While the nomenclature ( this may be an Ervatamia species) is poor, the shrub is stunning both in foliage and fragrant blossoms.

Extended winter dormancy--best leave tubers in pot during this period rather than storing dry.

20494 GLOXINIA ARION [HYB] GES HP TGH PRICE: $ 6.25 Stout rosy magenta stems with G. perennis type foliage topped by wide slipper flowers flaring into a bell of rich magenta with spotted throat, somewhat fragrant. Batcheller hybrid. Dormancy cycles seem somewhat random over the years--constant warmth can nearly eliminate the cycle but may reduce the vigor of the plant.

20166 GLOXINIA SYLVATICA GES HP TGH PRICE: $ 3.00 Formerly Seemannia latifolia. "Christmas Slippers" This is a select evergreen clone with narrow felted dark leaves closely ranked, covering the stiff cascading stems; topped with many red-orange slim guppy-mouthed blossoms during the winter months. Excellent houseplant; even when not in bloom the attractive foliage is evergreen and attractive all seasons.

53391 GMELINA PHILLIPENSIS PARROT'S BEAK [HYSTRIX] VER TGG PRICE: $ 6.75 Woody stems with small attractively lobed leaves and terminal pendulous racemes of showy overlapping bracts and yellowish blossoms. Excellent container plant; try as a tropical bosai. A Genus from India on through the Philippines. Availability can be spotty--best to check before ordering as we do not like to send this out dormant.

30730 GONATOPUS BOIVINII ARAC TGH PRICE: $ 18.00 Large Central American species producing a large tuber from which arises an impressive thick snakeskin colored stalk, with a distinctive central pulvinus (movable joint), topped with three branched foliage; tall showy white-cream flowers. Typically summer dormant in our experience, thus the opposite cycle to its Asian cousins the Amorphophallus species.

The two varieties of Graptophyllum pictum

50023 GRAPTOPHYLLUM PICTUM ACAN TGH HP PRICE: $ 5.00 "Caricature Plant" Elegant polished purpled-green leaves with pink and creamy-white centers; interesting small crimson flowers in delicate sprays. Newly popular along with its Pseuderanthemum kith & kin as an outdoor summer container subject; yet far more sensitive to chill.

50026 GRAPTOPHYLLUM PICTUM WAIMEA ACAN TGH HP PRICE: $ 5.00 Cultivar of "Caricature Plant" with shocking pink midrib; while traditionally a dramatic foliar subject for hobby greenhouse or the indoor plant room, now a new star in outdoor urns as container gardeners become more daring in their designs. Sensitive to chill--but does easily resprout foliage if not actually frozen. This seems to be regularly renamed by southern nurseries.

54084 GREVILLEA ROBUSTA PRO HP CGH PRICE: $ 5.50 New crop of great seedlings for this season. Reliable "Silky Oak Tree" from Queensland a popular ferny leaved potplant; when planted outdoors in Z10 or warmer can become a small tree with orange flowers.

, 50027 GYMNOSTACHYUM CEYLANICUM ACAN TERR TGH PRICE: $ 6.25 "Ceylon Plant" Choice miniature of low habit with dark green laquered leaves pewter veined and ribbed white. A treasure from Shri Lanka considerably smaller than its Latin name.

40325 GYNURA AURANTIACA COMP CGH PRICE: $ 6.25 AVAILABILITY MAY BE LIMITED "Velvet Plant" Erect thick somewhat succulent stems (seldom branching, thus solitary) studded with large soft leaves with rich purple plush hairs if given very bright light; thus called also the "Purple Passion Tree." Resents summer heat; yet also intolerant of winter chill; thus, best grown in a warm winter greenhouse/conservatory situation. Definitely not a houseplant nor an outstanding (predictable?) patio subject like the other species--but so unique we feel we do need to offer it to collectors who appreciate a good challenge. Not for the easily exhasperated grower. The upright stems may topple with time or with sheer lack of backbone, so best to stake early on. The species name gives a firm clue as to the rayed flowers' hue.

