VINES

HOME - BACK TO CATALOG INDEX

I cannot imagine a garden without vines, in our garden, nearly every tree has a vine, some have more than one, we scramble them through shrubs and even build the occasional trellis, although I much prefer the natural look. They are also great as groundcovers. If a tree they are growing on falls just peel off the vine, it will hide the stump and make a great groundcover. Most vines want shade or at least to have their roots in the shade, although they may not flower until they climb up into the sunlight of the upper canopy. Some are programmed not to flower until they are no longer touching anything. If you think about it, evolving the ability to climb sort of implies something to climb on. Sun loving vines tend to have fewer climbing adaptations. Vines are also a royal pain in the grass from a nurseryman.s perspective they grow into one another and into nearby plants, and whenever someone wants to buy one it takes forever to disentangle it.

ACTINIDIA POLYGAMA ........................................................................... PRICE. -1@ $29.00

We previously offered this rare climber as kolomitka and like kolomitka, the new foliage is
supposed to be variegated pink and silver, this only occurs on mature specimens. Young plants
are all green, and distinguished by both the chambered pith and their amazing attraction to cats,
which treat them like catnip.

AKEBIA QUINATA VARIEGATA ........................................................... PRICE. -1@ $19.00

This survived being lightning struck and having a wire trellis vaporized from beneath it. If
anything it seems to have improved the intensity of the variegation (it tends to be slow for an
Akebia due to all the white).

AKEBIA TRIFOLIATA .............................................................................. PRICE. -1@ $29.00

Known as Chocolate Vine, this spectacular climber boasts ¾” dark maroon flowers that smell of
vanilla which are followed by sweet edible fruit (Hinkley describes a yummy sounding
translucent grub like edible mass filled with seeds). A hardy member of the Lardizabulacaea, the
Koreans use it to flavor soju. We.ll stick to sniffing the flowers and admiring the highly
ornamental trifoliate foliage.

AMPELOPSIS ACONITIFOLIA ............................................................... PRICE. -1@ $19.00

A neat climber from northern China and Mongolia, aptly named the leaves do look like an
aconite, fruits are blue. I like it scrambling through deciduous shrubs.

AMPELOPSIS BREVIPEDUNCULATA ELEGANS ............................. PRICE. -1@ $24.00

Climbing vine with variegated leaves and very showy blue porcelain like berries, flowers are not
showy but very attractive to bees; from China and Japan. Cuttings from the original plant Jim
Briggs gave us, which eventually ate a part of our shade structure.

ARAUJIA SERICIFERA CRUEL PLANT .............................................. PRICE. -1@ $19.00

A strange climbing Milkweed from South America, Hoya-like clusters of fragrant white 3cm wide
flowers are attractive to night flying moths that they capture by the proboscis in the manner of
some alien Venus Flytrap, holding them in bondage until they fertilize the flower. Failure to
perform results in a desiccated moth corpse hanging pendulum fashion by its tongue, fertilized
flowers develop slowly for nearly a year into large inflated pods filled with silken parachutes; the
perfect conversation piece for a boring deck or patio.

ARISTOLOCHIA BAETICA ..................................................................... PRICE. -1@ $19.00

A rare Eurasian species courtesy of Mojmir, more of a scrambler than a vine it is small leafed
with typical bizarre flowers. Butterflies have shown no interest so far.

ARISTOLOCHIA CLEMATIS ................................................................. PRICE. -1@ $19.00

Birthwort contains alkaloids that cause uterine contractions (the Druids version of RU422 but not
nearly as safe, Don't eat it and don't picket us), curious pipe like flowers, weakly climbing vine,
Europe. One of the high points of last summer was sitting around talking ferns with Dr. Storer,
only to have him spot a 5th instar Papilio (Battus) philenor larva come crawling by, an event so
unlikely that at first I thought it a joke. I.ve collected for years and never seen it in this part of
Michigan; I figured Herb Wagner must have given him a larva or something. When I went to the
garden to find it something to munch on there they were, 1.5” purple black, with magnificent
fleshy tentacles like something out of the rainforest, devouring my Aristolochia clematis. We
reared and released a couple dozen of the most incredible metallic blue green Pipevine
swallowtails. They stayed around the nursery for weeks sipping from our mud puddles each
morning but vanishing during the day. “If you grow it they will come,” they sensed the only
available food for miles and came here to lay eggs.

