WELCOME TO THE RARE PLANT AUCTION ® !
W
hether you are a first-time guest or an experienced attendee, we are
thrilled to welcome you to the thirty-first annual Rare Plant Auction®!
Here you will find over 400 carefully researched and displayed plants,
contributed by plant connoisseurs from around the country. This year, we tip our
hat to New Zealand. Our Celebrated Plant Expert, Gordon Collier, is a plantsman
extraordinaire from New Zealand. Pay particular attention to our selection of
New Zealand plants; Itoh peonies; a brand new, never before released Clivia;
cultivated native plants; and summer-loving meadow plants.
Also, among our plant celebrities, serving as our Honorary Chairman, is Russell O.
Jones, plantsman, garden designer, and artist, and long-time owner of J. Franklin
Styers Nursery. Be sure to socialize with Gordon, Russ, and more than a dozen
accomplished Plant Experts from across the Mid-Atlantic area and beyond, and
encourage them to direct you to their favorite plant offerings. To launch the
evening’s bidding excitement will be the Live Auction of exceptional plants and
trees, with guest auctioneer from Christie’s Fine Art Auctioneers Dean Failey.
Our heartfelt thanks go to Auction Chairman Suzanne Smith and the entire Garden
Gate Garden Club for their effective leadership. It is always amazing to watch the
myriad of pieces of this evening come together seamlessly with the effort of over
100 volunteers. Thanks especially to Longwood Gardens for their generous assistance
and for graciously sharing their fabulous gardens which are particularly magical
at night.
Proceeds from this plant-lover’s extravaganza support the Delaware Center for
Horticulture’s greening and outreach programs, which encourages grassroots
gardening projects across the city of Wilmington and across Delaware. A special
component of the Auction, Greening Neighborhoods, will raise direct funds for
bulk materials such as healthy soil, fencing and plants. Look for the beehive and
the Queen Bee.
Thank you for your support; enjoy and bid aggressively! May you be successful!

Greening Neighborhoods
W
hat’s all the buzz about? For the past 33 years, TheDCH’s Greening Program has
created neighborhoods throughout Wilmington that are healthier, more attractive,
and ecologically sustainable.
Tonight, join your friends and show your support for this remarkable program. Your
100% tax-deductible contribution will help to expand urban agriculture throughout the
state. TheDCH’s first farm at 12th and Brandywine Streets is coming up on its third
growing season. The farm is an impressive testimony to the power of urban agriculture.
Consisting of a traditional community growing space, and a production area, 19 families
living in the neighborhood are growing their own healthy, fresh, and local food.
Photo by Jeff Kline
The urban farm has
received an unprecedented
amount of in-kind and
community support. In
May 2010 we won the
Garden Club of America’s
Founders Fund award, a
nationally competitive
grant of $25,000. Voted
on by 200 garden clubs –
the vote, for first place,
was unanimous. The
funding will enable us
to expand the farm to
involve more families.
We continue to receive
inquiries from the residents
of Wilmington, and
throughout the entire
state, who have an interest
in starting a community
garden or urban farm. You
can help make this happen.
For each contribution
made by our guests
tonight, another piece of
this beautifully designed
image will be added, but more importantly more people will break new ground, grow
their own food, eat local greens, and be much better off for it. Take time from your
bidding and make a contribution, knowing that your support is making a huge difference.
We extend a sincere thank you to the members of the Garden Gate Garden Club for their
ideas, excitement and enthusiastic support of this project.

