Arctostaphylos densiflora 'Harmony'
Price:
$10.00
In Stock
4" Pot
An ideal choice for that classic Manzanita look, this cultivar is taller growing than the other densiflora types allowing one to fully appreciate that mahogany bark and gnarled growth. It also sports larger leaves than typical and has light pink flowers in typical abandon. Good drainage, likes it dry.
Arctostaphylos densiflora 'Howard McMinn'
Price:
$10.00
In Stock
Quart Pot
Extremely handsome big evergreen shrub to 10'x10' or more with classic mahogany bark peeling to reveal that much loved Hi-Gloss finish on the trunk and branches. Pink buds in spring open to white urn-shaped flowers followed by clusters of russet not messy-at-all fruit which has some avian appeal. . Leaves are held perpendicular to the sun to conserve water which is an adaptation to summer heat and low or no rainfall. So no mollycoddling whatsoever with this one. Well-drained soil of low fertility and don't water once established and much as we love mulching with manure, don't on this one or any other shrubby Arctostaphylos. There really are plants whose main requirement is that you do nothing except admire.

Arctostaphylos x 'Austin Griffiths'
Price:
$12.00
In Stock

Choice small tree-like shrub to 10' with large clusters of pearl pink flowers in winter. Lightly furry blue-gray leaves combined with twisted smooth bark of a rich chestnut brown makes this one of the finest cultivars. Full sun and good drainage and happy with no summer water when established.
Arctostaphylos x 'John Dourley'
Price:
$9.00
In Stock
4" Pot
Arctostaphylos afficionados Paul and Greg at Xera Plants say this is their favorite Manzanita which made it a must-have for us. Fits in the home garden and tolerant of garden conditions, this get just 2' high by 4' across in time. Rocking reddish new growth turns to blue-green. Pink flowers late winter. Drought tolerant.
Arctostaphylos x 'Martha Ewan'
Price:
$10.00
In Stock
4" Pot
A selection from the N Oregon coast near the town of Manzanita appropriately enough. Low growing to 3' and spreading wider with pink/white flowers followed by attractive berries. A very classy groundcover type shrub for a drier well-drained site and seldom available.
Arctostaphylos x 'Pacific Mist'
Price:
$12.00
In Stock
Quart Pot
Easy to grow low evergreen semi-groundcover. This gets just 2' high but about 6' wide. Handsome blue-gray leaves are further set off by the cinnamon red bark and the light sprinklingof small white flowers are just an added pleasure. Drought tolerant and wants good drainage.
Argyrocytisus battandieri
Price:
$12.00
In Stock
Medium Band Pot
A most ornamental and tasteful Broom which is sure to evoke admiring comments from any who are fortunate enough to view it. Silken silvery leaves are the perfect foil for the sumptuous yellow flowers in May and June. Tolerant of glacial till and drier conditions. Not invasive or weedy. This used to be in the genus Cytisus but things change. We actually like this new nomenclature which means Silver Cytisus as it is quite apt.
Azara microphylla
Price:
$12.00
In Stock
Quart Pot
This is pretty much our default tree whenever anyone asks about a good small tree. This has zero bad habits that we know about it and is a rapid grower with small evergreen leaves and minute yellow flowers that smell heavenly of marzipan or something similarly decadent.
Azara microphylla 'Variegata'
Price:
$12.00
In Stock
Quart Pot
A grand small-scale evergreen tree for our area. This is what Boxwood dreams about becoming - much as I dream about being tall and thin, the humble Box envys this Azara with its perfect variegated leaves and tiny yellow flowers packing a big fragrance and all on a small tree frame.
Azara petiolaris
Price:
$12.00
In Stock
Quart Pot
This is an uncommon evergreen large shrub from Chile which is multi-trunked to 15' or less. It has amazingly fragrant prominent yellow powderpuffs of flowers which are quite showy when full on. This is best sited so as to avoid cold winter winds. We're sensitive to wind here as we can really get them.
Azara serrata
Price:
$10.00
In Stock
Quart Pot
Large shrub to small tree of this handsome evergreen species from Chile. Excellent in a sheltered open woodland or full sun in a mild garden, this has flowers much, much larger than the more widely grown A. microphylla with the same intoxicating mouthwatering marzipan fragrance.
Brachyglottis monroi
Price:
$10.00
In Stock
Quart Pot
A broadly domed woody subshrub that used to be a Senecio but now is placed in the genus Brachyglottis. A New Zealander that loves a sunny well-drained site and fairly covers itself in clusters of small yellow daisy flowers in summer. Evergreen as well. Let's go for tolerant of dry as well.
Callistemon pallidus
Price:
$12.00
In Stock
Quart Pot
From the venerable plant at the UW Arboretum comes these promising youngsters. The plant at the UW has weathered every fluke weather event in the last 20 years and emerged unscathed. Narrowly yet densely upright with pale yellow-white bottle brush flowers and evergreen needlish leaves.
Callistemon pallidus 'Eleanor'
Price:
$12.00
In Stock
Quart Pot
Bottlebrush. This is a selected form of the more cold hardy species and has 5" magenta bottlebrush flowers. This would thrive against a hot south wall and will tolerate a range of soils including fairly wet. Evergreen and so far not munched by deer. We've had this freeze to the ground in the disaster that was November 2010 but it regrew from the base. Our plant was growing in rich soil and was still in active growth when it got hammered. Leaner conditions going into fall will impart more cold tolerance.