ARISTOLOCHIA MACROPHYLLA (DURIOR) .................................... PRICE. -1@ $19.00

A classic Appalachian native vine for shading porches, we have it on a big silver maple and it is
reaching for the canopy. It is quite a sight when in flower and even better when you can look up
and see dozens of Pipevine caterpillars clinging to the underside of the leaves, true they prefer
A. clematis but macrophylla has the advantage of extra biomass, eliminating the defoliation
problem. Our colony of Philenor now seems permanent.

ARISTOLOCHIA MANSCHURIENSIS HC 970157 ........................... PRICE. -1@ $24.00

A relict wood liana collected by Hinkley, it is spectacular in flower but difficult to root. Dick stuck
cuttings for years with little to show for it. Last year we finally figured it out (or got lucky) and
rooted a fair number. Your local pipevine swallowtails will thank us.

BIGNONIA CAPREOLATA 'TANGERINE BEAUTY' ......................... PRICE. -1@ $19.00

A monotypic vine native to the Southeastern United States related to Trumpet Vine (which it
hybridizes with to yield some spectacular hybrids). „Tangerine Beauty. has been around for
years but gained new popularity when it was promoted by the late J.C. Raulston.

CALYSTEGIA HEDERACEA FL. PL. .................................................... PRICE. -1@ $19.00

Vigorous vine to 8' or more with abundant double pink morning glories, a cool new vine, we
grow it in a barrel. It tends to run underground rather quickly, and while this is great for covering
fences its a problem in small gardens.

CALYSTEGIA SOLDANELLA Ratko 99-85.............................................. PRICE. -1@ $19.00

Exceedingly rare in cultivation with short trailing stems of Soldanella-like leaves often with
intricate white veining, radiating from a fleshy root, and giving rise to exquisite 2” morning glory
flowers, rose pink with a conspicuous white star in the center and born in the leaf axils. Given its
collection locality from 100. above sea level on stabilized dunes south of Eureka, Ca, its not
likely to prove hardy here (these were actually collected by Diana Chapman and distributed by
Ron); nevertheless, I.m enchanted by it.

CALYSTEGIA MACROSTEGIA SSP. CYCLOSTEGIA ...................... PRICE. -1@ $19.00

Big creamy white morning gblory flowers and fine textured foliage, there are good pictures on
the calphoto web site, these are from a Ratko collection.

CAMPSIS RADICANS FLAVA .................................................................PRICE. -1@ $24.00

We never seem to have much of this, (Dick is not a big fan of Campsis so it goes to the bottom
of the cut list), but I like it for its yellow flowers and am still mad that a brain dead former
employee ripped my stock plant out of the display garden.

CAMPSIS RADICANS 'VARIEGATA' ....................................................PRICE. -1@ $39.00

A streaky splashy variegated form that we keep hoping will edge or center stabilize, flowers are
typical orange.

CAMPSIS RADICANS 'FLAMINGO' .......................................................PRICE. -1@ $29.00

I bought it based on the name, and have yet to see flowers, my mental image being pink. Who
ever heard of an orange flamingo? In the age of Photoshop orange can become pink with a
mouse click, so I make no guarantees.

CAMPSIS X TAGLIABUANA 'MADAM GALEN' .................................... PRICE - $24.00

A very large flowered hybrid, C. radicans x C. grandiflora, the rich apricot flowers can flare to
8cm wide, nearly twice that of radicans.

CELASTRUS SCANDENS ........................................................................PRICE. -1@ $24.00

This came to us as scandens from a North Carolina source so it probably is the native one,
however I did not look at it closely when it was in fruit. If I.m wrong and you hate it, you can
always cut it down and make some great rustic furniture.

