Chinese version of our East Coast Diphylleia cymosa. If you are into herbaceous Berberidaceae, right - that is all of you so of course this is a must-have! White flowers and blue fruit on red pedicels about rounded scalloped foliage. Some have this merged into Podophyllum. We don't. Divisions from our own plants.
Mark Weathington of the Raulston Arboretum at NCSU introduced this goody from Taiwan. Narrow blade leaves are maculated in white and the upright stems bear small pink flowers in mid to late summer. A very interesting new addition to the hardy Begonia palette as this has a different look than what one usually sees. Mulch if winter is wicked.
A hybrid selection of the Asiatic Gentians. In rich moist acidic soil such as what we have on our sunny pond edge, this will make a small carpet of green short grassy foliage which explodes in late summer and fall with masses of thumb-sized light blue trumpets. A nice patch of this stops people in their tracks. This whole group of the Asiatics just leaves us a little emotional in a good way except when we see one we don't have and then admiration quickly turns to lust which seamlessly transitions to avarice and then its a downward slide to shameful contemplations but before it gets to that point we've learned to either leave, pop some meds or call a sponsor. This is deciduous and dies back to little crown buds in the winter so don't panic.
Large flowers with appropriate heart-shaped petals that are light pink on the backside and pale white-pink on the front. This is a comfortable plant with no surprises and you will have a sense of easy familiarity each spring when this flowers. No drama, no challenging colors, just a solid beauty of the sort that if it could smooch, it would.
An Allium of allure, an Onion objet d' art, indeed, a bulb most buxom. This are not epithets tossed around lightly as I for one, look askance upon horticultural banter. Broad sculptural leaves subtend a golf ball flower of pale lilac to silvery white. Exceptionally meritorious in rock gardens and containers and will take summer dry.
The white fruited form of the Tasmanian Blueberry Vine. The species is one of the choicest small evergreen vines and this white form is exceptional eye candy against a dark background. Mediocre chartreuse flowers and wild showy non messy marble-sized white fruit Aug to hard freeze.
Mountain Avens. Rare Washington State native, this is circumpolar in tundra areas including alpine areas in the Cascades and Rockies. Good evergreen groundcover with tough textured leaves hugging the ground. 8 petaled white flowers showing it belongs in the rose family are followed by festive plumed seed heads.
Second generation plants from our collection from the Cangshan, Yunnan in 1997. This was midway down the mountain sprawling among and on top of a tapestry of 4'-8' shrubs. The red fruit with brilliant pinnate scarlet foliage was pure eye candy. Expect multiple trunks with a liberal interpretation of vertical. An excellent Mountain Ash for smaller gardens.
This is a Chinese species with 12"-15" stems and good purple flowers borne on numerous scapes late spring and early summer above the stoutly grassy foliage. Stout compared to some of the finer textured Alliums anyway. This has been very easy and appreciates summer water as it is not one of the xeric bulbous types. This self-sows just enough and has not been a pest at all but the volunteer plants have simply taken the planting from intentional to natural.
Our collection from Asia of this Solomon Seal where it grew at 5500' in a mixed old growth forest of broadleaf evergreen and deciduous trees along with massive Rhododendrons. This was handsome in fruit with black fruit hanging under the leaves on the 18" tall arching stems. Two to six small white flowers in the leaf axils.
A floriferous hybrid Rhodohypoxis from South Africa which white flowers nicely flushed in pink. This will easily cover itself in flowers in June-July increasing quickly making a dense clump which can be divided. Your friends will expect you to be gracious unless you come up with a plausible excuse.
RBG Kew and us are gonna have some words! How dare they merge Rosa mulliganii into another species? This was named to honor beloved Seattle icon, Brian Mulligan, who was Director of Washington Park Arboretum for 27 years. Very vigorous beautiful rose with fragrant white flowers and blood-red hips. And the foliage turns autumnal colors of yellow and red as well. Be aware that you are loosing The Beast as this really needs A Lot of room and is displayed to its fullest most awesome glory when given large trees such as our Douglas Fir to climb upon.
A very uncommon plant in North America - we have not seen it listed elsewhere - and one we brought across the pond from the lamentably late Michael Wickenden of Cally Gardens in Scotland. This is a much smaller version of this cold hardy species with dense low foliage of nicely deeply lobed leaves. The leaves take on fall color before dormancy and the early spring white flowers are welcome indeed if they escape being frosted.
Extremely rare offering of this NW Argentina-SE Bolivia version of the Chilean Crinodendron patagua. This large shrub to small 20'-30' multi-trunked tree has evergreen leaves and small white bell flowers. Quite fast growing and is one of the primary species in the Podocarpus parlatorei forests. Hardiness is unknown but C. patagua has frozen solid here in a gallon pot at 17F, defoliated, and grew away in the spring like nothing happened. Hopefully another similarity these two species have in common. A Far Reaches Botanical Conservancy Offering
Purple flowered version of the typically blue-flowered European species. Thanks to our friend and Hepatica guru John Massey of Ashwood Nurseries for sharing seed. We have flowered these plants and they are indeed purple! Perfect in the woodland garden, very hardy and with impeccable provenance.
Star light star bright, First primrose I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, Have this primrose I wish tonight. Nothing subliminal here. The five petals are shaped like a heart and are love-pink on the reverse while the face of the flower is white feathering to pink on the edges. Good, big flowers in quantity on each stem puts on a show.
Redwood ivy. Vigorous carpeter in optimal conditions with evergreen foliage which bronzes up in winter. The tiny white flower motes benefit from profusion and the fact that they are the smallest in the genus is offset by this species having the best foliage which is what you have 95% of the year. Our collection from California near Orleans where it was growing with Asarum marmoratum.
aka Schizostylis. An outstanding introduction by our friend Urs at Edelweiss Nursery. Compared to the cultivar 'Oregon Sunset', this has wider more rounded petals, is a shade or two darker colored and is significantly larger in flower. This is quite new to the market and is a great shot of color for the Fall garden. Very easy.
Chinese May Apple. This is an impressive plant - truly one to give the shade garden some visual impact. Big leaves get up to 18" across with bizarre clusters of red flowers held beneath which are followed by bunches of green cherry tomato-like fruit ripening soft yellow.. Rich moist soil in shade to bits of sun.
Newer selection of this small clumping South African bulb which has intense deep red-pink flowers. This is the perfect rock garden plant needing moisture while in growth and good drainage especially in winter when it is dormant.
