WORKING TOGETHER TO GROW MEMBER BUSINESSES & OUR INDUSTRY.

Once, when I did a talk with slides for a garden club, at the end of the presentation, one woman of a certain age asked, “What is the sexiest new plant you recommend?” I was totally stumped for an answer for an instant, not having had the presence of mind to have anticipated that specific question. Soil pH, plant exposure, irrigation coverage, yes. Sexy new plants, not so much! I tentatively ventured, “How about Rainbow Leucothoe?”, having just used it in a design for a customer wanting some colorful curb appeal. “Oh, that old thing!”, she rebuffed. “I asked you for something NEW!”, she muttered, giving me the knowing, penetrating look of an FBI agent unmasking a terror suspect. My hesitant response instantly revealed that I wasn’t up on all the latest fashion trends at the local nursery, that I was certainly no horticultural Yves St. Laurent! Forty-five minutes of nearly flawless presentation unraveled in ten seconds! Well, it wasn’t quite that bad, but I have to admit I wish I had been a bit better prepared for that scenario. The WSNLA New Plant Issue is a fantastic resource in just such instances, whether you are in the nursery business, designer, installer or just a regular old landscaper like me. In the maintenance end of things, we tend to rely on plants that are readily available, look good and can withstand the peculiarities of Pacific Northwest climate. Plants like those you will find on the WSNLA Plant List. Fancy newcomers are given a wary glance, as pretty or unusual as they might be. We can tend to forget that it might be exactly that one standout variety that makes the landscape design go from humdrum to unique and memorable. In the B&B issue you hold in your hands may be just that one sexy new plant you have been waiting for all these years! Andrew Barker, CPH | WSNLA President

Community. Think about it, not only as an individual word but also what it ‘is’ and all that one word represents. According to Wikipedia “A community is a social unit of any size that shares common values. In human communities, intent, belief, resources, preferences, needs, risks, and a number of other conditions may be present and common, affecting the identity of the participants and their degree of cohesiveness.” WSNLA is a Community, no doubt about it. We are a ‘horticultural community’ and we’re also a social community. We have a broad and diverse membership from across the state, and WSNLA continues to represent all of us equally. I’ve been a member for somewhere approaching twenty years. Continuing on this journey is why i look forward to serving as your WSNLA Vice President.

Breanne Chavez WSNLA Executive Director I have exciting news to share with you!!!

Most exciting, is that FindPlantsPNW.com provides an opportunity to serve all segments of the industry and with a greater reach! Also launching is a redesigned GardenWashington.com. WSNLA’s consumer website received a makeover and will have a companion app. The new site puts WSNLA members front and center as a trusted resource and gardening partner. New features include: an improved member search; a hub for member blogs; a calendar of events that highlight member workshops and events; and the WSNLA Career Center is integrated to widen the promotion of your job openings.

In 2019, WSNLA members continued to work together to protect, promote and educate the horticulture community. Looking forward, I am excited to work with you to grow, improve and innovate these efforts with the goal of serving your business. Throughout 2020 WSNLA Committees will contribute to these efforts.

2020 Plant Intros

T&L Nursery | www.TandLnursery.com WSNLA Member Since 1986 Lonicera Coral Star (‘Celestial’) PPAF

Apricot orange flowers with pink accents are deliciously scented and contrast nicely against the dark green foliage. Provide support to showcase as a climber, or let it sprawl on the ground. Height: 10ft. Full sun to part shade. Zone 5. Prune in spring before new growth emerges. Disease resistant foliage

Clematis florida ‘Taiga’

Introduced and judged as the most admired plant by visitors to the 2017 Chelsea Flower Show. Exotic purple flowers with light green tips change as they mature.

2020 Plant Intros

Blooming Nursery | www.BloomingNursery.com WSNLA Member Since 1999

Sedum takesimense ‘Atlantis’. ‘Atlantis’ is the winner of the Plant of the Year title at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show for 2019. Striking wide creamy-ivory margins outline the serrated edged grey green leaves, and it has a compact and well formed growth habit. Atlantis gets 4-6” tall and will spread 12”, and it’s hardy to zone 4! Loves full sun and it’s drought tolerant. Adding to its beauty is the pink bluish that tinges the creamy margins with colder temperatures in fall.