CLEMATIS ADDISONII EX HANS .........................................................PRICE. -1@ $19.00

Endemic to just four counties in Virginia on dry, open rocky, woodlands and barrens overlaying
limestone. This rare Clematis features thick petaled pink flowers that are outstanding, much like
a pink viorna. Thanks to Hans at now at Walter.s Gardens for giving us the seed.

CLEMATIS AFF HOOKERIANA...............................................................PRICE. -1@ $19.00

Seed grown these are yellow flowered and belong somewhere in the orientalis-tangutica
complex and may represent hybrids. Some flowered for the first time last summer and were
quite nice. We are currently growing about 500 separate clones so there is the potential to name
a few selected ones. (I always hate to release unflowered plants but space is tight and some of
these have to go, if you get a flaming orange one I don.t even want to know).

CLEMATIS ALBICOMA ............................................................................PRICE. -1@ $19.00

Clematis albicoma is known only from shale barrens predominantly developed from the Upper
Devonian Brallier Formation in nine counties of western Virginia and adjacent West Virginia. this
rare clematis features thick petaled flowers are white to purplish pubescent on the outside and
white inside.

CLEMATIS ALPINA ...................................................................................PRICE. -1@ $19.00

Alpine Virgin.s Bower, if you grow it they will come, wait that doesn.t sound quite right. This
showy European species is at its best in the rock garden scrambling over rocks and twining
through shrubs. It is one of those things where one is just not enough.

CLEMATIS CHIISONENSIS ....................................................................PRICE. -1@ $15.00

A typically yellow flowered species from Korea related to alpina generally bearing tiny spurs at
the base of the ribbed sepals flowering on previous as well as current seasons growth.

CLEMATIS FORSTERI WIDE LEAF ......................................................PRICE. -1@ $19.00

A rarely seen New Zealander related to C. hookeriana and C. petriei the stems are wreathed
with peculiar greenish white lemon verbena scented flowers for many weeks.

CLEMATIS FUSCA ARCH 4.200.810 ....................................................PRICE. -1@ $24.00

A botanical curiosity for the connoisseurs collection, fusca looks like a fur covered viorna,
definitely not showy but irresistible nonetheless. Native from China and Russia to Japan and
Korea, it blooms on current seasons wood; prune hard in early spring.

CLEMATIS HERACLEIFOLIA .................................................................PRICE. -1@ $15.00

Native to scrubby slopes in central China this important non-climbing species, with its fragrant
hyacinth-like monoecious flowers belongs in every garden. It is best treated as a herbaceous
perennial, charming visitors with it.s invasive fragrance, swallowtail butterflies seem quite
attracted by its clusters of small tubular flowers.

CLEMATIS HERACLEIFOLIA 'ALAN BLOOM' ...................................PRICE. -1@ $19.00

A customer from Ohio brought us these. A bit richer in color and more compact than the
species, this is an attractive, easy, free blooming Clematis.

CLEMATIS INTEGRIFOLIA .....................................................................PRICE. -1@ $19.00

Not twining, it is more of a herbaceous perennial, with atypical leaves and lovely pendant thick
petaled blue flowers, almost 2" across. They are among the most graceful and demure
Clematis. Our seed originated with Betty Blake, it.s one of the best herbaceous species.

CLEMATIS INTEGRIFOLIA LAVENDER ..............................................PRICE. -1@ $19.00

Brigitta.s selection of an outstanding lilac lavender flowered plant, very different from the normal
purple-blue shades, integrifolia doesn.t yield much cutting material.

CLEMATIS INTEGRIFOLIA PINK ..........................................................PRICE. -1@ $19.00

Pink forms we selected from the best of our seedlings, all good pinks.

