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 during garden opens at Windcliff throughout the year, or in 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. We do not produce in large quantities, so please check regarding availability before your visit.

A decided 'non-self-sower' in our garden and very worthy addition to the woodland palette. | d2 | $12.00 |

A little light, a little shade, in cool, moist soil. Collected in Sichuan Province in 1996 and present in the PNW ever since. | d2 | $15.00 |
| Triosteum pinnatifidum | Long lived, durable and, well, fruity. This herbacous perennial for shade possesses deeply lobed leaves appearing much like a Hydrangea quercifolia, while rather quite terminal flowers in mid summer result in large, showy white berries throughout late summer and early autumn. One of those rarieties of the honeysuckle family that disappears for the off season. | d4 | $12.00 |
| Trochodendron aralioides ‘Big Bertha’ | To our knowledge, the only named selection of the wheel tree, this from collections of the Taiwanese form of this species made in 2007.

An ideal selection for a distinctive hedge or screen, for light shade or full sun. | d4 | $18.00 |

Large white lace caps late winter before the uber large rounded leaves appear along a tidy tiered framework, transitioning in autumn to a panoply of oranges and reds. The fruit in large clusters, first yellow, then red and ripening to glistening black. Full sun and draining soils but even moisture. Ultimately to 10'. Insanely good. | gal | $25.00 |
| Viburnum furcatum ex Pink Seedlings | Seedlings raised from a rare pink flowered form of one of the most acceptable and inexplicably rare species of Viburnum, with bold rounded foliage and large lacy heads of (pink) flowers opening in February. Based on the degree of pigment in the foliage of these 4 year old plants, I am reasonably comfortable in believing they will be pink in flower. If they are REALLY pink, you must return this purchase to me post haste. Full sun or light shade ok. Utterly fantastic | gal | $32.50 |
| Viburnum setigerum DJHG 11037 | Though very widespread throughout W. China, this species remains all too rare in cultivation.
