Callicarpa ‘ex bodnieri Profusion’ Ex Hammer S.
P. -1@ $15.00
Deciduous showy pale purple pea sized berries persist
into winter, from seed but they look identical to the clonal
form. It is one of the showiest plants for berries.
Callicarpa giraldii (Bodnieri) 'Profusion' S.
P. -1@ $15.00
Cutting grown from a plant labeled Bodnieri
Profusion from Heronswood. It has extremely large
leaves and is quite unlike Callicarpa ‘ex bodnieri Profusion’, Langhammer
re- keyed it and insists that this is actually a form of Callicarpa
giraldii, a yellow glanded
species which is the Asian counterpart of Callicarpa americana and I can believe it.
Very large leaved, it tends to behave as a dieback shrub here, berries are
great looking and overall it is the most distinctive looking Callicarpa we offer.
Callicarpa dichotoma .. BAP.- 1@
$29.00
Arching deciduous shrub to
4’ in height, Langhammer hates it because it touches
nearby plants (he has a thing about worms too but we won’t go there), but the
abundant metallic purple berries are great and it never fails to fruit heavily.
Callicarpa dichotoma ‘albafructus’
BAP.- 1@ $29.00
The white-fruited version of the above, branches in
fruit are very attractive in flower arrangements.
callicarpa japonica ...... BAP.- 1@

Seedling grown, Rothmans
stock, coming from him I would expect good fruiting forms.
Callicarpa japonica 'Leucocarpa'
BAP.- 1@
$29.00
The white-fruited form of Japonica, cut stems hold
their berries well and are great in dried arrangements. 'Leucocarpa'

Sweet shrub, curious anise scented red flowers will
perfume your garden in May and sporadically throughout the summer; its one of
our best native shrubs.
Calycanthus occidentalis S. P. -1@ $19.00
Relatively rare in cultivation, this is the western
counterpart of the above with reddish brown flowers and large leathery almost
magnolia-like leaves. It's a streamside plant that Ratko
collected at relatively low altitude, it has been hardy
for us with a bit of protection and is extremely vigorous producing 6’ shoots
in a year with flowers that are larger than floridus.
Calycanthus (
Open pollinated seedling of Athens, which is yellow
growing side by side with a normal red floridus. We
did the cross both ways but the two batches go mixed however that may not make
much difference these could be cool. And backcrosses may be even better.
CAMPYLOTROPIS MACROCARPUS

A seldom-encountered Chinese legume a bit reminiscent
of Lespedeza, in late summer it produces clusters of purple pea flowers in
terminal racemes.

to 'Walkeri', introduced from Lorburg
Nursery in
Caragana pygmaea ............ S. P. -1@ $15.00
Dwarf spiny subshrub with
yellow pea flowers from
Caragana sinensis ............. S. P. -1@ $15.00
Punnett likes Caragana so we
scrounged another species to add to the list, the name probably should be sinica, but don't count on me I suffer from Caragana Dyslexia, a rare disease where all
those little pea things look alike (except for Clitoria
of course).
Cardiandra alternifolia djh 435
G.- 1@ $19.00
Japanese saxifrage related to Hydrangea and similar to
it except for the alternate leaves, flowers are pink lacecap
corymbs, herbaceous stems arise from a woody base, in the garden treat it as a
perennial or dieback shrub. Dan’s collections from
Carmichaelia adpressa ... S. P. -1@ $8.00
A bit of a mystery it’s a
bad sign when Google draws a blank but hey all the Carmichaelias
are cool with their little pea flowers and seeds that are suspended in neat
little rings.
Carpinteria californica . S.P. 1@ $15.00
Ratko’s collection of this monotypic gem, at 2700’ on the
Sierra Nevada, an evergreen shrub with 4” glossy narrow leaves and pure white
flowers up to 3” across that resemble a Stewartia or
Anemone, scented of honey lemon. Seed supposedly requires fire or Ga3 to germinate although in our
experience this is not true. Carpinteria is in the hydrangeaceae and probably closest to Philadelphus,
but more then weird enough to be classed monotypic. Rix
calls it hardy to –15c.
Carpinus betulus ............. BAP.- 1@ $49.00
European Hornbeam is one of the finest landscape trees
it can reach 80’ at maturity but takes a while to get there, in

