Spring 2016 Mail Order Catalog 2 $9 Malvaceae Abutilon 'Christina' $9 Abutilon megapotamicum x 'China Bells' flowering maple Similar to the species, but the flowers are larger, with the same red calyx and yellow petals adorning the shrub in abundance for much of the year.

This new flowering maple is a fast-growing, medium shrub, to 5 ft tall x 5 ft wide, with slightly fuzzy leaves. A wonderful introduction by Monterey Bay Nursery, best with protection from hot afternoon sun as well as consistent water and nutrients.

Mulch and overhead protection adds to winter frost hardiness in USDA zone 8. $9 Malvaceae Abutilon megapotamicum x 'Paisley' flowering maple Variegated foliage, green splashed with yellow, sets this flowering maple apart from its cousins. Familiar “megapotamicum” flowers, sweet yellow bells backed by a dark red calyx, hang from the branches throughout the summer until cold weather.

Makes a fine pot plant. $10 Malvaceae Abutilon x 'High Noon' flowering maple A Cistus introduction with yellow-orange flowers marked with red veins, the bells turned in at the bottom -- handsome against the large, maple-shaped leaves. A bit less frost hardy than some abutilons, so sun to part shade with lots of summer water and fertilizer but in a protected spot, near a warm structure or in the bright understory wherever temperatures often drop into the low 20s, upper teens F. Mulch of course for more winter protection or take cuttings for insurance. Frost hardy in upper USDA zone 8. $9 Malvaceae Spring 2016 Mail Order Catalog 3 Abutilon x 'Mother of Pearl' flowering maple ID: 12613 Stock: UMB-E11 Fuchsia colored $10 Malvaceae Abutilon x 'Temple Bells' flowering maple Ba’zillions of deep orange, red-veined, rounded bells bedazzle this gangly-armed shrub over a long bloom period from spring to fall. A tallish abutilon, to up to 10 ft tall in a season, with large, maple-shaped leaves for a floral backdrop. Best in part sun and regular moisture and fertilizer and in a protected location as these are less frost hardy than some abutilon relatives. Provide mulch or overhead protection where temperatures drop to 18F, upper USDA zone 8. Fall cuttings can be taken for insurance. $9 Malvaceae Abutilon x 'White Parasol' flowering maple Stout shrub with large, pure white flowers facing outward in abundance. Reaches 4-5 ft tall. Evergreen and everblooming to 20F. Where temperatures drop below, best to site out of wind and provide winter mulch. Recovers in the mid teens with mulch or overhead protection. Frost hardy to mid USDA zone 8. $9 Malvaceae Acanthus sennii ethopian acanthus A most unusual and striking species from the highlands of Ethiopia, a shrub to 3 ft or more with silvery green leaves, to about 3" wide with spines on ruffled edges, and spikes of bright orange-red flowers in summer into autumn. Drought tolerant once established but accepting of summer water in full to part sun with good drainage. The tops are frost hardy into the low 20s F, dying back but resprouting with vigor to at least the low teens, lower USDA zone 8, and even lower with mulch. $12 Acanthaceae Acorus gramineus 'Masamune' dwarf sweet flag A very old Japanese cultivar, a true dwarf used mainly in bonsai work, but equally at home in the garden where clumps of grassy foliage in variegations of green and white can reach 6" tall. Slowly spreads in part shade to shade where moisture is consistent. Even tolerates shallow standing water. Also can be tucked here and there to hide the cracks. Frost hardy to -10F, USDA zone 6. $9 Acoraceae Adiantum 'Golden Michael' Lovely maidenhair fern, a form introduced by Lance Reiner with lacy foliage tinged with gold over a gentle green, both colors standing out again the black stems. To only 6” tall, spreading slowly by underground rhizomes to form a clump up to 3 ft across. Light shade with plentiful moisture is best and encourages faster growth. Evergreen to the mid teens F, mid USDA zone 8 and root hardy to at least –20F, USDA zone 5. Also does well in containers, indoors and out. $14 Adiantaceae Adiantum pedatum northern maidenhair fern Native to eastern North American on wooded slopes and dampish shade sites, this sweet maidenhair fern has frilly fronds arranged in a circle on wiry, nearly black stems to 1-2 ft tall in clumps to 1-2 ft wide. Where happy, can spread by rhizomes to form large colonies, a lovely and delicate groundcover for part to full shade where soil is rich and summer water is plentiful. Often grown indoors as well, tolerating low light. Frost hardy to -40F, USDA zone 3. $9 Adiantaceae Aeonium 'Blackbeard' Charming aeonium, 'Cyclops' with its bronzy maroon leaves with a green "eye" in the center of the rosette. But 'Blackbeard' branches lower on the stem, forming a clump of rosettes to 2-4 ft tall x 2-3 ft wide. Though to be a hybrid of A. 'Zwartkop' and A. simsii, these stunning succulents require well-drained soil in sun or shade with a little water for plants in the ground and a bit more for those in containers. Frost hardy to 25F, mid USDA zone 9, so best in pots or a very!! protected area. $9 Crassulaceae Spring 2016 Mail Order Catalog 4 Aeonium 'Cornish Tribute' Aeonium 'Cornish Tribute' is a new, compact Aeonium and was Plant of the Year finalist at 2012 Chelsea Flower Show.
