST HYBRIDS ............................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A mix of hybrids from the series californicae with flat flowers and usually evergreen clumps of
leaves, they seem to prefer acid sandy soils and are borderline hardy here although they usually
make it.

IRIS APHYLLA ............................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

An unusual species ranging from the Caucasus into Eastern Europe, it is distinct in its section
being the only member that goes completely leafless in winter, flowers are typically in some
shade of blue or purple.

A maroon red tall bearded the speckled flowers have a white with red speckled bee guide on the
falls.

IRIS CONFUSA .............................................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Wild collected in China, like so much of what comes out of China the name is open for debate.
These flowered for the first time in 2003 and created quite a stir here, flat white flowers
intricately marked with blue blotching and speckling. It seems fairly growable and is definitely
exotic looking.

IRIS CRETENSIS .......................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

In the wild, it is found on grassy alpine meadows; leaves are small narrow and upright, flowers
violet with yellow veination. Native to Crete and on the tender side, it is a winter bloomer in the
alpine house. Ours survived -29f in an unheated polyhouse last winter - reports of tenderness
may be premature.

IRIS CRISTATA .................................................................................................. PRICE $8.00

Cute dwarf Iris with multitudes of the rarest crumpled powder blue flowers crested with gold on
6" stems; it will form large mats quickly. This easy to grow species has a lot more charm than
the bearded monstrosities.

IRIS CRISTATA ALBA BRIGGS FORM ...................................................... PRICE $12.00

Jim Brought us this years ago, although he claims not to remember, we put it in the corner of
one of our big troughs and it covered a big chunk if it, everyone who sees it in flower has
bugged us for a piece, and we finally got around to propagating it. It was a huge hit and we sold
too much, it has taken us several years to once again offer it.

IRIS CRISTATA GIGANTEA EX DICK ........................................................ PRICE $12.00

This is a large and extremly vigorous form from Punnett, It has been in Brigittas woodland
garden and we finally dug some to propagate since it was encroatching on other things.

IRIS CYCLOGLOSSA ...................................................................................... PRICE $19.00

A fantastic Juno collected southwest of Herat in Afghanistan by Wendelbo in 1975 in a damp
grassy habitat very unusual for a Juno, It is extremely local and endemic only to this one small
region. It is also distinct in that it is the only Juno with upright standards. Flowers are blue with a
distinctive clove scent, very weird for a Juno, they appear more xiphium-like than Juno;
definitely not a plant for beginners.

IRIS DOUGLASIANA .................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A fairly narrow West Coast endemic, often growing right up to the ocean. It hybridizes readily
with the other pacific coast species. Flower color is variable, white to pink to blue and all shades
in between, but often with attractive vein patterns. Evergreen and named for Douglas of
Douglas fir fame.

IRIS FOETIDISSIMA ..................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

An interesting plant commonly known as the Gladden or Roast Beef Plant (believe it or not the
bruised leaves are supposed to smell like roast beef. Yah right). Foetidissima is cultivated
primarily for its attractive orange seeds. The flowers are a typical blue or a creamy white and
quite attractive in a species Iris way. Their scent however is odd and has been compared to
Scoliopus bigelovii or disinfectant (it sounds like Cruise Ship food after Norwalk Virus cleanup).

IRIS FORRESTII ............................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Native of southwest China occurring at up to 4,000m it is in the Siberian-chrysographes section.
One of only two yellow flowered species in the group (wilsonii is the other) easy in full sun and
moist soils and looks good near ponds has been hybridized with California Iris to create
Calisbes.

IRIS FULVA .................................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

A classic Louisiana Iris with unusual coppery orange flowers, it is one of the hardiest of the
group and a startling sight in the garden. If you want to try Louisiana Iris in the North, this would
be a good starting place, its almost as much fun as gators and Mardi Gras beads, well maybe.

IRIS GRAMINEA ............................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Plum scented Iris, clumps of 8-12" slender leaves, blue violet flowers on 4-8" stems down in the
foliage. Tolerates dryness and is suitable for large rock gardens.

Jurasek.s collections of this dwarf (5-25cm) Aril iris in the section Psammiris, it is taxonomically
closest to the Regalia section but quite distinct. Flowers are generally yellow with orange beards
on the falls and squat looking standards usually one or two per scape however the plant is
rather wide ranging and there are numerous forms that have at times been split off (I. flavissima,
I. arenaria, I. pineticola etc). It is somewhat stoloniferus and will clump up if happy, although
even Brian Matthew finds it difficult to grow.

IRIS HYB 'BATIK' ........................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $15.00

A blue tall bearded heavily streaked with white, very showy.

IRIS HYB 'OYEZ' ......................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

producing attractive satiny blue orange bearded flowers in May; sunny rock gardens.

IRIS JAPONICUM .......................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Brigitta and Dick had me convinced at one point that this was tectorum, however it actually is
japonicum. Flowers are gorgeous intricately marked flat affairs much freer blooming than the
variegated form, that extra chlorophyll definitely helps.

IRIS JAPONICUM VARIEGATUM ............................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

Brigitta and Dick had me convinced at one point that this was tectorum, however it actually is
japonicum, one of the most attractive variegated Iris, the dwarf extremely stoloniferus plants

gorgeous intricately marked flat affairs.

IRIS KAEMPFERI VARIEGATA .................................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

Variegated form of Japanese Iris, these are not as showy as pallida variegata, the variegation
tends to fade out in summer.

IRIS KAEMPFERI SAMURAI ARROWHEADS ........................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

and population reference number to avoid confusion.

IRIS MILESII WILD ............................................................................................ PRICE $8.00

Pardanthopsis, but related to tectorum and the only other plant sharing its section these are

areas that are vernally wet. It.s a cute little Western American wildflower that is under
appreciated by Iris fanciers.

IRIS MONNIERI .............................................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

A beautiful yellow Spuria, monnieri is probably a hybrid between Iris orientalis and Iris
xanthospuria both of which are native to Turkey; other authorities believe I. crocea may be
involved, whatever it is an excellent garden specimen with an air of mystery about it.

IRIS ORIENTALIS ......................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Another big spuria related to crocea but not as big, 70cm flowers white with a large central
yellow blotch.

IRIS PALLIDA „ALBO VARIEGATA. .......................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

even when not in bloom. One of the most stunning variegated plants, especially attractive when
planted in large drifts.

IRIS PALLIDA „AUREO VARIEGATA. ..................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Much less common in gardens the gold edged version provides an elegant contrast to Iris
pallida „Albo Variegata., we have been hoarding this for years and have finally built up enough
to offer it, depending on its popularity it may not reappear again for several years, it is slow to
increase.

IRIS PRISMATICA ALBA ............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Doesn.t the name sound enchanting? The actual plants fall a little short of rainbow hues but
form runnery mats with clusters of grass-like leaves bearing striking white flowers. Reminiscent
of a Siberian Iris they have a reputation for being hard to transplant but we have had no
problems.

IRIS PUMILA ................................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A slender Spuria from the Balkans where it grows in dry scrub, it has a tufted habit and is only
10-30cm high when in flower; the color appears an almost metallic deep violet-blue from a
distance, with white falls so heavily veined with violet it obscures their true nature.

IRIS SPURIA .................................................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

The Butterfly Iris, a wide ranging complex species ranging from Sweden to Central Spain; they
like a warm site and moisture during the growing season, but dry during flowering. Coloration is
quite variable spurias are heavy feeders and enjoy some manure.

anywhere else, but still contains some very attractive plants.

Seedlings from a range of the better garden hybrids; these should produce some nice forms, the

As above but the normal blue flowered wild type.

IRIS UNGUICULARIS ................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Wild out of China this huge Evansiana can reach 2m if happy, although I doubt it will ever
approach that here. Flowers are similar to confusa but larger with falls that hang vertically. It

Bet you can.t say galeobdelon three times fast Herman could and he was proud, this tongue
twister is an excellent mat forming perennial for shade, the narrow toothed leaves are heavily
spotted and streaked with silver, verticillasters of yellow flowers speckled with brown are a nice
added touch but it is the foliage that is the star here.

LAMIUM GARGANICUM .............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

When you hear the word Lamium do trashy garden center groundcovers come to mind, think
again, or better still peek at plate 238 in the AGS Encyclopedia and be careful not to drool on
your pricey book; from Piatek.s collections on Bolkar Dagh at 2400m.

LAMIUM MACULATUM 'ANNE GREENWAY' ......................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

foliaged Dead Nettle with attractive purple flowers, and best of all no stinging hairs. Which is
great, unless you happen to be into that whole mediaeval masochistic stinging nettle breast
enlargement thing, but I digress, this is a nice little ground cover for shade that will harm no one
except of course the tortoise shell larva who need the real thing or they will starve.

LAMIUM MACULATUM 'PURPLE DRAGON' .......................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Much like the above but with dark purple flowers.

LAMIUM ORVALA ....................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Orvala is cool with bold foliage and fantastic flowers, it has been very slow to get going for us
although Dick.s plants have clumped up nicely, the only possible complaint is that the 4.5cm
long flowers are a bit obscured by the foliage.

LAMPRANTHUS HAWORTHII .................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Dense light gray pruniose cylindrical leaves; large purplish flowers to 7cm across.

LANCEA TIBETICA ....................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

species occur, and are differentiated from Mazus by the globular seed pod which does not split
when ripe. Mojmir found it growing near water at 4500m in the Ladakh range, flowers are two
lipped, bright blue to mauve purple, and borne horizontally just above the creeping mats of
foliage.

LASERPITIUM LATIFOLIUM ....................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

umbel if ever there was one.

LASERPITIUM SILER ................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

What do you get when you shoot a ruby laser at a hardened missile silo? Laserpitium silo,
changing to a deuterium-fluoride laser results in lasermeltium silo, but I digress we.re talking
plants here not directed energy weapons and Mach 16 magneto hydrodynamic enhanced
scramjets. But hey, this is a big border perennial thing and fairly kick-ass in its own right- think of
it as a photosynthetic Death Star.

LAVANDULA DENTATA „JOHN'S VARIEGATED. ................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

John calls it barely frost hardy. I.d call it tender but it makes a good topiary.

LAVANDULA 'PASTOR'S PRIDE' .............................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Dark flowers on long stems and little tendency to melt. John at H&H considers it one of the very
best, but really, a dark lavender, doesn.t „Demon.s Bride. have a better ring to it.

LEONTOPODIUM PALIBINIANUM ........................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Native to North Asia and pretty much the same as alpinum, I agree with Farrer that they hardly
deserve the hype however they are great as food plant for painted lady butterflies larva that
adore them.

LEPTINELLA PERPUSILLA ........................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

A matformer Brigitta got from Joy Creek; this has been a Cotula in the past, it had enough cute
appeal for Brigitta to pluck it from the sales bench.

LEPTINELLA SQUALIDA 'PLATT'S BLACK' ......................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A cute little creeper from New Zealand with startling black foliage that is a bit reminiscent of
some of the Cotula species, this little composite is a great foliage accent between stones,
flowers are nothing to write home about but the plant is cool. Like most New Zealanders, it
needs some protection here.

