    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Vining, 4-6’, with highly textural, razor thin, evergreen leaves that are prettily purpled in winter. Fragrant white flowers in summer perfume the garden! Nice vertical accent on a small trellis or a free standing obelisk in the border or as moveable aromatherapy in a pot. Without question the most exotic of the genus! Sun to light part shade, most soils, moderate water…easy to grow and won’t take over the landscape.

    Bamboo-like foliage (only 1/4" w x 3" long!) adds a lovely fine texture to trellis/arbor where its evergreen foliage turns bronzy in winter; in a year or two fragrant flowers appear in early summer. S-PSh/M

    The narrow deep green leaves of Theta are accented with silver veins provide striking foliage for covering a small wall or fence, or it can be used as a delicate texture for containers. It is also lovely spilling over a wall. Blooms are fragrant and white, but rarely appear in most settings.

    A Cistus introduction, named for Sean's mother, this extremely ornamental star jasmine has distinctive foliage -- very narrow, under 3/8" wide x 2" long -- and a vining, scrambling habit, draping beautifully over walls, in a rockery, or in a container. Vigorous and hardy in full to part sun with some summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7.
