The Hardy Variegated Begonia is a stunning species found growing naturally in the mountains of the Sino-Himalaya. This relatively hardy species features large palmate leaves with striking variegation and rose-pink flowers. Mulch heavily in winter to protect the roots, the plant will not emerge until early summer. Fine in a container. Our first offering of this choice wildflower.

Another stunning and intriguing genus in the Araliaceae (ginsengs, scheffleras, aralias, etc.). This has the general appearance of a Schefflera species (an evergreen shrub or small tree with very large and ornamental leaves). This species features thorny stems and large and palmate, deeply lobed leaves with jagged margins. The flowers of Brassaiopsis are typically borne in long and pendulous chains of small “golf ball‑like” clusters but I have not seen this particular species in flower. Native to lower elevation forests in the Sino‑Himalaya and probably best as a container plant in areas prone to colder temps (less than 20 F?).

This selection features flowers of pale cream- yellow and are the closest to a true yellow of any Japonica camellia. This cultivar flowers over a very long period of time each spring and the flowers become more yellow as the season advances and the temperature rises. Very glossy foliage, best in light shade. Quite lovely and uncommon in cultivation. A truly stunning flower - this is our first offering of this outstanding selection.

Our first offering of this spectacular camellia with peony-form flowers that are dark pink, rose-red and red, and are speckled, blotched and splashed with white variegation in different patterns on the petals. The bright yellow stamens protruding from the middle of the flowers adds to the overall beauty of the unusual blossoms.

An Award of Garden Merit selection with large “formal double” flowers (no mass of stamens in the middle and the petals are very geometrically arranged) in mid‑spring. The outer petals of the flowers are deep pink fading to pale pink and then white as you get closer to the center of the blossom. One of our favorites in the garden and rarely offered for sale.

A famous and very beautiful camellia with large and clear pink, “formal double” flowers (no mass of stamens in the middle and the petals are very geometrically arranged) in mid‑spring. This is a williamsii hybrid and so the flowers drop off once they have finished. One of our favorites in the garden and rarely offered for sale.

An absolutely stunning evergreen shrub. This camellia features small and glossy, pointed leaves on a specimen with a strongly pendulous (cascading) habit, quite striking and unique in a camellia. The new growth is reddish and the bright pink buds which adorn the plant all winter open to small white flowers in spring. Nice large plants in one-gallon containers.

A stunning camellia with large “formal double” flowers (no mass of stamens in the middle and the petals are very geometrically arranged) in mid‑spring. The coloring of this selection is quite lovely with the overall look of soft, clear pink with white overtones, especially toward the center. As with all of the japonicas we grow, the flowers drop off once they have finished. One of our favorites in the garden and rarely offered for sale.
