80191 HAKONECHLOA MACRA AUREOLA GRA HT PRICE: $ 8.00 Low Japanese grass with bright yellow-striped leaves. Perfect in any perennial garden; yet also quite willing to glow in any container.

41159 HEDERA HELIX BUTTERCUP ARAL HP HH CGH PRICE: $4.75"Golden English Ivy" Glossy new leaves a bright yellow, fading to a deep leathery green; foliage does not burn in winter unless exposed to constant wind during freezing temps. Also known as `Golden Cloud' in Europe. We must in a sudden fit of honesty observe that this is not an outstandingly good self branching cultivar: you might need to pinch out growing tips or start multiples in order to achieve a blanket effect.

41162 HEDERA HELIX CONGLOMERATA ERECTA GIN HT PRICE: $ 5.00 Nearly triangular, dark green leaves deeply grooved; the unique three-cornered leaves are held rigidly in two ranks on stiff erect stems. Quite Evergreen when used as a shrublet in Zone 6 (our zone). Quite a surprise to many gardeners who do not think of "ivies" including rockery shrubs; even more amusing when planted in a grouping of dwarf conifers.

54050 HEDERA HELIX CYRANO DE BERGERACS ARAL HP HH HT PRICE: $ 3.75Dark large leaves with attractive veining and one very long "Nose" of a central lobe! Fast growing and most willing to create a "shingle" effect as indicated by the photo here, taken along our alley of this cultivar colonizing the trunk of a young "Dawn Redwood" tree.

55550 HEDERA HELIX FINGER FROTH ARAL HP HH HT PRICE: $ 3.50Conspicuously veined down-curved fat pointed fingers are slightly furled on ascending stems. This sport of 'Filigran' has become so popular with our customers for its shrubby leathery winter-proof nature that it deserved a name.

41173 HEDERA HELIX GOLD HEART ARAL HP CGH HH PRICE: $ 5.25Small black-green leaves centered yellow; this is an unusually winter tolerant variety, surviving in Michigan. Will NOT branch unless nipped--thus will always remain a novelty in the garden; any reversions must be pruned out immediately for they will overtake the much slower growing variegated section. Usually is known in England as `Golden Jubilee' & in Europe as 'Oro di Bogliasco.'

55613 HEDERA HELIX HENRIETTE ARAL HH HT HP PRICE: $ 7.25 See 1995 Ivy Jorunal, Vol 21, pp 19. Heavily textured tiny elongated leaves richly dappled white & blond; fabulous slow growing dwarf popular with the bonsai crowd. Tends to send out longish runners which then eventually send out multiple side stems with the fetchingly dappled foliage; tolerates an outdoor winter in our zone if located out of winter wind combined with winter sun. Quite fetching when included in a trough garden design; quite remarkable when pinned down in a moss topiary.

41183 HEDERA HELIX KOLIBRI ARAL HP CGH HH PRICE: $ 3.00 Silver-white and slate-gray flecked with emerald enameled on compact leathery leaves--slow growing initially but strong and fabulous in the finish. Beautiful "Hummingbird Ivy" noted for unusually strong contrast of dark flecks on snowy white. Always the first Ivy to catch our customers' eyes--and the initial aquisition of many an Ivy collection! Do not plant where it will encounter strong winter sun.

41187 HEDERA HELIX MANDA'S CRESTED ARAL HP HH PRICE: $ 3.50Large very curled, fluted lobes; fast, easy grower quite effective as a large hanging basket subject. An early escapee into the gardens here--it has become a vast elegantly wavy richly toned groundcover under a stand of rare conifers--little if any winter burn occurs unless a stray vine decides (in a fit of poor judgement) to clamber up a trunk.

41399 HEDERA HELIX SPETCHLEY ARAL HT CGH HP PRICE: $ 3.00"Gnome Ivy" Very tiny triangular-arrowhead leaves of blackish- green on slim dark stems, maroon when young, heading in very straight lines, but branching at most nodes; very winter hardy selection from Spetchley Park in England. Certainly the aristrocrat of winter hardy ground and wall covers. We have never observed any winter burn on this purplish toned beauty.

41860 HEDERA HELIX THORNDALE ARAL HT CGH PRICE: $ 4.00 Lustrous large deep green leaves--popular outdoor groundcover. Best choice for our climate, maintaining a deep rich color all winter with very minor wind burn. Most vigorous; the choice of landscape designers in northern climes.

