030-004     Echinacea purpurea 'White Swan'  
Sun     Zones 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 White flowers
Echinacea purpurea 'White Swan' is shorter, more compact than the other cone flowers we sell. Very generous with its four-inch white flowers with orange brown central disks. Be sure to check out the lovely fragrance. A terrific addition to the sunny border. A Great Plant Picks selection.  Summer. bloom   2 ft. x 2 ft. 2 ft.

356-001D4     Echinops ritro     ( Small globe thistle )
Sun     Zones 3,4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Blue flowers
For those gardeners who like big, bold plants with dramatic foliage, Echinops ritro fits the bill. Rising to an impressive height with spiny, deeply cut gray green leaves measuring up to nine inches long, there are few other herbaceous perennials that can match it in scale. But this globe thistle is also for those who love to attract wildlife. There is always a great chorus of bees and other pollinators hovering over the 2-inch spiky, globe-shaped flower heads in the summer.  July and August. bloom   5 ft. x 3 ft.

356-005D4     Echinops sphaerocephalus 'Arctic Glow'  
Sun     Zones 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Silver Gray flowers
Echinops sphaerocephalus `Arctic Glow' is a towering thistle with delightful persistent globular flower heads of silvery gray. The large, jagged basal foliage is gray green.  Summer. bloom   6 ft. x 3 ft.

602-001D4     Elaeagnus pungens 'Maculata'     ( Variegated Silverberry )
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 7, 8, 9 White flowers
Japan. It is the foliage of this selection that catches the eye first. The four-inch long, leathery leaves are glossy. They have golden yellow centers outlined dramatically in dark and light green. This pattern is variable with green streaks in the yellow and the margins varying in width. The undersides of the leaves are ghostly in appearance due to a layer of fine white hairs. Attractive reddish stems complement the foliage. There are thorn-like structures at many of the leaf-axils but they have never hurt us. The big surprise is the waxy flowers which are hidden in the foliage. When they open, they perfume the air with sweetness. You must be out in the garden in the autumn to enjoy them. At our own nursery, we grow this mid-sized evergreen shrub on a fairly dry hillside which is open to the sun most of the day. It has thrived there and makes a lovely backdrop to its neighboring plants.  Autumn. bloom   8 ft. x 8 ft.

602-004D4     Eleagnus ebbingei 'Gilt Edge' (x)  
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 7, 8, 9, 10 Cream flowers
The most visible feature of Eleagnus x ebbingei 'Gilt Edge' is its dramatic, evergreen leaves which are dark green margined in gold. What is not so evident are its flowers that hide under the leaves and are rarely visible. Even if they are out of sight, they are not out of mind because they produce a delicious fragrance that perfumes the autumn garden. This older European hybrid, a cross between E. macrophylla and E. pungens reflexa, is fairly new to the trade in North America. We use it as a background plant but treasure it most in the winter when its leathery leaves seem to be at their most glowing.  October. bloom   10 ft. x 10 ft.

570-002D4     Eleutherococcus sieboldianus 'Variegatus'  
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Green White flowers
For many years, this shrub was known to us as Acanthopanax. It has taken a while to get used to saying Eleutherococcus sieboldianus 'Variegatus'. Hopefully the name will not deter customers from buying this attractive Japanese shrub. Because it is deciduous, it is easy to see its densely branched shape in winter. The stippled branches are both arching and upright. It is also possible to see the short thorns at the base of each dormant leaf bud. All of this becomes invisible in the spring when the leaves begin to grow. Even though the cream variegation is irregular on the mid-green leaves, the overall effect is a sense of balance between green and white. The small star-shaped flowers are solitary and give rise to small black fruits later in the summer.  Late spring. bloom   11 ft. x 8-9 ft.

940-001D4     Embothrium coccineum     ( Chilean fire bush )
Part Shade     Zones 7, 8, 9 Scarlet flowers
We were once reluctant to grow this tree in our garden because we had heard it was not winter hardy in the Pacific Northwest. Our friend Roger Gossler of Gossler Nursery Farms encouraged us to try it. We are glad we did. This particular selection of Embothrium coccineum has been slower to grow than the other two we have tried. Now, after eight years in the garden, it stands less than ten feet. Size, however, has not prevented it from putting on an amazing show. Racemes of brilliant tubular flowers set the garden ablaze. When it is not in bloom, the narrow, lance-shaped, mid-green foliage creates a nice back-drop for surrounding perennials. We planted this evergreen tree in a protected site to keep it safe from drying winter winds and to give it shade from the hottest sun..  May, June. bloom   30 ft. x 15 ft.