40326 GYNURA BICOLOR COMP HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.25 Prostrate stems with deep velour leaves, purple beneath, from swollen root surface; Underated species from the Molluccas excellent in wintertime greenhouse baskets; equally at home cascading from windowboxes or urns in your summertime outdoor plantings. As eager and willing to grow and impress as aurantiaca is willing to disappoint! Too many extra trimmings or cuttings? Don't toss as herbalists consider this species to be a good source of vitamens and "other" nutrients.

40327 GYNURA SARMENTOSA [HORT] COMP HP CGH PRICE: $ 3.50 "Purple Passion Vine" Succulent jagged leaves carpeted with rich purple hair on gracefully arching or (if given a mossed pole) clambering stems; All the sarmentosas need full sun to perform well..

40328 GYNURA SARMENTOSA AUREO-VARIEGATA COMP HP CGH PRICE: $ 8.50 The "Variegated Purple Passion Vine" sports leaves richly splashed with cream and yellow: best color in cool conditions. Be sure this is given full sun.

56571 GYNURA SARMENTOSA PINK ICE COMP CGH PRICE: $8.25 The marginal variegation of this "Purple Passion" selection emerges a glaucous pink in bright cool locations, hardening to a paler cream than the similar clone known as 'aureo-variegata.' Limited during warmer part of the year as is difficult to produce then. One of the more dramatic variegated vines for its favorite site, the hobby greenhouse. Absolutely not a houseplant (although several customers with grolites report considerable success). Needs bright light, reliable moisture (but avoid foliar humidity unless you provide good air circulation), and perfect drainage--a perfect test of your skills as a gardener.

51045 HABRANTHUS ROBUSTUS RUSSEL MANNING AMARYL CGH HP PRICE: $ 5.50 Select small evergreen bulb, a close cousin of the more familiar "Agentine Rain Lily" with clear magenta petals fading to a delicate lilac-purple. Now considered H. estensis by some. Evergreen waxy strap foliage is evergreen when situated in the conservatory/greenhouse; best to bind the succulent roots in a shallow pot to encourage heavy bloom production; needs full sun.

51047 HAEMANTHUS ALBIFLOS PUBESCENS AMARYL HP CGH PRICE: $ 28.00 Ciliate-margined evergreen leaves with downy leaf surfaces; "White Paint Brush" flowers presented on short thick stems, mid winter. Some sources relegate this to just H. albiflos, yet we find this to be easier to grow and to bloom, more attractively foliaged, and slightly more compact than the species form; This Amaryllis cousin must have bright light and good air movement at all time to flourish--perfect for that spot which is just a bit too sunny for your Clivia.

40329 HAEMARIA DISCOLOR DAWSONIANA ORC HP TERR PRICE: $ 8.50 "Jewel Orchid" Black leaves veined in coral; fragrant cream mini-orchid fls with pinkish bracts. Best in humid terrarium environments, yet we have observed beautiful old specimens grown on indoor windowsills and splendidly colored, heavily bloomed specimens grown under artifical lights. Also called Ludisia discolor in the older plantbooks.

40330 HAEMARIA DISCOLOR NIGRESCENS ORC HP TER TGH PRICE: $ 15.00 The ebony leaf "Jewel Orchid"--pale scarlet midrib on black or very dark leaves. A special clone of the standard .

69008 HALLERIA LUCIDA SCR CGH PRICE: $ 6.75 South African "Tree Fuchsia" in Snapdragon family--glossy deep green leaved low shrub with tubular orange fuchsia mimic blossoms over a long period, then edible black berries clustering along the stems. This popular "African Honeysuckle" is good in a cool window, is excellent for a cool greenhouse. And: seems to be passing with flying colors as a tropical bonsai subject with its reduced foliage and pseudo-woody stems.

40331 HAMELIA PATENS [ERECTA] RUB TGH HH PRICE: $ 7.50"Scarlet Bush" clusters of red tubular flowers on woody shrub.

40333 HEBE SPECIOSA VARIEGATA [HYB] SCR CGH HP PRICE: $ 6.25 Flower clusters a delicate lilac blue (on stubby stalks) with darker eye and stamens; ranked leaves margined in rich creamy white. Handsome shrub. For full sun in the subtropics; a cheerful conservatory tenant in northern climes.

If you want a particular cultivar, order it by its specific stock number as many in the above collection are not offered below.

