A fine variegated selection originating at Cally Gardens in Scotland and given to us by the late Michael Wickenden who named it. Michael was a plantsman of the keenest sort and he is sorely missed. Good clean cream margins on the young leaves which turns white as the foliage matures. The variegation plays well with the red flowers atop the two foot stems. We reckon this is the first introduction of this choice plant to the US.

From the cloud forests of Panama and South America where it grows on trees in accumulations of decomposed debris in crotches. Finally, an upside to crotch debris! Essentially a neotropical blueberry, this had been placed in Vaccinium a time or two. Small white to pinkish flowers with similar colored edible fruit. Frost sensitive, great plant where that is not concern. Otherwise, this will be a fantastic hanging basket that can be overwintered in sunroom or greenhouse.

Unit price perBomareas make our head spin, in good and bad ways. I was pleased to find out recently that we aren't the only ones, apparently the non-twiners sometimes twine, and the number of flowers vary widely, as do the color patterns. So basically don't worry too much about keying this one out, instead sit back and enjoy the twirling petioles and tropical colored flowers at face value. This is another in a series of mystery Bomareas we received from friend Chen Hao, it's hard to pick a favorite! With the mystery comes mystery hardiness so please trial it for us, what we can say is full sun and a bit of moisture are welcome companions.

An uncommon New World subtropical blueberry relative native to the Andes. Can be epiphytic and has hanging thin branches up to 5' long but usually shorter with rounded pale green leaves. Just looks like it wants to be on a dipping cliff by a waterfall. Egg-shaped flowers that are white-pink with darker tips followed by translucent violet-tinged edible berries much like Agapetes. No frost. Way nifty.

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

This little bulbous jewel from South America takes a back seat to no bulb. A bantamweight in size but this flowers at a weight class much higher. A perfect bun of green foliage with lots of flowers whose pale pink chases dark feathers down to the white center. Gritty and drainage. Trough or rock garden.

Extraordinary southern hemisphere heather relative and one we observed in all of its alpine glory in the mountains of Patagonia (see photo) while on the Far Reaches Botanical Conservancy plant tour January 2024. Growing clear south to Cape Horn, this forms a low mat with insignificant flowers but very significant red fruit if you have a female plant as this is a dioecious species with plants being either male or female but both are needed for fruit. The plants we offer are cutting-grown from a single clone whose sex it has not yet shared with us Once it does, we will work on getting the opposite sex going! Fruit is gorgeous and edible. This is plant for cooler climates and not for warm humidity.

This petite Patagonian evergreen fern would make a lovely groundcover if planted in mass. Alternatively it plays nicely with crevices and can be a delight in a small easily seen location. Tightly spaced, glossy, pinnate sterile fronds grow to only about 5" and splay low to the ground while the more alien spore-bearing fertile fronds stand central and upright.

Fine South American evergreen shrub to 20" or more when grown richly or half that grown rock garden lean. Wiry red stems bristle with small stiff leaves that pair well to the plentiful small white bells and reddish fruit later. From Simon Bond in England who had some obscure treasures when we visited his Thuja Alpine Nursery.

This Central American epiphytic blueberry relative calls the cloud forests home and enjoys cool conditions with no frost. Brilliant red new growth, tubular soft red flowers with red calyces followed by darkly intriguing fruit. Will develop a caudiform lignotuber in time. This is a visual feast for months on end.

A South American Blue-Eyed Grass but since this has white flowers, would it be a White-Eyed Grass? Why not? We received our original starts of this from a keen Cape Cod plantsman and it definitely has merit. The foliage is fine and of a densely grassy habit of an invited fresh Spring green. Numerous white starry flowers.

A superb Argentine & Chilean shrub to small tree for the mildest of gardens. There are ridiculously mild gardens around here that can grow this and it is a ceaseless lament that ours is too cold for this fantastic plant. Related to Embothrium or Chilean Fire Tree, this has intricate flowers of yellow and red but the Silk Oak-like foliage outshines the bloom. Has the Proteaceae dislike of phosphorous. Very few.

Formerly in the genus Cheilanthes, this dryland fern is found in Mexico, Central America and Argentina and just recently, one site in Brazil. Evergraygreen fronds of fine texture are densely vertical on this smaller fern. Perfect candidate for the rock garden or container for milder gardens - doing well at Berkeley Botanic Garden for example. Thanks to the Fern Madam Judith Jones of Fancy Fronds Nursery for sharing spore.

Unit price perFabulous 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.

Rare and choice goody that Jim Fox brought back to us from England. Surprisingly hardy, this shocks in a genus full of yellows and whites by having screaming hot pink daisies in summer. Don't plant it with the red Dahlia 'Bishop of Llandaff' like we did - a memorable combo for garish bad color combinations that still sends me bolt upright in bed. We can only paraphrase Bob Brown's perfect description as the plant did come from his nursery "The color reminds me of an Indian brothel. Not that I would know," We mulch ours in winter just to be on the safe side which is easy as it is dormant.

Kelly acquired this tuberous species in the late 1980's, an almost inconceivably distant time when correspondence was cursive and timepieces had hands. A request for seeds of this species was sent after receiving the Index Seminum (seed list) from the legendary English plantsman, Harry Hay, with the memorable address of Margery Hall Pig Farm. The resultant plants have survived nobly over the intervening 30-odd years which was no small achievement given that some of those years were odd indeed. From round tubers arise thin vines wanting to climb with green leaves comprised as expected of 5 leaflets narrow pink flowers whose yellowish inner face is stippled in red. An bonus are the deep blue pearls of seeds. Good drainage, especially in winter and quite easy in pot culture, overwintered inside.

One of those dramatic ferns which cannot help itself from stealing the spotlight. This spreading Chilean relative to our Deer Fern loves a rich, moist spot where it makes a colony displaying its awesome-by-anyone's-definition leaves. Leaves, which in the endless buffet of nutrient-laden compost and with ample water, can reach 4'-5' tall. Evergreen except in hard winters.

A collection by Shayne Chandler in Ecuador of this shrubby evergreen species as Baccharis buxifolia except its folia is not buxus-like in that the leaf margins are serrate and not smoothly entire. We've not flowered this and honestly, are quite pleased it is not buxifolia as that is a bit of a yawn ornamentally. The leaves of this look close to Baccharis arbutifolia which is much more ornamental with raspberry-colored flowers accented by white stamens which would be a Siren's song to a seed collector. Deer resistant.

This hails from the mild Crinodendron tucumanum/Podocarpus parlatorei cloud forests of northern Argentina. It thrives as an understory plant and competes well in the tangle of rampant growth clothing shaded banks along the road. Pendulous bright red clusters of long flowers give way to edible-if-the-fruit-stand-is-closed fruits.

Tender South American shrubby succulent making a 3'x4' mound of thin stems with small fleshy leaves Flowers unknown and we are perfectly willing to accept that this might well be a different genus entirely! Pairs well with cactus, bromeliads and xeric shrubs. Let us know what it looks like when it flowers! A Far Reaches Botanical Conservancy Offering.