Nepeta ‘Neptune’ is an award

winning and wonderful compact plant (12” tall) with large and abundant blue flowers from summer til fall. Best in full or part sun, the blue-ish foliage is sturdy and attractive, and can be used for tea. 10 - The B&B Magazine

Echinacea ‘Sombrero Summer Solstice’

Allium ‘Windy City’

Delosperma ‘Alans Apricot’ offers a profusion of large soft apricot with yellow blooms on 2” stems to hold the large graceful single daisies above the succulent, weed-suppressing foliage mat from late spring to late summer. A 2016 Plant Select winner,it’s drought tolerant and tough. Best in full sun, it will spread to 12-16” wide.Hardy to Zone 4.

Fuchsia Prosperity is a heavy-blooming, double-flowering hardy shrub fuchsia that should be as popular as ‘Double Otto’ is! It will grow upright to 3’ tall x2’ wide, and offers up loads of large blooms with hot rose sepals and pale pink to white with red veined corollas throughout summer.

This new variety is fresh bright yellow with a white ring around the center cone. It reminds us of an open window with the spring breeze making the white curtains flutter! As with all varieties in the Sombrero series, the plants are well branched, sturdy, and compact. Grows to 20” tall and 2’ wide in full sun, and blooms late spring, in summer and again in late summer if it is deadheaded. Hardy to zone 4b. Deer resistant, as are all Echinaceas. Butterflies go mad for it.

We are fortunate to be living in a period of expanding Allium cultivars! There are some lovely new cultivars on the market now, and one of our favorites is Allium ‘Windy City’, developed by Brent Horvath at Intrinsic Gardens. Dark green glossy cylindrical leaves to 15” and flamboyant rich, deep rosepurple flower clusters bloom in June and July on 18-20” stems. The flowering stems turn purple after flowering adding to the effect. Alliums love sun and bees love Alliums! Drought tolerant and hardy to zone 5.

Agastache ‘Morello’ will knock you out with its long and sturdy spikes of

deep burgundy rose flowers over a very long season (June-September!). Dark olive green foliage makes the bright flowers really stand out! Hardy to zone 5a, this vigorous and low maintenance perennial is destined to become a garden mainstay. ‘Morello’ is heat and drought tolerant and will grow to a height of 30”-4’ in full bloom, depending on conditions. It’s spectacular used in combination with yellow and orange blooming plants! As with all Agastaches, hummingbirds, bees and butterflies adore this one and will visit it regularly as it is so reliably productive.

Agastache ‘Poquito Dark Blue’ is part of the charming and useful ‘Poquito’ series from Terra Nova. Nice compact habit (12-16” x 12-16”) and hugely floriferous nature make it a popular garden plant. Lovely blue flowers in large spikes all summer combine well with most everything. Drought tolerant and attractive to the birds and the bees, this Agastache will be a perennial favorite. Ajuga ‘Pink Lightening’ is a different sort of Ajuga; not just for covering some troublesome patch of dirt, but a beautiful plant worthy of planting on its own in the garden or in combination pots. With ivory white and mint green variegated foliage and short clear pink flower spikes in spring, it’s a charmer. Though useful as a groundcover, it is not as rampant a grower as most Ajugas, and is easily controlled or confined to the space where it is wanted and nowhere else. Andropogon ‘Red October’ is a good stiff upright form (to 6’ tall) of this

sometimes lax growing genus. The foliage emerges green with red tips in spring, with the red become the predominant color by late summer and turning to a rich red-burgundy by fall. After frost the color intensifies to scarlet red. Striking and dramatic, ‘Red October’ is best in full sun. Hardy to zone 4.

Delosperma ‘Alans Apricot’. Plant information on opposite page.