41221 HEDERA HELIX TRIDENT [TRITON] ARAL HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.75 Thickly veined elongated leaves with spear lobes--formerly offered as H. h. 'Monstrose'. The "Bamboo-leaved Ivy" as the conspicuous raised veins run parallel until they reach the tips of the long twisted lobes. Unique and typically tolerating considerable winter cold.

54504 HEDERA HELIX WILLIE ARAL HP CGH PRICE: $ 5.75 Girard Nursery's name for this sophisticated "Bonsai Ivy" with each deeply cut leathery leaf segment (typically 5) entwined short stems studded with foliaged spur growths, thus popular as a tiny-featured hardy carpeter--but not prostrate like 'Spetchley.' Very small tuffets develop--thus a terarium favorite as well.

66732 HEDERA HELIX ZEBRA ARAL CGH HH PRICE: $ 3.75 Stout stems hold thick textured glaucous green cupped leaves liberally streaked with cream. Although a bit reluctant to self-branch, still a dramatic cascading very variegated choice for a hanging basket indoors; furthermore, this dramatic heavily textured showoff has been quite winter tolerant outdoors for us for the last dozen years, being the only clone with this much white on the leaf surface not seriously affected by winter burn.

53132 HEDYCHIUM DR. MOY [BRUSHSTROKES] ZIN HH CGH PRICE: $ 12.00 Hybrid of H. coccinea x cornarium with scented salmon orchid mimic blossom clusters tipping this "Hyperwarp Ginger" plant's tall stalks which are sheathed by white paint splashed coppery leaves. From Dr. Moy of San Antonio Bot. Gardens. Once established, this tropical appearing ginger has proved winter hardy here with careful winter protection; better considered a stunning (and evergreen) container plant north of Zone 6b or lift and store the thick succulent tubers as you would your Cannas.

40336 HELICHRYSUM THIANSHCANICUM ICICLES COMP CGH HP PRICE: $ 4.25 Clumps of narrow soft silvery-white leaves thickly clustered on the woody upright clustering stems; excellent in containers especially showy in the winter greenhouse. Foliage intensity can diminish if atmosphere is too humid. Has proven winter hardy in Zb6 if given excellent drainage and full sun.

81125 HELLEBORUS FOETIDUS RAN HT PRICE: $ 8.50 Evergreen deeply fingered perennial leathery leaves; green flowers start opening here mid-winter when the gardener most needs a new blossom to emerge. In our climate prefers a well drained situation with high shade--grows to perfection even among the surface roots of aged maples.

81366 HEMEROCALLIS ALTISSIMA LIL HT PRICE: $ 15.00 "Chinese Daylily" Very tall six foot stalks present modest rusty yellow flowers with a distinct pastel umber zone on each slim petal; somewhat fragrant at night-- blooms into September. Distinct species. [We offer hybrids at the nursery--especially dwarf rebloomers]

70817 HEPTACODIUM MICONIOIDES [JASMINOIDES] CAP HP PRICE: $ 18.00 Rare honeysuckle relative with jasmine-like fragrant flowers in August to late September. Seed capsules are pink bronze and quite lovely. Native to Chekiang Province in China at 3,000 feet. It will grow to 18 feet. Introduced in 1980. Wonderful exfoliating bark is especially wonderful to view during the winter. Thus truely a four season interest plant with no insect or disease problems. Especially valuable in a small garden which needs a focal woody plant, but with a space too limited to accomodate a tree.

88755 HEUCHERA CROWN JEWEL [HYB] SAX HT PRICE: $5.00Not just another in an already crowded field for this very compact hybrid sailed through several terrible torrid summers here nonchalantly sending up wee "Foamflower"clouds of pinked chartreuse flowers over heavy scalloped pewter leaves with a chocolate bronze mask of radiating veins. Many other hybrids did not sail through so well. Compact mounding habit as well as foliage ruffled and elaborately desingned in metalic silver! Tolerates southern summers better than many new hybrids.

80211 HEUCHERA SNOW ANGEL SAX HT PRICE: $ 6.75Heat tolerant dwarf rosettes of very colorful variegated foliage, pertly scalloped; good in rockery & containers.

