Sweet little evergreen groundcover from southern Taiwan where it grows at low to mid elevation in littoral thickets. Then there are the virtual thickets.... Small rounded leaves and yes, there are very small figs but it would take a lot to make figgy pudding. Zone 8 hardy and grows at the Zone 7 Raulston Arboretum in a sheltered spot where it is deciduous in cold winters. Tolerant of shade.
Distinctive Asian conifer forming impressively large trees up to 100' and we've been very fortunate to see large specimens in Guangxi Province. The dense branchlets are flattened much like a Thuja and extremely handsome. Ours is thriving in full sun/wind exposure. Recently moved to Chamaecyparis and then back. Young plants.
A Chilean collection of a very large form of this showy species. You can correctly infer that since this is larger, it is showier! Four foot tall or more flower stems arise from the bold basal rosettes of ruffled rounded leaves to display in grand fashion the wands of white-throated pink flowers. If size is important to you and if we are all being honest, it is, then this is the Francoa to which all others must be measured and found lacking. Mild gardens here.
Like lots of things we sell here, we searched near and far for the ideal Far Reaches cap and this is it! Distressed 100% cotton in a variety of colors with a sweet antiqued brass buckle for a custom fit. We had it embroidered with our logo by a small shop in town to help support our little local economy.
These is one of those elfin whimsies that always elevates my mood whenever I see it blooming. A South African bulb once known as Laperousia this is just a delight, usually red flowered but this selection flowers white with a central red blotch providing a lovely pop of contrast. This survived for years at C. Leo Hitchcocks' garden in Seattle with no care. Will seed a bit if happy and fine with dry soils.
A good form we have increased painfully slowly by division over the last dozen or so years. This makes no financial sense whatsoever but we get oodles of smiles from this when it flowers every spring in the nursery so compensation enough. From eastern Washington and summer dry is fine.
A hardy upright Fuchsia for our Northwest gardens which has good sized red flowers with a prominent rich purple corolla. We always mulch our fuchsias for the winter and expect them to be cut to the ground in a normal hard winter but they regrow and bloom like nothing happened the following summer.
A fine hardy hybrid from Deb and Ron Monnier whose nursery, Monnier's Country Gardens in Woodburn, OR closed in 2009. This knockout will keep the memory alive for years to come. Maroon tube and sepals embrace a corolla that is black velvet eggplant in color with an optical texture that is almost 3D. To 3' and hardy in the PNW. Mulch in winter.
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.
This is not a Fuchsia to which one can remain indifferent. A tender species from South America, this is a winter-bloomer with long, thin flowers appearing at leaf fall and then adorning the 3'-5' bare stems. The distinctly softly lavender-pink flowers lack an inner corolla presenting a very pleasing minimalist design aesthetic and the large orange fruit which follow are an unexpectedly discordant delight. We're not sure how this species came by its name but it will totally rule your greenhouse in winter. Here in the PNW, flowering is punctuated by ongoing street fights among factions of overwintering Anna's hummingbirds vying for control. Viva la revolucion!
Tiny little gem with bright variegated leaves and teeny yet brilliant cerise flowers. This would look smashing in a mixed container of summer annuals. Someday we'll do an Elvish Fantasy garden with plants of diminutive scale that are cute beyond their physical proportion and this would be one of the centerpieces.
Heyrick Greatorix hybridized Galanthus plicatus with G. nivalis 'Flore Pleno' and selected several outstanding double seedlings to name and these are part of the group known as the Greatorix Doubles. 'Dionysus' is one of the earliest of these to flower and and has large white flowers with petals parted to show the well-marked green inner perianth with its packed green inner petals with their white picotee. An excellent one for the garden both in persistence and increase. And might I say right here that thank the gods that Heyrick Greatorix did some excellent Galanthus hybridizing so that future generations might have the benefit of not only enjoying his snowdrops but also his name. Hopefully some of you with children pending might set aside the names of reality tv stars (research shows that these are the popular names) in favor of a name that has and will stand the test of time. While I might not legally change my name Heyrick Greatorix, a tattoo is not out of the question.
This is one snowdrop sure to win over both the dedicated galanthophile and those less enthused about the minute variations that drive them wild. This variety boasts 6 outer and inner petals, for you devotees of the invisible hand that's an extra 50% free! Gives a beautiful and distinct star-shaped silhouette that's truly unique.
This was a purchase by the Miller Botanic Garden in the late 90's from the RHS store at Wisley and to our knowledge, is not available in this country and very scarce elsewhere. An early bloomer, in fact, it is flowering now this late December in its pots sitting outside unprotected as we have had a relatively mild winter so far. Huge flowers resembling an elwesii Whittall Group but it isn't according to Galanthophiles we know. Increases well and a good performer in the garden. Yes, it is one bulb.
A choice Snowdrop with very large single flowers and one of the earliest to bloom. This was found in the garden of John Gray in England and is a hard one to come by. Increases moderately well and seems to be a survivor with a good constitution as it is going strong here while more effete selections have dwindled.
A robust selection of this good garden species. Large white flowers with a prominent broad and full upside down horseshoe of green on the inners. The bold gray-green leaves of the species and this is a good increaser on its own without you having to learn how to do bulb chipping.
Received as Edward Whittall group but lacking the features of that mixed up group. Not to say this isn't worth having in its own right. Quite a distinct form that we can't quite put a name to, lacking in the usual double inner markings of elwesii. These have a large, nearly x-shaped green marking and at times produce 3 rather than the usual 2 leaves. A charming curiosity, pin your own favorite name on it Xcellent, Xstatic, X-Out, Xerox, Xenon, X-marks-the-spot, you get the gist.
The one-spotted form of the classic Giant snowdrop. Maintains the broad grey-green leaves and buoyantly rounded flowers of the species but does away with the upper green band generally seen on the inner segments in favor of just the apical wishbone green marking giving a distinctly snowier and elegantly clean appearance.
A fine and vigorous form of Galanthus plicatus with inner segments bearing a distinct and delineated green mark. This older selection was found in a garden in the village of Warham and has proved itself as a durable garden plant. Thanks to galanthophile Carole Jennings for sharing her collection with us awhile back.
A southeastern native in one of our favorite families, the Diapensiaceae, this has unapologetic beautiful evergreen foliage and wands of white flowers which evoke our native Vanilla Leaf, Achlys triphylla. This form, we assume from Watnong Nursery in Morris Plains, NJ, is notable for very good vigor and garden adaptability. Spreads not fast enough by runners and appreciates looser forest-type soil. Light shade to cool mostly sun.
