HOUSE & GREENHOUSE PLANTS FOR THE GREENWALL

PERENNIAL GREEN WALL PLANT TYPES

Paradise Under Glass, An Amateur Creates A Conservatory Garden

We find this book, by Ruth Kassinger, a great deal of fun. This is of course because we are mentioned in it. But the Table of contents will give you an idea of the great plants interest that this writer relays to the reader. Ruth Kassinger is a great stylist and you will have on every word. The Table of contents talks about the creating of a plant collection using glass, walls, conservatories, wintergardens and summergardens. She talks about plant hunting, great foliage, ferns, perfect plants, and even invaders! We also like the book because she talks about living walls and terrariums. This book can be purchased in many book stores and, of course, Amazon.com. We have copies on display in our showroom to entice people into the mystic of plant collecting. Ruth spent a day or so with us and we enjoyed her enthusiasm a great deal!

94001 GREEN WALL PLANT COLLECTION STARTER (OUTDOOR) PRICE: $50.00 A collection of plants that are suitable walls, plaques, even roof plantings for greenwall culture. These will thrive planted vertically or at a slant. Often smaller plants or plants that cascade are included. Give us the details of where you wish to plant these items.

30550 ACORUS GRAMINEUS MASAMUNE ARAC HP HT PRICE: $ 3.50 Bright white-striped leaves similar to A.gramineus variegatus--although considered to be more compact and shorter as matures by some collectors.

30004 ACORUS GRAMINEUS TANIMANOYUKI ARAC HP HT PRICE: $ 6.00 Lime-yellow stripes inside outer edge of each slim blade; from Japan, excellent as short grassy-tufted houseplant; or quite hardy in SE Ohio--a "Japanese Sweet Flag" which stays evergreen if given semi-aquatic conditions outdoors. Easy very seldom offered clone.

81229 AJUGA CATLIN'S GIANT LAB HT PRICE: $ 4.75 Very large glazed glossy purple leaves form wide flat rosettes. Excellent evergreen giant groundcover in the Midwest--but high exposure to winter sun with freezing winter wind can damage these outsized leaves; nonetheless, they reliably remain undamaged in moist shady areas. A slowly carpeting selection of this sometimes rambunctuous species.

88864 AJUGA REPENS LINDA APPLEGATE LAB HT PRICE: $ 5.50 From the garden of Charles & Linda Applegate comes this brightly basil toned vigorous groundcover topped with showy spires of white in the spring--Very slowly carpeting selection with extremely thickly tostled congested foliage unique among the "Bugleweeds"--just so in vogue currently! Our most popular Ajuga--especially as it forms a stunning carpet even in sunny well-drained areas, thus making it the perfect protective groundcover for prize dwarf conifers.

88862 AJUGA REPTANS CHOCOLATE CHIP LAB HT PRICE: $ 4.00 A very miniature tuffet (eventually a carpet if given a few years) of purple blushed cocoa bronze mouseear leaves; spikes of blue fls (fading to dark blue purple) only 3" tall! From Valfredda nursery in Italy. Now we have a perfectly behaved "Bugleweed" appropriate for even small trough gardens and an excellent underplant foil for miniature early spring bulbs or a petite (yet easily grown) blanket for the roots of prized miniature conifers.

90259 AJUGA REPTANS DIXIE CHIP LAB HT $ 6.00 This is the variegated form of Ajuga Chocolate Chip. It small and compact size makes this variety suitable for planting between stepping stones, in wall crevices, or in other small spaces.

59049 ALCHEMILLA MOLLIS THRILLER ROS HT PRICE: $ 4.50 Attractive mounds of softly toned gray green foliage of somewhat hexagonal leaves; summer sprays of lime yellow blossoms are also used in dried flower arrangements. A traditional herb garden star perfect in the perennial border to tone down gaudier bedfellows. Z 3-8. Yes, this is the billowy gray toned perennial appearing in any photoshot of the traditional English garden, typically shot with a spherical drop of water/dew artfully posed above the leaf surface as it balances on the pubescent hairs of the leaf surface. It will perform this Kodak moment in your garden as well, repeatedly.

