Aconitum episcopale
Aconitum episcopale
Price: $12.00 In Stock

4" Pot
Rollicking twining Monkshood from China that delights in scrambling up into shrubs or onto thin trellage. Although a fine and aristocratic perennial, it remains devoid of snobbery embracing chainlink as if it were ornate wrought iron at an Antebellum mansion. Dusky lavender flowers in late summer and fall are hugely welcome. This is totally herbaceous dying completely back after flowering only to reemerge in spring bigger and better than before. The climbing Aconitum we find just a little confusing as to proper identity so the caveat here is this is the name which came with the plant some years back. If we really dig, we might trace this back to a Diana Reeck collection in Yunnan in 1996 but that is best guessing. Nice blooming-sized plants.

Aconitum sp. vining CGG14028
Price: $12.00 In Stock

Small Band Pot
Our collection from one of the highest points in the Wumingshan during the Chongqing-Guizhou-Guangxi Expedition in the fall of 2010. We had reached as far as we could on the trail following the western ridge and as we paused to take in one last panoramic view of the lesser peaks arrayed before us, we looked down and there sprawling atop the scrub was this climbing Monkshood. Seed heads were larger than we expected and it has been with anticipation that we have waited for this to bloom which a few did this fall. The flowers are of good size with a bit of variation from soft lavender to mostly a very pleasant medium blue. One seedling is a strange double with the overlapping petals reduced to an Elizabethan collar around the business parts. Now there's a collector's plant! Let us know if yours turns out to be something unique and we'll dicker. Perennial herbaceous vine to 8'-12' dying back in late fall. These are flowering size.
Billardiera longiflora - white berried
Billardiera longiflora - white berried
Price: $10.00 In Stock

Quart Pot
The white fruited form of the Tasmanian Blueberry Vine. The species is one of the choicest small evergreen vines and this white form is exceptional eye candy against a dark background. Mediocre chartreuse flowers and wild showy non messy marble-sized white fruit Aug to hard freeze.
Clematis 'Alionushka'
Clematis 'Alionushka'
Price: $15.00 In Stock

Gallon Pot
A non-climber getting a little less tall than you but with much nicer flowers of a rich pinkish mauve sporting deep ridges on the reverse and with age the tips recurve and twist. Great for sprawling over a lanky shrub or up against a fence or you can just relax and let it scramble.
Clematis terniflora var. mandshurica
Clematis terniflora var. mandshurica
Price: $10.00 In Stock

4" Pot
Think Clematis recta and you get a feel for how this is going to grow being happy supported by neighboring shrubs or leaning against a fence where it can reach 5' high. This has familiar recta-type masses of 1" white flowers in midsummer but carries the day with a sweet anise fragrance.
Codonopsis vinciflora
Codonopsis vinciflora
Price: $8.00 In Stock

4" Pot
Codonopsis are curious things. These are herbaceous vining relatives of Campanula or Bellflowers and seem an unlikely expression of such. From an almost bulbous root arises several tendril shoots which love to twine into surrounding shrubs from which to display their 2" dusky lavender star shaped flowers. Usually the foliage carries a musky scent but true confessions, we can't remember if this species does writing this as we are in the middle of winter. An unlikely armature for such improbable and lovely flowers. Many species of Codonopsis are dug in the wild as their roots are eaten although we wouldn't encourage you to try it. There's carrots in the market after all. These are young plants but should flower this year.
Ercilla volubilis
Ercilla volubilis
Price: $18.00 In Stock

Gallon Pot
It is unlikely your neighbor will have this if you are into one-upmanship. This is a self-clinging evergreen climber or groundcover from Chile which would perfectly cover a large stump for example. It has fuzzy and tubby bottlebrush flowers that are an ethereal pinky lavender-white. If you are lucky enough to have fruit, the reward is reddish cones of fruit not unlike an Arisaema. Surprisingly tough, this will grow in sun or shade and pretty much any soil and seems to tolerate salt spray if you are a coastal gardener. Award of Merit from the RHS.
Hydrangea anomala ssp. petiolaris DJHJ01008
Hydrangea anomala ssp. petiolaris DJHJ01008
Price: $8.00 In Stock

4" Pot
A collection by Hinkley DJHJ 01008 from Japan of this climbing Hydrangea. Typical white lacecaps on this self-clinging climber. This is ideal for whizzing up the trunk of a Doug Fir as the rough creviced bark provides the ideal foothold for its tiny adhesive aerial rootlets. Doesn't hurt the host tree and provides great habit along an otherwise barren trunk.
Jasminum humile f. wallichianum
Jasminum humile f. wallichianum
Price: $18.00 In Stock

Gallon Pot
This is a lovely deciduous scrambling twining and vining shrub from Nepal with scented narrow tubular yellow flowers in clusters followed in fall by black pea-like fruit. Quite a nice alternative for the small arbor or trellis on a wall. And we are pretty sure it is deer resistant as well! This has been perfectly fine in Seattle. These are nice big plants.
Lonicera periclymenum 'Serotina'
Lonicera periclymenum 'Serotina'
Price: $9.00 In Stock

Quart Pot
This is a dynamite cultivar also called 'Florida' but names aside, the flowers totally rock. White and dark red fragrant flowers marry nicely with the rich purple-tinted foliage. We keep ours trimmed to an informal shrub but it can be a vigorous vine. Nice orange fruit.
Lonicera sempervirens 'Major Wheeler'
Lonicera sempervirens 'Major Wheeler'
Price: $9.00 In Stock

4" Pot
Major Flowers I think. This red flowered East Coast native Honeysuckle blooms its tail off from late spring all through the summer especially if a light trim is given it after blooming slows. Twining to 10' or so and quite disease resistant. Tolerant of dry when established. Hummingbird Bacchanalia.
Tripterospermum sp. GOT 71 HEHEHE 220
Tripterospermum sp. HeHeHe 220
Price: $10.00 In Stock

4" Pots
A collection from China by the Swedish Goteborg Botanical Garden plant hunting team of the three amigos or in this case, the three Henriks which accounts for the HeHeHe expedition name. This is a classic example of what happens when you mix aquavit with botany - Botanist's Gone Wild! This is a twining sometimes scandent little vine related to Gentians. This has light blue narrowly campanulate flowers borne in the leaf axils near the ends of the stems. This is a curious little genus that intrigues us. We found quite an interesting Tripterospermum in 2010 on Fanjinshan which had long reddish seed capsules like small tubes of lipstick.
Tropaeolum tuberosum
Tropaeolum tuberosum
Price: $10.00 In Stock

Tubers
Mashua - Hardy Tuberous Nasturtium. One of the great cultivated food crops of the Andean slopes in South America. This is the Andean equivalent of what the potato is to the Irish. Forms large tubers which are used as you would spuds. Pretty and tasty tubular orange flowers in late Fall on vining herbaceous stems to 8'-10' tall. We frost early here at the nursery so we don't often see the flowers but everyone in Seattle blooms the heck out of them. Perfect crossover perennial being both edible and ornamental.
Yua thomsonii
Yua thomsonii
Price: $10.00 In Stock

4" Pot
Our collection from Yunnan 1997 of this small leaved creeping vine which has been split away from Parthenocissus. This will ramble about the ground and happily trellis itself into neighboring shrubs or it can easily be encouraged to enjoy trellage of sorts. Not of the suction cup tendril clan.