940-003D4     Embothrium coccineum 'Norquinco Valley'     ( Chilean flame bush )
Part Shade     Zones 8, 9, 10, 11 Scarlet flowers
Embothrium coccineum 'Norquinco Valley' is said to be among the hardiest selections of Chilean flame bush. It comes from a river valley which begins in the interior of southern Argentina. We have grown it now for about six years and our specimen came through a week of single digit temperatures in early December with no loss. Our specimen is about six feet tall and only a few feet wide. The dense clusters of brilliant, waxy flowers really do excite visitors to our garden. The evergreen, narrowly lance-shaped leaves measure 5 inches in length.  Late spring and early summer. bloom   30 ft. x 15 ft.

940-003-1     Embothrium coccineum 'Norquinco Valley'     ( Chilean flame bush )

663-002-1     Enkianthus campanulatus     ( Redvein enkianthus )
Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8 Creamy Yellow flowers
Best grown in an open woodland setting, these slow-growing, deciduous shrubs are most often celebrated for their colorful autumn foliage which echoes Japanese maples in the brilliance of their orange and red leaves. Enkianthus campanulatus has many other charms as well, not the least of which are its clusters of small, rounded bell-shaped flowers which are delicately veined in red. These give way to green fruits that darken with age. In addition, the rounded, somewhat lance-shaped leaves are matte green and appear in a whorled pattern on the branches, a pleasing composition. Because it blooms on the previous year's wood, if you must prune, do so immediately after flowering.  May to June. bloom   6-10 ft. x 4-6 ft.

322-038Qt     Epimedium 'After Midnight' (Reeck)     ( Barrenwort, Bishops hat )
Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8 White flowers
Introduced by Diana Reeck of Collector's Nursery. For some reason the early leaves of this epimedium remind us more of the jazz standard ''Round Midnight" than 'After Midnight'. This is because those leaves are encircled with a broad band of near black color. Needless to say, they are very attractive. As they mature, they lose that band of black and turn a uniform green. The fairly large white flowers have both white sepals and corollas. This clumping, deciduous perennial is easy to grow. We grow ours in a woodland setting with ferns, lamiums and cyclamens at the base of taller shrubs.  Spring. bloom   8-12 in. x 8-12 in.

322-024     Epimedium 'Black Sea'  
Part Shade, Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Pink/Pale Yellow flowers
When we first planted Epimedium 'Black Sea', we wondered how it got its name. It wasn't until the autumn of that year that we began to understand as the evergreen leaves changed from glossy blue green to purple black. This is a dramatic change. The winter foliage holds so attractively on its red stems that we hesitate to cut it back in February when we know we should to allow the flowering stems and then the new foliage to emerge. We wish that we could delay the cut-back because the pale flowers would look lovely against that dark foliage. If only! But then we see the airy flower stems bearing their small, delicate flowers of soft yellow inner sepals topped with pinkish outer sepals and we find yet another pleasure in this sturdy groundcover.  April. bloom   16 in. x spreading

322-004Qt     Epimedium cantabrigense     ( Barrenwort, Bishops hat )
Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Pinkish Beige/ Yellow flowers
Epimedium x cantabrigense: (Epimedium alpinum x E. pubigerum) This evergreen groundcover is named for the city of Cambridge, England, where it was found in the garden of St. John's College. The flowering stems can reach 2 feet with flowers of pinkish sepals and yellow nectaries.  Spring. bloom   2 ft. x indefinite

322-042QT     Epimedium davidii  
Shade, Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Yellow flowers
We have grown this more than a decade in our garden and have always enjoyed its compact habit and the small, somewhat glossy, cordate foliage. The leaves are serrated along their edges with what look like tiny spines. In the sping, flowering stems bear up to 24 yellow flowers on short stems. This is short in stature and easy to accommodate in any garden. Epimedium davidii hales from the western Sichuan area of China.  Midspring to early summer bloom   12 in. x 18 in.