83222 HEUCHERA SILVER SCROLLS [HYB] SAX HT PRICE: $ 6.75 Extraordinary breakthrough for metallic patterned "Coral Bells" with rounded, widely scalloped leaves a stunning pewter silver marked with a scroll work of dark veining; quickly forms a clump topped with pink toned flowers; Charles Oliver hybrid.

Hardy Hibiscus for the 2008 SEASON

Hardy Hibiscus for 2004

81535 HIBISCUS BLUE RIVER II [HYB] MAL HT PRICE: $ 12.00 Winter's hybrid with 4' plus tall stalks producing pure white blossoms up to 15" across. Full sun, wet soils. Remarkable show--best to situate in a spot in your garden close to a path as visitors are so awed by this in bloom that they will trample over anything in order to hold and view a blossom face to face--no amount of signage, of large open bear traps, or cries from you will be effective in altering this immediate automatic response.

72100 HIBISCUS FLARE RED MOR HT PRICE: $ 8.00 Strong 4' clumping hardy hibiscus with giant flaming red blossoms with same saturation as 'Lord Baltimore' but the petals overlap to form a perfect circle and, as it is sterile, blooms until frost; even known to be alkaline tolerant if in a consistently moist site.

88903 HIBISCUS KOPPER KING MAL HT PRICE: $ 12.00 Herbaceous 40 inch tall "Rosemallow" stems cloaked with dark copper burgundy maple shaped leaves and topped with large pale shell pink to white flowers with carmine eyes bleeding into the veins. Stunning. Flemming brothers creation, PP#10793

41886 HIBISCUS LOHENGRIN [HYB] MALV HT PRICE: $ 5.25 [H. paramutabilis x syriacus] Dark green maple-like leaves on woody shrubs blooming from July to frost with pure white flowers with wide carmine eye. Makes a handsome full shrub (with ambitions to become a hibiscus tree as stems are typically not damaged even in sub-zero winters) in our climate with longest blooming season of any caulescent Hibiscus--a larger stature and far longer bloom season than its "Rose of Sharon" parent.

41768 HIBISCUS MOY GRANDE MALV HT PRICE: $ 8.00 Strong growing hardy hybrid with giant rose red with pinkish lavender sheened 14" across blossoms over the strong 6' stems and clean, dark foliage; a wet planting site (even in alkaline soil) will encourage it to produce what are considred the largest blossom of its tribe! A H. grandiflorus x mocheutos hybrid from Ying Doon Moy at the San Antonio Botanic Garden.

72800 HIBISCUS SYRIACUS HILLIS VARIEGATED MISS JILENE PPAF MAL HT PRICE: $ 25.00 "Miss Jilene Rose of Sharon" A fabulous introduction from Hillis Nursery in McMinnville. Elongated deeply lobed leaves are broadly margined bright white, perfect with the white Hibiscus blossoms with their carmine eyes. Plant Patent Applied For.

71196 HIBISCUS SYRIACUS PURPURATUS VARIEGATUS MAL HT PRICE: $ 18.50 White bordered foliage; double red-maroon blossoms never quite open completely, remaining very dark "Chocolate Bonbons" to give a very unique appearance. From UNCR distribution; not vigorous, but certainly a curiosity

70945 HIBISCUS SYRIACUS WOODBRIDGE MAL HT PRICE: $ 7.50 "Rose of Sharon" selection with rich deep rose red flowers accented with crimson eyes. Very distinct color.

89221 HIBISCUS SYRIACUS WOODBRIDGE SEEDLING MAL HT PRICE: $ 3.50 "Rose of Sharon" selection with rich deep rose red flowers accented with crimson eyes. Very distinct color. We are currently offering seedlings from this selection at a low price for the cautious beginner, or the collector who wants to take a chance on a new color. Pictures are the same as above because these are a year old but have not bloomed.

41767 HIBISCUS SYRIACUS WHITE WITH SCARLET EYE PRICE: $ 8.50 This selection of "Rose of Sharon" sports unusually large frilly white flowers with very dramatic scarlet red centers. Heavy bloomer, vitorous grower. A random seedling here which outperforms the named cultivars (such as 'Helene') without fail every season.

