A cool tolerant species from the Himalaya, we keep this in our 40F greenhouse over the winter and it seems to like it. We're not traditional orchid growers as a rule but this has been super-easy, even in pots like everything else here. These are non-flowering divisions in gallon pots and could and should bloom next year. White flowers are of good size.

From Hubei comes this smaller form of Saxifraga stolonifera which, before taxonomic lumping, might have been called S. veitchiana. Found growing in moss on a shaded cliff face in Abies fargesii forest. This will spread by strawberry-like stolons and makes a sweet little evergreen groundcover with airy white flowers.

Box Huckleberry. This now rare in the wild blueberry relative is a choice little shrub that is notable on multiple counts. Compact habit to a foot or more tall and slowly spreading by rhizomes, this has good glossy evergreen leaves turning bronzy in winter with small whitish urn-shaped flowers giving way to edible blue berries. This is being marketed under the trademark name 'Berried Treasure' which might give the impression that it is a superior selection of an already outstanding species but it is the typical species with a more pronounceable marketing name. Marketing hype will be the death of horticulture.

A remarkable Manzanita native to the southern Mendocino Coast which features unusually large rounded leaves for a groundcover type. Makes a dense cover mounding to 24"-30" tall and 8' + across with white flowers and bird attractant small fruit. The leaves seem verging on succulent giving this a uniquely appealing look. The name commemorates Peter Ehrlich, former head Forester at the Presidio in San Francisco, who died in a bike accident in 2017.

Robust Japanese selection of this revered Primrose species with sumptuous pale-faced flowers breezed with the lightest smoke of lavender-pink. The backsides of the flowers are more intensely colored borrowing perhaps on the evolutionary success of flamboyant backsides across a wide range of species. Whenever we watch Nature on PBS and there are male Mandrills in full display, Kelly feels cheated, inadequate and frustrated being a monochromatic species until Sue says "Honey, it was your inner Mandrill that I fell in love with". Hardy zone 4 to 8b.

A fine dark purple selection of of our native Grass Widow. Like all of our Olsynium selections, this has been a long process of a decade or so to get this to a size where division is possible and we feel like we can safely release a few. Early flowering in Feb-Mar and fully dormant by summer. Myriad variants can be found in flower shape, color, size, time of bloom etc. and it would be easy to go Galanthus on this species in terms of collecting mania. We speak from first-hand experience on our Olsynium descent into madness. Multiple shoots which may or may not flower as it is hard to tell when dormant. This is a winter-spring moist plant which goes dry in summer in the wild where it grows in fairly heavy soil.

An exceptional selection by Duane West of presumably consanguineum. What sets this apart is the sultry smokiness of the new growth - the expanding radial array of leaflets colored darkly in alluring Mystery and Promise. The pseudostem leans strongly against the bar and beckons, allowing the olive flowers to stand proud.

A rare introduction of this small alpine Allium that is scarcely represented in cultivation. Small flattened leaves arch close to the ground and the short-stemmed blue flowers are quite pleasing. The leaves distinguish it from the similar but with rounded leaves, Allium cyaneum, which it shares habitat.

Large burnished red to maroon to olive-maroon leaves depending on leaf maturity and light intensity. The small pinkish red flowers are nice but not required for universal admiration. Our big plant has the gravitational pull of a black hole upon visitors who walk by a plethora of amazing rarities to pay homage to Fred. Frost-free.

Choice Romanian species with evergreen leaves and blue flowers. This spreads by creeping rhizomes and in time, you can divide and spread about the garden or dangle as elite trade bait among your gardening friends. Grown from seed given us by our friend and Hepatica King, John Massey.

Uncommon evergreen Deutzia and we may be the only nursery in the US that carries it! This has glossy dark green leaves with a white underside. Early summer brings subtle clusters of small, star shaped white flowers with pronounced golden anthers. From a Peter Cox collection in the Cangshan.

One of the hardiest of the Leptospermums which, in time and left alone, will achieve the appearance of a ruggedly handsome small tree. We say this in case you have control issues and mistake shearing for pruning in which case this will be a nice dense ball. Or square. Or blob. Evergreen, nice white flowers, deer-proof, drought tolerant. Thanks to Leptophiliac Ian Barclay for sharing this.

Named for the central Mexican city from which it was collected this Beschorneria forms attractively lax rosettes of strappy evergreen foliage similar to a spineless version of the closely related Agave. Slightly narrower leaves than most in the genus and only growing to about 2' wide. The real showstopper are the 5' tall hot pink flower spikes that look like Barbie-ified Godzilla asparagus dangling greenish, pendulous flowers that add grandma's lampshade fringe into the mix.

A vigorous selection from Piping Tree Gardens Nursery some years back. We have not offered this before and finally a few divisions deemed expendable thanks to the Covid-19 loss of retail, lectures, tours and offsite plant sales. There is a silver, or rather, a snowy lining to this pandemic. Sizable, white pendulous flowers nod beneath the leaves and this will increase nicely in a few years.

Alpine Bush Mint. This high elevation Aussie handled our 2010-11 Winter of Horror with scarcely a whimper. Dense shrublet with rounded packed leaves minty when crushed and white flowers with red-yellow-purple in the throat from spring and sporadically until fall. Excellent plant.

Candelabra Primrose. Staggering floral display of tiered rings of flowers arrayed up sturdy stems from 18" to 30" when living large in rich, moist soil and all of this above broadly sumptuous and lightly rumpled foliage. A swash of these always leaves one a bit short of breath with its beauty. Yours will be either vibrant fuchsia or tomato terracotta - a surprise awaits down the line.

The leaves held on salmon stems are a soft dark olive green and enhanced by purplish-red undersides. A rhizomatous type making a very eye-catching mound and this is before the pink flowers take it up another notch. Underplanted with golden Creeping Jenny - dang! Good houseplant or summer containers. Tender.

A good form of this Chinese Jack in the Pulpit from plantsman Darrell Probst which sports the eye-catching and very elegant white-striped purple flowers typical of the species but here with the added ornament of dark stems rather than green. This used to be known as var. liubaense, for the lack of ciliate hairs on the spathe rim but this is a minor distinction and is no longer recognized. An excellent increaser by offsets, resulting in a proper colony over time.

White Skunk Cabbage. Beautiful Asian version of our familiar Skunk Cabbage. Big white flowers are a knockout and they don't smell bad - what a bonus! Good rich moist soil or boggy spot.
