Giant Chinese Mayapple. Seed-grown from an exceptional form of Podophyllum pleianthum called 'The Giant' which is notable for its extra large, tractor seat green leaves. In Podophyllum, size definitely matters! This will be an impressive plant in the moist shade garden reaching up to 40" tall with maroon flowers tucked under the leaves. The basic formula for success is food + water = Big Leaves.

Think of this as a woodland Salvia which blooms in the Fall. This Japanese jewel brings an unexpected and welcome shot of color to the shade garden in Fall with airy panicles to 3 or 4 feet holding zillions of small tubular blue-purple flowers. Something nice to look if you are overloaded on the reds-oranges-yellows classic colors. Our staff plant nerd Cindy reports that she loves this in her garden so there you have it for local testimonials.

Another excellent selection shared with us by Jan and Marty, this has flowers with a reverse of rich purplish-pink and faces of lavender pink that are washed in white. Each petal is gently heart-shaped which is very fortunate when one considers the possibilities offered by other organs. And we will stop right there.

A selection by a wildflower nursery in Virginia of this valued Eastern woodlander. Not the aggressive species found in commercial landscapes but one much more choice and selected forms are desirous. Some silvering to the leaves on this form - admittedly the variations can be subtle but more pronounced after a visit to the pot dispensary.

An impeccable Scottish source provided this indispensable Candelabra Primrose. Burnt orange flower buds open to orange flowers held in tiers on short, 12" dark stems which pair perfectly with the reddish midrib of the leaves. Shorter than most Candelabra types, this space-saver can move to the path edge for easy viewing. From high, moist meadows and seeps in Yunnan.

Wide petals of bright fuchsia pink tempered by a pale white eye simply cannot fail to please. Unless of course you don't do pink, but this could be that gateway plant to that wanton world where pink plays such a big role.

Choice shrubby flowering cherry that gets to 8' and as wide. Makes a mass of zig-zag twigs in winter followed by profuse white flowers with pale pink calyces, and all the hot colors in fall from rich yellow to rich purple. Hard to find fault with this and there is too much of that going around nowadays anyway. Excellent for bonsai.

If, like me, your answer to what's better than a pinnate leaf is "why a bipinnate leaf of course" then you are in good company here. A fern for fine-foliaged fanatics fueled by feather-like flights of fancy, this welsh polypod has pinnately or sometimes bipinattely lobed pinnules especially towards the base of each frond creating the delicate effect of a fern shaped snowflake!

Rare Japanese alpine especially in this choice dwarf form. Compact little dome of good green foliage studded with yellow flowers. Ideal for the trough or rock garden. There needs to be more trough gardeners. Join the North American Rock Garden Society - it truly rocks.

Also sometimes found as Polypodium cambricum 'Omnilacerum Oxford' this form of welsh polypody likes to get a bit wavy, so a perfect one to bring along with your mates to that all night rave. Or if instead of a slightly addled teenager you tend more towards florid Victorian you may describe it more viscerally as 'all lacerated'. Basically the usually entire margins of the pinnae can go from a gently undulating curvature to a starkly incised jagged edge, these forms tend to express a bit variably and develop with age but nonetheless add some extra character to an already excellent all-rounder fern.

Rare selection of this Japanese woodlander of delicate stature notable for its smoky cast to the foliage particularly in the early part of the season. Named for Mt Hakkoda in Aomori Prefecture (best skiing in Japan) where we presume this was found. This is a little shorty with small pale bells and will clump up nicely. Thanks to Darrell Probst for sharing this bit of rare awesomeness.

A very charming lithophyte from our collection in China where it clad the upper portion of an appliance-sized boulder in the shade of an open broadleaf evergreen forest. This evergreen to semi-evergreen fern has leaflets so soft they rival the downy belly of a baby chinchilla - pure conjecture but accurate. There was heavy usage from grazing in the area this was found and there were examples of Lithocarpus being felled by keeping a fire burning at the base of the trees. The grazing benefited Rhododendron spinuliferum however, which turned these gangly shrubs into perfect dense, upright specimens that Peter Cox said were the best he had ever seen.

This from an unforgettable visit to Aberconwy Nursery in Wales, exceptional alpine plant growers. A tender African violet relative, this makes dense rosettes of spirally arranged rugose leaves - the perfect backing for the white flowers! A Far Reaches Botanical Conservancy Introduction.

Good blue-flowered marginata selection named for Primula enthusiast Jimmy Long. The species is native to European alps and is found in rocky cliffs often under overhangs. These have been easy in pots in the open nursery and are great container or rock garden plants.

We're looking at a houseplant here for everyone except those with that San Francisco microclimate and if you are lucky enough to have such a thing, just for the record - we pretty much hate you. But we'll set aside the envy and sell you one of these astoundingly lovely ferns with long white ghostly fingered fronds.

A collection by Tony Avent from South Korea as Polygonatum odoratum but it has been found to be a different species and one seldom seen in gardens. Familiar arching stems to 3' with narrow white bells tipped in green hanging underneath. These flowers are scented with lemon and is most noticeable as you stroll the garden with your morning coffee. Zone 4 to zone 8b.

Higher elevation Chinese species favoring a moist and rich with compost spot in part sun. This has long been a favorite species of ours with its pendant rose-purple flowers held on long pedicels heavily coated in white mealy farina and carried aloft on tall stems up to 2 to 3 feet. Sue grew this in northern VT.

Unit price perOur collection from Asia of this evergreen fern we might refer to as Pyrrosia lingua, but given that taxonomy is especially fluid these years, we're allowing it might be something different. This formed an impressive colony on the bluff overlaying a partly shaded large rock slab where it would endure periods of dry. Vigorous! Good drainage is important.

The original introduction of this species by friend and mentor Steve Doonan from Taiwan in the late 60's or early 70's. This is the typical species and differs from ones seen with twisted leaves which were from tissue culture. Divisions of the plant given to us by Steve. Steve told us this survived in a pot outside one extreme winter for him at 0F.