are out there.
Carpinus laxiflora .............. G.- 1@ $19.00
A dwarf Hornbeam native to
CARYOPTERIS DIVERICATA BAP.- 1@ $19.00
Japanese species, large blue flowers with prominent stamens
in late summer, 5' very showy, and unlike the better-known species, seldom
offered. We like to grow it in our large mixed perennial border, and it really
is more of a woody based perennial than a shrub. The curled blue flowers with
their strongly exerted stamens never fail to catch a passing eye.
CARYOPTERIS DIVERICATA ‘snow fairy’
S. P. -1@ $15.00
A new variegated form of divericata with bold variegation, it is one of the best new
variegated shrubs we have seen, typical blue flowers and exciting foliage, hey
something must like it our stock plant in the garden came up missing,
fortunately it is in tissue culture and we now have plenty. We wondered a bit
about hardiness but we are now convinced that it is fully hardy once
established.
Caryopteris clandonensis 'Grand Bleu' S.
P. -1@ $19.00
An induced mutation of Heavenly blue it is about half
the size and very free flowering. This is the best of the newer hybrids in my
estimation.

Vastly superior to Worchester Gold, ‘Sunshine Blue’ is
simply the best gold leafed Caryopteris flowers are
nearly as dark as ‘Dark Knight’.
Caryopteris clandonensis 'Summer Sorbet'

Clusters of brilliant deep
blue flowers in late summer into the fall and neatly yellow edged foliage that is attractive all season long make
'Summer Sorbet' hard to beat..
Castanea mollisima ......... S. P. -1@ $19.00
Don’t roast these by an
open fire they are much better eaten raw, the roasted ones are disgusting, trees
are chestnut blight resistant and will reach 60’ high with a wide spreading
crown.
Catalpa bignoides ex aurea
G.1@ $19.00
The golden form of
Southern Catalpa this flowers 2 weeks later than speciosa.
These are not clonal but seedlings (it comes true
from seed with yellow leaves) besides the huge clusters of2” white flowers,
dangling 20” beanlike pods and the lovely golden leaves this may bring you
Catalpa sphynx. You can either coo over them and
photograph them or use them for fish bait.
Ceanothus ‘gloire DE
I used to think the only hardy Ceanothus
were on the ugly side, not so, this has lovely fluffy powder blue plumes that
are showy indeed. The foliage texture is outstanding as well, and better still
it flowers mid to late summer when there aren't a lot of flowering shrubs in
bloom.
Ceanothus gregii .................. S. P.1@ $15.00
Bradshaw’s collections
from rocky limestone slopes in Otero Co. NM at 6500’, twiggy subshrubs 3’ to as much as 6’ in height with umbels of
white flowers and tiny leaves; these look promising and from 6500’ should be
reasonably hardy.
Ceanothus x vietchianus 2G.- 1@ $29.00
A naturally occurring hybrid between C. rigidus and C. griseus, an
upright plant with glossy green leaves gray green pubescent on the undersides,
flowers are dark blue in long loose capitate
clusters; hardy in Punnett’s garden until last year,
when it croaked.
Ceanothus prostratus ex Heronswood
S. P.1@ $15.00
This appears to us to be var. gloriosus,
which many botanists consider a distinct species. It is more erect growing than
the Ratko form typically a bit over a foot tall but
some inland populations can reach 1-2m in height. An evergreen creeping shrub
with ilex like leaves that will eventually reach 8’ wide with inch wide
clusters of deep blue to violet flowers at the ends of the stems followed by
very ornamental red fruit.
Celtis occidentalis
......... Bap. -1@ $24.00
Included here primarily
because of its importance as a larval food plant for so many different
butterflies including the Hackberry Butterfly, Mountain Emperor, Empress Leilia, Tawny Emperor, Empress Flora, Empress Louisa (all
members of the genus Asterocampa); Question Mark and
Mourning Cloak will also munch on it.
More importantly, it is the exclusive food of the bizarre Snout Butterfly
(Libytheana bachmanii), a
living fossil that has been found in 30 million year old fossil shales along with Hackberry leaves. There are about a dozen
Snout species worldwide including two in
Celtis tenuiifolia ................ S. P.1@ $15.00
Dwarf Hackberry is the

