< 56052 BEGONIA GRANDIS EVANSIANA BEG CGH H PRICE: $ 4.00 (tuberous) The "Hardy Begonia" survives sub-zero with mulch; canes with olive green leaves, red-accented, & with clouds of pink blossoms freely produced early fall; this slug resistent novelty also performs well in containers.

56725 BEGONIA KAYLEN [HYB] HH HT CGH PRICE: $ 6.50 (semp) "Hardy Wax Begonia" Appears to be an unusually full statured, dark foliage "Wax Begonia" with easily produced rose-pink (to red) blossoms; but beneath the soil it forms real tubers--has survived (so "they" say) short shots of zero degrees! The results of a prolonged winter bout would not be similar (try this as an experiment--although lauded as "winter hardy" in articles, we have had no success overwintering it in outdoor beds).

70052 BERBERIS THUNBERGII ATROPURPUREA GOLD RING BER HT PRICE: $ 8.00Reddish-purple leaves with yellow-ochre margins. We cannot ship this species of "Barberry" to certain states.

70031 BERBERIS THUNBERGII AUREA BER TH PRICE: $ 7.75 "Golden Japanese Barberry" Yellow leaves do not fade or scorch; this clustering shrub becomes three feet tall with time. Seldom blooms. We cannot send to certain states.

80739 BRIZA MEDIA CODE PRICE: $ 3.75 Hardy species of "Quaking Grass" reaching 2 feet. Eurasian naturalized in North America where is known as "Trembling Hearts" for the heart-shaped seed heads so very popular in dried arrangements. Very beautiful here grown in high shade with wet feet.

71017 BUDDLEIA LOCHINCH [HYB] LOC HT PRICE: $ 4.50 SOLD OUT UNTIL SPRING 2010 Stunning "Cotton Butterfly Bush" from the estate of the Earl of Stair with marvelous silvery gray felted foliage which perfectly foils the many fragrant panicles of lilac blossoms faintly toned carmine; great used in summer container groups. Certainly the most vigorous and showy form in Z6 gardens affluter with butterflies for many months.

BUXUS (BOXWOODS) for the 2010 SEASON

99147 BUXUS COLLECTION (5 PLANTS) We can send types best for an outdoor border or bed, or types easily trained into bonsai. If you are in New England and intend these to be planted outside, we will send windburn tolerant hybrids, not tender species or dwarf types. Remember that all give off a faint eau de Cat scent when the conditions are quite warm. PRICE: $20.00 .

42272 BUXUS GREEN VELVET [HYB] BUX HT PRICE: $ 4.25 Full-bodied rounded hybrid retaining dusky deep green color throughout the entire winter--resists cold windburn better than most "Boxwoods" and is root hardy even in the far north--considered to be at least Z5 hardy. Excellent color and habit, gradually forming a perfect tightly foliaged mound.

41553 BUXUS MICROPHYLLA COMPACTA [KINGSVILLE] BUX HT CGH HP PRICE: $ 6.00 "Kingsville Dwarf Boxwood" The twiggy, dense habit of this famous clone has made it the favorite of bonsai lovers. Very tiny dull-gloss leathery leaves on corky-barked trunks, easily trained into wide low specimens; survives indoors more successfully than other cultivars..

42251 BUXUS MICROPHYLLA CURLILOCKS BUX HT HH PRICE: $ 7.75 Odd selection of "Japanese Boxwood" forming a low cushion of curly lime toned twigs with bright folded tiny leaves hued a bright pale avacado green; distinctive form & color. Most petite foliage and excellent trunk character of any boxwood cultivar for bonsai training according to those customers of ours who are addicted to wiring and clipping.

41550 BUXUS MICROPHYLLA JAPONICA MORRIS MIDGET BUX HT CGH PRICE: $ 5.25 "Dwarf Boxwood" Very compact wide-spreading stature (a round smooth habit with dense twigy branches); bright green wide oval leathery leaves. Bonsai subject as well as knot garden hedge and rockery star dating back to Dr. Skinner's selection at the Morris Arboretum where a forty year old plant has reached the remarkably daunting height of one and onehalf foot! (Nurseries in the Baltimore area report that this will reach three feet in height and four in width when reaching the ripe old age of forty.) Because of its urge to go hemispherical, this is by far the best candidate for shaping into a ball outline for any garden design strong on orbs. Yes, we know that orbs are in. We are not square.

