Fabulous tough evergreen large shrub from a Dan Hinkley collection in Chile. Copious white flowers late August to October which provides the often underappreciated attribute of sound from the sheer variety and numbers of bees! Takes dry but fine with more water. Deer proof.
One of the Eastern US native Hepatica species that can be found plastered to mossy boulders in the woods providing some of the earliest harbingers of the Spring flower season. Classic liverspotted leaves and bright flowers somewhere on the spectrum of indigo, pink, and white. Like a humusy shelted location and also take well to pot culture.
Podophyllum or Dysosma – the Asian species are better in Dysosma but when shopping, most people look for Podophyllum when they need to push their shade garden over the top. This Chinese species was shared with us by our friend and great plantsman Darrell Probst who knows an extraordinary plant when he sees it. Among our sea of Podophyllum species and cultivars, this stands apart in habit, form and flower. Upright stems hold green lobed saucers of leaves which cannot be confused with the other green-leafed species. Beautifully displayed are single white flowers under each leaf which when pollinated, morphs into a glowing orange fruit. For us, this species stays in a tight crown without the running habit of some other species. This is good if your space is limited and bad if you want more and of course, we want lots! Which we don’t have but the scant few we do have in surplus, are here.
An unusually deeply colored selection of this Eastern US native dwarf Iris. Despite its Yankee origins this one has taken up with the enemy inheriting the name of noted British botanophile Collingwood 'Cherry' Ingram. What can we say the Anglo-saxon can't help but claim credit for what isn't theirs. Grows to just a couple inches high, dark purple flowers as big or bigger than the foliage
The Harvington name comes attached to excellent British cultivars of a variety of plants most notably Hellebores and refers to those plants developed in the village of Harvington by nurserymen Hugh Nunn. We got these via John Massey of Ashwood nurseries, another name of which there is little doubt when it comes to quality. All this to say this is an excellent Roscoea selection with deeply purple flowers centered by a white spot like a star in the night sky. Though you might be better off with a hand lens rather than a telescope for this sort of stargazing.