CLEMATIS MACROPETALA HYB .........................................................PRICE. -1@ $19.00

One of the largest flowered, small flowered Clematis - confusing hey - pendant long petaled
blooms with an ethereal translucent quality. It never fails to put on a fine spring display; neat
and attractive leaves unfolding simultaneously with the flowers, and the seed heads are
attractive well into the winter. We find these much more tasteful than their large flowered
cousins.


CLEMATIS MARMORARIA X PANICULATA LUNAR LASS ........... PRICE. -1@ $24.00

We have about 30 different clones from this cross ranging from small almost marmoraria like
plants to larger ones that take after paniculata. Many are variegated with splashes of deep
purple. Virtually all of them are good enough to be named. The best of these will be released at
a later date. The tentative name is Clematis 'Dark Side of the Moon' (Ender likes Pink Floyd).
For this year, we will offer our choice of cuttings from our stock plants and first releases of the
following similar clones.

CLEMATIS MARMORARIA X PANICULATA 'LUNAR LASS' #9 ............... -1@ $24.00

Sex unrecorded but it roots very easily.

CLEMATIS MARMORARIA X PANICULATA 'LUNAR LASS' #14 ........... . -1@ $24.00

A female clone selected primarily for its ease of reproduction, it roots fairly quickly.

CLEMATIS MONTANA #839 ................................................................... PRICE -1@ $19.00

From a Jurasek wild collection these may well prove hardier than most of the forms that are in
cultivation, abundant medium sized white flower.

CLEMATIS OCROLEUCA EX HANS ...................................................... PRICE -1@ $19.00

A fuzzy thick petaled yellowish white flowered plant native to the eastern costal states. if you like
addisonii and albicoma you will like this as well. I admit I am a sucker for all the small flowered
thick petaled ones.

CLEMATIS RECTA ................................................................................... PRICE. -1@ $15.00

A non-climbing clump forming herbaceous perennial that can reach 6. in height given a bit of
support from nearby plants, the large terminal panicles bear myriads of small star-like white
flowers.

CLEMATIS SERRATIFOLIA ................................................................... PRICE. -1@ $19.00

Soft yellow flowers with violet stamens like alpina in form, autumn blooming, Korea.

CLEMATIS VITICELLA ............................................................................ PRICE. -1@ $19.00

Not to be confused with the above, this is the parent of many of the large flowered hybrids, rich
deep purple blooms that look like a half scale Jackmanii.

DECUMARIA BARBARA 'BARBARA ANN' ......................................... PRICE.- 1@ $29.00

Mike Dirr.s selection of our native wood vamp, 'Barbara Ann' was a standout from a hundred
yards away due to its lustrous dark green foliage. This climbing hydrangea can grow to 40.
given sufficient moisture and a rich soil. Attractive not only for the excellent foliage but also for
the attractive corymbs of creamy white fragrant flowers.

DIOSCOREA BATATUS VARIEGATA ................................................... PRICE. -1@ $15.00

Cinnamon vine, a tropical climber that we grew up one of the posts around our check out area,
we had numerous requests .

DIOSCOREA QUINQUILOBATA HC 97060 .......................................... PRICE. -1@ $19.00

An exquisite thing Hinkley collected from along river valleys in Korea, where the boldly lobed
foliage twined to 15., erect axillary racemes of white flowers followed by chains of attractive
winged fruit, it ranks high among the 600 or so species in the genus.

DIOSCOREA VILLOSA ............................................................................ PRICE. -1@ $19.00

Tagged East slope 95 B 347, which I think is a Beal acquisition number; villosa is a rarely
offered species.

DREGEA SINENSIS VARIEGATA ......................................................... PRICE. -1@ $19.00

Wattakakka this was, who would change such a great name, Dregea sounds like floor
sweepings from a Jamaican barbershop. The plant is cool though, a climbing vine from China,
with 3” clusters of fragrant Hoya-like white flowers marked inside with pink stripes and spots.
The splashy variegated leaves are attractive as well, with milky sap typical of the
Asclepiadacaea.