Beautiful groundcover in milder climates or dramatic in a large hanging basket or urn. Unsurpassed for subtle foliar beauty combined with ease of culture and thus used in topiary despite its very large leaves.

41153 HEDERA COLCHICA SULPHUR HEART ARAL HP CGH HH PRICE: $ 6.75 A cultivar of this thickly-substanced "Persian Ivy," native from the Caucasus to Iran, with beautiful yellow ochre leaf centers turning saffron during cool winters as the green borders become a chocolate purple tone; spicy aromatic foliage. Known in England as 'Paddy's Pride'. Hardy outdoors here if given a very sheltered location--but even in Z6b here leaves burn simply because of their sheer surface size.

88896 HEDERA HELIX ANITA ARAL HH CGH PRICE: $4.75 An abbreviated birdsfoot ivy. Develops an amethyst chocolate tone if in winter chill. A natural for terrariums and mossed topiary.

54348 HEDERA HELIX ASTERISK ARAL HH CGH PRICE: $ 4.50 Excellent viner with elaborate leaves divided into five or seven narrow recurved lobes to resemble an asterisk symbol.

59279 HEDERA HELIX CHIMAERA ARAL HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.00 Only sport we've seen with the combination of two distinct variegation types: the several toned gray & cream areas of 'Kolibri' types overlaid with dramatic white veins & overall fine speckling (like 'Fantasia'); varies from leaf to leaf.

41161 HEDERA HELIX CONGLOMERATA ARAL HP HH CGH PRICE: $ 4.25 Undulating leathery, blackish green leaves clasp stiff, often contorted, upright stems; forms semi-erect bush with time. The wavy (heart-shaped at base) leathery leaves survive our winter unscathed if situated away from winter sun and wind.

41162 HEDERA HELIX CONGLOMERATA ERECTA ARAL HP CGH 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 like us. Certainly develops one of the most unique (very extreme decorator) vertical outlines of any Ivy, all the more dramatic due to the extremely dark toned very leathery foliage. A wonderful pot plant for that chill windowsill too cold for violets or begonias.

42020 HEDERA HELIX CURLY LOCKS ARAL HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.00 Small leaves with rippled fluted lobes; closely packed in cute toppling columns--gives a very soft, very 3-D effect.

54050 HEDERA HELIX CYRANO DE BERGERAC ARAL HP HH HT PRICE: $ 3.75 Dark large leaves with attractive veining and one very long "Nose" of a central lobe! Fast growing. This photo shows it scaling the side of a Dawn Redwood here at the nursery.

55550 HEDERA HELIX FINGER FROTH ARAL HP HH HT PRICE: $ 5.00 Conspicuously veined down-curved fat pointed fingers are slightly furled on ascending stems. A sport of 'Filigran' so popular for its shrubby leathery nature and self-heading vigor that it deserved a name.

72788 HEDERA HELIX GLACIER ARA HH CGH PRICE: $ 5.25 This selection (from the Mowrey collection) reaches an impressive size with pure white margins on variably shaped leaves. Possibly a sport of a sport.

41171 HEDERA HELIX GOLD BABY ARAL HP CGH PRICE: $ 5.00 Beautiful chartreuse-gold variegated quite small leaves--with barely a distinct lobe--fading to a rich lime tone.Winter hardiness uncertain.

42074 HEDERA HELIX GOLD CHILD ARAL HP CGH HT PRICE: $ 4.25 Soft sea green & avacado green mottled leaves with bright cream yellow margins; excellent habit, broad overlapping foliage-- the flat leaves larger and wider than other gold-edged cvs.

41173 HEDERA HELIX GOLD HEART ARAL HP CGH HH PRICE: $ 5.25 Small black-green leaves centered yellow; this is an unusually winter tolerant variety, surviving in Michigan. Unlike most ivies, this ancient cultivar plods along up the wall without branching unless you pinch out the lead tip--thus more labor intensive than other winter hardy types; and thus never recommended as a ground cover. Usually is known in England as `Golden Jubilee.'

66851 HEDERA HELIX GUILDED HAWKE ARAL HH CGH PRICE: $ 5.75 Deeply fingered, handsomely ruffled pale pewter green leaves with showy buttery margins hardening to rich ivory.