Bailey Nurseries, Inc | www.BaileyNurseries.com WSNLA Member Since 1989

First Editions® Autumn Inferno™ Cotoneaster Cotoneaster ‘Bronfire’ PP30,493

H: 5-6’ W: 4-5’ | Full Sun to Part Shade: USDA Zone 4-7 Discovered at Bron & Sons Nursery in British Columbia, this new Cotoneaster is a natural cross between C. lucidus and C. apiculatus. It has many of the attributes of C. lucidus that we so love for a hedge: great form, easily pruned, great foliage all season long plus great fall color. But what we really love about Autumn Inferno are the small red berries formed along the stems in fall. They add an element of color not seen in many Cotoneaster. The berries stay on the plant until the birds come and take them, no mess involved. Perfect as a pruned formal hedge or let it go natural.

First Editions® Love Child™ Sweetspire Itea virginica ‘Bailteaone’ PPAF

H: 3-4’ W: 3-4’ | Full Sun. USDA Zone 6-9. small form of Virginia Sweetspire, blooming in spring with white racemes radiating out from a rounded plant with bright green foliage. We selected this seedling for its compact growth habit and heavy bloom May - June. Of course the fragrance is lovely and in autumn the foliage turns gorgeous shades of burgundy. The small size makes it perfect for smaller gardens and foundation plantings. A versatile shrub for sun or shade. Thrives in moist soil but somewhat drought tolerant too. Deer resistant.

First Editions® Tianshan™ Seven-Son Flower Heptacodium miconioides ‘Minhep’

H: 8-12’ W: 5-7’ | Partial Shade. USDA Zone 5-9 Clusters of fragrant, creamy-white flowers appear in late summer, with each whorl containing 7 flowers. The blooms are followed in autumn by unusual purplish-red fruits. What makes this variety unique is its compact habit, growing only 8-12’, spreading only 5-7’. This small plant is well branched and forms a rounded, upright shrub or small tree with dark green shiny foliage that turns yellow in late fall. Exfoliating bark is very attractive in the winter. Use in foundation plantings or as an informal hedge.

First Editions® Iceberg Alley™ Sageleaf Willow Salix candida ‘Jefberg’

H: 3-6’ W: 3-6’ | Full Sun. USDA Zone 2 – 6 Iceberg Alley™ is an exciting native plant with powdery, silver foliage that adds texture and contrast when combined with other colorful shrubs. The round form does not overtake the landscape. It blooms in spring with a very pretty silver catkin with red stamens that can be cut for early spring decoration. As with most Salix, it can tolerate moist soils. Grows best in full sun sites and tolerates pruning beautifully. 12 - The B&B Magazine

Skagit Gardens | www.SkagitGardens.com WSNLA Member Since 1974

Like the other Sombreros, Tres Amigos is compact, sturdy and loaded with blooms—butterflies can’t leave them alone! Drought tolerant, deer resistant and very cold-hardy, it’s a must have in this year’s garden. Introduced by Darwin Perennials.

Impatiens Beacon Series

Fill your gardens once again with bright, long-lasting color without the fear of downy mildew! This new series of Impatiens walleriana is extremely mildew resistant and comes in a range of bold colors with attractive, rich green foliage. The result of years of breeding by the team at PanAmerican Seed, your gardens, baskets and window boxes can shine again with the brightness of Beacon! Introduced by Ball Seed.

Zinnia Zesty Mix

Talk about zesty! Huge, fully double flowers in a range vibrant colors will spice up any garden, large or small. Fast growing, sturdy and vigorous, these Zinnias are easy to grow and are happy in all types of weather. Plant these where their stunning jewel tones can create a stunning carpet of color. Introduced by Ball Seed.

Helleborus Ice N’ Roses Series

Truly a breakthrough in Helleborus breeding, the Ice N’ Roses Series is heat loving and sun tolerant, a noticeable change from its shade-loving brethren. Huge flowers rise above the attractive, dark foliage, and bloom from December through April, brightening the winter gloom. Available in shades of pure white, pink, deep red and picotee, the show-stopping beauty is perfect for beds, borders and containers. Introduced by Heuger Trading Company.