LESQUERELLA ALPINA .............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

A small gray leaved crucifer from the Rockies yellow flowers, easy and cute.

LESQUERELLA OVALIFOLIA .................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

species, too seldom seen in cultivation.

An easy deciduous species, pygmaea seeds around in the garden, with stems of small pink
flowers encircling the tuft of fleshy leaves.

LEWISIA HYB. 'GEORGE HENLEY' ......................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Supposedly a hybrid between columbiana and cotyledon; it is quite attractive and clearly a
hybrid, however I see little columbiana influence.

LEWISIA 'NORMA JEAN' ........................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

This looks to be a cross between cotyledon and columbiana, rosettes are large and cotyledon
like with the airy sprays of smaller flowers typical of columbiana. Of course I.m just guessing,
actually I.m too lazy to dig through the old Mt. Tahoma catalogs and see what Rick has to say.
We do these from cuttings so plants are clonal.

LEWISIA 'PINKIE' ........................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Many pale pink flowers on short stems through summer, slow growing into a compact mound.

LIATRIS CALLOLEPSIS Ex Hammer .......................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Like a dwarf spicata, callolepsis is probably the plant that Kobold was developed from, compact
and showy it is a good garden plant.

A graceful species from the Southeastern U.S. with pinkish purple flowers on 60cm scapes

LIATRIS AFF. LIGULISTYLIS MONARCH STRAIN ............................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

Our most amazing new discovery, Hammer says they are ligulostylus, whatever the name they
are unique and we thank him for the seed; they apparently emit Monarch Butterfly pheromone.
Monarchs swarm to it ignoring other Liatris species just a few feet away. They follow customers
to their cars and are so distracted that they can be picked up with your fingers. It is absolutely
the coolest thing you have ever seen. Wagner found an orchid that did the same thing but as far
as we know this has never been reported for Liatris. We are offering seedlings from our original
plants that the Monarchs pollinated and they retain their attraction, the butterflies were very
selective. They are also very slow growing for a Liatris, and much loved by thrips as well as
Monarchs, be careful not to spray the thrips and kill the Monarchs, try bio-control.

LIATRIS PYCNOSTACHYA Ex Hammer .................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Bright purple flowers in dense 4' spikes; thrives on dry soils, great cut flower, easy. This is
different from the plant that is widespread in the trade under this name; I trust these to be the
true species.

LIATRIS PYCNOSTACHYA ALBA Ex Hammer ........................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

White form of the above.

LIATRIS SPICATA KOBOLD ...................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Pinkish purple spikes open from the top down, extremely popular cut flowers, equally
indispensable in the garden; this is the best dwarf cultivar.

LIGULARIA DENTATA 'BRIT-MARIE CRAWFORD' ........................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

Supposedly, this has the darkest leaves of all, but we have never planted it side by side with the
others and foliage color is influenced by many factors but as we grow it is black.

LIGULARIA (FARFUGIUM) JAPONICUM 'AUREOMACULATA' ............ PRICE $8.00

Ligularia if you prefer although Farfugium has a nice ring to it, big green leaves with odd almost
sickly yellow spots, its hardier than the literature would lead you to believe.

LIGULARIA X PALMATALOBA ............................................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

Ligularia dentata crossed to L. japonica, this is intermediate between the parents; corymbs of
orangish yellow daisies and bold palmately lobed orbicular leaves, it needs a wet spot or it will

stems produced for a long period in the summer.

LIMONIUM DICTIOCLADUM ...................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

of flavum with good yellow flowers.

LINUM TENUIFOLIUM ................................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

excellent picture in the AGS Encyclopedia.

white (vanilla frosting?) and develop green tips as they age flowers are typical purple spikes.

flowers, long amongst the most popular rock garden plants, lime free soil and full sun are best. It
is hardier than often reported and looks great with Erica.

LITHODORA DIFFUSA HEAVENLY BLUE .............................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Similar to the above with Gentian blue flowers a little lighter in shade than Grace Ward, both
need acid soil for best color.

LITHODORA HISPIDULA ............................................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

A little boraginaceous shrublet native to Turkey and Crete, flowers open white than age pink
through blue to blue-violet.

LITHODORA OLEIFOLIA ............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

This is probably the hardiest of the genus, native to only one small area in the Eastern
Pyrenees, it spreads by underground stolons, but hardly could be considered a weed; the 10-
15cm flower stems bear pink flowers that age to purplish blue.

LITHODORA ZAHNII ..................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

A rare species restricted to a small area of Greece in the wild. 18" evergreen shrublet with long
narrow leaves and brilliant sky blue flowers, it needs some protection here.

LOBELIA CARDINALE ARROWHEAD FORM .......................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A parent of many of the hybrids this is the pure species with no fulgens mixed in. Plants under
this name often are contaminated by fulgens. Telltale signs are reddish foliage and lack of
hardiness, the pure species is hardy well into Northern Canada. Here it.s brilliant scarlet flowers
light up the banks of the red cedar river sowing profusely on the disturbed floodplain these are
the real deal from our native colony.

LOBELIA CARDINALE ................................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

As above but from commercial seed sources they seem fulgens free.

LOBELIA CHINENSIS .................................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

supposedly hardy; it is used medicinally and is a very desirable ornamental.

For months of unbeatable blue color this select form from Germany is unbeatable, it will self sow
like crazy on a wet site and comes true from seed.

LOBELIA SPECIOSA 'LA FRESCO' ........................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A dark purple with very congested heads and a tendency to fasciate, which the flower arrangers
admittedly love, however it is often indicative of virus. In my experience Lobelias are a magnet
for virus and should probably be indexed before being tissue cultured. We have pitched a
number of interesting streaky variegates which were apparently viral in origin.

LOBELIA SPECIOSA 'RUBY SLIPPERS' ................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Back by popular demand, Thurman.s ruby red is always a sellout.

LOBELIA SPECIOSA 'SPARKLE DEVINE' .............................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

magenta flowers, all the more after Tony Avent told us the story of its origins, you know Tony
and his stories, priceless as is the plant.

LOTUS CORNICULATUS PLENUS ........................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

As many of you probably know, Punnett likes pea flowers, if they happen to be yellow so much
the better (we forgive him this minor character flaw, normally he has excellent taste in plants).
This thing has double yellow pea flowers although it tends to be somewhat shy flowering, we
accidentally trashed our entire stock last year but Dick brought more.

LUZULA 'RUBY STILLETO ....................................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

A shade lover with ruby tinted grass like foliage particularly in the spring; this is an excellent
addition to your shade garden and a good contrast with broad foliaged plants.

LYCHNIS CHALCEDONICA RED CROSS ................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

What can you say about Red Cross, it.s true they are bloodsuckers but at least they don.t use
their vehicles to transport weapons like the Red Crescent.

LYCHNIS CHALCEDONICA ALBA ............................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

A pure white version of Maltese Cross, it makes a nice contrast with the bright red form.

LYCHNIS FLOS-CUCULI CONJESTA ...................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

this is one of the few first-rate Lychnis.

Flower of jove, not quite sure what he did with with cute little pink flowers but this one is joves or
jupiters depending on the mythology.


LYCHNIS MIQUELIANA .............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Insanely popular, someone featured this in a magazine article a few years back and we have
been selling out every since, huge orange flower on fairly compact plants it tends to go summer
dormant if stressed.

mature, it has been hardy here but rather slow to multiply.

These date from a Waddick collection in China, a hardy dwarf form with exceptional spidery red
flowers, unbelievable looking but slow to multiply.

LYCORIS SHAANXIENSIS WHITE FLOWERED ................................. PRICE 1@ $19.00

A creamy white flowered species we got from china. it is great in combination with Lycoris
radiata v.pumila, it seems equally hardy.

LYSIMACHIA CILIATA V. PURPUREA .................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Deep purple leaves and stems; yellow flowers in the leaf axils provide striking contrast. Runs a
bit, but is pretty enough to be forgiven.

LYSIMACHIA CLETHROIDES .................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Goose Neck Loosestrife is an elegant upright plant with racemes of white flowers that arch in a
graceful curve. Flower arrangers love them. I would rate them as one of the very best cut
flowers, runners but not too weedy or invasive on drier sites.

LYSIMACHIA JAPONICA MINUTISSIMA ............................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A very dwarf and reduced Creeping Jenny with yellow stars over tight mounds, this is choice
enough for a trough, forming lovely cushions.

neat little creeper for the woodland garden.

MAIANTHEMUM DILATATUM 'BABY MOON' .................................... PRICE 1@ $24.00

Unbearably cute with golden edged little round leaves this thing is much nicer than our native
canadense, the taxonomy is a bit confused but I believe dilatatum is conspecific with
kamtschatum which some consider part of biflorum, how can a genus of 3 or 4 species get so
confused? It.s also called Snakeberry and Two Leaved Soloman.s Seal and the ever ubiquitus
Wild Lily of the Valley.

MALEPHORA CROCEA ................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

A cool looking South African mesemb with unusual scarlet orange flowers that fade to bronze as
they age.

MANFREDA VIRGINICA .............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Strange, deciduous Agave relative, it dies down to a succulent rootstock in the winter. In the
spring a new rosette of red spotted green leaves emerges. It has proven hardy here and the
foliage is quite a conversation piece, and the flowers are cool as well, I suspect it would be
much more popular if it was a bit quicker to propagate, we have been working since 1997 to
produce enough to offer.

MATTHIOLA INCANA .................................................................................... PRICE - $8.00

Woody based subshrub or perennial with densely white tomentose leaves, fragrant spikes of 4-

here, Dick has it out and says it still looks great in January.

MAZUS REPTANS ........................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Prostrate creeping scroph with purple and yellow showy flowers, moist soils, a wonderful weed-
excluding groundcover for sun to part shade, Himalayas.

White form of the above.

MEEHANIA URTICIFOLIA 'SILVER SPRINTER' ................................ PRICE 1@ $12.00

Stunningly variegated foliage and large minty flowers this is lovely but despite the name it is
slow, we have been working for a couple of years to produce enough to list. Gold medals for
looks not even a bronze for speed.

MELITTIS MELISSOPHYLLUM ............................................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

Having problems with bastards? Balm „em with Bastard Balm, I can see the infomercial now, but
wait there.s more, seriously though Melittis is a lovely monotypic (we love monotypic) European
labiate with “whorls of the most vivid white pink or purple with ample lip and showy helmet, the
whole thing being like a sainted Dead Nettle of inordinate magnificence”. I can.t improve on
Farrer.s phytoerotic description my Orange Clean Ginsu knife thing pales by comparison.

MENTHA CAPENSIS HIMALAYENSIS ................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Something is wrong here I don.t think the Himalayas have a cape or vice versa.

most commented on aquatic we grow.