322-052     Epimedium grandiflorum 'First Kiss'     ( Barrenwort )
Shade, Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8 Rosy Lavender and White flowers
The flowers of 'First Kiss' are relatively large and showy with the richly colored sepals dramatically extending spider-like over the white and pink petals. In addition, the dark red flower stems and the halo of red on the margins of the young leaves are ideal complements. Epimedium grandiflorums are herbaceous, the leaves die back in winter and new growth emerges with the flower stems in spring.  Spring. bloom   12 in. x 18 in.

322-015     Epimedium grandiflorum 'Lilafee'     ( Barrenwort, Bishops hat )
Shade, Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8 Lilac Purple flowers
Epimedium grandiflorum 'Lilafee' is often sold as 'Lilac Fairy' which is its translation. That name gives the gardener a good image of the appearance of the delicate long-spurred flowers which are held above the foliage. We cut the old foilage back in mid-winter to allow a clear view of the flowers and of the attractive unfurling of the new foliage which is tinged maroon. As they age, the leaves turn green but they do take on lovely coppery tints in the autumn. True to the specific name, the leaves of this selection are fairly large, measuring about 3 inches in length.  Spring. bloom   10-15 In. x 24 in.

322-029     Epimedium grandiflorum 'Nanum'     ( Barrenwort, Bishops hat )
Shade, Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8 White flowers
Epimedium grandiflorum 'Nanum' is a dwarf form of the species. A fine, low, clumping, deciduous groundcover.  Spring. bloom   3 in. x 8 in.

322-054     Epimedium grandiflorum 'Yellow Princess'     ( Barrenwort )
Shade, Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8 Cream and Soft Yellow flowers
Creamy sepals arch over the soft yellow petals of the showy flowers. The bronze edge of the new foliage and bronze flower stems show off the beauty of the charming blooms. Epimedium grandiflorums are herbaceous, the leaves die back in winter and new growth emerges with the flower stems in spring.  Spring. bloom   16 in. x 24 in.

322-058     Epimedium koreanum 'Harold Epstein'     ( Bishops cap, Barrenwort )
Shade, Part Shade     Zones 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Soft Yellow flowers
Our research reveals that this was named by Seattle area plantsman Jerry Flintoff to honor the late Harold Epstein, who, among a list of accomplishments, was the long-serving president of the American Rock Garden Society and who was an avid collector of Epimediums. This slowly spreading groundcover is excellent for larger areas in need of a showy display. What makes Epimedium 'Harold Epstein' showy is not only the large flowers which appear before the new foliage unfurls. It is also the very large leaves measuring a half-foot-long and about 4-inches wide that really make a statement. In addition, the new leaf-stems are red.  Early Spring. bloom   15 in. x Increase slowly.

322-023     Epimedium leptorrhizum     ( Barrenwort )
Shade, Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Pink flowers
It is curious that the species name of Epimedium leptorrhizum refers to its slender rhizomes, which are more or less invisible, and not to its showy flowers or its dramatic foliage. Originally collected in 1898 and not fully described until 1933, it was only after its recent reintroduction by the great botanist Mikinori Ogisu that this epimedium entered into the trade. The thick evergreen leaves are narrow coming to a sharp tip. Their margins are spiny and they are deeply veined. The young foliage is bronze against red leaf stems but the leaves turn green as they mature. Showy, inch-and-a-half flowers are white flushed with pink.  Midspring to early summer. bloom   5-12 in. x 18 in.

322-048     Epimedium lishihchenii     ( Barrenwort )
Shade, Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8 Yellow flowers
The large, bold foliage measures up to seven inches in length. Bold veining gives the leaves a textural quality that gives this epimedium a rugged presence in the garden. The flowers are relatively large dangling spider-like amongst and above the foliage.  Spring. bloom   18 in. x 24 in.

322-059QT     Epimedium omeiense (x)  
Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8 White/Pink flowers
This surprisingly vigorous Barrenwort is the result of a cross between E. acuminatum and E. fangii. Long, arrow-shaped leaves have lightly spiney edges. In the spring they are colorfully mottled in red-brown. The flowering stems are at least two feet in height and can carry up to fifty two-inch flowers. Because Epimedium x omiense is evergreen, it promises all-season interest.  Spring. bloom   18 in. x 2 ft.

322-035Qt     Epimedium pauciflorum     ( Barrenwort, Bishops hat )
Part Shade, Shade     Zones 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 White flowers
Epimedium pauciflorum has small, very thick, dark green leaves that are spiny along their margins. Although for the most part they are not visible, their undersides are an attractive blue green. In spring, scapes of 3 to 5 delicate white flowers rise up above the foliage.  Spring. bloom   6 in. x 12 in.

