More information » |
Nemophila menziesii - Frosty Blue(baby blue eyes)An interesting seed strain of the charming, ANNUAL baby blue eyes. Found in many habitat types throughout California, this beauty has long been in cultivation. The slender, succulent, lobed leaves grow 4 - 6 inches tall, spreading and spilling about 1 ft wide. The "Frosty" in the name refers to the silvery color to the foliage, which contrast nicely with the profusion of gorgeous, bright, baby-blue blossoms. Spectacular in drifts, where it can spill and cascade, at the front of a garden bed, in meadow plantings, rock gardens or in containers. Plant in full sun to light shade where it is early to bloom during the cool of spring. Hot weather triggers seed production. The large black seeds are relished by birds. Reseeds readily. |

Neviusia cliftonii(Shasta snow-wreath)Shasta snow-wreath is a rare species not know to science until 1992. Endemic to Shasta County, California, often on limestone embankments, in moist shady areas, this deciduous shrub grows to around 6 ft. tall spreading by underground rootstocks. Looking something like ocean spray or a delicate ninebark, heart shaped leaves with toothed edges are alternately arranged on the slender branches. The flowers are a starburst of white anthers in early spring surrounded by green petal-like sepals. A lovely addition to a woodland planting where it thrives in light shade with some summer water. |

Nicotiana quadrivalvis(Indian tobacco)This late-blooming annual can be found in dry, sunny, well-drained slopes and washes throughout much of California. Often referred to as sacred tobacco by the Northern California indigenous tribes, it has been intentionally cultivated for thousands of years. Slightly fuzzy, 6-inch long lanceolate leaves give rise to stalks 1-6’ tall that are topped with long, white, tubular flowers from May-October. Provide full sun, good soil drainage, and little to no water. Dead-heading will prolong the bloom period. Often a fire follower. Drought tolerant. Deer may eat the flowers. |
