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. With some exceptions, a wholesale quantity discount is available on limited items for legitimate businesses.
You can make an appointment to visit our garden and nursery. We do not produce in large quantities, so please check regarding availability before your visit. See events for other plant shopping opportunities.

A superb container plant provided some shelter from direct sun and even moisture | d4 | $18.00 |
| Berberis replicata DJHC 98336 | The correct name, we believe, for this sturdy and handsome species from Yunnan in 1998, forming glossy, deep (ever)green mounds to 3.5' and pretty racemes of yellow flowers in mid-spring.

| 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.

| Bursaria spinosa | Extremely rare Tasmanian evergreen shrub related to Pittosporum with tiny shiny foliage and (as expected) spined, not angry, stems rising to 4' x 2'.

| 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 | $15.00 |
| 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 | $15.00 |
| Callianthe ‘Sink Pink‘ | Selection from a lovely, sturdy seedling appearing quite on its own directly outside the window of our kitchen providing a dazzlement of rich pink flowers and much entertainment while washing dishes as the hummingbirds too find this irresistible.

| 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. | gal | $27.50 |
| Camellia pitardii var. yunnanensis DJHC 98303 | With most uncamellia-like foliage of light texture held on an 8' upright framework, a sensational plentitude of large, single white flowers with a central boss of golden stamens, much more like Papaveraceae than Theacease (conversations in the tea room at the botany department). Light shade seemingly best and draining soils. | gal | $32.50 |
| 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 | $12.00 |
| Canna indica | Though both species and common names would imply this is from the Indian Subcontinent where it is indeed widely cultivated for its edible tubers, this Central/South American species is bold, handsome and carefree. Fully hardy in the ground, rises to over 6' while in blossom, with bright green banana-fanna-bo-banna leaves and bright red flowers resulting in spiny red fruit, full sun and evenly moist soil. A favorite amongst visitors to the garden at Windcliff. | gal | $22.50 |

Light shade | d4 | $15.00 |
| 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 | $8.00 |
| 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 | $12.00 |
| Cardamine quinquefolia | Lovely spreading vigorous colonies of relatively large purple flowers on scapes to 10” in earliest spring, for sun or shade.

| 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 | $15.00 |
