Windcliff Plants is a small endeavor on our property that has the luxury of propagating only those plants that we feel deserve greater recognition in gardens of North America; you will not find filler or bread and butter crops in this listing. But for few exceptions, the entirety of our inventory is part of my own collection work with their provenance and collection numbers in the plant description or provided upon request.
Sorry; we do NOT do mail-order. These plants are available to order online and pickup at Windcliff. They are also available at garden opens at Windcliff throughout the year, or at regional plant sales in Seattle, Portland and on the Kitsap Peninsula. With some exceptions, a wholesale quantity discount is available for legitimate businesses.
Please check out upcoming events to see when we will be opening our garden, as well as other events where we might be present with our plants. Or make an appointment to visit our garden and nursery. We do not produce in large quantities, so please check regarding availability before your visit.

| Arisaema sikokianum var. serratum DJHH 16049 | The continental form of this well known Japanese species, from wild-collected seed in Tian Mu Shan, ZhejiangProvince in 2016. Purple-black spathes and a contrasting nobby-white spathe formed on 18” stems; foliage more deeply serrated than its Japanese counterpart. Cool, humus rich soils and in partially shaded sites. | d1 | 12 |
| Arisaema speciosum var. mirabile DH 16013 | From the Arunachal Pradesh, the NE Indian form of this astounding plant with three handsome leaves and hooded inflorescences at ground level possessing ridiculously, hilariously long spadix tips widening at their base to a 'mouse going down a hole'. Light shade, humusy soils with adequate spring moisture. | d1 | 12 |
| Arisaema speciosum var. mirabile DH 16083 | A very pretty and curious trifoliate species with leaves emargined with pink and black spathes produced near the ground from which a long, protruding, wiry spadix emerges. Collected in the rich Mishmi Hills of NE India in 2016 with Dave Demers, we are thankful to Aroid expert, Pascal Bruggeman for putting a name to this rare species. Best in partially shaded sites in humusy soils. | d1 | 15 |
| Arisaema speciosum var. mirabile DH 16087 | A very pretty and curious trifoliate species with leaves emargined with pink and black spathes produced near the ground from which a long, protruding, wiry spadix emerges. Collected in the rich Mishmi Hills of NE India in 2016 with Dave Demers, we are thankful to Aroid expert, Pascal Bruggeman for putting a name to this rare species. Best in partially shaded sites in humusy soils. | d1 | 15 |
| Arisaema taiwanensis ex DJHT 12064 | The queen of all Arisaemas, with whorls of large dark green, purple tinted foliage, handsomely purple striped stems and swarthy hooded flowers produced beneath, yielding enormous red heads of fruit in autumn. A precocious species, this is often times blossom in a single year from seed. This species is a must have in any well appointed woodland garden. From my collections in Taiwan in 2012. | d1 | 12 |
| Arisaema thunbergii var. urashima f. alba | Found on Kyushu in Japan in 1995, this rarity remains one of the most startling, durable and dependable Arisaema’s one can cultivate. A true “I have it and you don’t” sort of plant. Excellent candidate for container culture, or in any rich yet draining soil in partial shade. | d2 | 18 |
| Arisaema tortuosum DH 16058 | My collections from the 10,000' level of Mayodia Pass in the Mishimi Hills of the Arunachal Pradesh, blossoming for the first time showing affinity to later flowering form of A. tortuosum but more diminutive in height, though with a ridiculously long and erect spadix, a curiosity for the woodland or shaded container. My oh my that spadix is long and erect, they might say. | d1 | 15 |
| Arisaema tortuosum DH 16058 | From the Arunachal Pradesh, the NE Indian form of this astounding plant with three handsome leaves and hooded inflorescences at ground level possessing ridiculously, hilariously long spadix tips widening at their base to a 'mouse going down a hole'. Light shade, humusy soils with adequate spring moisture. | d2 | 15 |
| Arisaema wilsonii | From the rich mountainous flora of W. Sichuan, this is the grand maestro of Arisaema species, forming immense leaves, three per stems, and large, sinister, black 'cobras' held slightly above. A long lived species that will readily fruit and put itself around the garden in the most polite manner possible. Light shade and humus rich soils best. | d1 | 15 |
