A lovely Geum we brought in from Scotland and at last have a few to share. A smaller plant with flower stems to just 10"-12" tall holding soft pink flowers whose petal edges are toothed and feathered in an enchanting frill. A color that blends gently with others and well able to stand out on its own merits. We struggle to find fault.

Maianthemum henryi - Yunnan Form

3500

$35.00

Staggeringly good False Solomon Seal from China which owns its corner of our shade garden when it is in bloom. The very gratifying terminal white flowers are a reward unto themselves but on a big clump like we have, the fragrance from these makes this a multi-sensory experience of the very best sort. Small red fruit if you are lucky.

Omphalodes verna 'Grandiflora'

Omphalodes verna 'Grandiflora'

1600

$16.00

Surely one of the best Omphalodes with electric blue flowers nearly twice the size of the species. This was shared with us by our plant guru John Flintoff who has given us so many treasures over the years. A vigorous and not fussy coarse foliaged groundcover perfect under Rhododendrons and one that is easy to keep in bounds. Those blue Forget-me-not flowers somehow just seems to feel like an integral part of spring for us.

Crocosmia 'Hellfire'

3200

$32.00

You don't have to sell your soul to have this in your garden but once you see it, you would be more than willing. New selection from the UK that has to be Lucifer's love child. This is so much better than that old devil. Stout dark sooty stems holding deep burning red flowers with a wide flared corolla that lacks only the smell of brimstone and the wail of sinners. We do get involuntary high-pitched keening from people who see our big display plant so maybe we're just missing the brimstone. Quite difficult to come by, these are single large corms we would typically put into a gallon pot for sale here at the nursery.

Hepatica transsilvanica 'Elison Spence'

3200

$32.00

These were shared with us by Kelly's mentor and fair to say, hero, the late Steve Doonan of Grand Ridge Nursery. A superb selection with petaloid stamens giving this a robust doubled appearance. Always hard to come by and much sought after, this will in time make a nice carpet of ostentation of which we were at first embarrassed by our display of excess but we have managed to come to terms with it. These are multi-eyed divisions potted this winter so there won't be much for roots until they start growing this spring but will be nice plants. We would like to save them until they are fully rooted out but they always sell here before that happens so we have listed them with the root caveat.

Haberlea rhodopensis 'Virginalis'

2000

$20.00

The pure white flowering form of this hardy gateway drug gesner. Has everything the die-hards love about the genus with the leathery evergreen rosettes and amiably nodding open faced flowers. Happy on rock or in a sharply drained situation. Divisions off of seed grown plants from the original clone.

$18.00

They don't told us we couldn't bring back any live animals from China, so with bufophilic dreams crushed we settled for the next best thing and brought back this incredibly vigorous toad lily from Anhui province. Quickly growing to form a patch of mighty stems clearing 4ft tall in our collector's garden with large broad leaves irregularly spotted (especially when newly emerged) and followed by delightful pink and white polka-dotted octopi in late summer and early fall. One of the best in our not unsizable Tricyrtis collection and well worth spending some quality time with sitting on your toadstool.

Dactylorhiza 'Harold Esslemont'

6500

$65.00

Solidly colored mid-purple flowers with each individual flower being of good size. The leaves are unspotted and green. This excellent selection commemorates Scotland's great plantsman who was a notable alpine grower and exhibitor. Nice sized rhizomes but may not flower the first year. This is a rare offering in the US. A Far Reaches Botanical Conservancy offering.

Hesperantha coccinea 'Beyond the Pale'

Hesperantha coccinea 'Beyond the Pale'

1800

$18.00

A seedling selection named by us for the extra large flowers which when compared to others, is not only beyond the pale ones but all others as well. Signaling the end of summer, the September-October flowers of the palest pink are similar to the cultivar 'Pallida' but bigger so of course it has to be better. These will be ecstatic in rich, moist soil in a sunny position. Used to be Schizostylis.

