As I may have mentioned, one (or twelve) times before, in Oregon\u00a0we are rich with independent nurseries. We have so many to chose from it’s almost mind-boggling. Last week I had a chance to visit a couple in the Salem area, south of Portland, ones I only get to once a season — if that. Today we’ll look at Sebright Gardens<\/a> and next week I’ll share photos from Dancing Oaks Nursery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I dare you to find a better looking nursery than Sebright<\/a>. Their plants are perfect, their greenhouse tidy and their display garden tour-ready. Hostas are their main focus (they carry several hundred varieties, including over 900 listed on their website, 5 of which are Sebright introductions) but to “compliment the\u00a0Hostas, (they)\u00a0also offer over 150 varieties of Hardy Ferns and\u00a0117 varieties of Epimediums.”\u00a0And as if that wasn’t\u00a0enough to keep the owners, Thomas and Kirk, busy they also operate Mid-America Garden<\/a>\u00a0— a bearded iris grower\/mail order nursery and raise chickens. Oh and they are two of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet, really.
\n\"hostahouse1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For anyone who has ever thought Hostas boring, taking a walk through this greenhouse will quickly change your mind. I can’t imagine not finding a couple must-haves, in fact I’ve bought 5 here: ‘Lakeside Cupcake’<\/a>, ‘Dust Devil’<\/a>, ‘Little Sunspot’<\/a>, ‘June’<\/a> and ‘Whirlwind’<\/a>.\u00a0The beauty\u00a0below is called ‘A Many Splendored Thing’<\/a>…
\n\"amanysplendoredthing\"<\/a><\/p>\n

H. ‘Cream Topping (below):\u00a0“Striking white centers white\u00a0wide dark blue margins surrounding blue green margins on narrow, heart\u00a0shaped leaves: excellent substance and\u00a0pest resistant! Lavender flowers in summer”. If you’re wondering about the white centers, when the photo below clearly shows a creamy yellow, I can say that in my (limited) Hosta\u00a0experience many times the yellow fades to white as the season goes on.
\n\"creamtopping\"<\/a><\/p>\n

H. ‘Tangerine Tango’, a Sebright\u00a0introduction, features an ”\u00a0open mound of bright tangerine-yellow leaves with\u00a0wide, thick and\u00a0very ruffled, blue-green margins”…
\n\"tangerinetango\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So many to chose from!
\n\"hostahouse2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

H.\u00a0June’<\/a>, a favorite!
\n\"june\"<\/a><\/p>\n

H. ‘Liberty’<\/a>
\n\"liberty\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And how cute is this one? H. ‘Rain Forest Sunrise’, the rosette almost looks like a succulent (almost)…
\n\"rainforestsunrise<\/a><\/p>\n

H. ‘Rain Forest Sunrise’: “Dense mound of heavily textured and\u00a0intensely dimpled, bright gold leaves with\u00a0green margins”
\n\"rainforestsunrise<\/a><\/p>\n

H. ‘Satisfaction’<\/a>
\n\"satisfaction\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And good old H. ‘Sum and\u00a0Substance’<\/a>\u00a0with leaves reaching to two-feet long…
\n\"sum&substance\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you’re wondering about the\u00a0other plants here’s a\u00a0sea of Epimedium<\/a>…which I’ll admit I am not a fan of.
\n\"epimedium\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Until you tempt me with Epimedium wushanense ‘Sandy Claws’<\/a>…then I want several!
\n\"sandyclaws\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Out in the display garden I stood in awe of this Paris quadrifolia<\/a> clump.
\n\"paris<\/a><\/p>\n

And appreciated the new growth on their Quercus dentata ‘Pinnatifida’<\/a>
\n\"quercus<\/a><\/p>\n

Their tree stands much taller than mine, but they both share that awkward (yet lovable) form.
\n\"quercus<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course when I got home I had to compare and mine is at a similar stage of leaf growth.
\n\"quercus<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally I’ll leave you with this…
\n\"synelesiskikko<\/a><\/p>\n

Labeled as Syneilesis ‘Kikko’<\/a>\u00a0I think it might be “just”\u00a0Syneilesis palmata<\/a>,\u00a0unless the golden veining typical of ‘Kikko’ appears later. Either way I want this! The “lust list” grows…