| Aristolochia griffithii DH 16082 | On my third encounter with A. griffithii, I was thrilled to at last find seed. At first blossoming this spring, I was dumbfounded by the size and show of the yellow flowers, so as to appear more an Allamanda than pipevine. Large heart-shaped foliage, deciduous, from high elevations in the western Arunachal Pradesh. Am I excited? Probably best in bright shade. | d4 | 32.5 |
| Aristolochia kaempferi DJHS 4226 | Collected in NE Sichuan in 2004 by Hinkley/Demers, a moderate deciduous vine with startling and curious ‘pipes’ of yellow and burgundy in spring and summer. | d4 | 18 |
| Aspidistra zongbayi DJHC 836 | Extremely rare collection from Sichuan 1996 performing admirably at Heronswood, forming a dense textural and colorful groundcover with naturally variegated lanceolate leaves, in deep shade and average evenly moist soil. The foliage sings but the flowers...why bother? | d4 | 15 |
| Astelia nervosa | Though I germinated this seed under the name of Astelia nivicola, from New Zealand, it appears to be A. nervosa though larger in all aspects. It has proven to be a spectacular plant at Windcliff, forming substantial 3' mounds of silvery foliage and only slightly damaged during the coldest winters of the past 10 years. Very pretty orange berries in late summer. Full sun or light shade and draining soils. | gal | 18 |
| Asteranthera ovata HCM 98200 | 1998 Chiloe Island south of Puerto Montt, Chile, returned by a kind customer who kept it when Heronswood was shuttered. This self-clinging evergreen generiad vine appears much like a small-foliaged climbing Hydrangea, with gobsmacking bright red flaring flowers. Evenly moist rich soils in shade, protected mild locale, easy container plant, protect from arctic outbreaks. | d4 | 15 |
| Astilbe chinensis Golden Variegated | After bringing this from Japan years ago, and never being a huge fan of Astilbes in general, it has taken me a decade or longer to develop an affection for this selection, clad in radioactive radiance in early spring, later fading to normality while offering heads of pink poof. Bright shade or full sun in evenly moist soils. | d4 | 18 |

| Begonia aff. chitoensis _x000B_select seedling DJHT 12012 | My 2012 collections of this 'species' from the central highlands of Taiwan, where, due to numerous natural occurring hybrids, Begonia naming comes with a great deal of risk. This possesses hand velvety textured foliage and pink flowers for a long period in late summer and autumn. Zone 8 or above in a sheltered position. | d4 | 15 |
| Begonia aff. hemsleyana ‘Shangri-La’ TM | From friend and fellow traveling compatriot, Shayne Chandler, comes this remarkable hardy Begonia in the realm of B. hemsleyanum but truly, utterly, sincerely hardy, also robust and clumping. Something this handsome has absolutely no right to be hardy. Partially shaded sites in humus rich soils with adequate moisture. | d4 | 22.5 |
| Begonia aff. palmata DJHM 13008 | An extremely handsome species collected from 9,000' on the slopes of Phonganrazi during my 2013 trip to northern Myanmar. The robust clumps of handsomely marbled leaves of this species, relatively spare in numbers, made for a satisfying day for one smitten by hardy and possibly hardy Begonias for the PNW. This is untested and thusly fits snugly into the latter. | d4 | 15 |
| Begonia annulata HWJK 2424 | Hardy and handsome, this species from E. Nepal with the Wynn-Jones and Jamaica Kincaid in 2002, with relatively large leaves beautiully marbled with silver and pretty white flowers in late summer. This is a late riser, as so many Begonias are; do NOT presume it is gone. Partial shade in humusy soils best. | d2 | 15 |
| Begonia arborensis DJHAP 18001 | Among the largest foliaged Begonias in the world, each leaf will easily compete with a moderately sized Gunnera tinctoria, making immense statements in a container or in the ground in mild locales. This hails from the Arunachal Pradesh in NE India, collected in 2018. The flowers, formed at ground level. | d4 | 15 |
| Begonia baviensis DJHV 13034 | One of the most startling of the Begonias I have collected in Vietnam, and successfully cultivated outside for numerous years, with bristly red stems, hairy leaves and large white flowers. Best cultivated in partial shade and provided some overstory protection, in cool humusy soils. | d4 | 18 |
