Hi Janice-

Sorry we have no hellebores right now and will not have any cultivars in the foreseeable future.

We expect to have Zanthoxylum simulans by summer, depending on weather and the viability of our seeds. They will be in 4 in. pots for $6.00.

I am looking for Z. Simulans, or Japan Pepper, as they are also called. Do you still carry them? If not, do you know where I can find one?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Janice,

We have several good choices for winter hummingbirds. The royal grevillea, (Grevillea victoriae) has nice, grayish evergreen foliage and spidery orange red flowers fall and winter. Grevillea ‘Porrinda Constance’ is similar in flower, but smaller, with narrow leaves. Winter honeysuckle (Lonicera standishii) is a mostly deciduous shrub with white lemon-scented flowers December through March. The winter-blooming camellias (mostly C. sasanqua) are great landscape plants that always please hummingbirds.

What do you have for winter blooming exotic or rare plants for my friends the hummingbirds?

Hello-

If you live in the coastal Northwest or elsewhere in Zones 7-9, coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) and Leyland cypress (Cupressocyparis leylandii and C. ovensii) are about the fastest evergreen trees for screening. Various eucalyptus will work in the warmer parts of Zone 8 or up. Eucalyptus archeri and E. subcrenulata are fast and relatively narrow. Varieties of Chinese elm (Ulmus parvifolia), red maple and flowering pear are fast growing and dense, if a deciduous tree would work. Birches also make an attractive screen, but may become open at the base over time.

Hello there,

We’re looking for some fast-growing trees that will provide ample privacy from the highway (blocking both sight and sound). Can you make a recommendation?

Thanks,
Jesse

I am interested in an evergreen container plant for our front walkway. My research has taken me to Chamaecyparis lawsoniana ‘Chilworth Silver’ / CULTIVAR, which I see you stock. However, I live in Louisville KY, Zone 6a. How do you think a plant you are selling for the NW USA will do in the Midwest/South region? Your input will be helpful to me. Many thanks, Maureen Kirk
