Black Pearl Redbud is an exciting hybrid selection with dark purple leaves that almost appear black, turning orange in the fall. Attractive to birds and butterflies, Black Pearl Redbud grows in a broad rounded habit with early emerging blossoms in spring. Drought resistant and sidewalk safe, it can be trained to either a multi or single trunk habit. We currently have a very limited quantity of this beautiful tree. We have not yet been able to photograph its foliage as it hasn’t yet emerged! Assuming we don’t sell out, our website listing photos will be updated in the coming weeks.

‘Viridis’ Japanese Maple has vivid green dramatically dissected leaves that shift to shades of gold to crimson in autumn. Its finely textured lacy appearance is exceptionally delicate, with weeping foliage that flutters gracefully in even the slightest breeze. Perfect for a large container, small berm or a prominent spot near a walkway or patio. Japanese maples prefer well drained enriched soil with regular watering and protection from extreme heat and harsh mid afternoon sun. Apply a slow-release fertilizer in the spring.

Native to the Sonoran Desert of Baja and the Pacific Coast of Mexico, the spines of Hairbrush Cactus were once used to make a comb. It grows in a columnar branching shape and has nocturnal white blooms that open after sunset and close by midday. In the wild it can become quite massive, but it’s slow growth makes it manageable in the landscape and it is unlikely to exceed a moderate size in one person’s lifetime. Adaptable to heat and drought, Hairbrush Cactus does not thrive in areas with high winter rainfall.

Agave celsii albicans x attenuata is a relatively new hybrid of two attractive soft leaved agaves. Although Agave attenuata has low cold tolerance, Agave celsii albicans is more hardy which makes this a better choice for Central Valley growing conditions. Because the leaves are not heavily armed with sharp spines, it is a friendlier choice in a xeric landscape frequented by people and pets.

Agave celsii Nova forms a lovely solitary rosette with soft blue leaves. It is more tolerant of heat, sun and cold than it appears, making it a nice choice in the succulent landscape. Like all agaves, it must be acclimated slowly to full sun and may experience some sunburn when being moved from one location to another. If so, this damage will grow out and be replaced with clean new leaves.
Reference note: The species Agave celsii is now classified botanically as Agave mitis. This cultivar, which may be a hybrid, is still commonly referred to as Agave celsii ‘Nova’ in the nursery trade.

Bloodspot Mangave forms a colorful rosette of attractively dappled foliage, staying compact enough to be excellent as a container plant. An intergeneric cross that may have originated in Japan, it is believed to have been made with Agave macroacantha x Manfreda maculosa. Like other Mangaves, we must look to its parentage to guess its tolerance of cold conditions. This particular cross suggests that it will be tolerant of heat and drought but requires protection from hard frost.

Lavender Lady Mangave is one of the most beautiful of all Mangave creations, with smoky lavender foliage that forms a solitary picturesque rosette. An intergeneric cross of Mangave ‘Bloodspot’ x Agave attenuata, it is not heavily spined as Agaves so often are. Similar in cultural preferences to Agave attenuata, it is tolerant of drought and heat but should not be planted where it will be exposed to hard frost.

Argentine Giant Cactus is similar to torch cactus with a few unique distinctions such as large white flowers that are strongly fragrant and open at night. Not actually giant, it tends to spread outward in low clumps that appear to crawl along the ground. It is excellent planted on a berm, rock wall or in front of boulders. Highly adaptable to heat and sun, it has beautiful golden spines that glow when back lit from the sun. Native to the semi-arid Chaco forest habitat of Argentina and Bolivia. Considered to be more adaptable to temperate winter climates than many low desert species. Protect growing tips from frost when young. Rare in cultivation, it is sought after by collectors.
Reference note: This species is sometimes also called Trichocereus candicans

Miniature Santa Rita Prickly Pear Cactus combines smaller form with stunning color. The turquoise blue pads grow in attractive compact geometric mounds and become tinged with vibrant purple in cool weather. The bright yellow flowers are attractive to hummingbirds and other pollinators. Beautiful in dry gardens and containers, Miniature Santa Rita Prickly Pear is very sensitive to wet conditions and benefits from a coarse well drained soil. Plant away from high traffic areas.

Waikiki Elephant Ear is an exciting new color introduction with variegated foliage in patterns of green, pink and white. These tropical natives are moisture loving and versatile enough to live indoors or outdoors. They can even be planted in ponds and and boggy areas where water tends to collect. Although the spectacular heart shaped leaves are frost tender, colocasia is an herbaceous perennial that resprouts from the base when warm weather returns. A heavy feeder, it prefers rich soil and regular fertilizer. Evergreen in frost free climates.