| Begonia flaviflora - Myanmar DJHM 13027 | I was dumbfounded when this first blossomed, first in 2015, after my expedition to Myanmar in 2013, having collected its seed at relatively high elevation but at, alas, low latitude, expecting typical pink flowers but why even bother wondering…. it would not be hardy ….. None the matter, it seems, as this sensational yellow-flowering species appears to be quite at home in the PNW, in light shade and well draining but humus rich soils. Lovely silvery banded foliage. | d4 | 18 |
| Begonia fusca GWJ 9375 | A non-hardy but magnificent Wynn Jones collection from mid-elevations in Mexico with foliage up to 2' across and heads of pink flowers produced slightly below. Hardy only to zone 9 but does exceedingly well as a container plant in the PNW. | gal | 22.5 |
| Begonia grandis DJHS 8096 | A good form of this very hardy species with a striking leaf undersurface of burgundy and a long display of pink flowers in summer, on stems to 15”. Long lived and easy, partial shade, draining, cool soils. | d2 | 8 |
| Begonia grandis from ’Heron’s Pirouette’ | Seedling grown from a very good, large flowered selection of this species made at Heronswood in the late 90's, with handsome burnished foliage and a very long display of pink flowers through out summer and autumn; bulbils in leaf axils readily grow into new plants. | d2 | 8 |
| Begonia mangshanensis DJHC 15092 | The rare endemic to the Mangshan in Hunan Province sailed through its first winter in the PNW unscathed in 2016-17, so we have high hopes for its inclusion in the woodlands of our regional landscapes. Very pretty deeply cut leaves and a long display of pink flowers in summer throughout autumn. | gal | 22.5 |
| Begonia ‘Metallic Mist’ | A hardy begonia and sensational container plant, bred in Oregon, based on two Heronswood introductions from China. Partial shade best. | d4 | 15 |

| Begonia ‘Smooch‘ | An introduction from my friend and colleague, Ozzie Johnson, who used Begonia grandis 'Herons Pirouette' and Begonia chitoensis to create a stunning and hardy hybrid with glossy leaves, large pink flowers and NO annoying bulbils as found with B. grandis. Sails through PNW winters and is early to rise. Partial shade in evenly moist soils. | d4 | 16 |
| Begonia sp. DH 001 (AP1) | A lovely yet unknown Begonia species from the Arunachal Pradesh in NE India in the autumn of 2016 by Demers and Hinkley, possessing variable foliage with striking zonation in plums and silvers with pretty light pink to white flowers in mid-summer through autumn, for a sheltered position in partial shade and cool, humus rich soils. | d4 | 15 |
| Begonia sp. DH 16002 | From relatively high in the Arunachal Pradesh, ~10,000', an extremely variable species delectable in its swirls of purples, greens and grays upon leaf surface than the pink flowers that appear later in the summer. Thus far hardy in Heronswood woodland where we mulch with sawdust in fall . Well worth the effort; performs in foliage like few hardy Begonias can. | d4 | 15 |
| Begonia sp. DH 16011 | A lovely Begonia from nearly 10,000' in the Arunachal Pradesh in the autumn of 2016, in the affinity of B. palmata, with rounded lobed leaves centrally banded in bruise and very pretty light pink to white flowers in late summer through autumn. Due to its elevation, we are optimistic for full hardiness in zone 8 however it is not thus far tested. | gal | 18 |
| Begonia sp. DH 16015 | d4/gal | 15 | |
| Begonia sp. DJHAP 18106 | rose | 3 | |
| Begonia sp. DJHC 98234 | A remarkably hardy and charming species collected in Yunnan in 1998, forming low dense mounds of foliage and squat but airy sprays of pink flowers; best in shade or partial shade. | d2 | 12 |
| Begonia sp. DJHG 11666 | Collected with compatriots Johnson and McMahan, this very hardy and vigorous species forms a relatively vigorous 6” carpet of small, handsomely glossy foliage and sprays of pretty light pink flowers rising above in mid to late summer, for light shade in humusy, evenly moist soils; some overhead protection suggested below zone 8 or mulch with sawdust. | d4 | 15 |
| Begonia sp. DJHV 13070 | From Five Fingers in northern Vietnam, collected at 7600' in the autumn of 2013. 1' clumps of handsomely mottled foliage in moisture rich soils under a high over story. Proven hardy in the PNW. | d4 | 12 |