HEDERA COLCHICA 'BATAMI' ............................................................. PRICE. -1@ $19.00

Colchicine indeed, King Kong could swing from this one. With monstrous nearly foot long leaves
it's hardly recognizable as an ivy; it has tetraploid vigor and then some. A named selection that
Hinkley got from Roy Lancaster, this has been in two of the finest private gardens in the world. I
wish I knew how they find time to trek around and maintain a garden, we go nowhere, and still
have little time for our private gardens.

HEDERA HELIX „GLACIER. .................................................................... PRICE. -1@ $19.00

I don't know how we got on the topic of Ivies but I mentioned to Punnett that I had rather given
up on Ivies because all the nice variegated ones turned out to be tender here. They were for
him as well with one exception, the name is a trifle questionable. It has been in his garden for a
long time, shortly after that talk, it appeared in our greenhouse. Sure enough, it is a very nice
variegated form.

HEDERA HELIX CURLEY ........................................................................ PRICE. -1@ $19.00

Jacques brought us this, when asked about the name he said it came from Punnett and to ask
him, he can.t remember either, nameless and cold hardy with ruffled leaves.

HEDERA HELIX 'HEDGEHOG' ............................................................... PRICE - 1@ $19.00

Congested growth of curly heavily ruffled and twisted leaves, an attractive dwarf cultivar from
Baldassare.

HOLBOELLIA CORIACEA ....................................................................... PRICE. -1@ $24.00

Plum purple fruits of disgusting edible goo, a choice vine with fragrant purple flowers and very
attractive glossy evergreen foliage. In warmer climates it will climb to 7m, here its barely
possible in the frost free zone up against a foundation and climbing a warm wall with some
microfoam stapled over it in winter.

HOLBOELLIA FARGESII DJHC 506 .................................................... PRICE. -1@ $29.00

Hinkley.s collections from the 99 Dragons; plum sized lavender fruits with a juicy seed filled
interior that are popular with the locals, clusters of fragrant lavender flowers in spring, palmate
evergreen foliage, an outstanding vine.

HOLBOELLIA LATIFOLIA HWJCM8 .................................................... PRICE. -1@ $24.00

"If I ever get out of here, I'm going to Katmandu"; wait, I'll never get out of here, but I don't have
to, Hinkley was already there and brought back this cool twining member of the
Lardizabalaceae. An elegant thing a bit reminiscent of Akebia, in the spring the lavender flowers
are tubular, dude, and are followed by plum sized purple fruit.

HUMULUS LUPULUS AUREUS ............................................................ PRICE. -1@ $15.00

I wanted this mostly as a food plant for Angle-Wing butterflies, a must for butterfly gardeners or
those who like fast growing vines; no chance of the caterpillars devouring this one.

HYDRANGEA ANOMOLA PETIOLARIS 'TILIIFOLIA' ...................... PRICE. -1@ $29.00

From Spring meadow who originally acquired it as Schizophragma „Brookside Littleleaf. we got it
primarily to compare with our plants of Brookside and also with Hydrangea quelpartensis We
have not had time to sort things out; the lack of flowers makes this a bit tough and I keep
forgetting to ask Tony.

HYDRANGEA ANOMOLA SSP. PETIOLARIS 'MIRANDA' ..............PRICE. -1@ $29.00

A gold edged variegated form of Climbing Hydrangea, not to be confused with Hydrangea
macrophylla serrata 'Miranda'. This 'Miranda. is a spectacular new vine; young plants take a few
years to come into their own but will eventually become quite large. There is some confusion
about the variegated forms of Hydrangea anomola ssp. petiolaris, „Miranda. and „Firefly. were
independently discovered at about the same time; unfortunately they are nearly
indistinguishable and may have been mixed up (not by us) during early propagation efforts.