322-016     Epimedium pinnatum ssp. colchicum     ( Barrenwort, Bishops hat )
Shade, Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Beige/Coral/Yellow flowers
Epimedium pinnatum ssp. Colchicum is a slow-spreading, evergreen groundcover with rounded leaves. Flowers are pale beige with coral sepals and yellow corollas. Young foliage has a blush of red brown.  Spring. bloom   12 in. x 10 in.

322-017     Epimedium pubigerum     ( Barrenwort, Bishops hat )
Shade, Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Whitish flowers
Epimedium pubigerum is a clumping, evergreen groundcover with bronzed young foliage. Tiny white flowers with a faint hint of pink.  Spring. bloom   18 in. x 18 in.

322-005     Epimedium rubrum     ( Barrenwort, Bishops hat )
Shade, Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Red, Yellow flowers
Epimedium x rubrum is a compact, evergreen mounder. The new leaves emerge stained red and age to green. In fall they turn ruddy. The flowers are red and pale yellow. A Great Plant Picks selection.  Spring. bloom   12 in. x 12 in.

322-040Qt     Epimedium rubrum 'Sweetheart' (x)     ( Barrenwort )
Shade, Part Shade     Zones 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Rich Rose Pink flowers
(This is a cross between E. alpinum and E. grandiflorum.) The dramatically large foliage is rimmed in dark brown red in the spring and turns uniformly green in summer. Sprays of small flowers have bright rosy-pink sepals. Looking in the interior of a flower you see that the sepals display a cross in candy-cane colors. This is an excellent grower with great vigor and beauty.  Spring. bloom   16 in. x 24 in.

322-030     Epimedium versicolor 'Neosulfureum'     ( Barrenwort, Bishops hat )
Shade, Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Light Yellow flowers
Epimedium x versicolor 'Neosulfureum' is an evergreen and clumping ground cover that tolerates dry, deciduous shade very well. The leaves are composed of 3 to 9 leaflets. Cut them back at the end of winter to make way for the pale yellow spurred flowers followed by lightly bronzed new foliage. Very similar to 'Sulfureum' except the flowers are paler and have shorter spurs. A Great Plant Picks selection.  Spring. bloom   1 ft. x 3 ft.

322-006-1     Epimedium versicolor 'Sulfureum'     ( Barrenwort, Bishops hat )
Shade, Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Light Yellow flowers
Epimedium x versicolor 'Sulfureum' is a vigorous grower that is suitable for mass planting as a ground cover. Light yellow flowers.  Spring. bloom   1 ft. x 3 ft.

322-044-1     Epimedium wushanense 'Spiny Leaf Form'  
Shade, Part Shade     Zones 5,6,7,8,9 Soft Yellow flowers
We acquired our plant of Epimedium wushanense 'Spiny Leaf Form' from Diana Reeck at Collector's Nursery. The scale of this Epimedium is different from most of the forms we grow. It is a big plant, with big glossy leaves that are edged with dramatic spines. It is evergreen, but the spring brings a new set of leaves that are uniformly dark bronze when young but later turn green mottled with bronze and then green. The flower spikes are impressive as well - tall flowering stems laden with pale yellow flowers that are large by Epimedium standards. Because it is not a rapid grower, It has taken time to for us to bulk up our stock to offer this for sale.  Spring. bloom   12-15 in. x 30 in.

322-060Qt     Epimedium x versicolor 'Cherry Tart'  
Sun, Part Shade, Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8 Pink, Cherry Red flowers
This is believed to be a cross between E. grandiflora and E. pinnatum subsp. colchicum which was found in 1999 in the garden of Judy Springer of Virginia. The pink sepals are accented by recurving red spurs which in turn are tipped with a yellow cup. The new foliage of Epimedium x versicolor 'Cherry Tart' emerges burgundy before it turns green. In the autumn, the leaves take on burgundy tones again.  Early spring. bloom   12 in. x spreading

322-053     Epimedium youngianum 'Freckles' (x)     ( Barrenwort )
Shade, Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8 White and Lavender Pink flowers
(Epimedium x youngianum is a cross between E. diphyllum and E. grandiflorum.) The spring foliage of this selection has remarkable purple brown flecking and staining which diminishes as the foliage ages. Dainty white and pale lavender flowers dangle in multi-flowered sprays above the attractive leaves.  Spring. bloom   10 in. x 20 in.

