Oregon White Oak. This variety of Q. garryana hugs the foothills of the western Sierra Nevada and southern Oregon. In its native poor, rocky soils this becomes a multi-stemmed shrub or small tree to 20 ft. Deciduous and drought tolerant. Another excellent Oak we're able to offer thanks to Ian Barclay of The Desert Northwest.

Miniature Joint Fir. Choice species from the bleak areas of the "stans" - Afghan, Uzbek, Kazak, Krygh, Paki and Tajikistan. This primitive Conifer relative likes it rough - just good drainage and a hot, sunny dry spot are it's simple wants although it does enjoy the good life and wouldn't turn down a wee drink and a bit to eat. It has been quite adaptable to our regular irrigation in the nursery. In the garden this will slowly creep with more leafless thin green stems which look like a miniature Equisetum until they become bejeweled with red fruit-like cones in mid to late summer. Probably tolerant of more alkaline conditions as well. This does great in the Denver Botanic Garden.

There's no telling how long this Agapetes spends on its makeup each morning but what is for sure is that its eyeliner is decidedly on point. Whereas the usual species features overt rouge that often fades with age, the clasping parts of the flowers here are delicately outlined in a deep red resulting in a suave toupee or fancy hat for the striking yellow corolla. A Steve Hootman collection of this stunning Himalayan blueberry relative from Arunachal Pradesh, and the winner of our 2024 Rare Plant Rumble.

These woodland delights are one of our favorites, so much so that they have a whole house dedicated to their culture! This sooooo-cute form really has it all, a lovely blush pink multiplied by an unusually high number of petals just gets even more barbie-ified by bright pink anthers, and then it all gets wrapped in the bow of well-marked leaves, swoon-worthy in the extreme.

This form features larger than usual purple flowers with a pale to white center which bleeds into the petals for a tie-dye effect, pretty radical dude. 

These serve a lot of great purposes in a Kniphofia collection or general plant collection with structural grass-like foliage and bright impactful late-season flowers which ascend lance-like in late summer to fall when most of it's flaming brethren have have lowered their spears, which also means extra nectar supply in the lean season for your pollinator population. In addition to being a late bloomer the species is relatively dwarf and offer nicely gradient-ed orangey yellow flowers. Good intro poker before getting into the more unwieldy but epic larger species.