MICHAUXIA CAMPANULOIDES ................................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

The other species smaller than tchihatcheffii, and often confused with it in cultivation, a
spectacular monocarpic campanulad; huge cartwheel like flowers with reflexed petals and a
protruding style like some mutant Dodecatheon.

MICHAUXIA TCHIHATCHEFFII ................................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

Spectacular monocarpic campanulad, huge cartwheel like flowers with reflexed petals and a
protruding style; a plant in full flower will enchant you (as well as stop traffic on your street). If
you have never grown this pair you have to give them a try, put 3 of each in a sunny well
drained garden and they will seed around for years. With plants that persist by self sowing it is
always better to start with more than one to ensure good seed set.

MIMULUS CARDINALIS .............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

A brilliant scarlet red Monkeyflower native to the southwestern us. It is an outstanding
hummingbird plant and well worth growing just to keep the hummers happy. it is amazing how
fast they can go the length of a 200. greenhouse and their high speed cornering and braking is
equally impressive, I have had them come around corners and stop inches from my face
chittering at me for getting in their way.

MINUARTIA LARICIFOLIA .......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A nice little minuartia, with rather large white flowers it.s a great plant for a dry rock garden .

MINUARTIA STELLARIA 'FRANK CABOT' ............................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

thought it is too nice to waste on golfers, I played golf once, it wasn.t a total waste, I had a great
time collecting hatchling Spiny Softshells from one of the water holes.

MINUARTIA VERNA ..................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

One of the most desirable species with golf green cushions of short bright green foliage, these
are not as tight as some that I have seen but still very nice cushion plants.

An incredible plant from the western U.S. It's hard to believe it's not more widely grown, large

it's amazing.

MISCANTHUS FLORIDUS GIGANTEUS ................................................... PRICE - $12.00

overwatered, you've been warned.

MONARDA DIDYMA 'BLUE STOCKING' ................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

can say for most of the New Zealand flora.

petaled starry white flowers are in compact helicoid cymes arising from the creeping rootstock.

MUKDENIA ROSSII 'KARASUBA' .......................................................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

can flower and bear fruits at 10' or whenever it has 35 leaves. The bananas are not edible but
the yellow flowers are stunning.

NANANTHUS ALOIDES .............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Big thick fleshy leaves it is a Delosperma on steroids, very slow to increase, this is one of the
most spectacular mesembs we grow.

NEPETA X FASSENII SELECT .................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Anyone who has visited Arrowhead knows we have cats lots of cats. We also have cat tested
and approved Cat Mint, which is pretty even if you lack cats.

NEPETA X FASSENII 'BLUE WONDER' .................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

A very free blooming mounding plant it is one of the showiest nepeta forms.

NEPETA DISTANS ........................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

An obscure species that was distributed a few years back by Heronswood, a long blooming
plant with powder blue flowers atop 2. stems.

NEPETA PHYLLOCHLAMYS ..................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Beautiful gray rugose mats of foliage, my favorite species the perfect gift for the pussy (oops
Nugent mode, none of that purring with the stroke of your hand stuff), cat next door;
phyllochlamys is obscure in literature and regrettably rare in cultivation and native to the
Mediterranean.

OENANTHE JAVANICA 'FLAMINGO' ...................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A tricolor variegated umbellifer, the foliage is green with pink and white variegation and umbels
of white flowers, and no the name is not a typo. It is native from Japan to Malaysia and grown
as a leafy vegetable. Although books list it as zone 9, Marion Jarvie in Toronto, and Punnett
both grow it without protection. Southern gardeners may want to be wary but it seems well
behaved in the North and it is a gaudy thing.

OENOTHERA ELATA HOOKERI ............................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A big yellow sundrop, showy yellow flowers provide lots of color for the perennial border.

OENOTHERA FRUTICOSA 'FRUHLINGSGOLD' ................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Tricolor pink and white variegation in spring changing to green with creamy white margins as
the season progresses. 'Fruhlingsgold' is topped with fragrant yellow Sundrop flowers for much
of the summer.

OENOTHERA FRUTICOSA GLAUCA 'HOBE LICHT' ........................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Yet another German Sundrop.

OENOTHERA PILOSELLA 'YELLA FELLA' ............................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Golden lightly scented saucer-shaped blossoms opening during the day, and the reddish
autumn foliage adds to it.s garden interest.

OENOTHERA SPECIOSA ............................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

A creeping day blooming species with white to pale pink flowers. It is a good mid sized species
that always looks good in a mixed border.

OENOTHERA STRICA ................................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

I generally like the south american flora, and this oenothera is no exception, a chilean species
not frequently seen in gardens with bright yellow flowers that age to peach

OMPHLOIDES VERNA 'GRANDIFLORA' .............................................. PRICE 1@ $12.00

Navelwort? What does this grow in dirty bellybuttons? The sky blue flowers are rather pretty and
it is less painful than a piercing, however we recommend troughs especially if you have an
outie. What.s next, Inverted Nipplewort?

OPHIOPOGON JAPONICUM COMPACTUM .......................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

A treasure, this thing is tiny with dense tufts of grassy foliage only a couple inches tall and short
scapes of bell shaped flowers followed by heavy crops of ornamental blue berries, (not to be
confused with blueberries); its cute enough for a trough and sure to elicit comment.

OPHIOPOGON JAPONICUM 'SUPER DWARF' ...................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

A bewitching broomling this is half the size of compactum and twice as tight, by far the tightest
dwarf Ophiopogon we have seen, ideal for under planting with bonsai or in a trough, there are
no doubt myriads of other uses as well.

OPHIOPOGON JAPONICUM DWARF VARIEGATED ........................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

A nice dwarf variegated plant we got from Yinger a number of years ago if it ever had a name
we have lost it.

OPHIOPOGON (LIRIOPE) PLANISCAPA 'SILVER DRAGON' ............ PRICE 1@ $8.00

Stupendous white variegation, this came to us as an Ophiopogon however it flowered this year
and is clearly a liriope. Still a knockout in combination with the black Ophiopogon. It seems to be
a strong grower however its hardiness has yet to be tested by a hard winter here.

OPHIOPOGON JAPONICUM 'TORAFU' ................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

An unusual plant with irregular horizontal yellow banding after the fashion of Zebra Grass if it
were a bit more regular it would be stunning, definitely one to save seed on.

OPHIOPOGON PLANISCAPA NIGRESCENS ....................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Nearly black foliage, this has been around but remains as classy now as when it was first
introduced, it is beautiful in combination with „Silver Dragon.. It is hardy for us but takes a
beating in hard winters and vanished completely at –29°F.

OPHIOPOGON PLANISCAPA NIGRESCENS 'EDGE OF NIGHT' .... PRICE 1@ $19.00

As above but with a narrow white edge, pretty cool despite the soap opera name, I.ve seen this
listed for over $50, here.s your chance to get one on the cheap.

OPUNTIA FRAGILIS Ex Lake of the Woods Canada ................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

A tiny padded form, cute enough for a trough, this originally came from one of the most northerly
sites for a Cactus. Dick has grown it for many years and brought us some. We had originally
planned to ship it back to a Canadian nursery however CITES in its infinite stupidity prevents us
from sending it back from whence it came. (In California if you catch a Bullfrog and release it
back into the pond it just came from you can be fined $$$$; Government officials should be
forced to take a common sense test and shot if they fail).

ORESITROPHE RUPIFRAGA .................................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

One of the coolest new woodlanders to come out of China recently; Oresitrophe is a monotypic
saxifrage relative with attractive foliage and panicles of white to pink 5 petaled saxifrage flowers
atop 7-13cm scapes in spring as the leaves are unfurling.

ORESITROPHE RUPIFRAGA „PINK BUD. ............................................. PRICE 1@ $12.00

As above but with pink buds that open to white flowers, like the above it is best propagated by
dividing the bulb like crown which easily splits into many tiny bulblets.

ORIGANUM

According to the RHS Index of Garden Plants, nearly every species we list is
hardy to Zone 8 or 9. What a crock, who comes up with this stuff, winter in the
mountains of Turkey at 2,000m doesn't sound like palm trees to me. The
scary thing is most beginning gardeners and even some of the experienced
ones actually take them seriously. (Want a chuckle; check out their Allium
zone ratings; and people ask me why I don't include zone information.)

ORIGANUM ACUTIDENS ............................................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

From Turkey, via Mojmir, good stuff, lime green reflexed bracts in summer, only 4-5" tall; this is
one of the best.

ORIGANUM CALCARTICUM ...................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

A sub shrubby species from the Aegean Islands, flowers a bit like Dictamnus with the pink
corollas extending well out from the bracts.

ORIGANUM DICTAMNUS ........................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

One of the most beautiful species, wet sensitive fuzzy foliage, whorls of hop like rose purple
bracts, happier where the climate is more like Crete.

ORIGANUM DICTAMNUS X PULCHELLUM ........................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Combining the beauty of Dictamnus and the large flowers and easy habit of pulchellum, this is
an outstanding plant; a chance hybrid from Siskiyou, fuzzy but not too fussy.

ORIGANUM MINUTIFLORUM #243 ......................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

A sub shrubby tomentose Turkish species collected by Jurasek and closely related to
micranthum but with white flowers, we are rather fond of it.

ORIGANUM ONITES ..................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

A tender shrublet from the Mediterranean region, Pot Marjoram has long been cultivated for
culinary purposes.

ORIGANUM SP. ............................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

A speckled variegate that we got from Yinger originally. I.m not sure of the species but it is not a
tiny one.

ORIGANUM VULGARE 'WHITE ANNIVERSARY' („POLYPHANT.) ............... 1@ $8.00

John says this is really Polyphant., whatever the name its a variegated cultivar with lots of white
in the leaves, very showy and good for culinary use as well. A plant with enormous garden
center appeal, although most of the plant collectors that visited last summer left with a pot as
well, however we did manage to save enough to list.

ORIGANUM X SUENDERMANII ................................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

You know the Germans, always the best, neatly stacked and topped with rosy purple bracts, not
as cute as the Head Arrowhead though, (a title sort of like Chief Yahoo but with more
aggravation and nowhere near the money).

OROSTACHYS SPINOSA Ex Halda ............................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Marvelous plant, these are from wild seed and we now have hundreds of different genotypes,
previous cultivated material seemed to be clonal from a single introduction that seldom
flowered, these do. They show a bit of variation and should produce some viable seed for a
change. They roll up in a tight ball for the winter swelling and unfurling in the spring to a multi-
armed starfish with next year's over-wintering ball in the center; the ultimate Hen and Chick.

OXALIS CRASSIPES 'ALBA' ....................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Pure white long blooming with trifoliate leaves supposedly zone 5 hardy it sure has a bedding
plant look.

OXALIS CRASSIPES 'ROSEA' .................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

It sits on the bench next to crassipes 'Alba' and the two seem to have merged in my mind,
except of course the flowers on this are pink, maybe the leaves are different too. I really don.t
care; this one is supposed to like the shade but it is sitting in dead full sun flowering like mad, I.ll
trade a flat of it for a few plants of Oxalis laciniata or O. bryoides.