322-056     Epimedium youngianum 'Jenny Wren' (x)  
Shade, Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8 Light Lavender Pink flowers
Epimedium x youngianum 'Jenny Wren' was found in the garden of John Marchacos of Berlin, CT. It is as charming as its name. Because it is deciduous, we remove the old foliage at the end of winter which allows us to see the leaves and flowers as they emerge. The new foliage although somewhat small is mottled in burgundy, a coloration that remains throughout the season. The relatively large flowers open on scapes that rise above the foliage. Their soft color suits the foliage perfectly. 'Jenny Wren' is a clumper and is easy to accommodate in any garden.  April, May. bloom   12-15 in. x 12-15 in.

322-011QT     Epimedium youngianum 'Niveum'     ( Barrenwort, Bishops hat )
Part Shade, Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 White flowers
(A cross between E. diphyllum and E. grandiflorum.) Epimedium x youngianum 'Niveum' is a diminutive treasure for a woodland garden. This is a small, clumping selection with blunt-tipped leaves. The flower stems rise above the foliage bearing white flowers that can be both spurred and spurless.  May to June. bloom   8 in. x 12 in.

322-050     Epimedium youngianum 'Star Cluster' (x)  
Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 White flowers
Our thanks go to Diana Reeck from Collector's Nursery in Battle Ground, WA, for her selection Epimedium x yougianum 'Star Cluster.' Diana made this selection with the help of her friends Judith Jones of Fancy Fronds Nursery and Vanca Lumsden of Albe Rustic Furniture. Together they reviewed Diana's trial beds of seedling epimediums and this was the plant they all three returned to as their favorite. The name 'Star Cluster' suggests white flowers on a dark background. This is true. What the name doesn't describe is the beauty of the white flowers with their extra-long spurs or the richness of the dark chocolate spring foliage. The leaves green up as the spring progresses. (Thanks to Diana Reeck for use of her photo.)  Spring. bloom   12 in. x 12 in.

322-008     Epimedium youngianum 'Yenomoto' (x)     ( Barrenwort )
Shade, Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 White flowers

726-001     Epipactis gigantea  
Part Shade     Zones 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Beige Green flowers
This unique orchid is easy to grow in a woodland garden. The upper and lower lobes of the small flowers of Epipactis gigantea are veined burgundy, while the lateral lobes are a beige green. It is very free flowering. Our small plant grew 8 inches tall and 30 inches wide in four years.  May to July. bloom   16 in. x 30-60 in.

167-015     Erigeron caespitosus     ( Fleabane )
Sun     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8 Blue Violet flowers
Erigeron caespitosus was collected by Ron Ratko at high elevations in the Henry Mountains of Utah. Ron calls this a dwarf form of the wide-ranging species but as often happens when these plants are grown at lower elevations, they do get larger than described. Low tufts of narrow dark green foliage send up short bloom spikes each bearing a single large rayed flower. For rockeries and troughs.  Mid- to late summer. bloom   3 in. x 8 in.

167-011     Erigeron howellii     ( Howell's daisy )
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8 White flowers
We thank Christine Ibrahimi for sharing seed from her garden of this rare Oregon native. Found only in the Columbia River Gorge between Angel's Rest on the Oregon side and Wind Mountain on the Washington side, Erigeron howellii grows in moist, rocky areas from 200 to 4000 feet in elevation. Its shiny, rounded basal leaves extend on long petioles. The foliage on the flowering stems is more linear. Each stem holds a single large white daisy with a golden central disk.  May, June. bloom   8-20 in. x 20 in.

167-004     Erigeron karvinskianus 'Profusion'  
Sun     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8 White/Pink flowers
Erigeron karvinskianus 'Profusion' is a spreading perennial with hairy gray green leaves and countless small white daisies with pink reverses. Because of the length of its bloom period, this is a great plant for a container in a sunny location.  June to October. bloom   6-9 in. x 3 ft.

