589-004D4 Vaccinium ovatum ( California huckleberry ) 
Sun, Part Shade Zones 6, 7, 8 White flowers
Here in Oregon we call this native our evergreen huckleberry. Vaccinium ovatum is a familiar shrub in the Coastal Range and the Western Cascades. Although it is associated with moister areas, it is surprisingly drought tolerant once established. The form we offer has not reached four feet in height in 5 years. Its glossy, thick leaves are dark green when mature and finely serrated along their edges. New growth - which continues on and off throughout the season - is bronze to red and is especially attractive in cooler months. The bell-shaped white flowers have their first major flush in late spring and early summer but the shrub continues to bloom and bear fruit throughout the summer and fall if given adequate water. The tiny dark fruits are sweet and edible even if they are time-consuming to gather. Wild life has no trouble finding them. A Great Plant Picks selection. Late spring to early summer and later. bloom 5 ft. x 4 ft.
589-001D4 Vaccinium 'Sunshine Blue'
Sun Zones 5-10 Pink flowers
In general, we grow plants in our garden for ornamental, not culinary purposes. It is always a pleasure to find a berrying shrub that has incredible ornamental appeal. This shrub has rounded foliage that is glaucous blue. Young growth has a bronze cast to it. The small bell-shaped flowers begin pink and fade to white. And, perhaps best of all, Vaccinium 'Sunshine Blue' produces loads of delicious berries over a long period of the summer. A Great Plant Picks selection. Spring. bloom 3 ft. x 3 ft.
589-003D4 Vaccinium 'Top Hat' ( Blueberry )
Sun Zones 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 White flowers
Vaccinium 'Top Hat' is a favorite with our landscape designer because it is a small rounded shrub that is highly ornamental and produces delicious fruit as well. A few other attractions are its foliage which turns red in the fall and its waxy white bell-flowers. It is a cross between a highbush blueberry (V. corymbosum) and a lowbush blueberry (V. angustifolium) and has inherited its short size from the latter. For those that lack garden space, grow it in a container and enjoy the fact that its compact habit does not deter it from producing lots of berries. Late spring. bloom 2 ft. x 1.5 ft.
254-001 Valeriana arizonica
Sun Zones (7), 8, 9 Pink flowers
Not showy because of its small stature but very at home in our Dry Border making a small evergreen mat of rounded, midgreen, slightly hairy foliage. Valeriana arizonica produces short spikes with clusters of terminal pink flowers. Late spring. bloom 6 in. x 6 in.

084-001 Verbena bonariensis
Sun Zones 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 Lilac Purple flowers
This South American beauty has self-seeded nicely in our garden.

This widely distributed North American perennial may be found in wetter areas along the Columbia River Gorge. Its dynamic candelabra-like flower-spikes always draw the attention of summer visitors, including bees and birds.

A candelabra of flower spikes crown this upright perennial. Countless tiny long-protruding stamens give the densely packed spikes a feathery appearance. We have found Veronicastrum virginianum `Erica' to be a wonderful companion to Miscanthus sinensis 'Flamingo' where the pink flower color is echoed in the grass. Trimming back the spent spikes after the first flush of flowers will promote new growth and repeat flowering. But you can also leave the old spikes on and enjoy their form as they age. Midsummer to early autumn. bloom 3-4 ft. x 18 in.

Sun, Part Shade Zones (7), 8, 9, 10 White flowers

We liked it so much we planted it in two sites in our garden. The clusters of white flowers are especially fragrant. Use Viburnum awabuki as a large shrub to screen an unsightly view or as a small specimen tree. Spring. bloom 15-20 ft. x 10 ft.

The semi-glossy, rounded leaves can measure up to 4.5 inches long and 2.5 inches at their widest. They are lightly hairy on their reverses. In the autumn, the very oldest leaves that are preparing to fall take on yellow and red tones. For the most part though, the foliage of Viburnum x burkwoodii that stays on the shrub through the winter is green, sometimes with a flash of burgundy. The pale pink flowers have a spicy fragrance. Mid- to late spring. bloom 8 ft. x 8 ft.

