195-004-1 Magnolia 'Ann' 
Sun Zone 3-8 Red Purple flowers
There is nothing quite like the glow of the large, red purple, cupped flowers against the gray of our midspring skies.

Midspring and repeats throughout summer. bloom 8-10 ft. x 8 ft.

463-001D4 Mahonia nevinii
Sun Zones 8-10 Yellow flowers
The tough, narrow, holly-like leaves with glaucous blue green surfaces and powdery blue undersides indicate clearly that this is a plant from a dry region, in this case Southern California. It has proven to be a reliable shrub here in the Pacific Northwest reaching 7 to 8 feet in height on gnarled, very textural branches. The evergreen leaves are copper-red when young, complementing the dense racemes of yellow flowers. In midsummer, it bears slightly orange red berries. Early to mid-spring. bloom 7-8 ft. x 6-8 ft.

More
562-001D4 Melianthus major
Sun Zones 8-10 Red Brown flowers
These seed-raised plants have a gray blue cast to their large, toothed, pinnate leaves. This is a plant that does not need to bloom to draw attention to itself. However, when it does bloom, the flowers form in spike-like racemes. They have an unusual scent, which, although not unpleasant, is nothing to take indoors. Late spring to midsummer. bloom 6-10 ft. x 3 ft.
More

Sun Zones 5-10
China. This ancient conifer, known only through fossil records until rediscovered after WWII, used to grow in a huge tub in our retail area until we grew concerned about its ever increasing height.

A Joy Creek Introduction. This is the big sister of Miscanthus 'Gold Bar'. Like 'Gold Bar', its blades have dense horizontal gold stripes from the base of the plant to its tip. Where the dark green blades of 'Gold Bar' are stiff, however, those of 'Gold Breeze' are broad, arching, and apple-green. The name conjures up the way the grass moves in the wind.
