Garden Treasure

Over time in this business you tend to acquire a number of plants that mostly passed around between plant collectors, the majority of which are never for sale. Many of these plants are essentially unobtainable. Lots of luck finding any of them at your local garden center, or for that matter anywhere. These are mostly things that are in short supply and not cheap. I suspect most will sell out and may not be offered again for many years. Between hope and change,and the economy we have decided to part with a few very choice things. Check back from time to time as the listing will change.

Actaea (cimicifuga) pachypoda ‘Misty Blue’

Actaea (cimicifuga) pachypoda ‘Misty Blue’ I still prefer the name Actaea pachypoda, fleshy fruited Cimicifuga, ba humbug; this has outstanding bluish foliage and is otherwise typical of the species with showy white berries.

Dactylorhiza majalis

Dactylorhiza majalis

From damp meadows and marshes of Europe comes this lovely terrestrial Orchid. With dark bluish-green leaves, it bears in May and early summer dense, egg-shaped heads of lilac to bright purple flowers. 8-20” tall. It is also found in Canada either as an escape or perhaps it was always native. Relatively growable as terrestrial orchids go, older clumps may be divided and if happy it may even seed around.

Disporum longistylum ‘Green Giant’

Disporum longistylum ‘Green Giant’

This stunning woodlander was found and named by noted plant explorer, Dan Hinkley in Sichuan Province, China. It’s Robust, 8’-10’ bamboo-like shoots emerge in shades of pink, white and green, maturing to deep green. Fragrant branched sprays of creamy-white flowers unfurl like nodding bells with the new growth each spring; flowers are followed by glistening black fruit in fall. It was originally a D. cantoniense cultivar along with Disporum ‘Night Heron’ however BLEDDYN Wynn-Jones has identified both of them as D. longistylum. This came to us from Dan when Heronswood was still a cutting edge nursery and we liked our stock plant so much we couldn’t bring ourselves to cut it up. Dawn took a machete to it last spring and now we have a few to offer, this thing is not a fast multiplier.____ZONE 7 maybe 6 with protection