OXALIS MAGELLANICA 'NELSON' .......................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Native to the southern tip of South America where the flat mats of bronzed leaves camouflage
perfectly with the ground, it helps that they are barely over ½” high. „Nelson. has fully double
little oxalis flowers sitting just above the cushion. It is easy enough for the open garden but
almost too tiny and better appreciated in a trough in part shade; Nelson' will fry in too much sun.

OXALIS SP. Ex L.S.R.G. ............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

For those of you who have been out to the nursery this is the species that is running around our
limestone rock garden. We got it from the Czechs years ago, the name was illegible but it is pink
flowered and it has been slowly creeping about ever since. Punnett admired it and when we dug
his piece, we figured we might as well propagate it.

OXALIS SP. LSRG DARK VERSION ......................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

As above but darker, these are the dark form that Punnett grows.

OXALIS SP. „CMW 4199. ............................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

A fleshy leaved yellow flowered species from a Watson collection in the Andes it looks a bit like
O. megalorrhiza (carnosa).

OXALIS VERSICOLOR ................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

A South African species for the alpine house, candy cane striped buds open to red edged white
flowers.

PACHYSANDRA PROCUMBENS ............................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

A very heavily marbled bronze leaf form of our native deciduous species, courtesy of Punnett, a
plant with immensely more charm than the overused Japanese one.

PACHYSANDRA TERMINALIS 'GREEN CARPET' ............................. PRICE 1@ $12.00

I must say I prefer our native species to this but if all you are after is smothering foliage in an
acid shady garden than this is for you (master gardeners and landscape architects may feel
spoken to). Actually „Green Carpet. is slower and more compact than the species and when
used in moderation the evergreen foliage is attractive.

PAEONIA

For years I considered peonies little more than ant covered floppy perennials with little to
recommend them, however as I came to appreciate the range of wild species I began to view
them in a new light. They are now one of my favorite genera, long lived in the garden, with
incredibly showy flowers (which by the way do not need ants to open). The range of foliage
textures in particular is far too under appreciated. Many will tolerate a bit of shade but none
really thrive in deep shade. In general, they are plants of scrubby chaparral type habitats and
will tolerate incredible abuse once they are established. Pests are few with only an occasional
bit of botritis which is easily dealt with, the only serious problem is root knot nematode which is
seldom a problem with seed grown species material however it is all to common in cheap
discount store hybrids.

PAEONIA HYB. 'ANTWERPEN' single pink lactiflora mid late ............... PRICE 1@ $19.00

PAEONIA ANOMOLA ................................................................................. PRICE 1@ $39.00

A thread leafed species from central Asia, it is not as finely cut as tenuiifolia. These are from
German garden stocks and are more likely hybrids to anomola and not particularly thread leafed
but still a welcome garden addition. Flowers are brilliant crimson and about 9cm across.

PAEONIA CAUCASICA .............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $49.00

Usually the first paeony to bloom for us with attractive foliage and single generally pink flowers,
it is one of my favorite species paeonies.

PAEONIA JAPONICUM ............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $39.00

Yinger assures us these are the real thing, not obovata, which is often confused with it, single
eyes, imported, flowering size or nearly so, choice and rarely available.

PAEONIA LACTIFLORA HYB ................................................................... PRICE 1@ $39.00

Mixed lactaflora hybrids these have all been single in a nice range of colors, they were open
pollenated so who knows what the pollen parent is.

PAEONIA MASCULA .................................................................................. PRICE 1@ $39.00

A rather widespread and variable plant that has been split into a number of subspecies, it is a
naturally occurring tetraploid (related species like cambessedesii tend to be diploid) with large
single rosy red flowers atop 2. bushy plants.

PAEONIA MOLLIS ....................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $39.00

A rare or possibly extinct plant in the wild it was brought to the UK in the 19th century from
Russia but has never been seen again in the wild. It is related to officianalis, but very distinct
looking, tetraploid with 20 chromosomes, the leaves are incised into 20 or so deeply cut leaflets,
flowers are 3” across and usually single and red but possibly white.

PAEONIA OFFICIANALIS SSP. BANATICA ........................................ PRICE 1@ $39.00

A southern European species that has been cultivated since antiquity, however the wild type
single reds are rarely encountered in gardens, banatica is one of the larger subspecies,
reaching 30cm in height with bowl shaped red flowers to 13cm across.

PAEONIA PEREGRINA ........................................ SMALLER $19.00 LARGER 1@ $39.00

Probably the most asked for species peony in our display gardens here at the nursery, brilliant
single red flowers with attractive yellow stamens.

PAEONIA ROCKII EX WU JINUYU CHINA ....................................... PRICE 1@ $69.00

New wild material out of China, rockii is somewhat variable and these may or may not look like
„Joseph Rock., which has become the poster child for Paeony rockii.

PAEONIA SUFFRUTICOSA SSP. ROCKII ............................................ PRICE 1@ $59.00

A legendary plant these are from commercial stocks and should be white with a dark central
blotch but expect the occasional pure white or light pink, flowers are generally much larger than
lutea and delavayi.

PAEONIA TENUIIFOLIA ........................................................................... PRICE 1@ $49.00

Brick red single flowers with feathery foliage these are from German garden stocks and may be
a bit variable (if anyone finds a white one let us know).

PANICUM VIRGATUM 'HEAVY METAL' ............................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Always heed the advice on the back of the Hitchhikers guide. How much danger can a stiffly
upright metallic blue switch grass pose? That really depends on who is wielding the switch.

PANICUM VIRGATUM 'ROTSTRAHLBUSCH' ..................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Red sunbeam bush, it just doesn.t have the same impact as heavy metal, the only shredding
licks that you will get from this is if you accidentally hit it with a weed whacker.

PAPAVER BRACTEATUM ......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Collected at 1600m west of Semdinli Turkey, Jim Archibald calls them “sumptuous, big Oriental
Poppies in crumpled scarlet silk with glossy black centers on bristly 60cm stems” supposedly
this was once crossed with some of the annual carnation flowered types but no trace seems to
remain of the resulting plants, perhaps someone should re-attempt it.

PARDANTHOPSIS DICHOTOMA ............................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

We finally got around to propagating a decent batch of this beautiful Irid. Exotic purplish flowers
borne on branching scapes with falls larger than the standards, ivory spotted and striped
maroon at the base, flecked purple in the center with the claw striped purple. They open rapidly
in the late afternoon, so quickly that you can actually watch them unfurl, although they generally
seem to wait until your back is turned; once pollinated the petals twist together into a cool little
rope, several open each day for many weeks in mid to late summer.

PARADISEA LILIASTRUM MAJOR ......................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

St Bruno's Lily, floats in a solid shroud over Mt. Cenis, must be seen in the mountains to be
believed and grown in mass in the garden for best effect. The pure white trumpets resemble a
miniature Lilium candidum.

PARONYCHIA CHIONAEA .......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Piatek.s collection from Ala Dag at 2200m forming close mats of silvery green foliage that clings,
starfish fashion, to the contours of the rock, flowers tiny but the hyaline bracts are quite showy
producing the typical display of silvery bracts, some consider this a subspecies of kepala.

PARONYCHIA KEPALA .............................................................................. PRICE 1 @ $6.50

Curious mat former from Istria, insignificant flowers but showy silvery white bracts, it sort of
grows on you. I can see it now; a deer hunter totally encased in Paronychia, hell I bet the
military would pay big bucks if you could find a way to grow it hydroponicly, rooted directly on a
one piece cotton camo outfit, remember if you do this I can show prior art in the patent fight.

PELTOBOYKINIA TELLIMOIDES .............................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

A nearly monotypic genus there are only two closely related species, tellimoides is a very rare
thing confined to a few wooded mountains in Honshu, the similar P. wantanabei is found on
Shikoku and Kyushu. A large-leafed woodland saxifrage, foliage is a bit reminiscent of Darmera,
however it bears cymes of bell shaped yellow saxifrage flowers on 2-3. stems in early summer.
It has proven to be fully hardy here with no special protection; indeed, for such a rare
woodlander it is virtually indestructible.

PENNISETUM ALOPECUROIDES 'LITTLE HONEY' ............................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

A variegated sport of the well-known diminutive fountain grass „Little Bunny., unlike its
lagomorph namesake I find it rather cute.

PENSTEMON

A genus almost exclusively American, it contains some of the showiest
species any gardener could wish for, and in terms of plants not seeds we
have the largest selection, we think, in the world. Most are fairly easy to grow,
the main problem is die-back, we have been trying to select the most resistant
clones and think we have some good ones, including a few rather difficult
dwarf Western species.

PENSTEMON 'HOPPLEY'S VARIEGATED' ............................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Tall with streaky variegation and light lavender flowers Hinkley brought it back from the UK.

PENSTEMON 'RED ROCKS' ....................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

bloom most of the summer with flowers that range from fluorescent pink to bright red to clear
blue and deep purple.

PENSTEMON BARRETTIAE Ratko 99-287 ................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Ron collected this lovely member of the Erianthera section from above the Klickitat River at
1150.. With age, it develops a thick woody caudex surrounded by glaucous almost sedum like
blue gray leaves in an evergreen tuft. Sending up numerous stems of huge rose purple flowers
crowded in the top of the 12-18” stems, the contrast is stunning only rupicola can compare; this
population throws an occasional white plant.

PENSTEMON CARDINALIS SSP. CARDINALIS .................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A spectacular xeriscape plant, with deep scarlet flowers on 30” stems, this is one of the
hummingbird pollinated southwestern species and generally easy to grow even in areas of
higher rainfall.

A shrubby mat former, with broad evergreen leaves these should be mostly the purple form.
One of the best shrubby Penstemons, nice draped over the edge of a trough.

PENSTEMON CRANDALLII V ATRATUS ................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

A small mat forming version of crandellii, collected from the gravelly flats of sagebrush and
Gambel Oak in the La Sal Mts E.SE. of Moab at 8320.. It.s in the caespitosi section but the
flowers are larger than P. caespitosus dark blue to lavender and scattered profusely over the
mats, a choice trough Penstemon.

PENSTEMON CRANDALLII V GLABRESCENS Ratko 99-304 .............. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Ratko.s collections from Arroyo Aguaje de la Petaca in New Mexico at 8225. where it forms two

PENSTEMON IDAHOENSIS ....................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Tufted mounds of foliage and brilliant sky blue flowers atop the 6” stems, this is a rare endemnic
found only in the Goose Creek watershed in Cassia County and is one of my favorite

volcanic tuff on Brian Head in the Markagunt Plateau at 10750..

PENSTEMON LINEARIOIDES COLORADOENSIS ............................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

This is a favorite dwarf Penstemon, needle-like intense silvery leaves, forming tiny mats small
enough for troughs. It never suffers from any dieback and seems very easy for a caespitose
Penstemon. This would be a first rank plant even if it never flowered, and the flowers are lovely
as well.

An improved version of the above, more and bigger flowers, better habit, bla bla bla.

