756-002D3     Habranthus robustus       
Sun     Zones (8)9-10 Pink flowers
We grow this in our no-water garden where it is one of a series of bulbs from spring to autumn to echo fleetingly the pink flowers there. Flowering stems (often leafless) appear out of the soil bearing funnel-shaped flowers. Good drainage is essential.  Summer. bloom   8-12 in.
More   

756-001D3     Habranthus tubispathus       
Sun     Zones (8)9-11 Burnt Orange flowers
This bulb produces solitary stems with dainty, single funnel-shaped flowers which bloom after a rain (or watering). The three-sided seed capsules open with the ensuing heat to reveal papery, ebony seeds. A charming ephemeral.  Summer. bloom   10 in.

179-002-1     Hakonechloa macra     ( Hakone grass )     
Shade, Part Shade     Zones 4 to 8
Lovely bamboo-like grass with wiry stems. A graceful, slow spreading feature in the woodland garden. In fall, the blades turn a burnished bronze.    2 feet.
More

179-004     Hakonechloa macra 'Albostriata'     ( Japanese forest grass )     
Part Shade     Zones 6-9
Like all of the selections of Japanese forest grass, this has a soft, cascading nature that makes it so delightful to brush past. As the name indicates, it has a white stripe down its green foliage. 'Albostriata' tends to be a little faster growing than other forest grasses which is a good thing since the gold edged form is so slow. A lovely addition to hostas and ferns. GPP    14 in. x 16 in.
More   

179-005     Hakonechloa macra 'All Gold'       
Part Shade, Shade     Zones 5-9
Lovely cascading forest grass is chartreuse in the shade but more golden given more sun. Soft, bamboo-like leaves make an appealing sound rustling in the breeze. Use this to light up an area that falls into darkness.    18 in. x 18 in.
More   

179-001     Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola'     ( Golden variegated Japanese forest grass )     
Part Shade     Zone 7-9
All the rage a few years ago, this radiant gold-striped woodland grass is still deservedly popular. Soft, arching, bamboo-like blades illuminate our shade garden and give a wonderful silken rustle in response to passing legs. GPP.    1 ft. x 2 ft.
More   

179-006     Hakonechloa macra 'Beni-Kaze'     ( Japanese forest grass )     
Part Shade     Zones 6-8
The soft billowing blades of Japanese forest grass are ideal along paths in woodland gardens where they can delicately caress the bare ankles and shins of summer strollers. 'Beni-Kaze', meaning "red wind" in Japanese, is an appropriate name, for this grass turns red toward late summer when the autumn winds start to blow. Sunlight makes this grass increase more rapidly but it can burn in the hottest sun.    18-20 in. x 24 in.

848-002D4     Halimium calycinum       
Sun     Zones 8-10 Yellow flowers
We have been very happy to find that these small shrubs are winter hardy for us. Although they may soon be reclassified as Cistus, for now we leave them with the name by which we have known them. The rosemary-like foliage is green rising on ruddy stems. In habit this grows outward but remains upright. Give it a warm sunny slope or rockery.  May to June. bloom   1 ft. x 2 ft.

848-008D4     Halimium pauanum (x)       
Sun     Zones 8-10 Yellow flowers
(H. halimifolium x H. lasianthum) Brilliant is the word that is used to describe the yellow flowers of this cross. The leaves are almost lavender-like as they rise up the slightly woolly stems. Upright and very free-flowering, this is certainly a shrub that needs to be more widely cultivated.  May to June. bloom   6 ft. x 4-5 ft.
More   

654-001D4     Halmiocistus wintonensis       
Sun     Zones 7-9 White/Dark Maroon flowers

More

268-051D4     Hebe 'Anomala'       
Sun     Zones 7-10 White flowers
This dense, upright, evergreen shrub has small, dark, lance-shaped leaves which are thinly outlined in lime-green giving the plant a subtle radiance. The flowers give rise to the name "anomala" because they are 3-petalled instead of the normal 4. This has had a long history in the garden, having received the Award of Merit in England in 1891.  Early summer. bloom   3 ft. x 3 ft.
More   

268-052D4     Hebe anomala 'Snow Cover'

268-003D4     Hebe 'Emerald Gem' ('McKeanii')       
Sun     Zones 8-9 White flowers
We have long grown Hebe mckeanii (also called 'McKeanii') in our garden but have never been able to establish its provenance. After reading Lawrie Metcalf's book "Hebes" we suspect that what we have been growing is really 'Emerald Gem' which is a natural cross found in the wild by A.W. McKean. Thanks to him we have this low, rounded evergreen shrub that has small, bright, somewhat yellow green foliage. GPP.    12 in. x 18 in.
More   

268-059D4     Hebe evenosa       
Sun     Zones (7)8-9 White flowers

Sun     Zones 7-9 White flowers
According to hebe expert Laurie Metcalf, this was found by Graham Hutchins on Hinerua Ridge in New Zealand. It is thought to be a natural cross between Hebe odora and H. hectori subsp. subsimilis. As a whipcord hebe, this held up well in our harsh winter of 2008-09. The tiny leaves are yellow green, tightly adpressed to the stems at their bases but recurve away from the stem at their tips. We have never had this bloom.    24 in. x 20 in.

More   

268-088D4     Hebe 'Jasper'       
Sun     Zones 7-9 White flowers
According to Lawrie Metcalf in his book, Hebes, the name for this shrub is derived from the color of the winter foliage which is reminiscent of the color of the local stone near where this seedling was found at the Forest Research Station, Rangiora, Canterbury, NZ. This is a low mounding evergreen shrub with spikes appearing on both terminal and axillary stems.  May to June. bloom   12 in. x 15 in.

268-047D4     Hebe 'Sapphire'       
Sun     Zones (7)8-9 Violet flowers
We received this plant from the Elizabeth C. Miller Botanic Garden in Seattle. It was one of their selections after Hebe trials at the North Willamette Experiment Station. Although it does not turn nearly as red as Hebe 'Caledonia' during the winter, it has proven more reliable in our late frosts. Each leaf has a red central bar and the new stems are red as well, giving this a ruddy glow during the cold season but diminishing in vividness in the summer.