Auction Highlights
T
The Kiwi Connection his year at the Rare Plant Auction® let’s don our pith helmets and journey to the
far-flung islands of the Southern Hemisphere. Following in the footsteps of the great
explorers, we set our sights on the ‘Land of the Long White Cloud,’ the islands of New
Zealand. Cut loose by continental drift and safe from predation by mammals – save for
a couple of bats - New Zealand became a sanctuary for flora and birds millions of years
ago. James Cook and Sir Joseph Banks first explored New Zealand’s coastal regions in
1769 and Allan Cunningham first explored its interior in 1826. The two islands, rich in
topographical and botanical diversity, harbor every order of the plant kingdom from
primitive mosses, lichens, and tree ferns to podocarps, alpines, and flowering evergreens.
While most of these plants are native to New Zealand, we’ve included a category of trees
that were introduced by New Zealand plantsmen, and yet another category of unusual
plants from the great Southern Hemisphere – or very close by. All have made their way
into global horticulture through the efforts of devoted plantsmen, among them this year’s
Celebrated Plant Expert, Gordon Collier, who has done much to advance the knowledge
and understanding of New Zealand’s unique flora throughout his career.
N
New Zealand Natives
ew Zealand native plants hail from the tropical rainforests, coastal plains, alpine
heights, and primordial conifer forests. Some are hardy in our area, but most cannot
withstand cold winters and thrive best in Zones 8 through 11. For many of the following
selections, treat them as houseplants or annuals unless otherwise noted.
Cyathea dealbata
William Colenso, a young missionary and printer from Cornwall, England, was the first
European to discover the famous ponga, or silver tree fern tree when he explored the New
Zealand interior after his mentor, Allan Cunningham, died of tuberculosis in 1839. The
majestic ferns can reach 30 feet in their native habitat, with fronds up to 12 feet in length.
They typically grow as an understory plant in the country’s ancient conifer forests, where
they are notable for their size and distinctive silvery undersides. The trunks of silver tree
ferns often support epiphytic plants including orchids and other small ferns. Today, Cyathea
dealbata is New Zealand's national emblem and appears on heraldry and sport team logos
alike. Here in the mid-Atlantic, the silver fern will appreciate good drainage and dry summers.

Pseudopanax ferox
Another iconic New Zealand plant, Pseudopanax ferox, or toothed lancewood, is endemic
to Marlborough, at the tip of the Southern Island. Right now it is the vogue plant for
contemporary Kiwi gardens because of its dramatic juvenile form, which lasts for about
ten years. During this time, the leaves are serrated and said to resemble “stick insects”
that are long and leathery, drooping down from a single stem before eventually maturing
into a branched, tree-like form. The habit of lancewood to dramatically change form
27
from juvenile to adult is typical of several types of trees in New Zealand and believed to
have been an adaptation to extended dry periods over 200 million years of isolation.
According to Gordon Collier, “Psuedopanax ferox makes a wonderful container plant –
easy to grow, very striking and very different. If I were to have only one plant from
New Zealand, this would be it.”

Coprosma
There are 44 endemic New Zealand species of Mirror plant, many known for their
colorful, glossy leaves. In their native habitat in coastal areas throughout the North
Island and as far south as Greymouth, they range from trees to low-growing shrubs to
groundcovers. Here they are the hot new sun-loving tropicals, ideal as the mid-level
plant in containers. They also make excellent long-lived houseplants and those with
tiny leaves may do well as bonsai plants.
Coprosma ‘Karo Red’
This outstanding evergreen was selected for its distinctive black-red, shiny foliage
and compact habit. It will add striking contrast color to container plantings with
its tidy mounded shape and delicate leaves.
Donated by The Scott Arboretum of Swarthmore College
Coprosma repens ‘Taupata Gold’
This is an upright form with bold variegated leaves of crisp yellow with dark
green centers. Vibrant in a container, it will also brighten up foundation plantings,
where it may reach four feet high.
Leptinella squalida ‘Platt’s Black’
Here’s a hardy groundcover for part shade that can be grown as a perennial and will even
take some foot traffic. A vigorous creeping plant in New Zealand, it spreads by rhizomes
that need a cool root run. The green and charcoal-colored foliage looks like a miniature carpet
of ferns that would be happy in a rock or alpine garden, in between pavers, or cascading
over a stone wall. Tiny, button-like flowers appear on wiry stems in June and July.