PENSTEMON PINIFOLIUS IRON MAN ................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Seedlings ex Alplains from this almost non stop blooming clone with vibrant tangerine flowers,
hopefully they come fairly true but at worst you will get some nice plants with a good compact
habit we won.t know flower color until this spring.

PENSTEMON PROCERUS TOLMIEI Ratko 98-458 .................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Ron.s collections from goat rocks of a very compact form, flowers are anywhere from yellow to

An unusual creamy white flowered Mark McDonough selection from Mt. Rainier.

PENSTEMON PROCUMBENS (caespitosus) 'CLAUDE BARR' ............. PRICE 1@ $6.50

This is generally listed as caespitosus in the trade however it is more likely a selection of
procumbens, (which was once considered a subspecies of crandellii) indeed it differs little from
wild type procumbens forming a creeping inch high mat that roots down.

PENSTEMON RICHARDSONII Ratko 97-228 ............................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

A compact 6-9” form of this Saccanthera species from the dry rocky creek bed of Waterworks
Canyon at 1800.; the deeply dissected leaves turning a bright red in fall. It presents an exquisite

PERSICARIA MICROCEPHALA 'RED DRAGON' .................................... PRICE $12.00

I know you are expecting Death.s Head Sphinx culture and cannibalism however in this case the
plant is better than the sequel, with attractive purple leaves bearing the typical chevron mark.
This is supposed to be a non running form, this remains to be seen as does it.s hardiness which
seems to be less than impressive it is however a very trendy plant, and will make the rounds in
a big way over the next couple of years.

PETALOSTEMON CANDIDUM ................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

I have retained the older name Petalostemon to avoid confusion even though it is now known as
Dalea candidum, a white prairie clover that grows to 70cm or so. If you are into the prairie
restoration thing, you will love it.

PETASITES JAPONICUS GIGANTEA DICK ......................................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

Another wonder from the Punnett garden, Dick says this elicits lots of whatinthe-hellisthat
comments in his garden. It simply has to be seen to be believed. A running plant with huge
leaves 3-4 ft across and impressive flowers as the leaves are unfurling in spring. Tropical and
exotic looking and impressive to say the least, when Dick put it in a wet spot, it hastened back
up the hill. Most of the plants sold under this name turn out to be something much smaller, if it's
offered for a ridiculously low price it's probably not it, but the Dutch form offered above.

PETASITES JAPONICUS 'PURPUREUS' .............................................. PRICE 1@ $19.00

The purple leafed version of Petasites, this has been amazingly slow to multiply for us. We
bought this back in 1999 from Heronswood and only now do we have barely enough to list.

calciphile; forming mats 20cm across in 10 years, the silky downy foliage topped with tiny white
plumes like a miniature Astilbe or Spirea. A classic plant that deserves a prime place in the
garden.

tubers, flowering stems arise from a central crown and can reach 1.8m with stacked

PHLOX SPECIES AND HYBRIDS

The backbone of the summer perennial border, most of the hybrids derive
from American native species, by selecting a range of cultivars the blooming
season can be extended from spring until frost. Phlox are at their best in rich
soil in full sun, the fragrant flowers cut well and will perfume your house for
weeks. We also are listing a number of the challenging Western species They
will test the skill of the finest growers, and our patience as well. Please don't
call because your bryoides doesn.t make a yard wide subulata mat. If there is
even a few green shoots on a half dead plant you are doing better than most.

PHLOX X ARDENSII „PING PONG. ......................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Another early blooming dwarf mildew resistant variety with large heads of fragrant dark eyed
soft-rose flowers and deep reddish green foliage, it is one of the nicer new phloxes we have

A nice compact growing, pink flowered phlox from Link Foster, he crossed a number of the
choice western phloxes with subulata and douglasii however the parentage of many is not
recorded. Nursery visitors may remember our unique polydactylus fat cat named Link, a seven
toed proto-Kizinti tool user (read Ringworld) with an opposable three toed second hand and the
luck of Teela, he.s named for the Zelda character not Foster.

PHLOX X 'FOXY LADY' ............................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

PHLOX DIVARICATA 'BLUE MOON' ........................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

I never really got the whole blue moon thing, but Inconsistent Moon was a great short story,

would certainly be inconsistent and blue in the moonlight.

growing, reversion prone, and not worth growing. Nora is different, these are cutting grown
plants from Pauline Banyi.s garden thanks to Langhammer who kept it in cultivation after her
death. It has spectacular broad white margins on every leaf and almost never reverts. Our
clumps have been in the garden for years and just get better and better.

named forms we list,

flowers over compact mats of needle foliage.

Physostegia we grow.

PINELLIA CORDATA .................................................................................. PRICE 1@ $12.00

marbling look more like an Asian Ginger than an Aroid. The flowers give it away however, cute

POLYGALA

A fantastic genus we have worked overtime to bring you some of the finest
sub shrubby and perennial offerings, these things are very tedious from seed
and cutting material always seems in short supply. If possible please list a few
substitutes, these may go fast. Those new to the genus are always amazed at
the first sight of Polygala chamaebuxus or Polygala calcarea in full bloom. If
in doubt plant a Polygala, plant them here, plant them there, you should plant
them everywhere. We are curious, is anyone growing P. darwiniana or any
other Andean species? The genus has a diversity that is unbelievable, and
most of the best species have not yet found their way into gardens.

POLYGALA CHAMAEBUXUS ..................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

and yellow flowers, blooming in spring and often with a second flush of flowers in summer, its

POLYGONATUM

An important genus for the woodland garden, most of the 55 or so species
are Asian, with a few North American species. They add an elegance and
grace that is perfect with ferns. If garden space is tight shovel up a few old
Hostas and toss them on the compost heap to make room for some
Polygonatum. Some of the small species like hookeri are perfect for a
woodland trough, and the climbing species are easily scrambled through
understory shrubs.

POLYGONATUM HYB. 'VALERIE'S SONG' ......................................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

A vigorous clone from Sunny Border Ohio, this probably has a bit of canaliculatum in it,
'Valerie's Song' should be very popular with the landscapers.

An exceptional plant with broad leaves to 8” long on 30” arching stems, which bear axillary
pendant white flowers tipped in green and followed by showy blue fruit.

POLYGONATUM HOOKERI ..................................................................... PRICE 1@ $19.00

A legendary plant hookeri is the Polygonatum for troughs. Hookeri is a true alpine reaching
5000 meters in the Himalayas and Western China, the 3-5cm high stems can form mats a meter
wide in the wild, but don.t plan on that in your garden. Hookeri is difficult but worth any amount
of effort, the huge pink flowers are unlike anything else in the genus. The AGS manual
recommends alkaline soils and plenty of sun, however mine are living is slightly acid soil and
60% shade.

gardens beautifully.

POLYGONATUM KINGIANUM CLONE 1, CL 2, CL 3, CL 4 .......... PRICE 4@ $40.00

POLYGONATUM MULTIFLORUM 'VARIEGATUM' .............................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

I believe this is 2004 perennial of the year, and by all accounts, a fantastic plant but horribly
intertwined with the following, which is itself confused (odoratum is European and falcatum is
Japanese). All are edged variegates, please buy some of each and let us know if you manage
to definitively key them out, personally I am beginning to suspect they are all hybrids.

POLYGONATUM ODORATUM (FALCATUM) VARIEGATUM ............ PRICE 1@ $8.00

Another one of Hinkley.s collection this one is smaller scrambling to 5' with red fruit.

POLYGONATUM SIBIRICUM KC............................................................. PRICE 1@ $15.00

Very different from the above. A tall and very ornamental species that is also a big deal with the
herb crowd, A search on the web for Huang Jing will yield lots of records, the claims they make
are outrageous, its everything from an insecticide to a cure for TB. Our plants have produced
several purple leaf forms (see below).

A creeping lobelia with berry like fruits, 'Country Park' is a fragrant deep blue cultivar collected in
Tasmania by Graham Hutchens, 'Country Park. is considered the best form of the species in
cultivation. It is much like Laurentia fluviatialis, but with darker showier flowers.

PRIMULA

It was a miserably hot summer and we still did fairly well with many of the primulas,
the ones with no heat tolerance suffered a painful death, Darwinian selection for
desert life. Reidii died of course, and the petiolarids never got past the cotyledon
stage. The growable ones are indispensable plants for the shade garden, blooming
from spring until it gets too hot in the summer. Most species like it on the cool side,
and many will re-bloom in fall when it cools off. If you have any interest at all, we
urge you to get a copy of Richard's book on the genus; its wonderful. We do
however have a number of exciting new plants in the auricula section to offer,
allionii again fared much better than florindae and japonica. I have concluded that
allionii is far easier then the literature would lead you to believe, they survive
summer heat better than many species that are considered easy. I would urge you
to try a few; they make beautiful trough or pan subjects.

compact with glowing violet purple flowers. Brian is one of the people who got me started early

growing; killing them made me a much better grower.

true form.

thing really deserves a better name.

PRIMULA ALLIONII 'STRADBROOK LUCY' ......................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Fully double royal purple flowers, usually multi-petaled but occasionally hose in hose, I find it
rather slow to increase.

it.s beautiful.

Cheri Fluck sent us this, a nice juliae that she purchased years ago at an American Primula
Society sale in Alaska. It is a good grower, and multiplies well, of the various juliae forms we

A true juliae type tiny creeping mats of foliage Cheri Fluck sent us this years ago, we finally
made enough to list.

PRIMULA JULIAE OLD CLONE FROM JUNEAU .................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

Bergfruhling types.

PRIMULA MARGINATA 'HOLDEN CLOUGH X P. ALLIONII' ............. PRICE 1@ $8.00

One of the best marginata hybrids, I.m surprised that breeders do not use marginata more
frequently. It has fantastic foliage and crosses rather easily with other plants in the auricula
section.

PRIMULA MARGINATA 'KESSELRING'S VARIETY' ........................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

One of the prettiest members of the auricula section; plant it high in the rockwork and “in time it
will form a sheet, the trunks are fibrous and woody, haunted by golden meal among the
fibrosities of their coat, the rosettes built of handsome leathern foliage, thick and gray,
picturesquely toothed, and with the ample toothing outlined, especially when the leaves are
young with the thick golden meal in a conspicuous hem… flowers are of a beauty unbelievable,
wide open saucers of the loveliest lavender blue, with infinitesimal atoms of white powder
hovering densely on their eye”. That was the species, 'Kesselring's is even nicer.

The best known of all the marginata hybrids with jagged silvery farina leaves and deep mauve
blue flowers.

with them is a remarkable sight; our plants are from Jim Briggs.

out with us.

A select form with fimbriated white flowers backed in pink and delicately edged with pink, it has
the classic sieboldii look.

PRIMULA VERIS 'SUNSET SHADES' ....................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

color mix of red, orange and yellow; P. sonchifolia and P. reidii may be cooler, but these are a

Fully double pale lilac flowers, a classic double, supplies limited.