Epimedium hunanense hybrid

2000

$20.00

Lucky dip offering of open-pollinated seed-grown plants from a very vigorous and bold foliage mama plant. There were adjacent good Epimediums so these variable children should all be attractive and evergreen. Colors are going to surprise us all.

Lilium mackliniae x mackliniae NAPE 049 - Saramati Form

$20.00

Lilium mackliniae x mackliniae NAPE 049 - Saramati Form

2000

$20.00

Our cross between the "typical" Lilium mackliniae and the Saramati form which will be recognized as a distinct variety of the species. The former has larger flowers and is more campanulate while the latter is a high elevation variant with smaller flowers and blooms earlier. This hybrid is very uniform from seed, short, stout, earlier than typical while having flowers nicely intermediate. Pretty cool.

Gentiana 'Shot Silk'

$16.00

One of the good ones raised by Keith Lever at Aberconwy Nursery in Wales and granted an Award of Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society in 1991. Large trumpets of dark royal blue tempered with violet and lit by white exterior stripes and throat. This is a compact grower which makes for a concentrated display of these flowers and would be a suitable subject for a pot. Full sun in moist soil for best results.

Hepatica nobilis - blue

$20.00

The typically blue-flowered European species but from a great source. Thanks to our friend and Hepatica guru John Massey of Ashwood Nurseries for sharing seed. We have flowered these plants and they are indeed blue! Perfect in the woodland garden, very hardy and with impeccable provenance.

Disporopsis aff. undulata RHR CH047(Previously as D. aspersa)

1800

$18.00

A collection from Sichuan by Riz Reyes which is quite exceptional. Our resident didact in Polygonatum and associates, Aaron Floden, has found this to be closely related to Disporopsis undulata but larger in all aspects earning the use of a placeholder "pseudoundulata" name. We can't settle the taxonomic nomenclature but "Rizing Star" wouldn't be half bad as a clonal name acknowledging both one of the Northwest's fine young plantsmen but also the superior flowers which is a good thing in a Disporopsis! For purposes of garden design, this is essentially an evergreen Solomon Seal that will get 18"-28" tall with off-white flowers touched in very light yellow in the interior and heavily speckled in dark amber.

Petrocosmea begoniifolia

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.

Helichrysum thianschanicum

$18.00

From the Tian Shan Mts comes this tough little subshrub that is among the finest expressions of silver foliage to be found. Eversilver aromatic leaves on an 18" rounded plant with yellow button flowers in late summer. I bet the deer find it repugnant. Good drainage, some to little water.

Agapanthus 'Kingston Blue'

2000

$20.00

A lovely cultivar introduced to this area by the enigmatic Pete Ray of Vashon and no relation to our local Kingston. Tastefully narrow deciduous leaves with medium small flower heads of a good clear mid-blue. Hardy and a good performer in the garden. Sun and deer resistant.

Eucryphia lucida 'Pink Cloud'

2000

$20.00

Typically a white-flowered Tasmanian native evergreen tree, this pink version was found in 1984 by Ken Gillanders. Must have been jaw-dropping as the plant was 65' tall although the tallest in cultivation is perhaps 25'. Serious authorities have it hardy zones 7-10 but we'll say Z 8-10 and best sheltered from freezing/drying wind. Bees love this adding kinetic beauty plus the species accounts for the majority of honey production in Tasmania. These are small cutting grown trees.

Gentiana cf. veitchiorum MD12-61

1600

$16.00

Rich deep blue trumpets with exterior pale striping on this collection from a 10,000' alpine moist meadow where it mingled with too many Primula, dwarf Rhododendron and a Bistorta that unexpectedly threatened to steal the show. This requires rich, moist acid soil with afternoon shade in hot sun areas.

Corydalis 'Porcelain Blue'

$18.00

Corydalis 'Porcelain Blue'

1800

$18.00

A fragrant free-flowering and good perennial blue Corydalis. That blue is displayed in a quantity of such a pure intensity that it can leave one in a state of unintelligible, ecstatic glossolalia. It is best to dress accordingly as you want to be looking fine if that happens. To 12"+ and wider, rich and moist.
