These are our latest plants recently added to the website. We are adding them as fast as they are available to sell, but for many of them, we haven't had time to write descriptions. So we'll write these as soon as we can.

Abutilon 'Ginger Bomb'
Abutilon 'Ginger Bomb'
Price: $12.00
In Stock

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.
Abutilon 'Jackie O's Lipstick'

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.
Abutilon 'Nectarine'

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. 
Abutilon 'Searchlight'
Abutilon 'Searchlight'
Price: $12.00

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.
Abutilon 'Smoked Salmon'
Abutilon 'Smoked Salmon'
Price: $12.00
In Stock

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'
Abutilon 'Tangerine Scream'
Price: $12.00
In Stock

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.
Adonis amurensis
Adonis amurensis
Price: $20.00
(Out of Stock)

4" Pot  One of the class acts of the spring ephemeral parade, this very hardy Japanese species starts hitting the stage in February with yellow flower buds and soon followed by finely divided fern-like foliage.  March is when it really happens, at least here in the Northwest, as these cheery buttercup flowers defy the gray skies which born and bred Washington natives miss if we have too long of a stretch of sun, say if we get into week of blue skies.  This is a fine plant for the rock garden or special niche and expect it to go dormant by late spring.  These are nice divisions which have already flowered with sturdy growth and are starting to root out having been potted in late winter.
Anemonella thalictroides 'Oscar Schoaf'
Anemonella thalictroides 'Oscar Schoaf'
Price: $15.00
In Stock

Small Band Pot
One of the truly choice plants coveted by the rock gardeners who love everything wee and precious. This is tougher than its size suggests handling the open garden or doing well in troughs or containers. Goes summer dormant and increases from year to year. Half sun or dappled shade.
Asphodelus aestivus
Asphodelus aestivus
Price: $10.00
In Stock

Medium Band Pot
This has grown - quite literally - into one of our favorite plants. Much like an Eremurus or Foxtail Lily in effect as it gets long basal strappy leaves and a tall branched flower spike with lots of pale peach tinted white flowers. The foliage withers away in summer and we leave the dried seedheads standing tall.
Aster laevis 'Calliope'
Aster laevis 'Calliope'
Price: $10.00
In Stock

Large Band Pot
Nifty Aster with tall near black stems accented by dark foliage. This narrow beauty is a delight with lilac-purple daisy-like flowers accented by a yellow center. To quote an English nursery "Brilliant for cutting".

Small Band Pot  A collection from Lao Cai, Phansi Pu valley in northern Vietnam at 1760 meters.  A lot of plants have been proving hardy for us coming out of north Vietnam and we look forward to testing this 2011 collection.  This looks like it will be a fine tree with bronzed new growth.  We're guessing zone 7 until we know better.  An interesting rarity.
Clematis fremontii
Clematis fremontii
Price: $12.00
In Stock

4" Pot
Very rare prairie Clematis native to Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska which makes small multi-stemmed mounds just 12"-18" high. Its windy out there on those plains you know. Or maybe it is just an adaptation to bison trampling. Pale to medium lavender small trumpets with recurved petals.
Dactylorhiza fuchsii
Dactylorhiza fuchsii
Price: $15.00
In Stock

4" Pot
We are mad about Dactylorhiza which are the coolest hardy terrestrial (grows in the ground) orchids and very easy to grow. These are rare mondo big seed-grown plants from Dactylorhiza fuchsii 'Bressingham Bonus' grown for us by plantswoman extraordinaire Claire Cockroft. Pink.

Datisca cannabina

Price: $9.00

4" Pot
Not Pot. Faux Sensemilla. Any number of innovative common names may apply. Looking like an illicit cash crop when 7'-10' high with its distinctive, evocative and dare I say familiar clusters of flower buds, this fine textural perennial looks like the poster child of the DEA. Very cool.
