One of the quiet stars of our shade garden is this cross between rich yellow Anemone ranunculoides and white Anemone nemorosa. The result is a vigorous small scale shade loving groundcover with profuse primrose yellow flowers. Perfect as a planting under larger plants. Moist.

A refined shade plant that would grace any plant connoisseur's garden yet is perfectly happy to hang with us average Joes. Leaves evoking Anemone and pendant flowers combining pastels and lavenders in an understated parasol of exquisite design and dimension. A plant that is not on the radar of a lot of gardeners so let's keep it to ourselves. It has been pleasingly tough and durable in our shade garden.

The luscious double flowered form of this aristocratic woodlander from Japan. Extra petals on the lightly blue-pink tinged white flowers takes this to the next level. This is certainly one of the 3000-4000 plants that we would grab first if the greenhouses were ablaze. Our own plants from our divisions - not imported.

A striking Angelica for the sunny border. Finely dissected, deep purple to nearly black foliage is accented by purple buds revealing pink flowers in late summer. Biennial, but removing spent flowers before seed set will prolong its life a few years. Or if you have terrible timing, just collect and plant the seeds.

Interesting member of the Solanaceae which we collected in Bita Hai in Yunnan waaaay back in 1997. Totally dormant in winter, this bursts forth in late spring and rapidly makes a multi-stemmed plant up to 5' high with curious nearly waxy 1.5" pale greenish flowers like overturned spittoons. Poisonous rhizomes are used medicinally. Thanks to Cody Hinchliff for keying.

Collected by Daniel Winkler from Tibet, we previously erroneously listed this primitive Columbine as Semiaquilegia adoxoides - thanks to Bob Nold for keeping us honest! This spurless Columbine has dainty downturned pink-cupped flowers in late spring and early summer. Widespread in China.

Unit price perA columbine caricatured for cuteness would be a fair assessment of this species and selection. Taking an already dwarf plant and selecting for the smallest of its kind is very Alpine gardener behavior and luckily this one plays along happily growing and seeding in our crevice garden. Buoyant light purple and white-centered starship flowers outsize in comparison to the teensy vegetative parts. Happy in colder climes but unsuited to strong summer heat.

Unit price perBoy oh boy does this one tick the boxes that elicit pavlovian salivation. Endemic to only a few counties in Utah this extremely rare columbine grows in moist rocky crevices in its native habitat, often found hanging like a miniature sun from sheer rock faces, a performance it carries on with aplomb here in our crevice garden. Red and orange starship flowers sure to bring a grin to even the most seasoned plant veterans.

A collection from Mt Lemmon in Arizona which is the highest point in the Santa Catalina Mountains. This is a very ornamental relative to our native Madrone, Arbutus menziesii and the Strawberry Tree, Arbutus unedo. This broadleaf evergreen will become a small to medium-sized tree in time with red-orange new growth and yellowish to pinkish round fruit which follows small, white, urn-shaped flowers which are enjoyed by bees. Prefers good drainage in a lean mineral soil on the dry side. Once established, should require no or little summer water here in Mediterranean Puget Sound.

Extremely handsome big evergreen shrub to 10'x10' or more. 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. As 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.

Small green leaves and light pink flowers combine with the expected good bark color and texture and trunks and branches. This will be an open broad rounded shrub 6 or 7 feet tall and as wide in ten years depending on the gardener. Drought tolerant, this requires little summer water in our dry summers and good drainage is key. Our overwintering Anna's hummingbirds appreciate the early spring flowers.

A Bay Area species thought to be extinct until a single plant was discovered in 2009 during a botanical survey prior to a freeway expansion. This one plant was dug and lifted by crane for transplanting to San Francisco Botanical Garden and one of the first propagations was given to us by the curator. Low growing to 2 feet or so and spreading with white flowers. Perfect example of ex situ conservation by botanic gardens and specialist nurseries.

Here is the answer for those who want to grow a classy groundcover Manzanita that isn't Kinnikinnick. We planted a 1 gallon plant 5 years ago in our dry garden and it is 1 foot tall and making a 6 foot circle. Small glossy leaves on reddish stems and white bells in spring. Good things come in small packages. Lean soil, no organic mulch we use washed sand.

Very choice species native to CA and growing on old stablized sand dunes where it can reach 3' high and twice as wide. This could make a nice specimen plant, low hedge or large informal groundcover. Drought and salt tolerant with early season white flowers and birds will eat the fruit.

A remarkable Manzanita native to the southern Mendocino Coast which features unusually large rounded leaves for a groundcover type. Makes a dense cover mounding to 24"-30" tall and 8' + across with white flowers and bird attractant small fruit. The leaves seem verging on succulent giving this a uniquely appealing look. The name commemorates Peter Ehrlich, former head Forester at the Presidio in San Francisco, who died in a bike accident in 2017.

Also found as Potentilla lineata. We originally received seed of this back in the 90's from a Chris Chadwell collection in Nepal. An exceptional foliage plant with long silken silvery leaves and tall loosely arrayed yellow flowers in early summer, which we have offered in the past simply as Potentilla sp. This was misidentified by another nursery in the area as P. gelida and as a result, is in the trade here as P. gelida which is unfortunate as it bears little similarity to this ornamentally uninteresting species. Then to make matters more complicated P. lineata recently became Argentina lineata nonetheless it is one of our favorite herbaceous Potentilla-like plants which Chris ID'd for us here in the summer of 2013.