PRIMULA VULGARIS ACAULIS 'SUNSHINE SUSIE' .......................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

spectacular and abominations,

PRIMULA VULGARIS 'FRANCESCA' ....................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Very unusual with green colored ruffled flowers, Brigitta loves it but it doesn.t do much for me,
however I love the green edged show auriculas (Punnett hates them), I leave it to you.

PRIMULA X „BELLUENSIS. ......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

This came to us from Marion Jarvie; I have little to tell except the plants resemble Primula x
Pubescens „Freedom. with heads of deep lilac flowers.

PRIMULA X JULIANA 'LITTLE GEM' ....................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

A smaller plant with purplish rose flowers, I am not greatly impressed although others seem to
find it attractive enough.

Brian Burrows (which reminds me I need to send him a copy of the “Taming of the Shrew.) cross
of a white form of allionii to an auricula seedling, masses of soft yellow flowers, it is an exciting
color break in the allionii types with a well deserved reputation for excellence.


PRIMULA X PUBESCENS 'CHRISTINE' ................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

This was a gift from Marion Jarvie, and has proven to be an excellent grower for us; it roots well
from cuttings and does not seem prone to melt.

PRIMULA X PUBESCENS 'JOAN GIBLEY ' ........................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Purple flowers, this came form Marion Jarvie, don.t bother trying to Google it.

PRIMULA X PUBESCENS GIGANTEA SELECT ................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Perhaps the best Primula for Midwestern gardens, they laugh at summer heat, flowers are huge
in a wide range of colors very Victorian looking with subtle shadings. If you have never grown
auriculas give these a try, you will not be disappointed.

PRIMULA X PUBESCENS SELECT BLUE EXHIBITION ..................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Mixed seedlings from show quality blue plants, these tolerate the open garden much better than
the Brits would lead you to believe. Indeed they are perhaps the easiest Primula we grow,
virtually immune too Midwestern summers and shunned by vine weevils, thrips, and spider
mites. They are about as carefree as primulas get.

PRIMULA X PUBESCENS 'BIGGIE'S BLUE' .......................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

We have had literally thousands of auriculas pass through our hands over the years and from
time to time one is such a standout that it is nabbed for our private collection, „Biggie.s Blue. is
the best of those, it has huge intricately shaded flowers that have to be seen to be believed.

resistant and good blue flowers that are large for a longifolia type.

pink flowers, followed by red or black glossy berries. A very decorative but curiously neglected

gem features open panicles with hundreds of long tubular purplish blue flowers. Rabdosia is

supposed to be a hardy form.

lashes from a stunning rosette of dark foliage with an irregularly blotched silver picotee edge.

RANUNCULUS FICARIA 'BRAZEN HUSSY' .......................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A wonderful selection from Christopher Lloyd with black purple foliage and starry golden
flowers, Brigitta has been building quite a collection of ficaria forms and one of these years we
will offer all of them, despite their reputation for being rampant colonizers the double forms have
been quite slow here.

RANUNCULUS FICARIA 'COFFEE CREAM' .......................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

color is a given.

very enamored with the ficaria clones of late; look for a huge future listing.

RANUNCULUS FICARIA 'FRIED EGG' ..................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

What to do with unwanted fertalized eggs? You can.t use them for stem cell research and it
seems a waste to flush them, we have a solution that is sure to get Bill O.Rielly worked up. Lets
fry them.

RANUNCULUS FICARIA 'GREEN PETAL' .............................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Mid green foliage lightly blotched with silver

for.

RANUNCULUS GRAMINEUS ..................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

dormant then reappears in fall.

A cool new variegated plant, serrated leaves with a silvery golden center; this will make a fairly
quick ground cover, but is nowhere near as invasive as the straight species.

RAOULIA AUSTRALIS ................................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Beautiful silvery gray vegetable sheep from New Zealand this species forms ground hugging
cushions of intensely silver tiny leaves. I find it relatively easy in pots and troughs but kill it
quickly every time I plant it out, customers who live nearby report yard wide mats, I wish I could
figure out what it wants in the garden. "Been there killed lots and lots of that".

RAOULIA HOOKERI VAR. ALBO-SERICEA ........................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

At first glance much like australis, on closer inspection the rosettes are slightly larger, and the
cushion has a different texture; a nice silvery mat former, easy as long as you don.t dry it to a
crunch.

REHMANNIA ELATA .................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Named for the Russian botanist Joseph Rehmann, Rehmannia has been classified both a
Scroph and a Gesnariad and the debate is still not settled. R. elata bears large pink bells with
yellow spotted throats, unlike Rehmannia glutinosa this is tender here and need to be wintered
in the greenhouse, however it blooms for months and is worth the hassle to drag it in.

RHODODENDRONS - .......................................................... SEE SHRUB LISTING

RHODIOLA SP 03 CH 165 ........................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Hans from Shady Oaks collected these from China in 2003, cute little sedum like plants if they
flower this spring I will try to get an id.

RODGERSIA

Wonderful bold foliage effects for shade gardens or pondsides, our current
crop is the best we have had to date. If you make it out to the nursery, it could
take all day to pick the perfect plant from the thousands of different clones we
have available, or order and let us choose you won.t be disappointed.

RODGERSIA AESCULIFOLIA ................................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

After growing Rodgersias for a number of years, I.ve come to the conclusion that none of the
pure species exist in cultivation. Even if the plants look right like these, with Horse Chestnut
foliage and so forth they are probably hybrids, which is actually good from a garden standpoint,
being more amenable to cultivation with a bit of hybrid vigor and all.

RODGERSIA HENRICI HYBRIDS ............................................................ PRICE 1@ $12.00

Much like pinnata but taller, with dark red seed capsules and a darker general aspect. Be sure
to allow plenty of space for all Rodgersias, since they grow slowly but eventually reach an
impressive size. These are my favorite discounting the fact that Astilboides has been removed
from the genus, but it is after all in a class by itself.

RODGERSIA PINNATA .............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $12.00

The parent of many of the garden hybrids and a fine plant in its own right, a Chinese species
usually with pink flowers.

RODGERSIA SAMBUCIFOLIA .................................................................. PRICE 1@ $12.00

Elder like leaves and white flowers in plumes like a large Astilbe, this is a seldom seen species
it looks great with other vigorous shade lovers.

ROSCOEA AURICULATA ............................................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

A large broad leafed species, rather stout stemmed that is native to Sikkim, Nepal and Tibet;
somewhat intermediate between purpurea and humeana, distinguished by eared appendages at

would be considered great treasures. We urge you to take a fresh look at

I think she was pregnant. Now that that is settled how about a portrait done in semps, I have
one of those mosaic programs and if you load up enough semp pictures, it will produce Mona
Houseleek. I am tempted to actually plant it in the garden; it could start a completely new trend
in rock gardening. If anyone does actually plant this, please send a photo.

SERRATULA SEOANEI V. MINOR (Centaurea simplicifolia) ..................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Punnett brought us this odd little plant that he grew for years under the name Centaurea
simplicifolia, and indeed it does look like a dwarf mat forming Centaurea. Panyoti noticed it
when he was here last year. It turns out is not a Centaurea but Serratula seoanei v. minor a
plant he thought lost to cultivation and one that was on his wish list. Mat forming with lyrate gray
felted leaves and 3cm rosy pink flowers. It is native to Portugal and Spain and closely related to
Serratula tinctoria.

SESELI GUMMIFERUM ................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Moon carrot, We grew this years ago but I don.t think we ever cataloged it, an oversight which
we have rectified. It is an odd little umbellifer with lovely filigree bluish gray glaucous foliage that
is attractive as a food plant for Black Swallowtail butterflies and pure white umbels of Queen
Ann.s Lace flowers. This has been a huge hit in the display garden.

the limestones of Toros Dagh at 2,300m, 20-40cm plants with gray- green leaves, dense heads
of yellow flowers on 10-20cm stems, I think they are right.

the field like bedding plants.

SILENE ACAULIS 'FRANCES' ................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

stars. This Scottish selection ranks among the best.

A European species with nodding fragrant flowers that open in the evening, it is border fodder
not rock garden material.

with contrasting backs.

SILENE UNIFLORA 'DRUITT'S VARIEGATED' ..................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Druids variegated would be more befitting our taste, but they failed to consult me when picking
the name, this mat former has broad creamy edged leaves that give it a refined look. The puffy
white flowers are almost an afterthought.

SILENE WALDSTEINII .................................................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

A densely tufted plant from the Pirin Mountains of Bulgaria with pinkish purple flowers, strangely
enough it is overlooked by everyone from Farrer to the AGS Book. Mojmir found it at 2300m.

SILPHIUM INTEGRIFOLIUM .................................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

A big Prairie Dock Compass Plant thing if you like big composites you will love it.

Fred was pushing this as a native that deserved more garden exposure, and it is impressive,
this yellow flowered monster is tall enough to play in the NBA.

SISYRINCHIUM 'E.K. BALLS' ................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Was that Ping Pong balls Or King Kong balls? I couldn.t hear it over the AC/DC song, its flowers
are as big as, well never mind, but it.s probably a cross between S. bella and S. idahoense v
macounii.

SMILACINA BICOLOR ............................................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

A Korean species and the only info I could find was in Korean. It suffers a bit from the Google
translation, here are a few highlights. “ The beard root to the genitals is born from the joint” “
both sides flow in lower part and becoming the short leaf sack” “ is projection where the hair
sleeps almost without above reverse side pulse” and my favorite “the flower stalk comes out
from the armpit of the gun…. the flower runs”. Fortunately, a picture is worth more than a
Google translation and the site has several good ones.

SMILACINA RACEMOSA ............................................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

Husky woodland plants of considerable beauty, the arching stems of False Solomon.s Seal
carry fluffy white flowers in plume like terminal racemes followed by berries like vitrified drops of
bright blood in autumn. Smilacina too has some Asian counterparts, which are great garden
plants.

finally have enough to offer.

A dwarf version of canadensis with large flowers it is the best Solidago for the perennial border
and very impressive in the late summer. It.s pollen is viscid and does not cause hay fever
however it is loved by locust borers and soldier beetles and a good place to look for cryptically
colored assassin bugs.

SOLIDAGO CUTLERI ................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Horribly confused with Solidago brachystachys and Solidago virgaurea by any name it is a cute
little dwarf golden rod. It is an eastern American tufted species found at altitude with showy
corymbs of yellow flowers atop short stems in late summer

SOLIDAGO RIGIDA ....................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

I had this whole stiff rod thing going but it fell apart when it came to exploding with spurts of
yellow, which sounds far too much like Gonorrhea.

SPEIRANTHA CONVALLARIOIDES (GARDENII) .................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

A monotypic Lily of the Valley relative form the Jiangxi region of China, this slowly creeping
evergreen woodlander is rarely encountered in gardens and prefers a lime free soil, the starry

This is supposed to be the best of the non-flowering Lamb.s Ears, it has been known to throw
the occasional spike of magenta flowers but is generally flower free.

STACHYS CANDIDA ..................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Similar to chrysantha except the flowers are white with purple spots, both make fine additions to
a dry sunny rock garden.