| Begonia sp. DM 16014 | Thrilled thus far with the Begonia collections from nearly 9500' in the extreme NE of India, in the Arunachal Pradesch, these with highly variable but startling bands of color. These are meant for shade and if grown in cool, humusy soils, all the better! Not fully tested for hardiness; keep in a pot until you can divide and trial. | d4 | 18 |
| Begonia sp. ex DH 001 AP | A lovely yet unknown Begonia species from the Arunachal Pradesh in NE India in the autumn of 2016 by Demers and Hinkley, possessing variable foliage with striking zonation in plums and silvers with pretty light pink to white flowers in mid-summer through autumn, for a sheltered position in partial shade and cool, humus rich soils. | d4 | 15 |
| Begonia sp. Select A DJHAP 16Spr._x000B_ | From a very variable species on the Mishmi Hills of extreme NE India, Select A deserves a better name but has been given a full frontal position in our container wall near our front door. The leaves speak for themselves. Protect by mulching from hardest frosts. Light shade, evenly moist soils. | gal | 18 |
| Begonia sp. Silver/Burgundy Ireland | d4 | 12 | |
| Begonia sp Vietnam DJHV 13055 | An extremely large species with stems to 3' and stunning 'angel wing like' foliage with some mottling, collected on the remote Five Fingers range at 8300' in the autumn of 2013, while lost, in near complete darkness and in full exhaustion at the end of a death march. We shortly after pitched our tents in muck. Take the Begonia. Don't worry about me. Untested for hardiness in the PNW but, with high elevation Begonias as a whole, I am always pleasantly surprised. | d4 | 15 |
| Begonia sp Vietnam DJHV 13076 | From Five Fingers in northern Vietnam, collected at 7600' in the autumn of 2013. 1' clumps of handsomely mottled foliage in moisture rich soils under a high over story. Currently untested for hardiness in the PNW. | d4 | 15 |
| Begonia U614 (taliensis) | Eric Hammond's original 1997collection for Heronswood, a true gem of the genus for foliage, with heavily mottled palmate 'spiny' foliage and soft pink fading to white flowers in mid-summer. Needs winter protection to survive Puget Sound winters (wood shavings over the crown) but adaptable to pot culture, store in cool space in dormancy. Light shade, evenly moist soils. | d4 | 15 |
| Bergenia ciliata ‘Dixter Form’ | One of the most astounding Bergenias to be grown, gifted to us by the late Christopher Lloyd and since passed about at 'Dixter'. Fully deciduous, the seductive felted leaves will astound in texture and proportion. Full sun or light shade. The flowers in spring, pink, are understated. | gal | 35 |
| Bergenia stracheyi | Shared with me by colleagues from Gothenburg Botanic Garden, a rare far eastern/Siberian species with handsome foliage and late winter spikes of soft pink flowers for full sun and average soil. | gal | 18 |
| Beschoneria septentrionalis | A Mexican Agavoid that is immensely undeservedly scarce in PNW horticulture, forming evergreen 'yucca-like' mounds from which arise zippy redx-stemmed inflorescences carrying bells of green-tinged red in late summer. Amazingly enough content in both shade OR sun; perhaps a bit more floriferous under brighter conditions. | gal | 22.5 |
| Beschorneria yuccoides ‘Hidalgo‘ | Originally from Yucca Do Nursery, this species from NE Mexico has been a doer for us along our rock walls and dry (even shaded) slopes with tough as nails evergreen foliage and dependable, long, somewhat lax rich red flowering stems to 4' carrying green to yellow flowers adored by hummingbirds. Full sun and draining soils._x000B__x000B_ | gal | 22.5 |
| Billardiera longiflora 'Rosea' _x000B_(Neika Tasmania, 500 m) | A wild collected form of the pink fruiting form of this charming evergreen vine from Tasmania, with pretty tubular flowers in spring followed by large fleshy pink berries, reportedly edible, in autumn, held into early winter. For light shade, easily grown through a small shrub or on a trellis. | d4 | 15 |
| Billardiera longiflora Wills Track_x000B_(750-800m) | From SW Australia, Wills Track, Mt. Wellington, Tasmania, at 750m, , this charming evegreeen vine in the Pittosporum family, with narrow leaves along wiry stems to 10', smothered in tubular yellow stained blue flowers in spring resulting in stunning marble sized and edible sapphire blue berries in autumn. Successfully cultivated through small shrubs or on the arbor- always | d4 | 15 |