70789 HIBISCUS TOSCA [HYB] MALV HT PRICE: $ 5.25 [H. paramutabilis x syriacus] Ruffled orchid to magenta flowers (much larger than its "Rose of Sharon" parent) with dramatic carmine eye; blooming heavily on dark foliaged woody shrub until frost--this Jim Snyder selection often emerges in very chill springs with faintly variegated leaves.

89010 HIERACIUM MACULATUM CHOCOLATE DIP COMP HT PRICE: $ 6.75 Celebrate an improved strain of our favorite weed, the most elaborately patterned "Devil's Paintbrush" with same scented yellow brush flowers, but amazing glaucous wide leaves brilliantly splashed with mahogany chocolate. Superb in combonations.

PRICE: $32.00 .

81993 HOSTA VENUSTA LIL HT PRICE: $ 7.25 Delicate appearing mound--extremely tidy--of bright small leaves on winged petioles; lilac flowers. Small enough for use in a trough.

80245 HOUTTUYNIA CORDATA CHAMELEON [VARIEGATA] SAU HT PRICE: $ 4.25 "Cameleon Plant" Branched stems with leaves of pink, yellow, ochre, and violet--as well as bronze-red if grown in sun; modest white-bracted flower spikes. Outstanding foot tall ornamental perennial. Orange-scented Asian herb which is extremely invasive if situated in an area with moist soil and full sun.

80246 HOUTTUYNIA CORDATA MAHOGANY SAU HT PRICE: $ 2.75 Ivory-bracted fls over deeply toned highly pungent purplish mahogany blushed heartlike foliage--these spicy leaves are much prized in Asian cooking as 'Doku-dami' and 'Giap ca' for orange-coriander aroma.

71486 HUMULUS LUPULUS AUREUS CANNAB HT PRICE: $ 8.00 "Golden Hops" Brilliantly foliaged vine belonging to the Cannabaceae; winter hardy for us--but remember to be patient as this is very late to emerge in the spring. This is the clone from the U.S. Botanic Garden.

70201 HYDRANGEA MACROPHYLLA MARIESII VARIEGATA SAX HT PRICE: $ 5.00 "Variegated Hortensia" Fleshy stems present wide white and slate-gray margined leaves--deciduous in north, evergreen in south or in greenhouse; flat-topped inflorescenceorescenceorescence cluster of palest pink flowers turning blue if soil is acid. Striking.

71555 HYDRANGEA QUERCIFOLIA SIKES DWARF SAX HT PRICE: $ 12.00 Dwarf form of our excellent "Oak Leaf Hydrangea" easily grown even in dryish shade; however, in a happier setting, this stout many-branched shrub will display thick clusters of fading blossoms over decorative colorful foliage.

71423 HYDRANGEA QUERCIFOLIA SNOW QUEEN SAX HT CGH PRICE: $ 8.50 An 'Oakleaf Hydrangea' selection with large panicles of white flowers appearing in July which gradually turn pink as the summer passes, to eventually turn parchment tones over the brilliant deep reddish copper fall foliage.

72799 HYDRANGEA SERRATA GOLDEN SUNLIGHT PPAP SAX HT PRICE: $ 10.00 "Variegated Korean Hydrangea" Woody purple stained stems are cloaked with yellow sawtooth leaves gradually aging to pale chartreuse, then aqua green.

88708 HYDROCOTYLE BONARIENSIS UMB HT HH CGH PRICE: $ 4.00 Rounded peltate leaves up to 3 inches across; showy candelabraa of modest flowers. In bog conditions in full sun this will quickly form a glossy carpet of big scalloped coin leaves held above the water level. Great visually and great for spawning fingerlings. Sometimes offered as H. vulgaris.

88576 HYDROCOTYLE SIEBOLDII CRYSTAL CONFETTI UMB HH PRICE: $ 8.00 Remarkably beautiful VERY low growing "White Edged Navelwort" with every tiny serrated kidney leaf brightly margined. A winnining new groundcover for which a round of applause for Barry Yinger is richly due. While newly popular as cascading "vine" for hanging baskets and windowboxes, giving a lacy gold and cream froth effect, this is happiest in a bog with constantly wet feet.

70607 HYPERICUM MOSERIANUM TRICOLOR HYP HT PRICE: $ 8.50 AVAILABLE AGAIN! A tufted short sport of "Moser's St. Johnswort" (patulum x calycinum) with 2" lvs variegated white rose-pink and green on reddish shoots; overlapping golden petals with central tuft of pinkish stamens. Very beautiful root hardy plant.