At first view does not seem to be an Ivy as the shingled frosted leaves are softly lobed, if lobed at all. Has proven to be quite winter hardy here in Ohio if situated out of winter sun combined with wind. A more perfect terrarium plant cannot be imagined.

49430 HEDERA HELIX HERMANIA ARAL HP CGH HH PRICE: $ 6.50 Thin leaved and silver variegated "Ivy." Great indoor plant as well as hardy grower.

41400 HEDERA HELIX LEMON SWIRL ARAL HP HT CGH PRICE: $ 6.75 Lemon-yellow to white variegation on the new shallowly lobed curled leaves with curious diffuse vein patterns; color of the dense foliage fades as new leaves mature, thus giving a lovely two-tone effect. Unique tostled mound outdoors as well.

42115 HEDERA HELIX LITTLE DIAMOND ARAL CGH HH PRICE: $ 6.25 Small-statured 'Kleiner Diamant' with diamond shaped gray splashed leaves with delicate white border. Very shrubby; a conversation piece small enough for the alpine house.

41187 HEDERA HELIX MANDA'S CRESTED ARAL HP HH PRICE: $ 5.50 Large very curled, fluted lobes; fast, easy grower quite effective as a large hanging basket subject. A vigorous outdoor carpeter for us in Z6b

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.

p>

41195 HEDERA HELIX SUNRISE ARAL HP CGH PRICE: $ 5.75 Extremely thick leathery leaves with shallow lobes emerge a rich gold fading to dark green with ochre veins. Unusual form seldom self heading. For the collector.

Slow growing, reluctantly branching "Marble Ivy" not surviving outdoors here. This can make a very nice houseplant especially if trained on a mossed wire wreath frame to display its intricate designs to most effect. When grown well, each leaf seems a different shard of a distant galaxy viewed through a mystic telescope. An unusual challenge.

41196 HEDERA HELIX TIGER EYES ARAL HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.75 A golden-centered sport of `Plume d'Or' selected by Ken Frieling and introduced by the Glasshouse Works greenhouses. The deeply lobed, self-branching foliage makes this a full, handsome container subject; so far, a fair to good outdoor groundcover here in SE Ohio, burning only during severe cold spells without snowcover.

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.

Similar to 'Chrysandra' but far more tostled, congested, and rumpled: how more Victorian can a plant be? More successfully presented as a mounding, rather than vining, highly variegated 3-D ivy,

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. Very small tuffets develop--thus a terarium favorite as well.

66816 HEDERA HELIX YELLOW RIPPLE ARA HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.50 Wide leaves with nearly equally long "eyelash" lobes beautifully margined in limes & yellows. Slow growing unusual cultivar easy as a pot plant subject, but quite dramatic when encouraged to cover a wall for the overlapping shingled leaves cause quite an optic dance with the variegated pinked edges initiating visual vibrations..

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.

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 7 or lift and store the thick succulent tubers as you would Cannas. Lots of glamor for very little effort.

41410 HEDYCHIUM ELIZABETH [HYB] ZIN TGH CGH PRICE: $ 6.00 Showy ginger with clusters of clear pink blossoms; needs to reach a considerable stature before producing the fragrant flowers.

53027 HEDYCHIUM [ORIENTAL] ENREI ZIN TGH CGH PRICE: $ 18.00 Oriental hybrid originally received from plantsman Jack Craig outstanding with neat slim foliage topped with clusters of undulant white petals & spidery tufts on the intensely fragrant flowers. with the dark yellow centers; reaches considerable stature.

53118 HEDYCHIUM FILIGREE ZIN CGH PRICE: $15.00 Foliage more compact than most, topped with creammy thick blossoms with butterscotch hearts--like widespread Cattleyas; but must reach some considerable maturity before the flower production begins.

53030 HEDYCHIUM [ORIENTAL] SHIN-SEI ZIN TGH CGH PRICE: $ 10.00 Oriental hybrid. "Shin"=new; "Sei"=green. Dramatic clusters of white and yellow blossoms. In limited production; best to inquire before ordering this giant creature originally sent to us by Jack Craig.