80061 ARMERIA MARITIMA ALBA PLU HT PRICE: $ 3.75 Bright white globes of flowers on short stems over the tidy mounds of narrow leaves. Selection of "Sea Thrift perfect in trough designs or in the rockgarden. Needs Sandy soil and full sun to flourish.

10060 ATHYRIUM GOERINGIANUM PICTUM POLYP PRICE: $ 4.75 "Japanese Painted Fern." Diciduous fern with elegant pink to silver centered fronds. Best grown outside with some protection from sun and wind.

11616 ATHYRIUM GEORINGIANUM PICTUM CRISTATUM POLYPOD HT PRICE: $ 6.75 Charming "Crested Japanese Painted Fern". Forming elegant clumps of silvery fronds emerging pink toned, each mature frond forking at the tip to form a crested fishtail. Quite winter hardy in our Ohio location.

80739 BRIZA MEDIA CODE PRICE: $ 3.75 Hardy species of "Quaking Grass" reaching 2 feet. Eurasian naturalized in North America where is known as "Trembling Hearts" for the heart-shaped seed heads so very popular in dried arrangements. Very beautiful here grown in high shade with wet feet.

80114 CAMPANULA POSCHARSKYANA CAM HT PRICE: $ 4.50 "Yugoslavian Bellflower" Carpets of crimpted foliage foil perfectly the sprays of powder-blue cupped starflowers; once established, very drought resistent and a vigorous colonizer. That means do not plant this near tiny treasures which might not appreciate such a vigorous neighbor.

81615 CAREX ALBULA FROSTED CURLS CYP HH HT PRICE: $ 6.75 Unusual tufts of mahogany chocolate sedge-like foliage frosted pale pewter on twisted tips; very distinctive designer mop appearance in the rock garden or used as a container plant (especially as you'll want to bring this peroxide bleached tightly clumped Zone 8 wonder indoors if you wish.); if situated in a rocky/skree location in full sun away from severe winter winds, this amazing creature survives our Zone 6 winter eventually appearing to be someone's discarded wig lost in the winter snows. Seems to be the same plant as C. comans 'Frosted Curls.'

88775 CAREX MORROWI ICE DANCE CYP HT PRICE: $ 4.00 Tightly clumping "Cream Sedge" forms jewel like tuffets of glossy leathery slim blades with far wider cream-ivory margins than the similarly vigorus 8" tall cultivar 'Variegata.' Z5 treasure for bog, border, or small container. Availability can be limited--check before ordering in quantities.

80974 CERASTRIUM TOMENTOSUM BIEBERSTEINII PLU HT PRICE: $ 5.50 "Silver Carpet" One of the silvery-gray foliaged, prostrate-growing "Mouse-ear Chickweeds" perfect for rockeries or low borders. Crimean. Greek "keras" =horn, shape of seed caps.

70109 CHAMAECYPARIS PISIFERA SNOW CUP TH PRICE: $ 5.25 `Mikko' in Japan. Very winterburn tolerant plumosa type--pointed globe of moss-like blue-green foliage with all new growth a bright white. Avoid winter sun in warmer southern climates; always excellent in containers.

70219 CHAMAECYPARIS THYOIDES HEATHERBUN CUP HT PRICE: $ 5.50 Dwarf slow-growing cultivar with tiny needles turning rich plum purple toned mahogany by mid-winter; during growing periods a beautiful soft cushiony rounded shrublet tempting all passerbys to pet it. Will adapt to poodling cuts.

70130 COTONEASTER PROCUMBENS STRIEB'S FINDLING ROS HT HH PRICE: $ 7.50 "Bonsai Rockspray" Glossy contorted prostrate branches form bonsai shapes. In a rockery or by walls will conform to the contours it encounters.A prostrate selection from Germany, 'Strieb's Findling' will provide an unusual accent to your garden. This very low growing plant with tiny green leaves appears to cling tightly to the ground. Accented with white flowers in spring and red berries in the fall and winter; it may attain a height of four inches, for taller uses, you will need to stake it up.

88829 CRYPTOTAENIA JAPONICA ATROPURPUREA UMB HT PRICE: $ 3.25 Very handsome "trendy" perennial especially helpful by lending a dusky rich purple foliage foil to a gold & white Hosta planting. "Purple Japanese Celery" is also successful as a bog plant, the rather oddly formed buff pink blushed white flower sprays (nearly umbels) appear late summer--every butterfly in your garden will make a pilgrimage to the feast. To see it is to want it. Winter hardy at least to the Artic Circle; we cannot safely say it will survive the seasons further north than that.