71094 ILEX AQUIFOLIUM AUREO-MARGINATA AQU HH HT PRICE: $ 15.00 "Margined English Holly" Beautiful glossy spined leaves, each brightlymargined creamy white. The winter hardiness depends on site: avoid winter winds and full winter sun in zones 7a or above, or this beauty will perish.

70693 ILEX SERRATA X VERTICILATA SPARKLEBERRY AQU HT PRICE: $ 8.00 Multi-stemmed female with persistent red Winter fruit; new foliage emerges purple-hued, turns gold in Fall--deciduous leaves fall to emphasize the abundant bright berries, so very dramatic against the nearly black bark.

41921 INDOCALAMUS [SASA] TESSELLATUS GRA HT PRICE: $ 32.50 Zone 6 Bamboo with shoulder-high deeply and elegantly arching canes cloaked with nearly 2' long tessellate leaves with serrate edges and faintly glaucous undersides--Chinese "Tea Wrapper Bamboo" good in containers: thus "Tsutsumi ocha-zasa" in bonsai use. Reputedly the widest leaf blade of any Bamboo species; stunning in the display garden here.

80789 IRIS ENSATA SPONTANEA VARIEGATA IRI HT PRICE: $ 25.00 "Striped Sword Iris" Japanese cultivar of this moisture loving species with glaucous erect lance leaves striped with broad non-fading white bands; wide dusky plum purple velvety flowers match perfectly. Outstanding as specimen plant happiest in a boggy site; seemingly disease resistant.
81000 IRIS LAEVIGATA VARIEGATA BLUE FLOWER IRI HT HH PRICE: $ 15.00 Mid-spring elegant blue blossoms over the fans of broadly white-banded foliage; needs to be slightly submerged to thrive. Sent as mossed roots.
80256 IRIS PALLIDA AUREO-VARIEGATA IRI HT CGH PRICE: $ 12.50 "Gold Variegated Orris Root" Cream-yellow banded leaves--quite typically margined inner side only; with grape scented lilac blue blossoms. Keep perfectly drained and expect the striking foliage to be summer dormant in hot climates.

80255 IRIS PALLIDA VARIEGATA IRI HT CGH PRICE: $ 12.50 "Variegated Orris Root" Cream-ivory banded leaves--quite typically white margined inner side only; with grape scented lilac blue blossoms. Keep perfectly drained and expect the striking foliage to be summer dormant in hot climates.

88501 IRIS PSEUDACORUS CITRINA [HORT] IRI HT PRICE: $ 4.00 Seedlings of this pale pastel lemon form of the ever popular vigorous "Yellow Flag" which is happiest in bog conditions, or even on the pool's edge.

80260IRIS PUMILA BLUE ECHO IRI HT PRICE: $ 4.50 Deep blue flowers. Caution: our winters in Ohio are often too mild to set buds. Needs perfect drainage, thus a natural for the rock garden.

81586 IRIS SIBERICA GULL'S WING IRI HT PRICE: $ 4.50Considered the best "White Siberian Iris" by iris fans with attractive blue green foliage which perfectly compliments the large lightly ruffled ivory blossoms which are heavily substanced and thus rain resistent.

80794 IRIS VERSICOLOR GERALD DARBY IRI HT PRICE: $ 15.00 Odd selection of "Poison Flag" or "Wild Blue Flag". Glaucous three foot tall leaf fans emerge a deep purple black in the cold spring bog water (semi aquatic); the deep violet hued Iris blossoms are designed in yellow and lime. Impressive.

42025 JASMINUM BEESIANUM OLE CGH HH PRICE: $ 6.00 "Rose Jasmine" from Western China. Zone 7 clambering vine with sharply pointed lance leaflets and petite clusters dark rosy pink fragrant blossoms--but must have chill fall and winter in order to initiate the flower buds. Must have full sunlight to perform well. Happy here clambering around in and escaping out of the deep coldframes.

