A Daphne by another name, outstanding small shrub, with long tubed, pink flowers produced for months, one of our stock plants in the greenhouse was in bloom for over 10 months continuously, hardy outside, it makes a low shrub that suckers moderately. Yet another of the seemingly endless supply of wonders that Punnett keeps showing up with, much talked about here, even Peter Erskine had never seen it. This form appears to be a dwarf clone, I was promised a cutting of the tall form that is described in the literature but it has yet to materialize.

Attractive crinkled thick dark green foliage; described as a living sculpture, these will get4-6'.tall and are hardy here in a sheltered site By far the coolest privet. If your garden is like ours and looks like it was struck by cosmic rays this one is a must

Steve Hootman from the Rhododendron Species Foundation collected this in China; it forms a dense prostrate evergreen mat of tiny round dark green fleshy leaves which is smothered in masses of white flowers that age golden and are followed by blue berries. Its very different from any other Lonicera we have seen and has a high cute quotient.

A rare species (its listed in the Tadjikistan red data book of rare and endangered plants) these are surely not in western cultivation we grew these from Jurasek’s wild collected seed I can’t tell you much, hell I can’t even come up with a good hairy hetero joke.

Bears little resemblance to the skinny flat chested model, which is fine by me.