| Boquila trifoliolata HS 066 | Extremely rare Chilean relative of Akebia, evergreen, long chains of lavender berries, excellent texture, used for basket making in S. America. The first plant known to imitate several hosts, a rare quality known as mimetic polymorphism. | d4 | 15 |
| Brachyglottis compacta | A fool proof, striking and drought tolerant evergreen shrub from New Zealand, forming a dense rounded shrub clad with glistening silver gray foliage, while clusters of yellow daisies appear on the end of each branch in mid-summer. Much too infrequently seen in PNW gardens. | d4 | 12 |
| Brassaiopsis dumicola DJHV 8077 | From the mountains of NE Vietnam, this Araliad with cleverly lobed foliage has proven hardy, vigorous and handsome, for partial shade in evenly moist draining soils. To 15', perhaps | d2 | 45 |

| Calanthe discolor DJHC 610 | Well, dis color is white but dat color is pink. This hardy, dependable and easy terrestrial orchid, collected in Sichuan Province in 1996, can be very variable in color, however this collection presents very pretty silvery white 'orchids' on stems to 10” above spreading colonies of semi-evergreen strap-like foliage, for semi shaded sites in cool, evenly moist, humus-rich, draining soils. | d4 | 22.5 |
| Callianthe ‘Duane’s Red’ | Yet another plant that we can blame our good friend and comrade, Duane West for, who found this in a tiny roadside stand with a plastic label that simply said Red. We found it too undignified for such a good plant, with rich scarlet red bells, nicely shaped and in profusion, 4.5', full sun and draining soils. | d4 | 15 |
| Callianthe ‘Lemon Drop’ | A very lovely yellow flowered 'Maple' forming a shrublet to 4.5' (though may be cut to the ground during the coldest winters) and a near non-stop offering of, well, lemon yellow flowers throughout summer and autumn. Best planted in full sun and draining soils. Do not presume this has died if it retreats to the ground after a hard freeze. It WILL return if fully established. | d4 | 12 |
| Callianthe ‘Lifted Skirts’ | A seedling selection that occurred at Windiclfif with distinctive flowers of orange sherbet, veined in red, each petal strongly recurved backward like a bar room dancer looking for a better tip. It has proven to be very hardy here, beginning to blossom in June and continuing well into November. | d4 | 15 |
| Callianthe ‘Lucky Lantern Red’ | A very good selection with brilliant red lanterns produced amidst very dark green foliage for a long period, beginning mid-June and carrying on until the hardest of freezes in autumn. Planted in draining soils and full sun, these will prove hardy though equally good as a container plant worth protecting in cool, unheated places in winter. | d4 | 15 |
| Callianthe megapotamica | d4 | 12 | |
| Callianthe megapotamica ‘Red’ | A not very original name for a very good plant on this selection from the hardiest of all the Abutilons, forming somewhat lax shrubs to 4' and an insanely long progression of yellow flowers attended by inflated red calyxes. Consider planting at the base of sturdier garden components to allow this to scramble upwards through the framework. Full sun and draining soils is best. | d4 | 15 |
| Callianthe ‘Moonlight Magic’ | d4 | 12 | |
| Callianthe Windcliff Dark Pink | A lovely and hardy selection of Flowering Maple with rich pink flowers, produced throughout the summer into autumn. Hardy and durable. Full sun in draining soils. | d4 | 10 |
| Callianthe Windcliff Silver Pink | Select seedling from Windcliff with very pretty cups of pink flowers surfaced with a silvered patina. A shrub or subshrub to 4’, producing flowers throughout the summer into autumn. Full sun and draining soils. | d4 | 10 |
| Callianthe Windcliff White | A vigorous seedling selected here for its large, pure and pristine white bells produced throughout summer amidst stems carrying dark green 'maple-like' foliage. Hardy in the open ground in zones 8 or above, in full sun and draining soils- though with a bit of extra water during the driest months. Poifect for containers. 5' | d4 | 10 |
| Callianthe ‘Yanza‘ | A zappy and zingy cherry red, very hardy selection of Flowering Maple shared with us by Vanca Lumsden some years ago and still tickin at both Heronswood as well as Windcliff. Full sun and draining soils important in promoting hardiness. <4'. | d4 | 12 |
| Calocedrus nmacrolepis | gal | 18 | |