Callistemon pityoides 'Corvallis'
Price:
$12.00
In Stock
Quart Pot
Bottlebrush. Fun and very hardy selection that has willowy and twisting branchlets sporting 2" light yellow flower brushes on the branch tips all pointing willy-nilly for a wild Medusal effect. Length of bloom is longer on older plants so it is true that some things get better with age. I feel that way about Sue and another month o the diet, she'll feel the same about me.. Happy in nearly any soil and happiest with regular water. Not deer fodder.
Callistemon pityoides 'Mt Kosciusco Form'
Price:
$12.00
In Stock
Quart Pot
It just kills us to sell any of these fantastic alpine Bottlebrushes from Australia's highest summit. Dwarf and hardy, these get to be just 3' high domes of evergreen foliage with 3" creamy bottlebrush flowers in late spring. Pest and deer proof. Xeric. No maintenance. Good drainage.
Callistemon sieberi
Price:
$10.00
In Stock
Quart Pot
Bottlebrush. A cold hardy Aussie with 3" creamy-yellow bottlebrush flowers in early summer. This evergreen has a twisting picturesque habit that just gets better with age. Sun and drought tolerant and abhorred by deer. Occasional rebloom in fall. Lots of sun, good drainage.
Callistemon viridiflorus
Price:
$12.00
In Stock
Quart Pot
A comparatively cold hardy Bottlebrush that gets to be a large shrub with lots of chartreuse yellow vivacious flowers in May and June. This has a willowy texture with the foliage taking on maroon tints in winter and with age gets great white corky bark. Will take dry but better with water. Deer hate it.
Cassinia x ozothamnus
Price:
$12.00
In Stock
Quart Pot
This is thought to be an intergeneric hybrid between 2 of New Zealand's shrubby daisies. This gives a fabulous textural addition to the Mediterranean garden like some happy marriage of heather and rosemary. Small white flowers cluster at the tops of the stems. Good drainage, tolerant of some dry.
Ceanothus x 'Gloire du Versailles'
Price:
$12.00
In Stock
4" Pot
A very hardy Ceanothus granted the Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit. If you are going to name something the Glory of Versailles then it had better be good! A deciduous shrub to 6' or 7' high or more and 5' or so wide with soft powder blue panicles of scented flowers mid summer into fall. C. americanus and the Mexican C. coeruleus are its parents.
Chaenomeles japonica 'Atsuya Hamada'
Price:
$10.00
In Stock
4" Pot
Northwest late great plantman Roy Davidson found this growing wild on the shoulders of Mt Fuji in Japan and brought cuttings home. This Japanese Flowering Quince has deep red flowers which smolder with the same intensity as that long evening of urgent abandon with that Spaniard in Barcelona where anything was fair game again and again and again...........
Cistus ladanifer var. albiflorus 'Bashful'
Price:
$10.00
In Stock
4" Pot
Coprosma 'Black Cloud'
Price:
$10.00
In Stock
Quart Pot
This is a HARDY Coprosma! Ok, hardy for us anyway. Unscathed in full exposure in the McLaughlin garden during the rough winter of 08 where it took low teens without a whimper where it is a bushy 5' fine textured shrub. Mocha black green evergreen small leaves take on varying shades with the seasons. Blackish spidery witch hazel flowers merit close inspection. There aren't many woody plants bringing this color to the garden and fewer yet with any degree of hardiness.
Corokia cotoneaster 'Little Prince'
Price:
$9.00
In Stock
4" Pot
A smaller and more compact selection with branches densely interwoven. This would require very little work for a bird to build a nest in as the scaffolding and framing is already in place! Small yellow flowers, small white-backed leaves, small orange berries, big interest. Dry tolerant.
Corokia x virgata 'Sunsplash'
Price:
$10.00
In Stock
Quart Pot
Just a great foliage plant and well suited for milder gardens like Seattle. This is carefree evergreen that tolerates some dry and looks dynamite in a container. If you do grow it in a container, I would worry about the roots freezing in winter so drag it in. Minute yellow flowers.
Daphne mezereum f. alba
Price:
$12.00
In Stock
4" Pot
This is the less common white form of the deservedly popular February Daphne. It's February as I'm writing this and there are fat white buds studding the bare vertical stems just like it is supposed to be doing. We have Kelly's East Coast brother from another mother, Daphne Master Jon Knight to thank for these plants. This a tough plant and very good in the garden with a vertical vase-shaped habit and early spring reason-to-live gloom-of-winter dispelling white flowers which are followed later in summer by orange-red berries. Good with Hellebores, Corydalis solida, Hepatica and Pulmonaria angustifolia for a delightful spring showing.
Daphne sp. aff. longilobata DJHC 98164
Price:
$12.00
In Stock
4" Pot
A Daphne collected by Hinkley in China which has proved very amenable to cultivation here in the Northwest. While not a plant of exceptional ornamental merit compared to some others in the genus, it does make the most of what it was given. Groupings of small tubular pink-flushed white flowers occur in late spring and again in late summer and are followed by nice orange fruit. This is open growing and gets 3' or more tall is good in sun to part shade. An easy Daphne and a quick keying in the Flora of China last year put it as D. longilobata but we'll spend a little more time with it this year and figure it out for sure.
Decaisnea fargesii
Price:
$10.00
In Stock
4" ($10) or Large Band Pots ($12)
This ain't no ho-hum filler plant. It's got great leaves like an excited Walnut but held high on a bare cane-like trunk. Sure, the flowers blow but we don't grow it for the bloom. Oh no, it is the late season clusters of brilliant blue fat bean pods like blue rubber gloves hung high that jazzes us. Within the pods nestle black flattened seeds cushioned by lots of Decaisnea Gelatin which gives the unopened pods the texture of the fingers of a person drowned but not soon found. Thanks to CSI and Bones, we all know exactly what this feels like.