HYDRANGEA SEEMANII .........................................................................PRICE. -1@ $29.00

A great stump the botanist plant, almost no one will guess Hydrangea (actually it is in section
Cornidia). The glossy thick textured leaves look more like an evergreen Magnolia than a
Hydrangea; this is supposed to climb by self-clinging stems but to date ours have remained
upright and shrub like with no hint of adventitious rootlets. Flowers are white in flat clusters, and
only produced on older plants; it can also be used as an evergreen ground cover in warmer
areas. Dan optimistically calls it zone 7, In colder areas grow it in a tub and winter it frost free. I
can believe it would do well as a house plant, its weird enough to make it worth the hassle of
hauling around.

KADSURA JAPONICA 970337 ..............................................................PRICE. -1@ $39.00

From a Heronswood collection of wild type material in Korea, these may well prove hardier than
the variegated forms. Kadsura is native from S. Korea to Taiwan, which may account for the
variable hardiness claims, I.m convinced enough to put a plant on a south facing wall and
microfoam it. My guess is zone 6 or 7 which is do-able here with plenty of protection. We froze
plants hard last fall and they dropped all their leaves, an excellent sign. Don.t confuse the genus
with Kudzu; Kadsura is a member of the Schisandraceae. The 2cm wide sulfur yellow flowers
are followed by 3cm scarlet red pendulous berry like fruits dangling from 3-4cm stalks in the leaf
axils.

KADSURA JAPONICA 'CHIRIFU' ..........................................................PRICE. -1@ $39.00

A variegated clone, with attractive white speckled and streaked Hoya-like leaves. See general
comments under the species.'

KADSURA JAPONICA 'FUKURIN' ........................................................PRICE. -1@ $39.00

Kadsura is native from S. Korea to Taiwan, which may account for the variable hardiness
claims. Woodlanders calls 'Fukurin' zone 5 while many authorities list the species as zone 9. I.m
convinced enough to put a plant on a South facing wall and microfoam it. My guess is zone 6 or
7 which is do-able here with plenty of protection. We froze plants hard last fall and they dropped
all their leaves, an excellent sign. 'Fukurin' is spectacular, with thick Hoya-like leaves broadly
edged with cream. Don.t confuse the genus with Kudzu; Kadsura is a member of the
Schisandraceae. The 2cm wide sulfur yellow flowers are followed by 3cm wide scarlet red
pendulous berry like fruits dangling from 3-4cm stalks in the leaf axils.

LAPAGERIA ROSEA .................................................................................... PRICE - $39.00

These are seed grown from Warren Stoutmeyer, a couple of years old but not yet flowering size.
You can expect pinks, whites or shades in between. They have proven root hardy in Ohio and
might even flower on a warm wall. Lapageria is the ultimate conservatory vine with huge thick
waxy bells. Lapageria is extremely difficult from cuttings and seed is not always set. We are
thrilled to be able to offer them for the first time in many years. Don.t miss out on this
opportunity we only have 50 or so, please order early when they are gone that is it.

LONICERA JAPONICA AUREORETICULATA ...................................PRICE. -1@ $19.00

Climbing bush with outstanding foliage and a golden net like pattern on each leaf, the biology of
which is quite interesting, check it out.

LONICERA PERICLYMENUM 'SWEET SUE' ......................................PRICE. -1@ $19.00

Collected by Roy Lancaster not in China but on a Swedish beach, and named for his wife, it.s
much like the previous but a more vigorous plant; the lack of variegation is responsible, Sweet
Sue is also considerably more floriferous than Harlequin.

LONICERA X TELLMANNIANA .............................................................PRICE. -1@ $19.00

A outstanding hybrid between sempervirens „Superba. and tragophylla which was produced in
Budapest in 1920, with extremely showy heads of bright orange flowers and attractive foliage,
noticeably larger than periclymenum. Dirr considers it the showiest of all the climbing
honeysuckles. Terminal clusters of up to a dozen long tubed flowers, the slender tubes and
nearly 2. long and flare to an inch wide when they open. Color is an almost fluorescent orangish
yellow tipped red in the bud stage and opening more yellow.