| Calycanthus x raulstonii ‘Hartlege Wine’ | One of the earliest hybrid Carolina Allspice ( x C. chinensis ), with a very long display of red Magnolia-like flowers on a deciduous frramework to 8' x 6', superb in a light shaded position in any draining soil. Can be easily pruned to restrict size | d4 | 18 |
| Calycanthus x raulstonii ‘Venus’ | A Tom Ranney hybrid with quantities of large creamy white flowers with the slightest blush of pink on a deciduous framework to 8' x 6', for bright positions or full sun in any draning soils. _x000B__x000B_ | d4 | 22.5 |
| Camellia oleifera DJHH 14227 | The Camellia of 'Tea Oil', this has been so long cultivated in China it is unlikely that my collection of this, in the wilds of Hubei Province, was truly of its original provenance. None the less, a lovely and hardy species with clean white single flowers produced in winter on a 12' framework. Light shade is best. | d4 | 18 |
| Camellia sinensis ‘Gold Splash’ | Brought from Japan years ago, the brightly splashed foliage of this 'tea' is reason enough to grow it. Autumn 'camellias' of white seal the deal. Partial shade. | d2 | 18 |
| Camellia sinensis ‘Variegata’ | A Japanese wonder acquired while visiting nurseries in Japan and at the moment wondering why. After 20 years of having people ask what that handsome, sturdy, evergreen autumn blossoming plant is, you realize that you were really not insane to buy it for 50 million yen, fly it back, nurse it to heath, grow it to size and then propagate and offer it for sale for twelve bucks. Don't worry about me. Bright shade. | d4 | 12 |
| Cardamine heptaphylla | One of the ‘refined’ and still extremely uncommon, forming ephemerally minded stems to 10” capped by heads of pinkish white flowers. Still, one of the best of spring risers. Partial shade, best, in draining, cool soils. | d2 | 8 |
| Cardamine kitaibelii | Though I received this plant under this name from a nursery in England, I believe this to be an intergrade between C. kitaibellii and C. pentaphylos, forming dense mounds of narrow foliage to 18” capped by very pretty soft pink four-petaled flowers in mid-spring, for light shade in any draining soils. A decided 'non-self-sower' in our garden and very worthy addition to the woodland palette. | d2 | 12 |
| Cardamine quinquefolia | Lovely spreading vigorous colonies of relatively large purple flowers on scapes to 10” in earliest spring, for sun or shade. Delightful spreader but not self sowing, foliage vanishes by early summer. Ideally used beneath deciduous shrubs for early spring interest. | d2 | 10 |
| Cardamine trifolia | An indispensable evergreen ground cover forming low, slowly spreading, weed smothering mats of dark green foliage and clean white flowers in late winter rising to 5”. Self cleansing. Partial shade in evenly moist, draining soil. A Top Ten. | d2 | 8 |
| Cardiandra amamiohsimensis | If you have a few minutes to spare, ask me about the drama and anxiety I went through to get this back to the USA; its route includes China-Netherlands-England-Netherlands-Seattle. It is considered the most beautiful of the genus, with Hydrangea-like flowers, to which it is closely related, atop wiry stems to 15”, for light shade and humus rich soils. Charming! | d2 | 12 |
| Cardiandra moellendorfii | If you have a few minutes to spare, ask me about the drama and anxiety I went through to get this back to the USA; its route includes China-Netherlands-England-Netherlands-Seattle. It is considered the most beautiful of the genus, with Hydrangea-like flowers, to which it is closely related, atop wiry stems to 15”, for light shade and humus rich soils. Charming! | d2 | 15 |
| Cardiocrinum cathayanum | A very rare member of the genus Cardiocrinum in Liliputian scale comparatively with, after 2-4 seasons of growing negatively, produces flowering stems to 3' or less, carrying 8” lilies with a decidedly square appearance. These do persist in the garden though they should be lifted and transplanted on a regular basis to increase vigor. Light shade in hummus rich soils. | d1 | 8 |

| Cardiocrinum giganteum var. yunnanense DJHG 11139 | From the Leigongshan in Guizhou Province in 2011, representing the best we have seen of this species, with up to 2X the number of purple centered white lilies atop 15' stems than we have ever had produced on any other collection. Humus rich soils, even moisture. | d1 | 12 |

Humus rich soils, even moisture. | gal | 22.5 |