Another gift from Tim and Dale at Spring Meadow, as
far as I know this is the only dwarf Buttonbush, actually, this may be the only
named form. Very compact with good glossy foliage and globular heads of creamy
white flowers with prominent protruding sexual parts. It will grow in standing
water.
Cercis canadensis '
An outstanding plant with deep purple foliage it is
hardy here but resents summer heat and drought. Dick claims it does not set
viable seed and I have never seen a purple seedling, which may not be a bad
thing, as Cercis tend to weed everywhere.

is difficult to propagate but easy to grow, a must for every garden.
CHIONANTHUS
VIRGINICUS BAP.- 1@ $39.00
Seedlings of the broad
leaf form from Punnett, as fringe tree is next to
impossible to root so only forms that come true from seed are available,
however it is easy and undemanding in the garden. The showy clusters of filmy
white flowers combined with huge crops of blue fruit make this one of the best
native ornamentals.
Chitalpa x tashkentensis 'Pink Dawn' G.
-1@ $19.00
A rare intergeneric hybrid
between Catalpa and Chilopsis produced in the
U.S.S.R. I'd always loved the huge clusters of exotic tropical looking flowers
but never managed to scrounge a specimen, I couldn't believe it when Langhammer dug the big specimen from his garden and gave it
to us. He is very discriminating and apparently, it just didn't fit into the
look he wanted, go figure, this thing blooms nonstop from late spring until
fall, continuously setting new flower buds right up to the first hard freeze.
Choisya ternata 'Sundance' G.
-1@ $19.00
Marion brought us this, so
it must be hardier than I would have thought, she gardens in Toronto, golden

ones that survive here seldom bloom well however they make fine tub plants if
you winter them frost-free.
Clematis heracleifolia see vine listing
Clerodendron bungei .... BAP.
-1@ $19.00
Bold textured deep purplish green, musky foliage and
huge clusters of rosy purple flowers produced at the ends of the current
season's growth. An outlandish and extremely showy Verbena relative, I always
thought it a pot plant, or at best, a die back here although Tim Woods has had
it out for several years and convinced me its hardy, I saw it at Gee's and
couldn't resist it.
CLERODENDRON
BUNGEI DJHC 725 BAP.
-1@ $19.00
This may be hardier still although perhaps not quite
as showy as the previous form; but one thing is certain it is much faster when
it comes to suckering, given sufficient room, lots and lots of room it is
spectacular, both in flower and in fruit. We suggest a lawn planting where
mowing will keep it contained. On the aggression scale, it is right up there
with the running bamboo species. Hinkley collected
this from a canyon in
Clerodendron trichotomum variegata ('Carnival') G 1@ $19.00
Harlequin Glorybower, a
member of the Verbenacaea, not as stunning as C. bungeana its still a pretty plant in its own right, Dirr was a bit hard on it trichotomum
is much more well behaved in the garden than bungeana. 'Carnival' isA good
variegate with wide creamy margined leaves, the fragrant white flowers and blue
berries are an added advantage; it is a dieback here except in the mildest of
winters.
Clethra alnifolia 'Hummingbird' S. P. -1@ $12.00
A classic dwarf Clethra this
stays less than 3 feet tall with fragrant white flowers in mid summer, it’s a choice plant whose stature makes it indispensable in