167-014     Erigeron speciosus     ( Fleabane )
Sun     Zones 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Lavender Blue flowers
This clump-forming perennial is one of our Northwest native plants. Although it is somewhat lax-of-habit in our garden, it is never a thug. It rewards us with months of cheerful, two-inch ray flowers of lavender with contrasting yellow centers. The broadly lance-shaped leaves of Erigeron speciosus measure six-inches in length.  Summer to early autumn. bloom   24 in. x 24 in.

334-033     Eriogonum compositum     ( Buckwheat )
Sun     Zones 7, 8, 9 Sulphur Yellow flowers
In our rockery Eriogonum compositum has formed an impressive evergreen mound about 2.5 feet across. It has shaped itself attractively around some larger boulders. The leathery blue gray leaves take on rosy, even red, tones in the late fall and early winter. In spring the bloom spikes rise to 8 inches. This is a native of the east end of our Columbia River Gorge.  Spring. bloom   5 in. x 2 ft.

344-033     Eriogonum compositum (Form 2)  
Sun     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8 Yellow flowers
We have grown this amazing spreading Pacific Northwest shrub in our rockery for more than 10 years. Eriogonum compositum (Form 2) forms a dense evergreen mound covering the gravel and creeping between boulders. In winter, the foliage takes on red highlights. Give this sharp drainage and little summer water. This particular form has gray green foliage.  Spring. bloom   2-3 in. x 2 ft.

344-056D4     Eriogonum crocatum     ( Saffron buckwheat )
Sun     Zones 8, 9, 10 Yellow flowers
We have tried many buckwheats at our nursery and have had the best success in a rockery or gravel bed. That is where we grow Eriogonum crocatum which is said to grow in crags and rock formations in clay soil. It is endemic to Ventura County, CA, and we did not expect it to survive our wet and cold winters but it has surprised us. Although it has not reached the size it might in a warmer, sunnier climate, its woolly, silvery white foliage looks dramatic year-round, but especially in contrast to our gray winter skies. Like those of many of the buckwheats, its yellow flowers are attractive to bees and buterflies. They appear in flattened clusters about two or so inches wide and dry to an attractive shade of red brown.  Late spring to early summer. bloom   1.5 ft. x 2-3 ft.

344-044     Eriogonum umbellatum var. porteri     ( Porter's sulfur flower )
Sun     Zones 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Yellow flowers
We have long been fascinated by the Genus Eriogonum, commonly known as Buckwheats. These sub-shrubs are endemic to North America and often grow in areas with little rainfall. Of the many Buckwheats that we have grown, Eriogonum umbellatum var. porteri has proven to be one of the easiest for the home gardener. This small diminutive, evergreen shrub forms a tight rosette of glossy dark green leaves. The form we sell comes from high elevation mountainous areas in Beaver County, Utah. In the summer, umbels of small yellow flowers rise on short flowering stems. As the flowers mature they turn red brown.  July to September. bloom   4 in.. x 12 in.

They turn burgundy again just as the amazing inflorescences begin to develop. Rising on 30-inch stems, the racemes are made up of pink, star-shaped flowers. The raceme is topped with a crown which makes it look like a pineapple and thus the common name pineapple lily came to be. The glossy strap leaves continue to look attractive into the fall, long after the flowers have given way to beadlike fruits.  July, August. bloom   3 ft. x 3 ft.

675-002D4     Fothergilla 'Mount Airy'  
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 5, 6, 7, 8. 9 White flowers
Well-known plantsman Michael Dirr made this selection of Fothergilla at Mt. Airy Arboretum in Cincinnati, Ohio. He found this trial plant to have good vigor and to be strongly upright. Also, he was attracted to its dark green leaves during the growing season and the manner in which they transformed in the autumn with a consistant display of orange, yellow and red. In addition, Dr. Dirr noted the abundance of flowers on its branches. And so, it was named to honor the place where it was found. In our garden, after twenty years, Fothergilla 'Mt. Airy' has attained a height of over 6 ft. It puts on a splendid show each year. For best results, we recommend that you plant it in part shade with lightly acid soil and be patient.  Spring. bloom   3 ft. x 3 ft.