10240 CYRTOMIUM CARYOTIDEUM POLYP CGH HP PRICE: $ 7.50 "Clean Holly Fern." Sharply outlined holly shaped pinnae are closely layered on the short curved fronds; distinctive verdant green dull sheen also distinguishes this beautiful species native from Sri Lanka to Japan. Good container plant, where not winter hardy.

61701 DENDRANTHEMUM [CHRYSANTHEMUM] FIRECHIEF [HYB]COMP HH CGH PRICE: $ 4.50 Shamelessly dramatic "Cascade Mum" for brilliant late Fall displays with much terminal branching to present the cluster of scarlet red flowers, each with a showy bronzy yellow center. Very vigorous--loved by topiary and bonsai fanciers. While winter hardy outdoors here, the very late blooming date deems this a potplant in most midwest and northern climes.

80761 DIANTHUS FIRST LOVE [HYB] CAR HT PRICE: $ 4.75The "Everblooming Pink" tagline indicates its considerable success as a winter greenhouse performer (and now it is also newly discovered by designers of patio container combinations) as this fastigate cultivar does not languish in summer heat like many of its carnation cousins; nonetheless, when tried in outdoor beds, it still manages a rigorous upright habit supporting fringed "Pinks" opening creamy pale pink gradually fading to violet, then faded magenta. Still: best to take some cuttings for the winter coldframe, as tends to fade away if winter soil becomes too saturated with moisture while the plant is dormant.

80763 DIANTHUS GRATIANOPOLITANUS FIRE WITCH CAR HT PRICE: $ 3.75 Very compact frosty toned foliage mats topped with brilliantly colored carmine blossoms undertoned violet, with rich fragrance. What more can you demand from a rockery "Pink"?

83117 DUCHESNEA INDICA HARLEQUIN ROS HT PRICE: $ 4.50Dimunitive carpet of crisp strawberry rosettes with emerging white splashed leaves developing best variegation in cool akaline conditions, then taking on pink-violet tones; typically romps on with yellow flowers, then (after a bee encounter) followed by a cute yet insipid red blushed strawberry mimic fruit. Except in very cool summer climates the spring variegation will disappear, leaving a dark green low carpeting groundcover. Hardly spectacular, but certainly amusing.

40249 EQUISETUM TRISERIALE EQU HP HH CGH PRICE: $ 5.00 Low growing colonies of bright green erect 2" to 4" wiry wands; this is similar to E. variegatum, but the finer, less rigid stems which form lovely interlaced mats are a far brighter green fall color than E. variegatum. Lovely in pots or borders; a true visual gem (with ease of culture--full light and moist feet) for that micro primitive aura.

70176 EUONYMUS FORTUNEI MINIMA [KEWENSIS] CEL HT PRICE: $ 5.50 Spreading mat of small prostrate stems lined with leathery oval leaves seldom longer than a half inch. Very attractive as evergreen groundcover or bonsai base; effective in moss topiary as well. We will need lead time to finish this if you order in quite large numbers.

70629 EUONYMUS FORTUNEI HARLEQUIN CEL HT HH PRICE: $ 5.50 Very striking cultivar released by Brookside Gardens as #1453 with a clambering or prostrate habit; often white-striped stems are lined with narrow leathery scalloped leaves speckled bright creamy white. Yinger's name for this remarkably variegated Suzuki Nursery plant.

72759 EUONYMUS FORTUNEI WOLONG GHOST CEL HT HH PRICE: $ 5.50Outreaching rose blushed stems rigidly studded with pairs of slim deep green leathery leaves with bright white veins creating a visual mosaic. Slow to establish introduction from Dan Hinkley who found it at the Wolong Nautre Preserve in 1996.

67780 EUPHORBIA CYPARISSUS FEN'S RUBY EUP HT PRICE: $ 6.00 The pale green plumy needleleaved species is commonly found invading sunny herb gardens with rocky soil; this cultivar emerges with very bright purple red foliage, fading to dusky coppery green; tipped with clusters of ochre flowers fading to orange oatmeal tones. Lends a soft violet hued feathery effect to a too sunny, too rocky, baked clay problem area with great grace. A fascinating contrast groundcover for a set of Yucca.