STACHYS CHRYSANTHA .......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Tufted, 8", white tomentose stems, crowded spikes of bright yellow flowers, Greece.

STACHYS LAVENDULIFOLIA .................................................................. PRICE 1@ $12.00

By far my favorite Stachys, these are from Mojmir.s collections at 1700m on the sandy hills near
Horsan, Turkey; flowers are mauve in whorls up the stems, subtended by dissected fuzzy bracts
giving a smoky appearance from a distance. A legendary plant and difficult, at least in the Mid
West, it detests too much wet, melting without warning, definitely not for beginners.

STACHYS MACRANTHA ............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

A big species for the perennial garden with masses of pinkish purple flowers whorled densly on
the 2. flowering stems.

STOKESIA LAEVIS 'OMEGA SKYROCKET' ........................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A Stokesia on GA3, the stems stretch to 4', it's definitely different and may or may not be a
breakthrough in new plant breeding, depending on your point of view; someone must think so
because the seed is very expensive.

STOMATIUM MUSTELLINUM .................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Reaching the altitudinal limit for the species this is a nice and quite hardy ice plant that produces
yellow narrow petaled flowers for most of the summer.

STOMATIUM SP. EX KELDERBERG SOUTHERLAND ........................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

I lost track of where this came from although it may have been from a Denver Botanic Gardens
collection in any event it is yet another mesemb.

STROBOLANTHES ATROPURPUREA ..................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

In the Acanthacaea, an erect branching perennial to 2m native to Siberia, or the Himalayas
depending on whom you read, with the unlikely name of Mexican Petunia??? No doubt due to
the spikes of 2" tubular blue purple flowers that are bent into a hook shape; see photo in Rix, we
just have a few.

SUCCISELLA INFLEXA 'FROSTED PEARLS' ........................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

I had Succisella confused with Succisa, which is a monotypic Teasel relative, the only species
being Succisa pratensis; therefore Succisa inflexa caught my eye which had corrupted it from
Succisella. The photo on the Jelitto website didn.t suck but what to make of this succubus
daemon spawn plant with it.s kinky frosted pearls and rigid parts? Be daring plant this sucker,
you.ll thank me later (pearls are fine but I prefer blacks to frosted).

SYMPHYTUM IBERICUM .......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Like many plants the solid green form flowers much heavier than the variegated version, this
puts on an impressive floral display so much so that I actually prefer it to „Goldsmith..

SYMPHYTUM IBERICUM 'GOLDSMITH' ............................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

A dwarf Comfrey with broad gold variegation, its rather showy but like many variegated plant it
tends to throw all green shoots, which can overgrow it if not removed.

SYMPLOCARPUS FOETIDUS .................................................................. PRICE 1@ $12.00

A cool native arum with purple flowers that actually melt their way through the snow in spring, it
is one of the first plants to bloom and a welcome sign of spring., these are from our native
colonony which thrives in our wet woods and even on moister shadier sections of our lawn.
Huge old plants require a backhoe to dig, trust me it is better to hunt for seedlings. it is very
popular in europe so much so that Kew keeps it under lock and key. albino and variegated
forms occur and are worth seeking out.

SYNTHRIS PINNATIFIDA VAR. LACINIATA Ratko 99-475 .................. PRICE 1@ $12.00

Its true I have done miserably with synthris over the years; seeing where these were collected, it
is not surprising, (moist alpine tundra in gravelly soils at the base of late melting snow banks). In
fact this is the first large batch that has ever done well; the dense tufts of deeply laciniated bright
green orbicular leaves and feathery deep purple flowers on 2” spikes which emerge before the
leaves are worth the fuss; Ron.s collection at 11,800. on Delano peak in the Tushar Mts.

garden.

plant can get, flowers don't matter, Turkey.

TANACETUM NIVEUM ................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Seed grown from cultivated material from Alplains, this form is a bit different from plants we
have grown under this name in the past. Rosettes of silvery green dissected foliage, clouds of

resistant under wet conditions.

My favorite dandelion, large pure white flowers, at one time I had only a single plant, which
narrowly escaped disaster at the hands of employees and visitors who kept trying to be helpful
and weed it out. Not to worry they are all hanging out with Hoffa and the plant finally flowered
and set seed; so now, we have plenty.

TARAXICUM LEUCANTHUM ..................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A tiny plant that Mojmir found at 3500m in the Pamirs of Kyrgyzstan growing near water with
solitary white to yellow flowers atop 5-15cm scapes above rosettes of linear leaves.

TARAXACUM PAMIRICUM JJH9209 395 ................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A charming dandelion from the Pamirs with lovely pinkish white flowers. Halda sent us this as a
freebie and it has proved to be a wonderful rock garden plant, definitely not a weed.

that came to us from Siskiyou.

house.

leaves and whorls of pinky purple flowers.

yellow flowers.

white flowers with very conspicuous stamens to 1.5m.

more than make up for it in the grace department.

Very tiny whatever the name, cute fern like gray green leaves, nice in a trough, don't bother with
the flowers.

heads of bright pink flowers, extremely showy.

cultivated plants, these seem to be the pure species but contain enough variability to make for
some interesting selections.

THYMUS NITENS .......................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A rare species, it makes a nice specimen for a larger trough, the dark evergreen foliage and
multitudes of huge pink flowers make it very popular here.

THYMUS PRAECOX SSP. ARCTICUS COCCINEUS ............................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

The so-called red flowered creeping Thyme, we listed it as serpyllum coccineus previously; this
is the more correct name; flowers are more reddish purple to my eye, the name apparently
refers to the red winter foliage. A super plant for ground cover, it doesn.t seem to mind being
stepped on and flowers all summer.

THYMUS PSEUDOMASTICHINA ............................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

I.m unclear if this is really a species or just a mis-named plant that passes for mastichina.

THYMUS QUINQUECOSTATUS IBUKIENSIS ....................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Choice low mat former with abundant large pink flowers from Japan; one of the showiest thyme

like minus.

THYMUS SERPHYLLUM ELFIN ................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Tight domes of microscopic leaves that hump up to form a rock hard high-domed cushions that
rival Gypsophila aretioides in quality. It rarely flowers which hardly matters, „Elfin. is by far the
finest Thyme for trough culture or for planting in crevices between pavers, this ranks as one of
the top cushion plants we have ever grown, but beware of inferior clones that are often
distributed under this name.

THYMUS SERPYLLUM MINUS .................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

The plant often passed off as Elfin in the trade, flat mats only 1/4 inch high of tiny leaves, it hugs
the contours of the ground, beautiful between paving stones it doesn't dome up like Elfin, and is
much faster growing and one of the best.

TRADESCANTIA SWEET KATE ................................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

Brilliant golden foliage and dark blue-purple flowers this one is best in part shade.

TRICYRTIS

Until recently, the Toad Lilies have languished in obscurity. I always grew a
broad selection but I also loved toads; their golden eyes, the cute way they
suck them in to help them swallow, the alien sounding trilling calls, Amplexus
in the spring was always a big event, at least for the anurans. Well maybe not
just for the anurans, but I digress. Tricyrtis have become trendy. All those
Hosta growers are getting tired of monocultures and branching out into other
shade lovers and Tricyrtis have a lot to offer. They are for the most part easy
to grow, and flower late in the season when they can command your full
attention. The flowers are complex often intricately spotted with an
understated exotic charm. Non-gardeners, seeing them for the first time often
ask if they are some kind of Orchid. Most species are stoloniferus and will
quickly clump up in the garden; division is generally unnecessary however, if
you do divide, clumps discard the eyes that flowered and save the new eyes.
The rosette that flowers generally goes monocarpic, a fact that is obscured by
the many new plantlets.

TRICYRTIS ANGEL'S HALO ...................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

This has kicked around the nursery since 1998 and we decided it was time it paid for its keep,
buy it or we will be forced to sacrifice it to Cthulu.

TRICYRTIS 'ECO SNOW LEOPARD' ........................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

Another of Hammer.s castoffs, Jim is very opinionated as to what is worthy of garden space; we
plant anything and rarely get out the roundup.

TRICYRTIS 'AMANDOGAWA' ('ECO YELLOW SPANGLES') ......... PRICE 1@ $12.00

A hybrid between T. bakeri and T. flava with arching stems bearing light yellow open flowers
spotted with red dots. Langhammer deemed it inferior and ripped it out of his garden which is
how we came by it, we will reserve judgment until we see it flower, some of Hammers castoffs
turn out to be very good plants.

TRICYRTIS X 'KOHAKU' ......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

An outstanding hybrid between hirta and macrantha ssp. Macranthopsis it is yellow in bud like
Macranthopsis but opens to a specked flat 'Miyazaki' like flower but with a more yellowish
background.

TRICYRTIS X 'MIYAZAKI' .......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Lovely fall blooming Toad Lily from Japan, strange speckled blossoms produced in the leaf axils
on graceful arching stems. I love them, but then again, I also love toads, especially the giant
mouse eating varieties; anything that eats mice is O.K. in my book. This plant is often sold as a
hirta but Hammer said lose it; it only adds to the confusion.

TRICYRTIS 'RASPBERRY MOUSSE' ..................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

A new one from Sunny Border it is another dark petaled hirta a bit lighter than „Kinkazan. these
spontaneous dark forms show up frequently so much so that I suspect they are Viral induced.

TRICYRTIS AFF. OHSUMIENSIS ............................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

Yellow spotted flowers in mid summer, Langhammer identified these, keyed and compared to
his extensive collection of living material. Tricyrtis are hopelessly messed up in the nursery
trade, but little by little, we are getting them sorted out.

TRICYRTIS AFF. HIRTA ............................................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

Pure hirta or something very close to it. Hammer says they look right; purple spotted flowers in
autumn. If someone questions the veracity of these in your garden, simply kneel down and peer
closely at the plant, pick a flower and carefully tear it apart all the time muttering to yourself; (it
helps if you can produce a hand lens at this point). Point out to them the tiny (nonexistent) hairs
on the ovary, and insist it must be correct; works on all but the best.

TRICYRTIS AFF. HIRTA DARK SELECT („KINKAZAN.) ..................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

As above but with the spotting on the petals fused giving the effect of an overall dark petal. The
British National Collection has a photo of a plant they are calling T. hirta „Kinkazan. which
appears identical and is probably the same plant.

TRICYRTIS AFF SETOUCHIENIS ........................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

An extremely large flowered plant that we got from Langhammer, Jim insists it keys to
setochinensis however it is quite different from the Heronswood setochinensis we offer. I believe
he got this from a plant sale so it is always possible it is some sort of hybrid.

TRICYRTIS AFFINIS Ex Rothman ............................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

The plants that have flowered to date have been the attractive albida form, although it would not
surprise me to have a few spotted ones show up. Rothman.s stuff is usually quite true to name
but he likes his toadies and anytime more than a single species is grown hybrids are likely.