PANDOREA JASMINOIDES ....................................................................PRICE. -1@ $19.00

One of the showiest vines we grow, sadly it is tender here. We have a specimen growing up
through a large potted variegated Daphne odora, the huge flat faced pink trumpets are
produced all summer, and everyone wants the trumpet flowered Daphne. Related to Campsis,
tuberous rooted, plant deep and grow as a dieback a little further south.

PARTHENOCISSUS HENRYANA ..........................................................PRICE. -1@ $24.00

The Chinese version of Virginia Creeper, dark green leaves with silvery white veination often
tinged with a bit of pink the fall color is a magnificent reddish purple, I expect the ever elusive
Eumorpha pandora and E. achemon sphinx will find it as palatable as our native species and
hopefully their larva will be a bit easier to spot. It.s hard to believe you could not see a four inch
orange hornworm whose horn has been replaced by a big glossy eyespot. I.ll send a free
henryana to anyone who e-mails a picture of 5th instar Pandora and Achemon munching on the
same leaf.

PARTHENOCISSUS QUINQUIFOLIA 'VARIEGATA' ........................PRICE. -1@ $19.00

The variegated version of our native Virginia Creeper, a plant I would have expected to be a
rampant weed has proved quite the contrary. Dick put one out and it promptly croaked, and ours
has struggled for years to get big enough to produce a few cuttings, on the other hand the
variegation is stunning, in any event we only have a few.

PARTHENOCISSUS TRICUSPIDATA 'VARIEGATA' .......................PRICE. -1@ $24.00

This may in reality be the cultivar veitchii, which is a blotched variegate, according to Dirr there
is some discrepancy as to whether or not the true veitchii is in cultivation in the U.S.; however if
the descriptions are correct this would seem to be identical. Whatever the name it is an
outstanding small leaved irregularly variegated and blotched form giving a pink purple white
green multicolor display especially in spring.

PASSIFLORA CAERULEA ........................................................................PRICE. -1@ $19.00

Hardy Passionflower, this will eat your greenhouse and spread Kudzu fashion to the
surrounding acreage, and attract Heliconiad butterflies from miles around, we have had Gulf
Fritillaries on ours a thousand miles north of their native range.

PASSIFLORA 'CORAL GLOW' ................................................................PRICE. -1@ $19.00

A fantastic looking plant with coral pink flowers that tolerates temperatures down to freezing and
actually flowers better in cool weather the cross is complex; P. manicata? x ((P. mixtax P.
tripartita v mollissima) x (P. mixta x P. tripartita v molissima))


PYROCANTHA 'HARLEQUIN' ................................................................ PRICE. -1@ $19.00

Variegated foliage is pink-white-green in spring and fall, becoming just white variegated in
summer, fruits are orangish red; like many variegated plants it is not a fast growing as the green
forms, and will only reach 6. or so, with thorns less vicious than some.

SCHIZANDRA CHINENSIS ..................................................................... PRICE. -1@ $35.00

Magnolia Vine; a hardy climbing woody vine from China with single Magnolia-like flowers, a
rarity from the Punnett garden. Its a vine that should be much more widely grown, especially for
the display of brilliant red fruit in autumn. We cut from several clones but did not keep them
separate, two or more clones are needed for fruit.

SCHIZANDRA PROPINQUA VAR. SINENSIS ................................... PRICE. -1@ $29.00

These came from Heronswood and I think Dan may have gotten them from Crug Farm. A yellow
flowered climber frim Sichuan with distinctive silvery mottled leaves, and red fruits if pollinated.

SCHIZOPHRAGMA CORYLIEUM .......................................................... PRICE. -1@ $39.00

An extremely rare Chinese species with foliage intermediate between S. hydrangioides and S.
integrifolium, flat clusters of lacecap Hydrangea flowers for sun or part shade, it is supposed to
be zone 5 hardy.

SCHIZOPHRAGMA HYDRANGIOIDES ................................................ PRICE. -1@ $35.00

The straight species, with its eerie resemblance to Hydrangea anomala petiolaris should stand
proudly on its own. It can be distinguished by the fact that in Schizophragma, the ray florets
have only one petal, well technically it is a sepal, but we won.t quibble. I would not be without
either in the garden, wishing only that I had planted them sooner as they are quite slow to
establish.