40418 JASMINUM NUDIFLORUM OLE HH CGH PRICE: $ 4.00 "Hardy Chinese Jasmine" Yellow odorless tubular blossoms appear in clusters along the rush like twigs of this small elegant shrub from late winter on through March. "Pinwheel Jasmine" is hardy here, typically starting the long bloom period mid February unless the winter has been quite mild (it has bloomed in January a few times). Named nudiflorum because these blossoms appear on the nude arched branchlets before the dusky polished three-part leaves appear in the spring. A distant cousin of the much larger Forsythia tribe, this can really confuse gardening friends inspecting this remarkable creature in your garden.

40419 JASMINUM NUDIFLORUM MYSTIQUE OLE HT CGH PRICE: $ 18.00Tiny trilobed leathery leaves variegated white; rare Japanese form of this "Hardy Chinese Jasmine" producing yellow tubular flowers along the deciduous stems throughout the winter. Hardy for us in Zone 6b. From Brookside Gardens.

88809 JUNCUS EFFUSUS GOLD STRIKE JUN HT PRICE: $ 10.00 Rare "Striped Japanese Rush" with stiff rigid spine-leaves with gold tones; good vertical accent in your bog garden or shallow pond (although does well as a regular container plant for us). This a very slow growing selection of Jim Price.

80604 JUNCUS EFFUSUS JUN HT HH PRICE: $ 15.00 "Corkscrew Rush" Spirally twisted stems reaching several feet if they were stretched out of their coils. Prefers aquatic conditions; astounding accent in a group of container plant gardens with the coiled glossy spirals making an astounding design statement.

54523 JUNCUS PATENS CARMENS' GRAY JUN HT PRICE: $ 7.75 Stout erect stems topped with toppling explosions of grassy short bronzy decorative seedheads; compact aquatic for full sun pools; good in undrained pots where its stiff tightly packed foliage forms a rigid vase shape to great advantage.

70241JUNIPERUS CHINENSIS BLUE POINT VARIEGATED CUP HT PRICE: $ 12.00 Thick irregularly conical form with white patches strrewn among the rich blue-gray foliage. Probably a West Coast name for J.c. 'Stricata Variegata.' Excellent mid-west performer. May not perform as well in the deep south.

71419 JUNIPERUS CHINENSIS OBELISK CUP HT PRICE: $ 6.75 "Monumental Juniper" Grootendorst selection needing no shaping/tripping to form an impressive irregular column of sharply spiny bluish foliage; seldom offered excellent (if dangerous) form.

70991 JUNIPERUS COMMUNIS GOLD CONE CUP HT PRICE: $ 5.25 Very dense, bright gold foliage on columnar shrub. One of the few successful golden fastigate conifers with tight attractive bright yellow foliage for our type climate.

71371 JUNIPERUS COMMUNIS GOLD TOTEM POLE CUP HT PRICE: $ 10.00 Tightly bunched foliage with bright yellow color quite small featured, but fortunately, this "Gold Column Juniper" will quickly become an exclamation point in your rockery or evergreen collection as the growth rate seems faster than that of 'Gold Cone'; beautiful color, dramatic outline.

70238 JUNIPERUS COMMUNIS HIBERNICA CUP HT PRICE: $ 5.50 "Irish Juniper" Narrow columns of densely held bluish-green needles (which don't nod like 'Suecica') Possibly the ancient cultivar, 'Fastigata' --an anceint venerable creature hard to locate in the current world of "new, exciting" cultivars. This is the one you see in ancient gardens in English movies.

70248 JUNIPERUS COMMUNIS SUECICA PENCIL POINT CUP HT PRICE: $ 5.75 "Swedish Juniper" Tightly compressed column with just slightly nodding branch-tips of bluish-green prickly leaves. Scandanavian native--so this dramatic exclamation point in your garden can survive even the coldest winter blasts. Very narrow visually dramatic selection from Sheridan's Nursery originally introduced as J.c. 'Sentinel'

71139 JUNIPERUS HORIZONTALIS LIMEGLOW CUP HT PRICE: $ 10.00 Beautiful very showy coppery ochre winter coloration on the extremely congested upright blunt foliage of this gradually spreading, low growing selection with upright turned stem tips--very perky habit emphasized especially with the bright acid yellow new spring growth. Oddly, it is bright acid yellow in the spring and richly coppery bronze during the winter--it glows, but not in a very lime fashion. A very rarely found (yet very easily grown if in full sun) sport of "Andorra Juniper" shared long ago by J.C. Raulston. In our climate this uniquely hued gem grows slowly enough to be a successful rockery subject.