Sun, Part Shade Zones 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 White flowers
Korea, Japan. We often hear people call this shrub evergreen, but it should probably be thought of as half-evergreen because it does drop many of its leaves in the autumn. The rounded leaves are thick with a pale green underleaf. When Viburnum carlesii compactum is grown in full sun, many of the leaves turn purple red. The very fragrant flowers form into 3-inch spherical clusters. The pink flowers emerge from dark pink buds. Green fruits mature into red and eventually turn black. This slow-growing, rounded shrub becomes wider than tall over time. April. bloom 8 ft. x 8 ft.

529-016D4 Viburnum davidii
Sun, Part Shade Zones (7), 8, 9 White flowers
W. China. This evergreen shrub is commonly grown and neglected in Northwest gardens. Although it will tolerate some degree of dryness, it is not a mediterranean plant and requires regular watering to reveal its true beauty. The foliage is leathery, deeply veined and not noticably toothed along the margins. It takes two plants of Viburnum davidii to produce the attractive, persistant, metallic blue fruits. The leaves are not as glossy, but in many respects this looks like a small form of Viburnum cinnamonifolium. A Great Plant Picks selection. Early summer. bloom 3-5 ft. x 5 ft.

529-032D4 Viburnum opulus 'Aureum' ( European cranberry )
Part Shade Zones 5, 6, 7, 8 White flowers
Ultimately this becomes a large deciduous shrub, round in shape with dense arching branches. In ten year's time, the shrub measured 8 feet tall and 4 feet wide in our garden. The three-lobed leaves are irregularly toothed along their margins. They measure 2 to 4 inches wide. When they are young, the leaves are bright yellow. If the shrub is grown in too much shade, that color will deepen to green. It is often advised that Viburnum opulus 'Aureum' should be planted in all morning sun and afternoon shade in order to maintain its glowing color. The flowers are very similar to white lace-cap hydrangea flowers with tiny fertile flowers in the center surrounded by larger, showier sterile flowers. The common name European cranberry refers to the beautiful red fruits which are especially lovely against the yellow foliage. Late spring. bloom 8-10 ft. x 10 ft.
529-037D4 Viburnum opulus 'Compactum'
Sun, Part Shade Zones 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 White flowers

Sun, Part Shade Zones 5, 6, 7, 8 White flowers
Japan. Introduced by the National Arboretum in 1966, this large shrub remains a garden favorite. The flat, lace-cap flowers are similar to those of lace-cap hydrangeas with tiny, fertile flowers in the center surrounded by larger sterile flowers. The large, green, maple-like leaves turn astonishing shades of yellow and red in the autumn offering an exciting contrast with the scarlet fruits. Because of its size, Viburnum sargentii `Susquehana is easily shaped into a small tree by removing lower branches. Spring. bloom Up to 15 ft. x 10 ft.
529-013D4 Viburnum tinus 'Spring Bouquet'
Sun, Part Shade Zones 7, 8, 9, 10 White/Pink flowers
In a mild climate, this upright, evergreen shrub would bloom much of the winter into the spring. As the name suggests, however, for us it offers its fragrant flowers in early spring. Pink buds open to reveal clusters of white to pale pink flowers. Later in the season, metalic blue fruits develop. Often both flowers and fruits can be found at the same time, making for an attractive vignette. Viburnum tinus `Spring Bouquet' is sensitive to cold drying winds, so plant it where it will be sheltered during the winter. Fall to early spring. bloom 6 ft. x 3 ft.
529-027D4 Viburnum tinus 'Variegatum'

248-015 Zauschneria 'Bowman's Hybrid' ( California fuchsia )
Sun Zones 8, 9, 10 Scarlet Orange flowers
Zauschneria 'Bowman's Hybrid' is distinctly upright with narrow gray green foliage that heightens the intensity of the orange tubular flowers. Hummingbirds and bees love it. Likes good drainage and lots of sun. Late summer to early fall. bloom 2ft. x 2 ft.
248-002 Zauschneria californica ( California fuchsia )
Sun Zones 8, 9, 10 Orange Scarlet flowers

