Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A small green leafed boxwood. Our largest plant in a container is 4' tall and has an interesting slightly weeping form. Slow growing.
Please don’t clip this rare boxwood! Softly arching branches are semi-weeping and provide a living sculpture of dark green glossy leaves! Slow growing, eventually 8-10’ high and wide…most soils, summer water, sun to shade. Nice specimen or gorgeous evergreen freeform hedge. Very slow to propagate so limited supply!
From South America comes this rare, intriguing bulb. Large, ornate, golden yellow blooms sit atop wiry stems up to 20" tall. Each flower opens only for a day but they keep coming & coming, Spring thru mid-Summer at least. Each year, this Cypella produces more & more stems until you get masses at a time. EASY to grow in a sunny, well-drained location & excellent in a container.
