Acis (Leucojum) autumnale
Acis (Leucojum) autumnalis
Price: $9.00 In Stock

Small Band Pot
One of the sweetest little bulbs imaginable! Summer dormant with dainty white flowers on 6" stems appearing in Aug into Sept. This grows in Portugal, Gibraltar and Morocco and is just as happy growing with our native Madrona (Arbutus menziesii) here as it is Olives back home. Grassy foliage up in fall and winter.
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.

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.
Agapanthus 'Timaru'
Agapanthus 'Timaru'
Price: $16.00 In Stock

Large Band Pot
Lily of the Nile. New selection from New Zealand and we're tickled to have enough to list. This is one of the hardier Agapanthus and is a nice compact semi-evergreen plant to 30" - it will be deciduous for us most winters though and like all Agapanthus is best mulched in winter to keep frost from the crown. If you are good plant steward and do mulch it then you will be rewarded by a good display of superb dark blue flowers which have a very long bloom period from July to October. Good drainage yet moist in full sun. Very highly regarded in the UK and these could not be any larger in their pots. We would have up-potted them but we don't ship 3 gallon size.
Albuca aurea
Albuca aurea
Price: $8.00 In Stock

Quart Pot
A very fun South African bulb which can be overwintered outside given good drainage in the winter and a nice mulching to keep it snuggy and warm. Or perfectly easy to grow in a pot and then store in the garage. Lots of yellow and green starry flowers - easy from seed!
Allium thunbergii 'Ozawa'
Allium thunbergii 'Ozawa'
Price: $9.00 In Stock

Quart Pot
Here is a little Japanese bulbous plant that will add some late summer glitz to the rock garden or special foreground planting niche. Not shy about blooming, this will strut its stuff with round purplish flowerheads on 10" stems which sends our friends the Butterflies and Bees into quiet delirium.
Allium thunbergii DJH 272
Allium thunbergii DJH 272
Price: $10.00 In Stock

Quart Pot
A Dan Hinkley collection from Japan of this fine mid to late summer blooming Allium species. Good richly colored purple flowers are freely produced on this densely clumping little dude. Good in containers and great in the rock garden or special little niche.
Bomarea 'Fred Meyer'
Alstroemera isabellana
Price: $10.00 In Stock

4" Pot
We got this from Maggie at Western Hills some years ago and finally can offer this goody. She said this was a hybrid by noted California breeder Fred Meyer between the vining Bomarea and the non-vining Alstroemeria and we have sold it in the past as Alstroemeria x Bomarea 'Fred Meyer' and more recently as Bomarea "Fred Meyer".  The great thing about putting a plant on the internet is that all sorts of smart people read about it and very nicely suggest the correct name.  This is a surprisingly hardy Brazilian species and Fred Meyer collected in Brazil quite extensively.   Good cut flower with long clean stems. We've had this growing happily outside for years and going through single digits in winter with mulch.
Alstroemeria 'Glory of the Andes'
Alstroemeria 'Glory of the Andes'
Price: $10.00 In Stock

Quart Pot
This is a very desirable Peruvian Lily which has 3' stems bearing fragrant vivid gold flowers daubed in the interior with maroon. The cream-edged foliage is just a bonus. Spreads slowly but steadily so as not to be scary. Great cut flower but pull the stems rather than cutting as they will last better. Not for dry gardens.
Arctostaphylos densiflora 'Harmony'
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
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.

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'
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'
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
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.
Aster 'Coombe Fishacre'
Aster 'Coombe Fishacre'
Price: $9.00 In Stock

Large Band Pot
Award of Merit Aster from England which makes a profuse cloud of small lavender white flowers in large billowy display. This is pretty nice as far as Asters are concerned and we just let it do it's thing out on our border. As we don't cut it back in early summer to make it bushy, this becomes a nice 4' tall bit of unfettered glee in late summer.
Aster 'Kylie'
Aster 'Kylie'
Price: $10.00 In Stock

Large Band Pot
Award of Merit Aster from England which makes a profuse cloud of small pale pink flowers in large billowy display on arching stems. Nice tall stems and thin fine-textured leaves adds to the whole package. Pretty exceptional in the realm of Asters and one which Carol Klein calls "an immensely pretty plant". 'Kylie' is also a rare interspecific hybrid between Aster novae-angliae 'Andenken an Alma Potschke' and Aster ericoides 'White Heather'. We know Asters have been segregated into a bunch of unpleasant sounding genera but we're not there yet.
Aster 'Mary's White'
Aster 'Mary's White'
Price: $15.00 In Stock

