This is one of those plants you can just feel good about planting, endemic to Idaho and vulnerable in its natural habitat, now is certainly a good time to bolster its ex-situ presence! Plus its a great pollinator plants and pretty cute to boot. Stalks of pretty pale purple flowers and nicely feathered leaves. Great addition to the pollinator meadows that are so rightfully vogue right now. Not commonly cultivated so may be hardy past what we are recommending here
A fast-growing collection from the second-tallest mountain in Vietnam. Schima is in the Theaceae or Camellia family and is widespread in Asia. The small white flowers are most attractive and this species has very good foliage. Not seen in flower and hardiness is unknown, typical of new introductions. These were grown from cutting from a plant selected for its excellent red to salmon new growth. A Far Reaches Botanical Conservancy offering. Some species can become towering old-growth trees such as we have seen in southern Yunnan but this was just a youngster at 25'.
The promise and potential of a fat unripened bud, many times we have fallen prey to the relentless teasing of flowers which appear JUST ABOUT TO OPEN for days or weeks on end. Well, you might just keep waiting on this one, but really that's not too bad a thing when it comes to Magnolia flowers. Personally I find the globe or chalice stage of magnolia flowers to often be the choicest moment. This species takes that to a high art, with large orbs of white brushed with purple, which in the rare instances they do open, reveal luciously white tepals centered by a circle of blood-red stamens. Plus the tree itself is nothing to turn your nose at, attractive large evergreen leaves and suprisingly hardy given it's Northern Vietnamese heritage. Forms a large shrub to small tree but fast growing, and however reticent to flower in full, these are known to flower at a relatively young age. So at least you won't be kept waiting to be kept waiting for too long.
