Alstroemeria 'Azula'  (PERUVIAN LILY, PRINCESS LILY)
Pot Size Zone ? Season Exposure Height Price Quantity
4" 7 June-Oct. - 32-38" $18.00  
This is currently the most outstanding selection we offer in the purple color range. The flowers are medium-large (2.5"), dark lavender with a white zone but no yellow, which intensifies the purple experience. Unfortunately for everyone involved, this is the slowest to propagate, yielding only a few a year despite keeping about 30 stock plants. See top of page about saving shipping costs.

Alstroemeria 'Joyous'  (PERUVIAN LILY, PRINCESS LILY)
Pot Size Zone ? Season Exposure Height Price Quantity
4" 6 June-Oct. - 18-24" $10.00  
For many years, close to 10 actually, we had this color in our collection but the plants wouldn't produce hardly any offsets. Finally, after growing and trying many seedlings, we came up with this one that divides in an acceptable manner. See top of page about saving shipping costs.

Alstroemeria 'Margaret'  (PERUVIAN LILY, PRINCESS LILY)
Pot Size Zone ? Season Exposure Height Price Quantity
4" 7 June-Oct. - 40-48" $10.00  
A rich and intense purple-red color sports this selection. Its stems tower over all others but are nevertheless thick and sturdy. The flowers are medium-large; 2.5". See top of page about saving shipping costs.

Alstroemeria 'Sussex Gold'  (PERUVIAN LILY, PRINCESS LILY)
Pot Size Zone ? Season Exposure Height Price Quantity
4" 7 June-Oct. - 32-38" $10.00  
Certain gold and orange colored Peruvian Lilies (Alstroemerias aurea) gave them a bad name because they can take over your yard and neighborhood. To the rescue comes 'Sussex Gold', which, like all other varieties we offer, doesn't "run" and this one doesn't even seed. The flowers are medium-large (2.5"), open with a light bronze/burnt orange tinge but age to deep, pure gold. You can bank on this one! See top of page about saving shipping costs.

Arisaema sikokianum silver center (corms)  (JAPANESE JACK-IN-THE-PULPIT, COBRA LILY)
Pot Size Zone ? Season Exposure Height Price Quantity
bare root 5 April-May - 18-24" $18.00  
Shipped Jan.-March only. Same as the species but with liver marked leavr centers. Prefers a moist but well drained soil. Currently 2 years old corms (3/4" in diameter), 1 year away from blooming, shipped bare root Jan. through March.

Arum maculatum 'Bakovci'  (CUCKOO PINT, LORDS AND LADIES)
Pot Size Zone ? Season Exposure Height Price Quantity
3 1/2" 5 May-June - 6-8" $18.00  
All of you who suffer Arumphobia, try this one for an instant cure: leaves are 3/4 creamy yellow with irregular green margin. Out of an under-sized spathe protrudes a club-shaped, dark maroon spadix. We had them about 5 year ago and they sold out right away. It took us that long to get a crop going again.

Bomarea salsilla  (PERUVIAN LILY, PRINCESS LILY)
Pot Size Zone ? Season Exposure Height Price Quantity
3 1/2" 8 June-July - 24-48" $9.25  
A must for any Peruvian lily collector is this charming Chilean native. We have been growing them for about 6 years, not paying much attention to them since they weren't supposed be hardy here, and we don't heat our cold frames. Over the years we lost many plants that were supposed to be hardy but not this one. Looks fabulous grown into a variegated shrub or little tree like in the picture.

Campanula carpatica 'Purety'  (TUSSOCK BELLFLOWER)
Pot Size Zone ? Season Exposure Height Price Quantity
3 1/2" 4 June-Aug. - 4-6" $8.50  
A white sport (mutation) of Campanula carpatica 'Cathy' occurring at our nursery some years ago. Classy 'Cathy' has always been our favorite and 'Purety' inherited that refinement. With the white color, she looks even more polished.

