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!
Asarum marmoratum
Asarum marmoratum
Price: $10.00 In Stock

Medium Band Pot
Boehmeria sieboldiana
Boehmeria sieboldiana
Price: $9.00 In Stock

Medium Band Pot
A fine foliage plant in the family Urticaceae and it is easy to see the family resemblance in it's cousin the nettle. But no worries, this is a venomless pussycat making a clump of tall stems with dangling panicles of tan flowers. Great texture for the moist shade garden. From China/Korea.
Callistemon pallidus
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 sieberi
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.
Cardiocrinum giganteum v. giganteum
Cardiocrinum giganteum v. giganteum
Price: $10.00 In Stock

4" Pot
Giant Himalayan Lily.  Outrageous Lily family member which can reach 14' high in flower with huge 10" long Easter Lily white flowers flushed purple in the throat. This has an intoxicating fragrance which rides on the breeze throughout the garden especially in the evening.  Large green heart-shaped leaves evocative of a Hosta ever increasing in size until it is old enough to bloom which is usually around 7 years of age.  Once it is old enough, it sends up this amazing flower stalk in spring culminating in flowers in the latter part of June.  This requires so much energy that the main bulb dies but it usually makes several offsets to carry on in subsequent years.  As a bonus, the dried flower stalk with its decorative seed pods makes for an arresting bit of indoor decor.  Considering the time involved, the sheer magnificence coupled with the poetic finality, flowering is an event that demands a party with plenty of sparkling wine.  It's a great excuse for a little justifiable bragging.  Plant shallow in rich and moist soil.
Cephalanthus occidentalis
Cephalanthus occidentalis
Price: $10.00 In Stock

4" Pot
Buttonbush. This shrub to tree-like shrub is quietly unassuming until its summer flowers come on. Perfectly round 1" white balls with long exserted stamens that the bees like sets this apart from just about everything else. Native to the eastern half of North America.
Chaenomeles japonica 'Atsuya Hamada'
Chaenomeles japonica 'Atsuya Hamada'
Price: $10.00 In Stock

Cistus ladanifer var. albiflorus 'Bashful'
Cistus ladanifer var. albiflorus 'Bashful'
Price: $10.00 In Stock

4" Pot
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.
Cornus unalaschkensis
Cornus unalaschkensis
Price: $8.00 In Stock

4" Pot
Creeping Dogwood. This is our woodland native which ranges from Alaska to California. It's true - we do like natives. This likes a shaded position that doesn't dry out much. Preferably a loose humusy soil where the rhizomes can spread easily. White flowers, red fruit, deciduous.
Corokia cotoneaster 'Little Prince'
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'
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.
Corydalis 'Rainier Blue'
Corydalis 'Rainier Blue'
Price: $10.00 In Stock

Medium Band Pot
Dactylorhiza fuchsii 'Bressingham Bonus'
Dactylorhiza fuchsii 'Bressingham Bonus'
Price: $15.00 In Stock

Quart Pot
A selection from Bressingham of this hardy terrestrial orchid chosen for its rapidity of multiplication. This does a lovely doubling at least each year when happy so a robust clump is not long in the offing. Good soil and moist but can take some late summer dry. Rare now and choice.
Daphne mezereum f. alba
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.
Dierama pallidum
Dierama pallidum
Price: $10.00 In Stock

4" Pot
A very rare species (good luck googling this for any real info - we're lucky to have the Dierama monograph) This has flowering stems to 2'-3' with crowded smaller flowers of white to palest yellow, rarely tinged pink or lavender. This makes narrow evergreen clumps. Good drainage.
Epimedium 'Black Sea'
Epimedium 'Black Sea'
Price: $15.00 In Stock

Quart Pot
This was named for the near black foliage color which occurs with the onset of colder winter temperatures. Spring and summer foliage is typically green and about 10" tall. The flowers are held above the leaves in spring and are small stars of yellow with orange veins. Choice.
Escallonia laevis 'Gold Brian'
Escallonia laevis 'Gold Brian'
Price: $10.00 In Stock

