Unit price perWith stereotypical German directness and efficiency Rotlaub means simply red leaf, no trademarked series name and all rights reserved tradename of Rockstar Red Rager needed when the attractive foliage does the talking for you. In the striking leaf big leagues with things like Gunnera and Podophyllum, Rodgersia certainly holds its own with large, leathery, jagged leaflets in mass layering themselves up to nearly 4 ft when given a nice moist bank to sink their teeth into the sprays of white summer flowers and red new growth in this form are an excess it seems even the most utilitarian of plant-namers can't resist. But don't worry the easy-to-please nature and fair hardiness range recenter things.

Unit price perA crisp October morning at 10000’ on the frozen summit of a mountain in Hubei with small copses of Rhododendron oreodoxa var. fargesii huddled together with leaves curled tubular in the cold. The grassy patches among the rock outcrops were brown and sparkling with frost crystals. We were there in search of the wee Allium henryi discovered in this area by Irish plant hunter Augustine Henry in the 1880’s but perhaps not introduced as our research indicated it was dubiously in cultivation if at all. At this point in the season, most herbaceous plants had succumbed to repeated hard frosts and we were left searching for likely maybe could be Allium withered brown foliage and tattered spent seed heads all of 3-4 inches in height. The view was spectacular although until we could claim a seed or two of a dwarf Allium, we could not give its just due. At last we found a scant few small plant remains in a weekly-grassed spot and some equally petite remnants in humus pockets on the flanks of a shaded rock cliff. Less than 10 seeds from each and we could find no more allowing us a moment to soak in the magnificence of lesser mountains marching away before as with precipitous valleys intervening all clad in true firs (Abies fargesii var. fargesii) which was so familiar yet so exotic. We realized this was one of the great vistas and Kelly said “Mom would like this” and from his pack pulled out a Ziploc of said mom’s ashes and gave them a good scattering. So what about those onion seeds? One lot did indeed turn out to be the blue-flowered Allium henryi with flat leaves lined in white underneath while the other, this one, proved to be the thin-leaved and also blue-flowered Allium cyaneum.

Unit price perWe love the Asiatic Gentians and want them all as they are easy, hardy and put on such a show in late summer/early fall. We were thrilled to get this one from our friend Urs of Edelweiss Nursery who brought this in from a German gentian specialist. Not your typical blue, this has white flowers with pale yellowish stripes. Moist and sun.

Unit price perA Mexican species and rhizomatous type with leaves that while not as large as the namesake Heracleum do rival in it in incised shape, and far outdo it in leaf patterning with a edge spattered in a dark reddish black. Could prove hardy in mild Zone 8 climates!