70957 JUNIPERUS MEDIA BLAAUW GOLDEN CUP HT PRICE: $ 6.75 Dense compact abbreviated wide column with upturned tips on each branch, thus giving a vase-like effect heightened by the golden scale needles. Must have full sun to achieve bright gold color. We offer the absolutely true form of this highly sought after pure yellow cultivar--this is not the fast growing lime toned form usually found in the nursey trade.

71470 JUNIPERUS MEDIA BLUE AND GOLD CUP HT PRICE: $ 8.75 Beautiful arching fine sprays of bluish foliage richly splashed with golden-cream variegation--why this is not widely available in the nursery trade remains a mystery to us. Excellent form, wider than high with best color during the winter (when it can also shine as a stunning addition to your Christmas wreath). Oddly, the foliage is rather soft to the touch, unlike most Junipers.

70229 JUNIPERUS MEDIA GOLD LACE PP8202 CUP HT PRICE: $ 6.50 "Lemon-tipped Blue Juniper" Blue-green scale-leaves whorled in short arching sprays; shrubby vase eventually--always a marvelous elegant showplant with the richly contrasting soft chrome lemon new foliage gradually maturing to the bluish toned base.

70235 JUNIPERUS MEDIA SHIMPAKU CUP HT PRICE: $ 8.50 "Bonsai Juniper" Dwarf `Plumosa' type with very bunched clusters of needles, thus popular for bonsai use. J.m. `Globosa Cinerea' may be European term for this form which also is interesting in the landscape, creating its own unruly pom pons with abandon.

70289 JUNIPERUS MEDIA SAYBROOK GOLD CUP HT PRICE: $ 6.50 Intense golden foliage throughout the winter-compact.

71054 JUNIPERUS MEDIA SULPHUR SPRAY CUP HT PRICE: $ 12.00 Striking thick foliaged selection with sulphur-cream new growth--very unique color pattern among variegated conifers. Low spreading sport of 'Hetzii' needing more coddling than most Junipers.

70828 JUNIPERUS PROCUMBENS KIYOMI CUP HT PRICE: $ 7.25 Selected form of 'Nana' --In Japanese tradition, the prefered form for bonsai as this cultivar has more bunched needles, slightly upright angled growing tips and an innate love for better living through containerization. Tolerates, even demands a sunny quite exposed site when located in the rock garden.

71260 JUNIPERUS RIGIDA [SUBSP NIPPONICA?] CUP HT PRICE: $ 10.00 A "Needle Juniper" from Eco Gardens developing into a wide very low "dwarved" shrub without leaders; closely placed narrow spiny leaves and extremely articulated bark; an absolutely excellent form for prostrate bonsai styles and an excellent low wide evengreen for the Japanese styled garden-- not the tall J. r. pendula with weeping foliage.

70510 JUNIPERUS SQUAMATA BLUE CARPET CUP HT PRICE: $ 6.50 Densely branched flat foliage with blue-gray needles of J.s. "Meyeri' from which this is a sport. "Single-seed Juniper." Fantastic violet tones emerge with winter chill.

70283 JUNIPERUS SQUAMATA BLUE STAR CUP HT PRICE: $ 5.75 Dense hemispherical dwarf with outreaching steel-blue branches giving a bright star-like appearance.
70284 JUNIPERUS SQUAMATA HOLGER CUP HT CGH PRICE: $ 5.75 Bluish dense foliage accented by yellow-colored new growth. Alleged to be Holger Jensen's hybrid of J. squamata with J. `Pfitzeriana Aurea.' Beautiful open vase shape; good topaz blushed winter color. The two toned colors of spring always ilicit comment from visiting gardeners.

70983 JUNIPERUS VIRGINIANA POYO ['ROYO'?] CUP HT PRICE: $ 6.25 A spreading bluish form of "Red Cedar" with lacy intricate foliage: beautiful silver winter color. Very silver platinum ferny effect if given full sun. Nomenclature still in limbo!

70294 KERRIA JAPONICA PICTA ROS HT PRICE: $ 8.75 "Japanese Rose" Usually K.J. 'Argenteo-variegata.'Compact growing shrub with bright green stems decked with doubly toothed small leaves edged in bright white; clear golden flowers in mid spring. Perfect for rockery backdrop; lacy effect.
