Conservancy Plants

There's no telling how long this Agapetes spends on its makeup each morning but what is for sure is that its eyeliner is decidedly on point. Whereas the usual species features overt rouge that often fades with age, the clasping parts of the flowers here are delicately outlined in a deep red resulting in a suave toupee or fancy hat for the striking yellow corolla. A Steve Hootman collection of this stunning Himalayan blueberry relative from Arunachal Pradesh, and the winner of our 2024 Rare Plant Rumble.

A Far Reaches Botanical Conservancy Offering

A newly described (2013) species found in..............wait for it.............Tennessee in just three locations. Incredibly rare and a very exciting find. These are seed grown from our plants, specimens used to describe the species and do not impact the wild population. Small yellow flowers with a maroon base. A Far Reaches Botanical Conservancy Offering. These are likely not flowering size. The good news is that they increase quite well vegetatively - we were pleasantly surprised when we lifted our plants and saw how much they increased.

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.