TRICYRTIS AFFINIS PURPLE EYE ....................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

As the name says this has a purple eyeother than that it is pretty typical Tricyrtis affinis.

TRICYRTIS DILATATA Ex Rothman ........................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Jim Langhammer did see them bloom and says they are right, but that most authorities consider
dilatata to be synonymous with macropoda, we retain dilatata for provenance if nothing else.

TRICYRTIS DILITATA RED ...................................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Dilitata is taxonomically close to macropoda, so take your pick as to name, the flowers are
indeed red or at least what passes for red in Trycirtis. I really like it but I freely admit I am a
sucker for trycirtis and want them all.

TRICYRTIS FORMOSANA TRUE ............................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

These are the real thing, at least according to Hinkley, Hammer seemed less confident. A very
late flowering plant that is on the tender side. 3. stems topped with dark flowers, and more
popping from the axils, true or not, it is a lovely plant.

TRICYRTIS FORMOSANA VARIEGATA .................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

An attractive variegated form of formosana from Heronswood stock that Hinkley brought back
from Japan, very nice and quite rare in gardens, I find formosana a bit tender.

TRICYRTIS HIRTA ALBA ........................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

From Langhammer's seed, Jim has seen them in bloom and proclaims them pure hirta Alba.

TRICYRTIS HIRTA 'MOONLIGHT' ............................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

A chartreuse sport of hirta „Variegata. the leaf color is unique and eye catching, this needs a fair
bit of shade, or it will burn.

TRICYRTIS HIRTA 'VARIEGATA' ............................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

One of the many variegated forms of hirta that has been selected over the years this has a neat
narrow edge of creamy white on the leaves and the typical purple speckled hirta flowers.

TRICYRTIS HIRTA EX 'WHITE TOWER' Ex Rothman ............................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

Seed grown material from Rothmans clone of „White Tower., expect some variation.

TRICYRTIS JAPENESE HYB. 'HATATOGISA' ...................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Formosana hybrid, amethyst flowers face upward on branching scapes, very showy and unlike
pure formosana its hardy here; great for late fall color.

TRICYRTIS MACRANTHA (ssp. macranthopsis) .................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Previously offered as ssp. Macranthopsis, Langhammer keyed it and insists it is straight
macrantha and I trust Jim.s taxonomy. A trailing species with long tubular yellow flowers
speckled on the interior with burgundy, best appreciated trailing down from a high rock wall
where you can gaze upward into the interior of the flowers or even in a hanging basket. We
normally disdain baskets but could easily make this an exception.

TRICYRTIS MACROPODA YUNGI TEMPLE FORM .............................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

A robust form of macropoda with stems that can reach 5. in height, this flowers in the axils as
well as producing the typical terminal display of lavender spotted flowers.

TRICYRTIS SETOUCHIENIS HC 92 ....................................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

A rare species endemic to the Seto Inland Sea region of Eastern Japan, stems to 2.5. with
purple spotted exceptionally broad petaled flowers. It is a good grower clumping up quickly and
performing well for us.

TRICYRTIS STOLONIFERA PINK FORM Ex Hammer ............................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

A nice pink selection from Jim, its always nice to release some of the things we carefully hoard.
Brigitta and I cleaned the stock house this fall and quite a number of lost treasures appeared.

TRICYRTIS SP. CHINESE DWARF ......................................................... PRICE 1@ $15.00

Another courtesy of Yinger it forms colonies of short stems topped by stolonifera like flowers it
makes an interesting groundcover.

TROLLIUS ASIATICUS ................................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Essentially a shorter more Eastern version of europaeus, flowers are usually deep yellow but
can be orange.

TROLLIUS HONDOENSIS ........................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Yellow flowers to 4cm across with a long spur, leaves 5 lobed, from Chile in shady places near
streams, flowering Oct-Jan. there, hardy in England and possibly here once established as the
tuberous roots can go deep. Almost never offered, if you've tried Tropaeolum from seed you
know it can take many years to germinate.

VACCINIUM ........................................................................ SEE SHRUB LISTING

TUNICA (PETRORRAGHIA) SAXIFRAGA FL.PL ................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Also known as Kohlrauschia saxifraga I used to grow this years ago, and had nearly forgotten
about it until Dick hauled it in from his garden. Tufted from a woody rootstock this forms a
network of fine twiggy stems and small linear leaves the fully double pink flowers give a Baby.s
Breath like impression. This unusual little Dianthus relative puts on quite a show.

UMBILICUS RUPESTRIS ............................................................................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

Strange succulent plant; leaves like fleshy umbrellas, tuberous roots, flowers whitish pink in a
conical spike this too is known as Navelwort. What is it with the belly button plant thing? First
Omphloides verna and now this, fleshy umbrellas; it just creeps me out.

VALERIANA ARIZONICA ............................................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Low cushions of orbicular leaves and fairly dense corymbs of white to pink flowers on 20-30cm
stems, this is one of the more widely grown western species.

VALERIANA PHU 'AUREA' ......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Valeriana phu is the long cultivated source of medicinal Valerian, a mild tranquilizer, phu
probably refers to the smell as in phuuuu this really stinks. The plant however is very attractive
coming up brilliant gold in spring and eventually turning lime green. Its tall to 1.5m with
officianalis like clusters of white flowers.

VALERIANA SCOULERI Ratko 97-290 ........................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Ron.s collections from Scorpion Butte in OR. at 4500. where it forms foot wide mounds of pale
green leaves topped by branching clusters of fragrant pink flowers atop 8-16” stems.

VALERIANA SUPINA ................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A gem from the high alpine moist limestone screes and streamsides in the Alps, it forms low
mats of ovate foliage with cymes of fragrant pink flowers on 10cm stems.

VANCOUVERIA HEXANDRA .................................................................... PRICE 1@ $12.00

A white flowered deciduous species from the Pacific Northwest, like the other species, it needs
rich woodland conditions.

VANIA CAMPYLOPHYLLA .......................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A strange little crucifer collected from cool limestone screes near Kavussahap Turkey at 2600m.
Cushions of succulent almost sedum like grayish green foliage and white flowers on 5cm stems.
It is cute and quite distinct.

VELLA SPINOSA ........................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

"A strange angry small crucifer" Farrer, intricately branching subshrub with hardly a leaf to it's
name presenting a hedgehog of thorns, yellow flowers veined violet.


VERBASCUM HYBRID 'LETITIA' .............................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

A sterile hybrid from Wisley with 8” spikes of yellow flowers, its incredibly floriferous, it needs to
be frequently propagated as older plants may go monocarpic.

VERBENA CANADENSIS 'LILAC TIME' .................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Despite the Sesame Street name this is rather nice, the fragrant lilac flowers are loved by
butterflies. It is not as hardy as some of the canadensis forms but survives most years here. If
anyone is growing wild types from a northern seed source I.d like to hear from them.

VERBENA MACDOUGALLII ....................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A western version of Vervain, meter high plants with deep purple flowers.

VERBENA PERUVIANA ............................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

but apparently, it will winter around here with protection.

VERBENA STRICTA ..................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Hoary Vervain, only 3. high but strict, this one will mess around with Verbena hastata.

VERONICA

A wonderful genus with a little something for everyone; at one end of the
spectrum are the tall border species. Perennials that provide months of color
are loved by butterflies and have such an ease of culture that little short of
roundup will do them in. At the other end of the spectrum, there are some of
the choicest of alpine plants, perfect for troughs, the alpine house, or that
special place in the rock garden. In between are many great plants for
general rock garden use or for edging borders and what have you. We think
we have assembled a wonderful collection that like fine wine needs to be
sampled to fully appreciate it.

VERONICA CINEREA ORIGINAL ARCHIBALD .................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

My favorite Veronica back again after several years absence, gray cushions that cascade
beautifully over rocks, misty blue flowers for a long period in summer, from Archibald seed this

A well-known hybrid, very free flowering, if quickly forms medium sized mounds, one of the best

range from violet to bright blue.

A very distinctive Siberian species with feathery dissected foliage and long spires of ice blue
flowers.

VERONICA PONAE ....................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

none of the standard references list it.

VERONICA PORPHYRIANA ....................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Low creeping mats of foliate topped with multitudes of short dense spikes of deep purplish blue
flowers. It is the best new veronica we have seen in years.

VERONICA PROSTRATA „ICE BLUE. ...................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A selection from the Punnett garden. Dick is very fond of these two despite the fact that they
seem a bit mundane compared to much of what he grows.

VERONICA PROSTRATA „DICK'S WINE. ............................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

He'll need some wine if he hangs around this crazy place for any length of time. An unusual
color for veronica, the abundant short spires are produced from low creeping mats; an easy,
showy species.

VERONICA PSEUDOCINEREA .................................................................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Also listed as V. thymoides ssp. pseudocinerea; looks a bit like cinerea, what a surprise,
another good one from Turkey and seldom offered.

VERONICA REPENS 'SUNSHINE' ............................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

most attractive plant.

Shaggy carpets of gray green leaves; like a shorter form of cuneifolia, bright azure flowers on
very short racemes, Turkey.

VERONICASTRUM VIRGINICUM VIRGINICUM ALBA ....................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Whorled leaves on 3-6. stems topped by a three-dimensional fish spear of white flowers, I prefer
them naturalized along woodland edges.

VINCA MAJOR VARIEGATA ...................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

An attractive large leafed variegated form, dick brought us this years aro and somehow we
never got around to propagating it, not that it needs any help, it is currently trying to eat
greenhouse 2, on the other hand it is a dead easy groundcover and perhaps less aggressive
than vinca minor.

VINCA MINOR „BOWLES VARIETY. ......................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

If one more moron walks up to me holding a Dionysia and asks, “Is this a groundcover” we are
going to feed him to the deadly attack Vinca. Its perfect for covering those unsightly disturbed
areas where the bodies are buried, not to mention strangling out every other plant except large
trees. The green desert at Hidden Lake is an abomination that needs a few gallons of Roundup.
The weird thing is the weed police don.t even seem to make a fuss over it, go figure, think of it
as the low blue flowering Kudzu.

VINCA MINOR 'EMILY JOY' WHITE ........................................................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

A slightly less rampant white flowered form.

VIOLA JOOI .................................................................................................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

An attractive pink flowered Violet that doesn.t make a nuisance out of itself. I prefer the older
name V. transylvanica.

VIOLA PEDATA MICHIGAN FORM ............................................................ PRICE 1@ $8.00

One of the most desirable Violets, dissected leaves and flowers larger than any other native
species. Needs sandy soil in sun to light shade and will seed profusely if happy, a very special
Violet. It is believed to be the preferred food plant of the Great Spangled Fritillary, a beautiful
species that has declined to the brink of extinction in Michigan.

VIOLA PEDATA BICOLOR ........................................................................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

This is an Ozark form with highly dissected very narrow foliage and very large bicolor flowers, it
does not intergrade with the non bicolor form according to Ron and may indeed be a separate
species. It does not seed around for me but collected seed germinates usually in the second
year. We only have enough of these to offer every few years so don.t miss out, if you want to