88660 EUPHORBIA DULCIS CHAMELEON EUP HT PRICE: $ 8.00 Vigorous purplish foliage on seinna stems topped with orangy flowers; an excellent sunny garden perennial from Alan Bloom. Slowly clumping beauty.

89105 FAGOPYRUM DIBOTRYS VARIEGATUM POLYGON HT PRICE: $ 10.00 A starlingly beautiful "Mottled Arrowheart" Persicaria cousin with jointed stems clasped by very tastefully showy golden marbled elongated heart leaves; perfect in containers, the open bed, or marginal pool plantings. White pearly flowers in late fall add another level of interest to an already charming plant. Try growing with close cousin Persicaria Red Dragon for a visual treat. Very successful in a container mix as well.

81721 GERANIUM DALMATICUM X MACRORHIZUM BIOKOVO GER HT PRICE: $ 4.25 Deeply scalloped tidy leaves with sheen, red toned in fall; clear bright pink flowers with lilac blush. Cantabrigiense does indicate dalmaticum x macrorrhizum parentage--a guarentee to flourish in most garden conditions. Woody much-branched stems, thus excellent rockery or trough plant as well--tolerant of severe exposure, yet always charming and pert.

80010 GLECOMA HEDERACEA VARIEGATA LAB HH CGH PRICE: $ 3.75 "Gill-Over-the-Ground" Small creeping mint with fuzzy kidney shaped leaves & amp; tiny flowers; this clone of "Ground Ivy" / "Alehoof has bright white margins on each leaf. Can be invasive; do NOT allow reversions to proliferate. Also popular in hanging baskets and windowboxes for its dramatic cascading abilities.

41159 HEDERA HELIX BUTTERCUP ARAL HP HH CGH PRICE: $ 5.75 "Golden English Ivy" Glossy new leaves a bright yellow, fading to a deep leathery green; foliage does not burn in our winter. Also known as `Golden Cloud' in Europe.

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.

41183 HEDERA HELIX KOLIBRI ARAL HP CGH HH PRICE: $ 4.75 Silver-white and slate-gray flecked with emerald enameled on compact leathery leaves--forming a thick richly textured carpet with remarkably beautiful color saturation. Beautiful "Hummingbird Ivy" noted for unusually strong contrast of dark flecks on snowy white & ochre mosaic leaves of very strong texture. Its popularity as never wavered.

41399 HEDERA HELIX SPETCHLEY ARAL HT CGH HP PRICE: $ 5.00 "Gnome Ivy" Very tiny triangular round lobed arrowhead outlined leaves of blackish green thickly shingled on slim dark stems, maroon when young, heading in very straight lines, but branching at most nodes when in a brightly lit situation; very winter hardy selection from Spetchley Park in England. Extremely popular as even older established vines still maintain the very reduced foliage. Excellent on mossed topiary forms, newly popular in terrariums even though may not retain its deep color in this environment.

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.

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.

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. Very reliable. This is one we decided to keep.

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. This plant like the H. Crown Jewel above we have found will stand up under both extreme cold winters and the heat of the summer. Very reliable.

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.

80604 JUNCUS EFFUSUS SPIRALIS VARIEGATA 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. This clone is striped cream and white. Rather unusual form. New with Glasshouse Works in 2008

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.

70271 JUNIPERUS PROCUMBENS NANA CUP HT $ 5.75 Low dense stems with very dense attractive foliage; a basic choice for outdoor carpet groundcover, a cascade over a wall or from a container, or for very basic bonsai training (typically, this is the one in your grocery store which just arrived with concrete poured over it to keep it from slipping out of its cheap bonsai pot).

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.

40444 LONICERA NITIDA BAGGESEN'S GOLD CAP HP CGH HH PRICE: $ 3.00 In bright light the tiny ranks of new leaves of this "Prostrate Honeysuckle" remain blond-gold; brilliant against deeper green older foliage of this arching small shrub--wonderful when sheared. Traditional subject for the amateur bonsaist. In cool winter conditions the foliage turns plum purple.