41555 BUXUS MICROPHYLLA KOREANA WINTERGREEN BUX HT CGH PRICE: $ 5.25 A selection by Scarff Nursery (Ohio) noted for compact habit and resistance to winter windburn. Popular for bonsai; because of its eventual rounded shape, much used also as a hedge. Alternate: Buxus sinica insularis 'Winter Beauty'.

89216 BUXUS MICROPHYLLA JAPONICA SUNNYSIDE BUX HT PRICE: $ 20.00 Price reflects rarity and maturity (these are in liter containers) of our current stock. A graceful willowy habit with ranks of small glossy elongated (oval) leaves emerging yellow lime then hardening to green on the slim stems. Very distinct look and habit.

41787 BUXUS SEMPERVIRENS AUREO-PENDULA BUX HT CGH PRICE: $ 7.75 Slender erect habbit with elegantly drooping side branches cloaked in small curved leathery leaves of deep green, varying in level of bright creamy variegation from random streaks & splashes to entire leaves of cream. While slow growing, this is a very beautiful distinctive clone, gaining popularity as a dense accent in a collection of container plants, especially in the cool (that is, for Camellias or Cymbidiums) hobby greenhouse or conservatory. Left to its own devices, this "Weeping Variegated English Box" achieves an upright fountain shape, reaching a full seven feet in height in a mere twentyfive year period.

71104 BUXUS SEMPERVIRENS GRAHAM BLANDY BUX HT PRICE: $ 4.00 Very distinctive "Fastigate Boxwood" quickly growing into an exceptionally narrow tall plant; the parent seedling has now reached some 20' yet is only 3' wide, resembling a broad-leaved fastigate Irish Yew. Perhaps the alternate name of 'National' reflects its selection from seedlings at the Blandy Experimental Farm (in Virginia) around 1936 and named by Lynn Batdorf.

41972 BUXUS SEMPERVIRENS ELEGANTISSIMA BUX HP CGH HH PRICE: $ 6.50 Small elongated leathery leaves variegated lemon on lime; tall slim habit with age.

73892 BUXUS SEMPERVIRENS JOHN BALDWIN BUX HT PRICE: $ 4.00 This "Littleleaf Boxwood" is a dense, upright, rounded box; grows to a medium-sized hedge or topiary. In mid-summer aquires a bluish cast to the deep green leaves.

41346 BUXUS SEMPERVIRENS MARGINATA BUX HP CGH HH PRICE: $ 7.75 British clone which has yellow-rimmed (gradually hardening to dusky ivory) dark leathery oval leaves; A favorite for bonsai, also making an excellent showy pot subject; although for us is hardy in zone 6, this very showy cultivar can and will burn if planted where it receives bright winter sun. We follow the European and Asian nomenclature and consider the slim lime yellow-rimmed form (with narrower outline) to be 'Elegantissima' and the bright gold oval leaved form to be 'Sunburst.' These various clone names are very very mixed up in the nursery trade.

71393 BUXUS SEMPERVIRENS NEWPORT BLUE BUX HT PRICE: $ 4.75 Much sought-after "Squat Box" with low wide self-branching habit (in 14 years may be 18" tall, 38" wide) and rich glaucous leathery foliage. 1940s selection at Boulevard Nursery once touted for clipped mini-hedges; now popular for bonsai.

71149 BUXUS SINICA INSULARIS [JUSTIN BROUWERS] BUX HH HT PRICE: $ 4.75 Beautiful foliage narrower, habit taller, and a far deeper green 'Kingsville.' Very fine textured fastigate dwarf "Korean Boxwood" eventually maturing to configure a tall cone outline; quite deliberate in growth , thus trustworthy as a perfect dark green vertical accent for the rockery.