Quart Pot
Choice white Aster that our friend Jim Fox got from Beth Chatto and shared a wee bit with us. This was found at the Beth Chatto nursery by Beth's daughter Mary and we are guessing that it must be pretty damned good to be named such. We hope to introduce Aster 'Canela' and 'Callie' next year after our own daughters. 'Mary's White' has a good constitution with sturdy stems and good-sized white flowers not surprisingly.
Aster 'Vasterival'
Aster 'Vasterival'
Price: $9.00 In Stock

Quart Pot
Our thanks to one of horticulture's good guys, Jim Fox for bringing us a plant of this lovely Aster from one of his trips to the UK.  We'll have to go with him some time to learn how to balance plant shopping and carousing but now that we think on it, all of us regard plant shopping as carousing..........we can't be getting old - no, we're just wiser.  After all, that Aster will still be there in the morning.  This was named for Princess Sturdza's garden at Le Vasterival in France and that should be recommendation enough.  Neither pink nor lavender but firmly positioned in that descriptive Bermuda Triangle of the in-between which allows it to mingle effortlessly with a broad palette of colors.  A vigorous grower to 5' with deep royal plum colored stems and flowers for weeks in September.
Aster aff. yunnanensis MD97
Aster aff. yunnanensis
Price: $12.00 In Stock

4" Pot
A very attractive introduction by us from Yunnan if we do say so. Broad lightly hairy leaves in a dense clump with lots of large soft lavender daisy flowers fringed heavily in very fine petals surround a prominent dark "cone". Doesn't re-bloom - just does it right the first time. We would welcome having the right name on this!
Aster cordifolia 'White Chief'
Aster cordifolia 'White Chief'
Price: $12.00 (Out of Stock)

Large Band Pot
Our buddy Jim Fox brought us a bit of this new Aster cordifolius hybrid from England and upon checking the 2011-2012 RHS Plantfinder, we see it has only one source which is the National Collection for Asters at Old Court Nurseries. We were quite pleased by this as you might imagine and also pleased to see that we can still bust into a reasonable Snoopy dance. We carefully nurtured this treasure and as soon as it got some size, we immediately cut it to bits to be able to offer it to you. We have no garden experience with this yet due to the repeated decapitations but anything described as having "clouds of small white flowers in October" works for us. A tall grower to 6' unless you kneecap it in June to make it shorter and bushier. We tend to go tall.
Aster ericoides 'Pink Cloud'
Aster ericoides 'Pink Cloud'
Price: $9.00 In Stock

Quart Pot
This repetitive lauding of our friend Jim Fox for bringing us cool Asters from the UK could become wearisome and we promise to stop after just a few more.  This selection of Aster ericoides was granted the Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society and in the UK this is the horticultural equivalent of being knighted.  We are unlikely to be knighted anytime soon but we can have this distinguished Aster in our gardens.  This is a lower and bushier plant getting just 3 feet high but that 3 feet is a glorious billow of thousands of small light pink flowers in the fall once it reaches maturity.
Aster novi-belgii 'Autumn Rose'
Aster novi-belgii 'Autumn Rose'
Price: $10.00 In Stock

Quart Pot
An uncommon Aster brought to us from the UK by that warp and weft of the NW horticultural scene, Jim Fox. Jim has passed along many treasures to us and we are happy to spread the love. This is a vigorous and floriferous plant with Fall flowers of a good rosy pink on 4' stems and nothing says Fall to us like.........well, really, it is the yellows and oranges and reds that we think of but why not shake up tradition a little? Listed by only two nurseries in the 2011-2012 RHS Plantfinder.
Aster novi-belgii 'Blue Eyes'
Aster novi-belgii 'Blue Eyes'
Price: $10.00 In Stock

Quart Pot
Uncommon and exceptional selection brought back from England for us by that discerning horticulturist and Northwest garden icon Mr. Jim Fox whose eye for beauty is well known among the NW cognoscenti. He can stray to the flamboyant trashy but not in this instance. Big rich blue flowers.
Azara microphylla
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'
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
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.