Quart Pot
Very nice gold-leafed Escallonia which has bright pink flowers. The foliage can fry a bit if given blasting afternoon sun but looks great given just a wee bit of protection. Ours froze back the unusually bad winter of Dec 09 but grew out and looked good in June. Well worth growing.
Eucalyptus glaucescens
Eucalyptus glaucescens
Price: $10.00 In Stock

4" Pot
One of the best of the hardy Eucalypts for our area. This has rounded blue leaves when juvenile and lance shaped leaves when all grown up and responsible. Striking white bark is beautifully displayed with its open growth habit. Loves it dry and is a very fast grower and deer-proof.
Eucomis comosa 'Sparkling Burgundy'
Eucomis comosa 'Sparkling Burgundy'
Price: $10.00 In Stock

4" Pot
Pineapple Lily. The Burgundy Standard for Eucomis. Deep purple foliage and gorgeous similarly colored flowers, which if you can bring yourself to do it, makes excellent cut flowers. (We have inadvertently broken some off and know this to be true) Easy. Mulch if cold winter.
Eucryphia moorei
Eucryphia moorei
Price: $12.00 In Stock

4" Pot
Euphorbia mellifera
Euphorbia mellifera
Price: $8.00 In Stock

Small Band Pot
Honey Euphorbia. Small flowers but wonderful honey scent. Bushy and dramatic plant to 6' high. On the tender side especially if you have a cold garden. Maybe best against a nice sunny wall. Sometimes you just have to try these things. Let it dry towards fall to harden off.
Fuchsia 'Hawkshead'
Fuchsia 'Hawkshead'
Price: $8.00 In Stock

4" Pot
This hardy bush Fuchsia is quite a pleasing addition to the garden where it performs admirably in a sunny spot with lots of narrow hanging white flowers which are touched in faintest green on the tepal tips. Recent winters have put a whupping on reliably hardy plants so if it is going to turn nasty, mulch the base and trunk well. Easy and gratifying.
Hebe 'Prostrata'
Hebe 'Prostrata'
Price: $8.00 In Stock

4" Pot
Small scale evergreen Hebe and one of the hardier ones for our area. This is attractive in flower or out as it has very tidy foliage and a pleasing mounding habit. The flowers are small and white and sometimes with a bit of a mauve tinge but anyone would say white.
Hebe 'Western Hills'
Hebe 'Western Hills'
Price: $8.00 In Stock

4" Pot
Nice low (to 3') lavender fading to white flowered selection from the famed Western Hills Nursery in California. Tough and one of the best for tolerating low temps. We were so excited to go to Western Hills years ago and loved the setting and age of the plantings.
Hebe decumbens
Hebe decumbens
Price: $10.00 In Stock

Quart Pot
Helleborus x sternii 'Fire and Ice'
Helleborus x sternii 'Fire and Ice'
Price: $10.00 In Stock

Medium Band Pot
Certainly one of the best of the variegated x sternii strains selected by our friend Diana Reeck at Collectors Nursery. White speckling with pink tints especially pronounced in the new growth and all held on red stems - very nice! 2" greenish flowers in spring. Sun and drought tolerant.
Hepatica x media
Hepatica x media
Price: $10.00 In Stock

Quart Pot
Fabulous hybrid Hepatica that in time will form mats of great lobed foliage with loads of light medium blue flowers in early spring. A durable plant with few if any faults. Great with Ranunculus ficaria and Hellebores.
Hesperantha coccinea 'Salmon Star'
Hesperantha coccinea 'Salmon Star'
Price: $10.00 In Stock

Quart Pot
A newer introduction of the former Schizostylis from our friend Urs Baltensperger. This has bright salmon pink flowers and not surprisingly is a good grower with an extended bloom period. These do spread so give it a bit of room. Easy to control its spread as most of your friends will want a piece.