89181 LONICERA NITIDA RED TIPS CAP HP HH PRICE: $ 5.50 "Red Prostrate Honeysuckle" Handsome out arched woody stems with endless herringbone stems each ranked with tiny red bronze leaves gradually turning deep green as they mature. Plum purple tones during winter chill. Great planted with with gold leaved plants.

71480 LONICERA YUNNANENSIS PAT'S VARIEGATED CAP HH HT PRICE: $ 4.50 Pat McCracken's selection of this tidy SW Chinese shrub "Honeysuckle" with each pert lf rimmed white. Should be most popular for bonsai lovers. Larger and sturdier than Lonicera nitida 'Silver Beauty'

88585 LYSIMACHIA CONGESTIFLORA GOLDEN HARVEST PRI CGH HH PRICE: $ 4.75 An excellent subtropical "Golden Nosegay" selection with the clusters of bright yellow flowers highlighting the muted golden foliage of this procumbent half hardy perennial; NOT the patented yellow margined form.

80013 LYSIMACHIA NUMMULARIA AUREA PRI HP PRICE: $ 4.75 "Golden Moneywort" Prostrate rooting stems with coin-shaped golden leaves; If wintered, produces yellow "Creeping Jennie" primrose flowers. Popular as bold golden groundcover outside or hanging baskets indoors. "Lloydiella"

40646 MUEHLENBECKIA AXILLARIS [NANA] POL HP CGH HH PRICE: $ 7.75 "Mattress Vine" Very dwarf prostrate wiry "vine" with short branched stems forming matted clumps of dark glossy teardrop leaves; waxy flowers usually in twos. New Zealand. Winter hardiness depends on location location location.

80968 NIPPONANTHEMUM (CHRYSANTHEMUM) NIPPONICUM COMM HH CGH PRICE: $ 6.75 Shrubby "Nippon Daisy" from Japan with stout stems studded with thick widely toothed spatulate leaves with a glossy jade quality; big white daisy flowers with bold greenish-yellow eyes late fall. The "Montauk Daisy" while hardy here with good drainage, blooms so late that we grow them in large low mum pots so we can bring them into shelter in the event we suffer an unusually early killing frost; also effective in containers brought into the greenhouse mid fall to prolong the marvelous display. Needs perfect drainage and light mulch to survive the outdoor winters.

65529 OPHIOPOGON JABURAN [HORT] LIL HH HT CGH PRICE: $ 12.00 "Black Snakebeard" Very elegant erect bunched fans of deep green leathery slim leaves slowly clump to form a beautiful carpet if protected from severe winter exposure. Extremely popular as a vertical accent in small container designs.

40678 OPHIOPOGON JAPONICUS ARITAKI LIL HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.75 "Silver Mist Lilyturf" with short narrow strap leaves richly lined in cream-white, pink tinted in high light. Rare because this is slow to offset; considered at least Z7--but would require considerable winter protection. Evidentally same as clone in European horticulture known as `Folius Albo-striatus.' Fabulous small container subject.

40679 OPHIOPOGON JAPONICUS GYOKU RYU LIL HP CGH HH PRICE: $ 6.25 Beautiful "Lilyturf" clumps of small very slim blades in tidy upright clumps; the "Jewel Dragon Plant" of Japan. Quite winter hardy in SE Ohio, but often with minor tip-burn. Nonetheless, in our experience, this is still the slowest to spread into a mat, as does not offset as willingly as 'Kyoto Dwarf' with its comparatively much more short and wide leafblades. Diabetes cure in China

40680 OPHIOPOGON JAPONICUS KYOTO DWARF LIL HP CGH HH PRICE: $ 5.75 Marvelous tiny black-green tufts of tight leathery leaf fans--much shorter and much wider "blades" than 'Gyoku Ryu.' This is the choice for underplanting bonsai. Excellent groundcover in your Zen garden.

40681 OPHIOPOGON PLANISCAPUS ARABICUS (NIGRESCENS) LIL HP HT PRICE: $ 8.50 "Black Mondo Grass" Famous leathery ribbon leaves purple-black; clumps produce off-white flowers, then pale blue-green fruit. Survives our SE Ohio winters if given protection from winter sun.

89198 ORIGANUM KENT BEAUTY LAB HT CGH PRICE: $ 7.00 Remarkably beautiful chains of pendant bracts nodding at the tips of arched stems emerging from a woody rootstock, perfect with the glaucous foliage. A hybrid of O. scabrum crossed with rotundifolium found at Washfield Nursery in Kent.

