81868 FALLOPIA JAPONICUM TRICOLOR POLYG HT HH PRICE: $ 6.75 Yinger introduced this to our gardens (and we will never be able to forget): a quite remarkable clumping (sometimes wandering) member of the Buckwheats with new growth emerging coral in the spring to reach a five foot stature with leaves boldly splashed white, brilliant pink, bronze-green and emerald much valued for Ikebana. The emerging fat bronzy pink stalks in the spring are among the most astounding sight in the world of decorative horticulture--every year visitors to the gardens here take endless photos of this phenomenon of seemingly giant steroidal hot pink Asparagus stalks spearing up out of the soil. Remember that this is a big boned gal--do not plant this near any delicate modest lass in your beds as 'Tricolor' will win the battle for space. Do we love it? Of course, we love it.

40272 FICUS CARICA MOTTLED STEM MOR HH CGH PRICE: $ 22.00 "Edible Fig" This selection is the traditional famous Japanese clone with striped stems on new growth and initially mottled leaves soon fading to green. Used in Asia as a laxative and as a wart remover; a traditional fruit in most subtropical areas of the world. Not a clone which can be considered reliably winter hardy in our climate--although will reach massive proportions in the deep South. If you expect this to be highly variegated, please do not order--this is an heirloom Japanese cultivar from Japanese collectors. Some customers in hot areas of California cannot get good striping on new stems. If your interests are in a fruit crop, please buy 'Brown Turkey' which we do offer from time to time. Notice the second picture which shows a high color form that we are starting to propagate. It hopefully will be available next year, 2013.

71233 FORSYTHIA FIESTA OLE HT PRICE: $ 5.75 Each thick leaf flaunts a rich golden flame-patterned center so that the heavily folaged arching stems appear to be in bloom all summer, long after the early major show of thickly clustered acid yellow blossoms. Maintaining a rounded compact outline, this excellent shrub is lacking the open, somewhat irregular outline of most Forsythias. This distinctively compact heavily foliaged habit with attractive variegation insures the continuing popularity of this high performance hybrid.

70889 FORSYTHIA INTERMEDIA GOLDEN LEAF OLE HT PRICE: $ 10.00 Emerging acid lime-colored leaves turn a bright gold as they harden; best summer color in partial shade. Distributed by Arnold Arboretum.

71726 FORSYTHIA INTERMEDIA GOLDEN TIMES OLE HT PRICE: $6.75 After the early show of primrose yellow flowers in their multitudes, lovely golden bordered foliage emerges for full season interest. Very bold easily grown cultivar--we consider this the best and least demanding of the brightly variegated clones--the golden variegation is so bright that visitors mistake this (viewed from a distance) as a summer shrub in full bloom.

70188 FORSYTHIA INTERMEDIA SPRING GLORY VARIEGATA OLE PRICE: $ 6.25 Random yellow to creamy lime variegation on foliage; hybrid of F. suspensa x viridissima with profuse large yellow flowers, thus called "Variegated Golden Bells."

Fabulous. This one lives up to its photos: to see its mosaic designed foliage up close is to need it in your garden. Near first frost the entire foliar display turns orangy copper and dusky burgundy.

80174 FRAGARIA VESCA ALBO-VARIEGATA ROS HP PRICE: $ 12.00 Cultivar of woodlands "Sow-teat Strawberry" with deep green lvs margined white; white fls followed by small pale fruit. Emerald foliage develops crimson blush during winter. Great plant for the variegation fanatic.