Campanula x pulloides 'G. F. Wilson'  (BELLFLOWER)
Pot Size Zone ? Season Exposure Height Price Quantity
3 1/2" 4 July-Aug. - 4-5" $6.50  
A rarely offered selection with roundish, wide dark violet bells. As dark as C. carpatica 'Arend's Form' but maybe a bit more in the purple direction. Slow spreading.

Cyclamen rhodium ssp. peloponnesiacum  (HARDY CYCLAMEN)
Pot Size Zone ? Season Exposure Height Price Quantity
2-3/8" 7 March-April - 2-3" $10.00  
A rarely offered species with silvery-white mottled and splashed, dark green leaves. The narrow-petaled flowers have a prominent dark nose. Like cilicicum and mirabile, needs a well drained soil and is possibly hardier than just to zone 7. 2 3/8" square -3 3/4" deep pots.

Daphne x susannae 'Tage Lundell'  (ROCK DAPHNE)
Pot Size Zone ? Season Exposure Height Price Quantity
4" 5 June-Aug. - 12-15" $15.00  
[D. collina x D. arbuscula] Another great hybrid with medium lavender -pink flowers. Very similar to D. Collina x D. cneorum but a slower grower.

Dierama 'Blackbird'  (ANGEL'S FISHING ROD, WANDFLOWER, FAIRY WAND)
Pot Size Zone ? Season Exposure Height Price Quantity
3 1/2" 7 June-July. - 5-6 ft. $7.25  
After acquiring seed bearing that name for countless years, we finally found our "dark horse" that fits the description of dark purple. These are seedlings of the darkest plant but they'll naturally vary.

Disporum cantoniense red flowered  (RED FLOWERED FAIRY BELLS)
Pot Size Zone ? Season Exposure Height Price Quantity
4" 6 May-June - 18-24" $22.00  
With that discretion received; I'd call it dusky purple. Either way, very unusual for any fairy bells. Overall a smaller plant than most D. cantoniense, with shiny, dark green leaves. Best in a moist, humusy soil - drought tolerant once established. 2-7/8" square - 5-1/2" deep pots.

Epimedium acuminatum 'Night Mistress'  (BARRENWORT, BISHOP'S HAT, FAIRY WINGS)
Pot Size Zone ? Season Exposure Height Price Quantity
3 1/2" 5 April-May - 12-15" $25.00   Sold Out
New crop ready May 2012 - The darkest selection of this evergreen species with medium-sized flowers. The inner petals are long-spurred and strongly arched inward, of a rich purple-violet, set off by pale pink sepals on the outside. For us it has proven to be not only a heavy bloomer, but also a good rebloomer: we seem to have flowers off and on throughout summer and fall among the crop. Clumping.

Epimedium pinnatum ssp. colchicum 'Thunderbolt'  (BARRENWORT, BISHOP'S HAT, FAIRY WINGS)
Pot Size Zone ? Season Exposure Height Price Quantity
4" 5 April-May - 10" $13.50  
A recent selection with evergreen foliage that darkens at the onset of cooler weather to dark purple-charcoal. The veins stay green, giving them the thunderbolt look. As with all E. pinnatum, this one is spreading and very drought tolerant.

Epimedium wushanense "Spiny-leaved Form"  (BARRENWORT, BISHOP'S HAT, FAIRY WINGS)
Pot Size Zone ? Season Exposure Height Price Quantity
4" 5 April-May - 12-15" $35.00  
Too much for words is this evergreen knockout. The large, glossy leaves are of heavy substance, up to 6" long and very spiny. New leaves are bronze to dark purple tinged, adding to the spectacle and creating the perfect backdrop for the soft yellow flowers. These are borne in denseclusters, which is unusual for Epimedium. It's a relatively strong grower - according to some literature it is supposed to throw out 4" rhizomes; for us it has been 1-2" so far. Maybe they'll do 4" after several years, and in a rich, moist soil.