81131 PLANTAGO ASIATICA VARIEGATA PLA HT PRICE: $ 4.50 Wide small paddle shaped leaves liberally striped and blotched with bright ivory white. True from seed, this small non-invasive Eruasian can form a richly variegated mat in time; also a favorite for tiny containers--but its variegation is so showy it would probably turn a mixed trough into a carnival. The seeds have traditionally been used in China to treat boils and conjunctivitis as well as bouts of vertigo. Thus an absolutely perfect plant for dizzy gardeners. If only the bulk of your "Herb Garden" inhabitants were half as beautiful! Not the vigorous Plantago major.

88649 RANUNCULUS REPENS BUTTERED POPCORN RAN HT $ 7.50 Wonderful "Variegated Buttercup" with very low foliage toned metallic over golden centers framed with green crennations; a perfect palette of color for its bright yellow blossoms. This splendid carpeting groundcover tolerates shade but prefers moist, even boggy situation in good light to achieve its considerable beauty.

40862 REINECKIA CARNEA LIL HP CGH HH PRICE: $ 5.00 Double ranks of grass-like arched leaves only inches high line creeping soil-level rhizomes; basal reddish-magenta, scented basal flowers followed by gound level berries. This "Lily Turf Carpet" is valuable as groundcover for leggy plants; marginally hardy here even in mild winters.

40863 REINECKIA CARNEA VARIEGATA LIL HP CGH HH PRICE: $ 6.25 Outstanding carpeting "False Lilyturf" with short, ranked leaves striped bright ivory; vigorous Japanese clone with brick red flowers followed by berries. Green species form marginally winter hardy here in Zone 6--this is less hardy. A far more successful and gorgeous citizen of your cool greenhouse (need a groundcover under the bench?) or as a beautiful visual in a bulbpan on or near a bright chill winter window. The green species form is marginally winter hardy here in Z6--this rare variegated clone is less hardy and easily damaged by winter sun.

40889 ROHDEA JAPONICA LIL CGH HP PRICE: $ 10.00 "Sacred Lily of China" Thick dark leathery lance leaves rise in two packed ranks; club-like inflorescence with stubby yellow flowers; excellent pot plant in northern climes, winter hardy in South; typically hardy in our modified Z6b climate, yet sustaining some foliar damage in severe winters.

70405 ROSA RED CASCADE [HYB] ROS HT PRICE: $ 5.75Widely arching canes with deep green foliage produce a constant succession of sprays of small rich red double blossoms even in the winter greenhouse--although quite winter hardy in our Z6b. Interesting in large hanging baskets or cascading from large urns; but unrivaled as a constantly reblooming ground cover in full sun. These are well established plants. We have trialed dozens of trailing roses--this is the one with good dark glossy foliage and constant flushes of blossoms, even during hot summers.

80861 SAGINIA ARENARIA SUBULATA AUREA CAR HT PRICE: $4.75 "Pearlwort" or "Golden Scotch Moss" mats of glossy bristled lime gold foliage with minute fragrant white flowers. Excellent for rockeries; lovely in containers. "Goldmoss Sandwort" looks quite delicate, but needs a somewhat exposed full sun location to survive a wet winter.

70418 SALIX REPENS BOYD'S PENDULOUS SAL HT PRICE: $ 22.00 Prostrate curving stems; wonderful snaking over a rockery boulder.

83047 SAXIFRAGA VEITCHIANA SAX HH HT PRICE: $ 2.75 The "Red Carpet" groundcover for moist places--thick solid rounded "Mars Red" leaves in profusion, each covered with showy red hair. Hardy here with considerable winter protection and sweet soil--old decaying concrete provides a favorite spot. Please refer to the TROPICALS for offerings of the various cultivars of Saxifraga stolonifera.

89175 SEDUM ANGELINA [HYB?] CRA HT PRICE: $ 4.00"Golden Stonecrop" succulent mat former considered to be of Croatian origin. Upright stemlets thickly set with fat needle leaves turning a brilliant lime gold in full sun and cooler temperatures, then developing a decidedly orangy fall blush.

