Abies koreana 'Cis'

Price: $20.00

Gallon Pot
This is an fine selection from Holland of Korean Fir. This is very dwarf - just an inch or less of growth per year and a 10 year old plant might be just 8" high by a 12" across. This makes one of those nice rounded buns which I am inclined to pat and Sue could testify to the veracity of that inclination. Great rock garden plant.

4" Pot  A selection from our friends at Xera Plants who decided that the ginger colored flowers on this were quite distinct from other Abutilons and gave it this pretty much perfect name.  This will get to about 5' in a growing season and will produce flowers steadily from the time it pushes some growth until frost.  Hardy to 20F or so, zone 8b and can be overwintered indoors during cold snaps here or mulched like heck in the ground if you are in a favorably mild zone.  Against a wall in Seattle, this will rock.  Well-rooted established cuttings pushing growth and flower buds.

4" Pot  Geez, another selection from Xera Plants in Oregon.  Paul and Greg down there claim this is their favorite as it has frosted and glossy pink flowers with subtle suggestions of orange in the mix.  We have this vision of those two guys wearing their favorite Jackie Kennedy pillbox hats going from Abutilon flower to Abutilon flower with their tiny paintbrushes happily pollinating and hybridizing.  Something is going on down there with all of these tasteful selections they are introducing!  To 5' and best lifted in winter and carried over in a cool and frost-free spot.  Speaking of frost, expect these well-rooted and growing cuttings to start blooming very soon and not stop until this fall.

4" Pot  Continuing with the Xera Plants theme, here's another one of their flowering maple selections.  This has orange flowers shot with red veins and will bloom summer and fall on a 3' tall plant. This is best brought in for the winter as it is frost sensitive plus you can continue to enjoy the flowers awhile longer that way.  Well-established cuttings making good growth and showing flower buds.

4" Pot  You guessed it - another Xera Plants release.  This vigorous grower gets up to 4' pretty rapidly and has outward facing white flowers on thin black pedicels.  As with most Abutilons or flowering maples, too much fertilizer gives you lots of growth and not as many flowers so don't be too kind to it!  A great container plant or looking sharp against a wall.  We've found that a cool color like this somehow makes those hotter colors even more intense in comparison.  Best overwintered inside.  These are nicely established cutting pushing good growth and setting flower buds.

4" Pot
Another Xera Plants introduction (yes, we're fans) and one we anticipate deriving much pleasure from as we munch our own house-smoked King Salmon from Neah Bay as we sit next to a container featuring this 3' compact yet very floriferous plant whose big flowers are colored like smoked salmon on the exterior and just slightly paler inside.  These hefty rooted cuttings are growing away and will bloom until frost. Zone 8b and can be easily overwintered inside.
Abutilon 'Tangerine Scream'

4" Pot
Small but profuse flowers shriek flashes of orange at the ends of thin wiry pedicels.  A Xera Plants introduction which if it were from someone else we would be skeptical of its value having seen way too many plants being named but since it is from the Xera boys, we worry not.  Personally, I cannot get enough orange so this helps fill what is apparently a yawning chasm of orange need.  To 5' in a growing season and hardy to zone 8b and will bloom from nearly the commencement of growth until frost.  These are stout cuttings, well rooted and starting to grow.  If we wait too much longer, we'll just sell them here rather trying to put them into boxes.

Medium Band Pot  A species from a 2011 seed collection in the Phansi Pu Valley in Lao Cai, Vietnam at 6000'.  This is quite a new species to cultivation and has distinctive long entire leaves that are richly colored in new growth.  This was a nicely branched small evergreen tree in the wild.  We would guess that this is going to be a good Zone 9 plant and tolerant of only light frost but would not be shocked to see it thrive in Zone 8.  As foot high seedlings, these are have a lot of appeal and we look forward to getting one or two up to a larger size to trial outside here.

Gallon Pot - Pickup at Nursery Only
A nice companion or alternative to Japanese maples. This Chinese species has distinctive trifoliate leaflets which gives it a graceful appearance and makes one wonder however briefly just what the heck it is. A fine small tree to 25 or 30 feet with a rounded oval habit. Fall color is variable from scarlet to yellow. Le'ts hope for red!

Gallon Pot  Sturdy young plants a foot or so tall from a 2011seed collection in north Vietnam from Lao Cai, Y Ty at 1800 meters.  This is a very handsome species and likely to remain a fairly small tree at 30' or so.  It is quite rare in commerce which is unfortunate because for those with mild enough gardens, this would be a grand addition.  Our best guess for hardiness would be Zone 9 and perhaps a warm Zone 8.

5 Gallon Pot - Pickup at Nursery Only

From our collection in the Damingshan at 4000'. This was on the highest point on this southern range in China not far from the Vietnam border. Surprisingly this sees some serious snow and ice on rare occasions. We've distributed this rare snakebark Maple to several botanic gardens and now here's your chance for something special. The name as you might guess, is in some dispute among the various taxonomists around the world so we've simply included the three most accepted names. We are making just one available as the rest we are planting out here or distributing to various arboreta. This is about 6' tall so will be an immediate part of your garden.

2 Gallon Pot - Pickup at Nursery Only

Beautiful Maple from the Southern Mediterranean and Northern Africa that loves the sun and is more drought tolerant than most Maples. We have this in our display border and love the ivy-like leaves and pale salmon new growth. The fruits are a showy reddish color. Nice narrow habit.

4" 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.

Medium Band 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.

Gallon Pot  Well-established nice plants of this double flowered selection with sizable heads of pale powder blue flowers on 2' stems above evergreen foliage.  This will give one pause thinking those flowers seem to have that extra something when you realize they do have that extra something - more petals!  A good container plant if overwintered frost-free or fine in the ground here in Western Washington if mulched when winter turns wintery.

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.

Agapanthus inapertus ssp. pendulus 'Nigrescens' is the complete name of this inky blue-black beauty. Drooping pendulous florets are striking and this form is even darker than the more familiar 'Graskop' . Give it plenty of sun and a good snuggly blanket of mulch in the winter. Good drainage too!

White Snakeroot. A release from the Mt Cuba Center in Delaware and selected for the richly chocolate colored foliage. This is a very hardy perennial and well named because just like sex, chocolate sells. (I've notice that often one leads to the other) Mid to late summer broccoli heads of small white flowers. Low maintenance.

One of the choicest Alliums to be had which was found east of Tashkent in the mid 90's and named by Janis Ruksans for Henrik Zetterlund. Like a regular Allium karataviense but so much better in all aspects. Larger and broader blue-green leaves and bigger flower heads of rich rose. Good drainage & summer dry.

Our collection at 9000' from the summit of highest peak in the Wuming Shan in SW China. This Allium was prevalent in the grazed grass and scrub summit with tall 12"-20" scapes and nice 2"+ half dome pink flowers. The local minority people harvest the bulbs for food. This was the first Western botanical foray to this mountain.

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.