248-014 Zauschneria californica 'Everett's Choice' ( California fuchsia )
Sun Zones 8, 9, 10 Scarlet Orange flowers
The gray green foliage on Zauschneria californica 'Everett's Choice', a herbaceous perennial, is softly haired. This spills out of our beds in August when the unbelievable bright scarlet-orange tubular flowers put on their show for the hummingbirds and us mere mortals. Excellent for late summer color. Late summer to early fall. bloom 6 in. x 2 ft.
248-006 Zauschneria californica 'Solidarity Pink' ( California fuchsia )
Sun Zones 7, 8, 9, 10 Soft Pink flowers
Most gardeners plant California fuchsia for their showy orange to scarlet flowers. This selection, however, adds an unexpected color to the flowers of this spreading, herbaceous perennial. We grow Zauschneria californica 'Solidarity Pink' in a no-water border where its pale flowers work well with companions Aster 'Purple Dome' and Pennisetum aleupecuroides 'Hameln'. We have underplanted 'Solidarity Pink' with small early spring bulbs which will take center stage when the plant is dormant in the spring. Summer to autumn. bloom 12 in. x 20 in.
248-022 Zauschneria 'Callistoga' ( California fuchsia )
Sun Zones (7), 8, 9 Scarlet flowers
Because Zauschneria x 'Callistoga' is prostrate in habit, it makes a good herbaceous ground cover, especially for a hillside or on a wall. The rounded, slightly bluish green leaves are soft to the touch. They are a nice complement to the brilliance of the scarlet, tubular flowers. As with other Zauschneria, both insect pollinators and hummingbirds rate this as a favorite plant. August to October. bloom 14 in. x 30 in.
248-009 Zauschneria cana ssp. latifolia ( California fuchsia )
Sun Zones 8, 9, 10 Orange flowers
Zauschneria cana ssp. latifolia is a spreading non-woody perennial with finely haired gray-green foliage. It is a cascade of orange tubular flowers for our autumn hummingbirds. July to frost. bloom 6 in. x 2 ft.
248-020 Zauschneria 'Carmen's Gray' ( California fuchsia )
Sun Zones (7)8-10 Red Orange flowers
Dense stems with narrow blue green foliage characterize this woody based California fuchsia Zauschneria 'Carmen's Gray' (Epilobium). When contrasted with its dazzling fiery flowers it is quite a sight to behold. We grow all of our Califonia fuchsias in dry well-drained or rain-only borders. Definitely a favorite of the hummingbirds. Late July to autumn. bloom 20 in. x 30 in.
248-023 Zauschneria 'El Tigre' ( California Fuchsia )
Sun Zones 7, 8, 9 Bright Scarlet flowers
The literature indicates that Zauschneria 'El Tigre' was found near the top of El Tigre Peak on Santa Cruz Island, California, where it forms low-spreading, silvery mats. However, in our moist winters, this grows upright. The narrow, blue-green leaves are a perfect backdrop for the brilliant tubular flowers that form at the terminals of both the main and axillary stems. The hummingbirds delight in this late summer treat. August to October. bloom 2 ft. x 4 ft.
248-007 Zauschneria garrettii ( California fuchsia )
Sun Zones 8, 9, 10 Red Orange flowers

Sun Zones (7), 8, 9 Scarlet Orange flowers
Zauschneria garettii `Orange Carpet' is a herbaceous, ground covering perennial that is outstanding on a dry hillside or spilling over a hot wall. The soft green leaves are somewhat hairy to the touch. Masses of scarlet, tubular flowers continue until the autumn. This is rhizomatous but is not difficult to control. July to October. bloom 12 in. x 36 in.
248-016 Zauschneria 'Silver Select' ( California fuchsia )
Sun Zones 8, 9, 10 Orange flowers
Shrubby and silver-leaved, Zauschneria californica `Silver Select' is another treat for the hummingbirds. Our friends at XERA Plants received this as a Z. californica form but they suspect it is really a Z. cana one. Late summer to fall. bloom 6 in. x 2 ft.