80400 SEDUM KAMTSCHATICUM VARIEGATUM CRA HT PRICE: $ 5.00 Mounding Asian stonecrop with crenate-tipped spatulate rubbery foliage richly margined creamy-yellow in spring, fading to ochre in time; flat heads of yellow showy flowers.

89228 SEDUM TERNATUM LARINEM PARK [HYB] CRA HT PRICE: $ 4.50 Low growing "Rubber Carpet" tolerates some shade as well as more moisture than most its Sedum kin. Rounded rubbery leaves tightly packed on short stems; pinkish white heads of May flowers. A Selection from Mineral County, West Virginia by Primrose Path Nursery.

81917 STACHYS BYZANTINA HELENE VON STEIN LAB HT PRICE: $ 4.50 Curious "Big Ears"--slowly wide-clustering carpets of large felted silvery-gray leaves maintain bright good color even in some shade; Z 4. Sterile selection originally offered as 'Countess von Zeppelin.'

83038 STACHYS BYZANTINA PRIMROSE HERON LAB HT PRICE: $ 4.75 "Golden Lambs Ear" The richly felted soft leaves emerge chartreuse & primrose yellow (with a hint of upcurl along the margins), gradually fading to wooly silver over green in the heat of summer. With cooler fall, the elegant spring lemonade coloring reappears. Forms a very thickly foliaged mat that looks soft and inviting enough for the gardener to consider taking a brief primrose nap.

80430 TANACETUM VULGARE ISLA GOLD COMP HT $ 5.00 "Golden Tansy" The somewhat woody stems of this strongly scented 3' mound are cloaked with ferny golden yellow leaves; topped with typical easily dried tansy flower clusters. Must have good sun and good drainage.

40938 TOLMIEA MENZIESII VARIEGATA SAX HP CGH HH PRICE: $ 4.25 "Variegated Piggy Back Plant" Fresh green, hairy, lobed leaves with richly yellow-flecked surfaces grow plantlets on the tops of the leaf base. Likes a cool spot with good humidity. Marginally winter hardy in our Z6b. Renamed 'Taff's Gold' in England.

81421 VERBASCUM PHOENICEUM ALBUM SCR HB HT PRICE: $ 4.00 From the flat low foliage of "Purple Mullein" arise spikes with morning blooming white flowers, typically with a pale pinkeye. Gradually seeds itself if given full sun and poor soil to form a bed of Winter green doily-like deep green rosettes. Unlike many mulleins, this is always attractive in our very moist climate.

88722 VERONICA REPENS GOLDEN CARPET SCR HT PRICE: $ 5.50 Beautiful "Golden Veronica" forms prostrate mats of bright lime yellow foliage topped by tiny blue spikes in the spring. Must have good light and NEVER ever dry out. Will not compete well with more vigorous neighbors.

80466 VINCA MAJOR AUREO-VARIEGATA [SURREY MARBLE] APO HT PRICE: $ 3.50 "Golden Blue-buttons" Showy cultivar of this "Perriwinkle" with long cascading stems ranked with opposite glossy oval leaves, each one centered with golden-mustard variegation. Beautiful blue spring blossoms. "Maculata" in Irish garden books.

80465 VINCA MAJOR VARIEGATA APO HT HH PRICE: $ 3.50 "Urn Plant" Cascading slim stems ranked with pairs of white margined leaves; if has cool winter cycle produces remarkable "Giant Periwinkle" blue flowers. Common florist plant in the days of cemetary urns; it may be dirt common, but still earns a spot in the garden for its ability to be subtle and bold simultaneously.

88582 VINCA MINOR AUREA [GLASSHOUSE WORKS] APO HT PRICE: $ 4.50 Our selection for a solid lime-gold leaf--a form teasingly mentioned in several old catalogues as 'Aurea'--very slow growing.

80469 VINCA MINOR MISS JEKYLL'S WHITE APO HT PRICE: $ 3.75 Curious selection with finer foliage and small white flowers. This is excellent for use with dwarf conifers and shaded troughs as the foliage and habit is very petite.

88638 VINCA MINOR RALPH SHUGERT APO HT PRICE: $6.25 Very dark emerald leaf pairs, each with thin white border; deep blue blossoms. Patented selection which quickly forms a dense low glossy refined carpet of foliage.