Cutting grown from the original Broken Arrow stock.
‘Ruby Spice’ offers the deepest pink non-fading flowers we have seen in a Clethra, fragrance is outstanding and the plants are
vigorous growers, performing at
their best in moist acid soils in part shade.
Clethra alnifolia 'Sixteen Candles' G.- 1@ $19.00
Dirr selected this from a group of 260 ‘Hummingbird’
seedlings, it’s a compact grower that holds it’s form better than hummingbird
with deep green foliage and abundant upward facing 4-6” spikes of white flowers
in late June and July. His original plant was 30 inches high by 42 inches wide
after 7 years.
Clethra barbinervus ......... G.- 1@ $19.00
A huge shrub or small tree from China and Japan with
handsome exfoliating bark that can rival the finest Stewartia,

color to set it off, this can reach an imposing 10m in height.
Clethra barbinervus 'Takeda Nishiki' S. P. -1@ $19.00
A tricolor variegated form with green white and pink
foliage it is one of the best variegated plants we have seen in a long time,

Condalia ericoides............. SP.- 1@ $15.00
How can you pass up Snakewood?
Well admittedly, it is also known as Javelina Bush,
which is only marginally better than Pigbush from a
marketing point of view. A xeric congested shrub with tufted foliage and masses
of yellow flowers followed by impressive red fruits like mutant alien pointed
eggs, sadly it is probably tender here but you never know some of the
southwestern stuff is pretty tough.
Conradina
verticillata .. S. P. -1@ $8.00
Punnett has grown this for years, his originals came from
Woodlanders I think, however he almost lost it in the hard winters a couple of
years ago, we decided it's high time we propagated a bunch of it. An Eastern
American native and rare in the wild, it's resembles a small rosemary, with
showy flowers. This is a choice plant that should be passed around; grow some,
root a few cuttings, and give them away as Christmas presents to gardening
friends.
Conradina
verticillata 'Snoflake' (alba) S. P. -1@ $8.00

Convolvulus CNEORUM .. S. P. -1@ $15.00
A tall silky silvery plant with pink Morning Glory

different from the silver leaved dwarf thing we had under this name years ago,
this is easy by comparison.
COPROSMA X
KIRKII ‘VARIEGATA’ S. P. -1@ $15.00
An outstanding variegated form with small glossy green
leaves neatly bordered with white, the stems are horizontal making it ideal as
an elegant ground cover, Coprosma is hardy here only
under a lot of snow, but this should be great for the sissies in zone 7. The
name refers to the alleged dung like fragrance of the foliage, I know this sounds dismal but maybe it will attract hordes of
metallic horned scarab beetles.
Cornus alba ‘elegantissima’ S. P. -1@ $15.00
Well known; taxonomically confused,

sharp contrast.'
Cornus alternifolia 'Argentea' ('Variegata') S. P. -1@ $19.00
Outstanding variegation these are cutting grown on
their own roots and small first year plants. In our experience cutting grown alternifolia does much better than the grafted forms.
Cornus kousa chinensis S. P. -1@ $15.00
A seed grown strain chinensis comes fairly ture from
seed, vigorous with sweet fruits, I agree with Dirr
that they will never replace Snickers bars and that it is indeed one of the
most beautiful flowering trees.
Cornus kousa ex milky way S. P. -1@ $15.00
Milky Way originated as a
seedling of Kousa chinensis
indeed not one seedling but fifteen (selected from several thousand C. kousa chinensis seedlings) all
called Milky Way and distributed by Wayside. These are seedlings of one of the
fifteen, and they look pretty much the same as the original, or at least one of
the originals.
Cornus kousa 'Witches Broom
seedlings' S. P. -1@ $15.00
These are seedlings from
the high grafted witches broom in our front garden, I suspect size will be
variable but they could porduce some stuff worth
propagating clonally, if you decide to do that please use only one clone per
name, the Milky Way thing is insane.
Cornus mas 'Variegata' . S. P. -1@ $24.00
Excellent bold variegation, these are cutting grown
first year plants, like alternifolia they do much
better on there own roots and there is no understock
to clip off.

Native to Japan and Korea,
officianalis is similar to Cornus
mas with larger brighter yellow flowers a week or two

massive pink flower panicles 14”h x 11”w. Leaves are 6” long emerging light red
in spring and darkening to blue green in summer finally turning red orange and

appearance it resembles C. obovatus; cuttings are a royal
pain to root.
Cotinus obovatus ................. G.- 1@ $24.00
American Smoketree is a