SCHIZOPHRAGMA HYDRANGIOIDES 'BROOKSIDE LITTLELEAF' PRICE. 1@ $35.00

Schizophragma hydrangioides is a climbing vine that is superficially similar to Hydrangea
anomala petiolaris; the main difference is the ray flowers have only a single petal (sepal).
Brookside Littleleaf is, as you would guess, tiny leaved. Its also one of the finest climbing vines
we grow.

SCHIZOPHRAGMA HYDRANGIOIDES 'PLATT DWARF' ................ PRICE. -1@ $35.00

We figured things weren.t confused enough so we added one more cultivar to the „Brookside
Littleleaf., Hydrangea anomola petiolaris, Hydrangea quelpartensis complex. If anyone has
definitively sorted this mess out let us know.

SCHIZOPHRAGMA INTEGRIFOLIUM VAR. FAUREI BSJW 3802 .............. -1@ $39.00

A Wynn-Jones collection of this rarely available vine from Taiwan, perhaps the most spectacular
of all the climbing Hydrangeas, with immense foot wide flower clusters surrounded by three inch
long white teardrop sepals, as Dirr says, a plant to lust after.

SOLANUM DULCAMARA VARIEGATA ................................................PRICE. -1@ $19.00

Cool vine, the perfect gift for a witch with a variegation fetish, the bold foliage, pendant blue-
violet flowers and red berries magically transform ordinary deadly nightshade into a first rate
ornamental. (Both Ender and our cats have sense enough not to eat it and the deer haven.t
dropped dead either.)

SOLLYA HETEROPHYLLA .............................................................. PRICE. -1@ -1@ $15.00

A strange Indo-Australian plant in the Pittosporacaea, nearly monotypic there being only one
other species, heterophylla is a somewhat twining shrub that grows to 5. or so and bears
terminal cymes of blue flowers, definitely tender, but a cool tub specimen for the deck.

TRACHELOSPERMUM JASMINOIDES 'TRICOLOR' ........................PRICE. -1@ $19.00

Outstanding tricolor foliage we are always a sucker for green pink and cream, and we are not
alone. An award of merit winner in the UK, this lovely vine is actually a member of the dogbane
family. The fragrance of the flowers is a nearly overpowering jasmine scent. The only
shortcoming for us is its hardiness, it came rated zone 7 but Punnett thinks that a bit overly
optimistic and he may be right the damn thing sure looks tropical.

TRICHOSANTHES KIRILOWII V. JAPONICA ....................................PRICE. -1@ $19.00

Much like T. cucumeroides but bigger if that is possible, reaching 50-60', cool enough but there
is more, the huge tendriled white flowers make passionflowers pale by comparison. They look
like something out of a science fiction movie, be sure to check under the bed for pods, the
snake gourd fruits that follow are yellow, and may contain alien clones.

WISTERIA FLORIBUNDA ........................................................................PRICE. -1@ $29.00

Native to Japan it can reach 20m, twining clockwise, flower racemes to 60cm and fragrant.
Spectacular but nothing compared to the cultivar 'Macrobotrys', which has racemes to 150cm
and can cover 1/6 acre. Be sure to build a big enough trellis.

WISTERIA FLORIBUNDA 'MACROBOTRYS' .....................................PRICE. -1@ $39.00

Cuttings from Punnett.s plant of macrobotrys which surprisingly enough has proven quite
difficult to root I can see it dripping 6. flower clusters from an arching trellis spanning 75.. across
our pond, of course I still need to build the trellis but hey piece of cake.

WISTERIA FRUTESCENS ........................................................................PRICE. -1@ $15.00

Our native wisteria is well behaved with distinctive short plump flower clusters, we think it
deserves a much broader exposure, it makes a great bonsai or trellis plant and is not prone to
eating your house.