| Carex cumberlandensis ‘Jacksboro’ | Forming a tight 10" tall x 2' wide evergreen clump looking a doppelgänger to Liriope, great in mass or as a solitary specimen, this Tony Avent collection from Alabama, for shade or light shade, drought tolerant when fully established. _x000B__x000B_ | d2 | 12 |
| Carex plataginea | An east coast woodlander that inhabited the woodlands of my childhood haunts, the seersucker sedge has broad, pleated foliage forming a handsome rosette while the airy golden cream 'flowers' on 1' stems belie the identity its plantar-like foliage attempts to conceal. Awesome for dry shade and good texture. | d4 | 12 |
| Carex scaposa DJHV 2304 | Collected from Vietnam in 2003, this beefy, wide-bladed sedge sets itself apart by late summer/early summer flowers of an arresting pink, quite unlike any sedge, for partially shaded sites in moist, humus rich soils. | d4 | 15 |
| Cassia x Ozothamnus | A beautiful, evergreen, drought tolerant bigeneric hybrid carrying finely textured gray foliage and pink buttons of flower buds opening to white daisies in early summer. Though to 4' over time, it is very adaptive to severe pruning when needed. Fullest of sun, most draining of soils. | d2 | 12 |
| Cautleya cathcartii | An early flowering Cautleya, weeks before C. gracilis and C. spicata, forming leafy gingery stems to 2' and red-bracted, butterscotch colored flowers in terminal clusters in early May, perfect to extend the season of the hardy Zingibers in any border devoted to saucy colors.

Spectacular towering stems carrying white tubular flowers in late summer will be produced on occasion. | d1 | 8 |
| Holboellia aff. angustifolia DJHC 0481 | More akin to the first Holboellia that I grew, light years ago, before smitten by the genus (and certainly less confused by it). Under the name of H. fargesii, its very narrow and deep green leaflets are distinctive and texturally outstanding. White flowers with fragrance in late winter dependably result in large fruit; seemingly self fertile. From Sichuan Province in 2000 and long admired on our fence by our neighbors; I have not seen it in years. | gal | 25 |

| Hydrangea aspera DJHG 11030 | The more I learn about the complexities of H. aspera, the less I seem to know. But of this much I am certain. This ‘form’, or ’subspecies’ of Hydrangea is one of the best I have grown. With bright red petioles and new growth possessing a silvery sheen, the large bicolor lavender and white lace caps almost seem to be an afterthought. Best if full sun or bright shade, in draining yet evenly moist soils. | gal | 25 |

Far from demure, this produces a 15' x 15' shrub when mature, in bright shaded positions and evenly moist soils. | gal | 18 |
| Hydrangea aspera ssp. sargentiana | Not 'rediscovered' in the wild since originally introduced, its immense velvety leaves and bristly stems, with large heads of rich purple flowers surrounded by white sterile florets, make it one of the most desirable of all Hydrangeas. Ultimately to 15', planting in groups of 3-5 make for a more multi-stemmed and interesting specimen. Beheading shrub for first 3 years. | gal | 37 |
| Hydrangea aspera ssp. strigosa_x000B_‘Elegant Sound Pavillion’ | ‘Elegant Sound Pavillion’_x000B_My collection of a mophead' form from the slopes of Mt. Emei in 1998. Enormous flowers appear late, open to chartreuse, then ivory with pink overtones, and fading once again to chartreuse.

Expecting bicolor lavender/cream flowers, however as these are unblossomed seedlings, we want anything particularly good back to our garden. We will charge you only a rental fee for the time you have it. | d4 | 18 |
| Hydrangea chinensis DJHT 7041 'Taiwan Charmer' | Our first time offering of this little understood taxa, collected by seed in 2007 from C. Taiwan, and representing a highly confused Hydrangea species (mostly because Taiwanese and Japanese botanists are caught within a political firestorm). Most would not identify this shrub as a Hydrangea in flower, however there is no doubt while in flower, with lovely large white lacecaps in mid-summer. Of the numerous seedlings I grew from my collections, this has proven to represent the best, with large corymbs of flowers, and deserves a cultivar name. | d4 | 15 |
| Hydrangea heteromala DJHM 13061 | From near the top of Phonga Razi in northern Myanmar, we've been intrigued by the stunning red petioles of this collection, rare in cultivation. The first flowers this year show large heads of ivorine-colored sterile bracts that nod gracefully downward as they age.