522-002     Fragaria 'Lipstick'  
Sun     Zones 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Deep Rose Red flowers
This groundcover is the result of an interesting cross between a strawberry (Fragaria) and a cinquefoil (Potentilla). In habit, it is more strawberry than cinquefoil. As the name Fragaria 'Lipstick' suggests, both the flowers and the fruits of this plant are bright, the flowers being rose-red and the fruits truly lipstick red. The plant spreads by stolons, just like a wild strawberry, with coarsely-toothed foliage that is an attractive shade of green. The fruits are edible but small so it's best not to expect a big crop. This is delightful draping down the side of a container or over a wall where you can enjoy the colorful display and occasionally harvest a berry.  April to October. bloom   6-8 in. x spreading

Fuchsia 'Chili Red' has surprised us. On close inspection we realized that the flowers lacked the conventional corolla so familiar to gardeners. Instead the flowers, which open slowly, consist of a red tube and red sepals. In addition, the buds are unusually elongated and are slow to open. Indeed, at first glance, they resemble red chili peppers as the name suggests. The plant is upright and compact and would be ideal in a container although we grow it in the front of a border. This is a fine addition to our hardy fuchsia collection.  Summer through autumn. bloom   12 in. x 12 in.

034-197     Fuchsia 'Dying Embers'     ( Fuchsia )
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 7, 8 Dark Red/Aubergine flowers
Although the flowers are somewhat small, they make up in number what they lack in volume. Both the tube and sepals of the flowers are a dark laquered red, an ideal color to blend with the dark aubergine of the corolla. The suffusion of purple in the leaves and the red in their stems echo the the colors of the flowers.  Summer to fall. bloom   1.5 ft. x 1.5 ft.

We do not have much information about the development of this fuchsia. Fuchsia microphylla 'Steel 'n Stars' was apparently collected in the mountains of Central America. Its very small holly-like leaves have a silvery blue metallic cast. The flowers are equally small. The stars referred to in the name are the shape that the sepals form at the ends of their tubes. We suspect that this will have to be protected in Northwest Gardens like the other selections out of Fuchsia microphylla.

This is a beautiful, yet curious fuchsia which lives up to its name with its dramatic flowers. The early flower buds are lime green with fused red tubes. They are only a hint of what's to come. Once the buds begin to stretch, they form inch-long tubes with green and white tips. Then, when the flowers open, the white sepals have distinct lime green tips which recurve above coral orange corollas. Young buds form in upward facing sets of 2 or 3 at the leaf axils. As the buds develop into flowers, they face down and slightly away from the main stem as if anticipating the approach of a passing hummingbird. The rich, dark green foliage of Fuchsia `Neon Tricolor' is flushed scarlet when young.  Summer to frost. bloom   4-5 ft. x 3-4 ft.

034-133     Fuchsia 'Nici's Findling'

This classic fuchsia has graced gardens since 1821. It bears small-to-tiny flowers on an upright shrub. The dense branches bear small, mid-green foliage. Individual leaves are serrated along their edges. The flowers have short crimson tubes and sepals with purple corollas that have occasional streaks of pink toward their tops. Early flowers are a little larger than subsequent flowers on the stem. The small size of the foliage and flowers makes one think that the plant will be dwarf, but over time, it can become fairly large.

This is the fastest growing subspecies and is best used as a climber. The leaves of Fuchsia regia subsp. regia are lance-shaped and have a nice glossy substance. The flowers are small with red tubes, red sepals and purple corollas. We are grateful to the late Salli Dahl for giving us our specimen.  Summer to autumn. bloom   7-20 ft. x spreading

034-221     Fuchsia regia subsp. reitzii  
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 8, 9 Red/Purple flowers
Fuchsia regia forms are generally treated as climbers or sprawlers that take advantage of nearby trees and structures to clamber toward the sun. This particular subspecies was discovered and described by P.E. Berry as recently as 1989. It is not so large as the other form of F. regia we grow. And its flowers, though similar, have a neon quality to them. This form was given to us by the late Salli Dahl. It would make a fine subject tied onto a trellis or fence.  August to November. bloom   12 ft. x spreading

034-218     Fuchsia 'Remembrance'  
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 8, 9,
We are indebted to the late Salli Dahl, the former vice president of the Northwest Fuchsia Society, who gave us our first cuttings of this hardy fuchsia. We think of her generous spirit when we see Fuchsia 'Remembrance' (Gubler). The flowers on this upright shrub have rose colored tubes and sepals and semi-double, pale pink corollas with red veining. We have read that this is a sport from Fuchsia 'Edith' and was released in 1995 in England.  Summer to Autumn. bloom   4 ft. x 3-4 ft.

