From Peter Korn in Sweden to Ed Bowen in Rhode Island to us in Port Townsend - an interesting study in anthro-assisted ornamental plant dispersal. Beautiful blue flowers with white throats opening from amethyst buds. This is much slower to increase than the flexuosa/elata group. Best in cool gardens. We mean temperature not plant palette because if you are shopping here, then interesting gardens is a given.

Unit price perFabulous tough evergreen large shrub from a Dan Hinkley collection in Chile. Copious white flowers late August to October which provides the often underappreciated attribute of sound from the sheer variety and numbers of bees! Takes dry but fine with more water. Deer proof.

Speckled Wood-lily is common name as white flowers are lightly speckled in green and purple. The flowers are held in an umbel clustered atop stems up to twenty inches tall if the plant is in its happy place, The flowers are replaced by round black fruit. The tongue-like green leaves make a dense cover and this is gently rhizomatous creating a small carpet in time. Good soil in shade and reasonably moist. These are our own divisions and not bought-in wild collections.

A good hardy form of this Sedum-like species from Rick Lupp of Mt Tahoma Alpines who has grown this in his sand beds for over 20 years where it has taken single digits in the winter. Low, fleshy green leaves are a perfect backdrop for the salmon-red 3"-4" flower stems with nice heads of small white flowers accented by a small salmon-pink eye. Perfect in our crevice garden.

Sought after and desirable spring ephemeral from the cold forests of northern Japan. This bulbous species - think Corydalis solida for comparison - is one of the best of the blue flowered species in the opinion of the UK's national collection holder of the genus. A single flowering size bulb of this gem but they multiply!

We would have been thrilled to have Paul's second or third best yellow judging by what he regard's as his best. This is an awesome plant with very large flowers of excellent substance clustered in dense heads which compounds the visual impact. Tall stems to 40" just to make sure you won't miss seeing this in bloom. A good even rich yellow that is not brightly strident but very capable of mingling with other colors and more than enough self-confidence to carry the display load on its own if required.

A chance seedling in our gardens with some affinity to "Purple Leaf' and other clones out of England. The similarities are such that we were reluctant to clutter the field with another named Corydalis but it is good enough to share so an "unofficial" descriptive is our solution. Purplish new leaves and scented lavender-blue flowers,

A lovely gold leafed sport of 'Cream da Mint' that Rick Sawyer found in his Fernwood Nursery in Maine. This truly glows particularly in spring when the gold coloration is at its best. The larger than usual white scented flowers are a fine accompaniment. Slower spreading than many selections.

This is a true jewel and one we always look forward to seeing in the fall when the tabletop sized patch of low dense dark green leaves are alight with outrageous large white daisy flowers. Talk about contrast with so many of the hot colors of Autumn! In taxonomic flux, we previously offered this as Nipponanthemum nipponicum. The white flowers take on some pink-lavender tones as they age and all looks quite good over the dark green foliage.

One of the most sophisticated ornamental small trees and a well-grown mature plant is without rival. Broad spreading branches in well-spaced layers superbly display the foliage and lacy white flowers in May which are followed by bird-yummy black fruit. No anthracnose issues which so afflicts our native Cornus nuttallii. These are young plants on their own roots and not grafted. When we think of this tree, we cannot help but think of John Massey's private garden at Ashwood Nursery in England where this perfectly sited and impeccably grown tree stands at the focal nexus of garden magic.

Interesting genus in the Bellflower or Campanula family and we try to grow as many different ones as possible. Just how long can we last growing unprofitable plants is a question we ponder. This is one of the better ones for the garden making perennial carrot roots and annual vines to 4' with tubby cream flowers with purple corolla lips. Z5 at least.

Silver Cloak Fern. At home over a broad stretch of Asia from Vietnam up to Siberia where it favors growing on rocks or walls in degraded - some say rotted - moss and organic matter. A low growing evergreen fern with startling white undersides to the leaves. Low water requirements once established. Most folks say zone 5 but we'll say 6.

Fantastic New Zealand tree-like Asparagaceae member, its cousin C. australis isn't uncommon as a houseplant or tropical, winter garage-dweller; but this rarer species features broader leaves and slightly more cold tolerance. Still relegated to summer-only or houseplant status for most of us, and a bit trickier to grow in exchange for its elevated appearance. Requires moist but very well drained soils and doesn't cope well with intense summer heat. For those looking for a rewarding challenge and a unique appearance not easily found elsewhere there is a lot to enjoy here.

Free-blooming groundcover that is evergreen with yellow button flowers on 8" stems from spring until fall. Very few demands from this plant and as such, we expect few complaints from you. This will grow and perform ably given minimal attention. Indicator plant for a new hobby.

Unit price perA purple flowering variety of this Asian gesneriad. While the leaves are pretty typical of the family at maturity, the immature leaves are incredibly textured like the interior of corrugated cardboard, or pruned fingers from a overly luxurious bath. Bright purple, tubular, star-shaped flowers somewhere between Nicotiana and Asarum held in small stalked clumps above the rosette. Prefers a rocky wet but well drained spot akin to its native environment.

More widely known as 'Apricot', this is one of the stellar performers in the fall garden where its seemingly artless open display of classically simple single flowers of peachy pink ray petals around a yellow eye belie a scrupulous attention to detailed presentation behind the veil of nonchalance.

This little beaut seems so architectural that I always imagine it to be a cathedral for the fairy folk. Rigid, vertical spires (non denominational - it's not Catholic) are robed in dark green leaves and blessed with soft lavender flowers of an open-faced innocence. Uncommon of course.

You should feel grateful enough to be able to grow any of the many glorious Australian evergreen shrubs that you don't ask for more. But if you were to do so, you greedy little botanophile you, this checks those extra few boxes that make it nigh irresistible. Having its origins on the high slopes of the eponymous mountain this Callistemon is exceptionally hardy, asking little in the way of water, and providing a palisade against voracious ungulates. Needle-like foliage, compact form, and cheery yellow bottlebrushes wraps up all that substance in a perfect bow of style. This is one princess that will have her cake and eat it too, egalitarianism be damned.

Everything good about this yellow hybrid from David Tristan in the UK. Densely clumping and quite respectful of its allotted space in the garden. Flowers are a rich clear yellow with a good open flared aspect and rounded petals of distinct substance. There is a lot of flower for a compact 24" plant!

This is an Alan Bloom selection from Bressingham Gardens which he introduced in 1970. 'Spitfire' is a feisty little plant making a dense clump of thin leaves with flared open fiery red-orange flowers held closely together in which the many presents as one to great effect. A smaller mounding plant than some of its kin.