Epimedium x perralchicum 'Frohnleiten'  (BARRENWORT, BISHOP'S HAT, FAIRY WINGS)
Pot Size Zone ? Season Exposure Height Price Quantity
4" 5 April-May - 6-10" $9.50  
A hybrid between E. perralderinaum and E. pinnatum ssp. colchicum, both very drought tolerant, which makes this selection from Germany also very drought tolerant. This particular variety has rose-red mottled - green veined foliage in spring, turning dark green in summer.

Galanthus reginae-olgiae  (FALL SNOWDROP)
Pot Size Zone ? Season Exposure Height Price Quantity
3 1/2" 6 Sept.-Oct. - 4-6" $7.25   Sold Out
Some folks just can't wait for spring and we have an easy solution for them: Fall blooming snowdrops. The leaves are gray-green and emerge after the flowers, staying through the winter and spring. Needs a well drained soil.

Gentiana acaulis Hybrid 'Maxima'  (TRUMPET GENTIAN, STEMLESS GENTIAN, ENZIAN)
Pot Size Zone ? Season Exposure Height Price Quantity
2-3/8" 3 April-May - 3" $8.50  
For years we've been selling 'Undulatifolia' as the "best" trumpet gentian and we'll keep it that way. However, 'Maximus' is the "very best"; a tad larger flowers and more of them, at least in spring. This one reblooms as well in summer/fall but we haven't had enough of them for a long enough period to compare and see if as numerous as 'Undulatifolia'. For any good garden soil, needs light shade in hotter regions. 2 3/8" square - 3 3/4" deep pots - blooming size.

Gentiana asclepiadea 'Pink Cascade'  (WILLOW GENTIAN)
Pot Size Zone ? Season Exposure Height Price Quantity
3 1/2" 4 July-Sept. - 18-24" $7.50  
A pale lavender-pink selection, dark striped outside and finely spotted inside.

Homogald 'West Coast Hybrids'  (HOMOGLAD HYBRID GLADIOLA)
Pot Size Zone ? Season Exposure Height Price Quantity
3 1/2" 7 March-April - 20-28" $9.50  
Crosses between Homoglossum watsonium and Gladiola tristis, hence the name. Actually the genus Homoglossum had been dropped (make-work for botanists) so it should be Gladiolus now with a fancy species name. How about G. watristis or G. tristonium? Either way, they make a great dwarf gladiola with soft yellow flowers flushed purple, fragrant in the evenings. The dark green, rush-like leaves emerge in late fall and stay through spring. They'll go summer dormant and can thus take very dry at that time, although they won't mind moderate summer water.

Hosta lancifolia  (PLANTAIN LILY, HOSTA)
Pot Size Zone ? Season Exposure Height Price Quantity
2-3/8" 4 July-Aug. - 4-6" $8.50  
A miniature species with very narrow leaves and lavender flowers. Not to be mistaken for Hosta 'Lancifolia', which is a Hybrid and much larger.

Ledebouria stenophylla 'Gary Hammer'  (FALLS SCILLA)
Pot Size Zone ? Season Exposure Height Price Quantity
3 1/2" 7 June-July - 6-8" $8.50  
A striking foliage plant with about 12" long leaves, irregularly flecked maroon. The pink flowers in summer come as a bonus. Easy to grow in any well draining soil.

Leontopodium discolor  (HIMALAYAN EDELWEISS)
Pot Size Zone ? Season Exposure Height Price Quantity
3 1/2" 4 June-Aug. - 6-8" $7.75  
While most Asian Edelweiss species originate in the Himalayas and Pamir Mts., this one is native to Japan, and also S.E. China and Korea. Very similar to L. camtschaticum and as adaptable.

Leontopodium ochroleucum  (HIMALAYAN EDELWEISS)
Pot Size Zone ? Season Exposure Height Price Quantity
3 1/2" 4 June-Aug. - 6-8" $7.75  
Another Asian species found in the Pamir Mts., growing up to high elevations. Similar to the other species but with somewhat broader petals and leaves. The flowers overall resemble the typical edelweiss flower, blooming over an extended period in summer. As easy and long-lived as the others.