034-199     Fuchsia 'Roesse Blacky'     ( Fuchsia )
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 8, 9, 10 Purple Red flowers
At a quick glance, Fuchsia 'Roesse Blacky' looks like F. 'Maxima', however, 'Roesse Blacky' is even smokier in flower color and its flowers and foliage are larger. With very glossy purple red sepals which recurve to almost upright position revealing matte red undersides and very dusky, near black corolla, the flowers of Fuchsia 'Roesse Blacky' are very exotic and mysterious, and complemented by midgreen foliage which is somewhat rounded with red central veins that echo the flower.  Summer to frost. bloom   12 in. x 18 in.

034-219     Fuchsia 'Rose N Blue'     ( Fuchsia )
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 8, 9, 10 Rose/Violet Blue flowers
Fuchsia 'Rose N Blue' was introduced in 1986 and still remains a favorite among the hardy fuchsias. This is a testament to the beauty of its largish flowers and the way they are held against the dark green foliage. The rose color of the tubes and sepals nicely complements the double violet blue corollas.  Summer to autumn. bloom   24-36 in. x 24-36 in.

034-235     Fuchsia 'Roswitha'  
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 8, 9, 10 Pale Orange/Orange Red flowers
Many thanks to our friend Linda Rectinus for sharing this variegated fuchsia with us. Although it is not considered a hardy fuchsia, Linda has had good luck growing Fuchsia 'Roswitha' in her garden in the Portland area. Its soft green leaves are edged in cream with a blush of coral - a combination that really complements the pale orange flowers and brings out the startling brilliance of the red orange corollas. This is listed as an upright fuchsia but because the branches arch with the weight of their flowers it is best to think of this as a lax grower. The literature attributes this to a South African breeder named Gwen Bos in 1994. It is said to be a sport of Fuchsia 'Joan Cooper.'  Summer to fall. bloom   24 in.? x 24 in. ?

034-190     Fuchsia 'Rufus'     ( Fuchsia )
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 8, 9, 10 Red flowers
It is the size of the flowers that makes this fuchsia readily identifiable. At 2 inches long and 2.5 inches wide, they certainly draw attention to themselves. The red flower tube descends to glossy red sepals which only slightly recurve above the matte red corolla. Fuchsia `Rufus' is an open-habited, mid-sized shrub that is easy to place in the garden.  Summer to frost. bloom   28 in. x 30 in.

Medium green foliage is lightly serrated.  Summer to autumn. bloom   18-20 in. x 18 in.

034-223     Fuchsia speciosa  
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 Orange flowers
Our thanks to the Elisabeth C. Miller Botanical Garden in Seattle for providing cutting wood for this hardy fuchsia. Showy orange sepals form a tubular case around the orange corolla which just manages to peak out the bottom of the dangling flowers. They nestle above the large, rounded foliage which is very soft to the touch. The leaf petioles are stained coral to complement the flowers.  Early summer to frost. bloom   3 ft x 3 ft.

034-231     Fuchsia 'Steirerblut'  
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 8, 9, 10, 11 Dark Red flowers

Hybridized by Lorenz Ignaz and released in 2002, Fuchsia 'Steirerblut' is attractive both in and out of bloom. The dramatic young foliage is stained purple with distinct pink veining. As they age, the leaves green up slightly looking more bronze than purple. The brilliant flowers bloom in terminal clusters. Individual flowers are long and tubular with red tubes and sepals and darker red corollas.

Sun, Part Shade     Zones 8, 9, 10 Scarlet flowers
We have grown Fuchsia 'Thalia' for many years so we know it is hardy for the maritime Northwest. Its foliage is very attractive. The burgundy stems draw their color up into the undersides of the leaves and the veining on top. When the clusters of scarlet, tubular flowers open at the stem terminals, this is quite a show.  Late summer to fall. bloom   2 ft. x 2 ft.

034-079     Fuchsia 'Thomasina'     ( Fuchsia )
Sun, Part Shade     Zones 7, 8, 9 Coral Pink/Red flowers

The bold foliage is extraordinarily colorful with its green and cream variegation and cerise veining. Red petioles only serve to accent the scarlet flowers with their purple corollas. Trailing in habit, Fuchsia 'Tom West' can be used successfully in hanging baskets or to light up a sheltered corner of the garden.  Summer to autumn. bloom   12-24 in. x 12-24 in.