Phormium tenax
New Zealand flax has taken off in recent years as a bold, architectural statement in
North American gardens. Prized for their upright, sword-like leaves in a dizzying array
of colors, they add an exotic appeal to the landscape. Native to the South Island’s west
coast where they thrive in swampy marshlands, they need plenty of water for the best
display. Phormium makes a splendid potted plant or use it in the border as the focal
point. Hardy to Zone 8, it may be over-wintered as a houseplant since it remains evergreen throughout the year. Here are a few of the selected cultivars we are featuring
Phormium tenax ‘Pink Stripe’
‘Pink Stripe’ has beautiful bright pink edges to its green leaves on an upright,
fan-shaped plant that will reach six feet tall. These are already sizable specimen
28
plants in decorative terracotta pots standing approximately four to five feet tall. In
summer, rigid flower stalks rise high above the foliage and produce red, tube-like
flowers. The chances of finding such big, bold Phormium plants this early in the
season are – let me think about that – zero.
Donated by Landcraft Environments
Phormium tenax ‘Wings of Gold’
A dwarf, variegated Phormium cultivar, ‘Wings of Gold’ has an arching habit and
will grow three to four feet tall. The foliage is olive green with creamy yellow
margins that are tinged with pink. It is happiest in full sun with plenty of moisture.
Donated by Pleasant Run Nursery
Phormium tenax ‘Tom Thumb’
A charming, petite Phormium that grows only to two feet tall with half-inch wide
leaves. The slightly arching foliage boasts bronze margins with a dark mid-rib to
contrast with the green background.
Phormium tenax ‘Yellow Wave’
This sunny yellow stunner sends out bright yellow leaves that eventually turn to
green. Site it next to anything dark-leaved and you’ll have a knock-out combination.
Growing 3 – 4 feet tall and wide, it is a little more tolerant of dry soils.
Donated by Sam Browns Wholesale Nursery
Phormium tenax ‘Lancer Terracotta’
Plant this in a tall terracotta container and you will have a stunning study in
monochromatic complements. Plant this in a cobalt blue container and you’ll have
a striking study in contrasts. Either way, the leaves of this plant are sheer molten
color, a blend of copper, green, yellow, and orange that appears painted on.
‘Lancer Terracotta’ is a scene-stealer.
Carex tenuiculmus ‘Cappuccino’
New Zealand Hair Sedge is a fine-foliaged plant that does, indeed, look like a healthy
head of hair. In this case, we’ve got a gorgeous brunette who transitions into a dynamite
coppery redhead with orange highlights. Adaptable to dry shade, this is a fantastic
edging plant. Trials at North Creek Nurseries in Landenberg, Pennsylvania have seen
this Zone 7 plant survive two winters.
Carex testacea ‘Prairie Fire’
Orange New Zealand Sedge ‘Prairie Fire’ has long thin green blades in summer that take
on shades of bronze, orange and red in fall and winter. Because the foliage retains its
color throughout winter, it makes a great addition to the winter garden. Wait until May
to cut back old foliage.

Starting Point: New Zealand
While these plants are not endemic to New Zealand, they all were developed there by local
plantsmen who helped bring them to a global audience. The first three evergreens were
introduced by the Duncan & Davies Nursery in New Plymouth, New Zealand, a business
that became synonymous with gardening in New Zealand during its post-war heyday. The
nursery, now owned by Elliot and Peter Groves, operates a successful tree export business.
Chamacyparis obtusa ‘Confuscius’
Bright yellow foliage lights up the exterior branches even as they lay atop the rich
green interior of the tree. The two-tone effect makes ‘Confuscius’ a stand-out conifer.
It is broadly pyramidal, reaching a mature height of 15 feet with a spread of eight feet.
First introduced in 1984 (Duncan & Davies), this golden cultivar will benefit from
afternoon shade as it provides year-round color and texture.
Donated by Blue Sterling Nursery
Chamacyparis obtusa ‘Fern Spray Gold’
Named for its flat sprays of yellow and green foliage, ‘Fern Spray Gold’ was found at
Duncan & Davies Nursery around 1975. Unusual for its arching horizontal branches
with rich golden tips, it has a narrow, upright habit that broadens with age. Site it in
part shade for best color and mulch well to keep roots cool.
Donated by Blue Sterling Nursery
Cupressus ‘Blue Ice’
Order up some ‘Blue Ice’ for a hot, sunny day. One of the bluest cypresses available,
this tough cultivar thrives in heat and sun, making it a perfect specimen for that southfacing border. Discovered as a change seedling in 1960, it was introduced in 1984 by
Duncan & Davies. Not only the color but the compact columnar form makes this an
attractive conifer.
Donated by Edgar Joyce Nursery
Taxodium distichum ‘Cascade Falls’
‘Cascade Falls’ is the first-ever weeping form of our native bald cypress. With all the
advantages of the species – soft foliage, gorgeous bronze fall color, and outstanding
adaptability – it adds an elegant cascading habit. Staking the lead shoot determines
height and spread and it will reach eight to ten feet high and wide in ten years. Like all
bald cypresses it adapts to moisture-retentive soils as well as normal garden soils. This
cultivar originated at Cedar Lodge Nursery in New Zealand.
Donated by Pleasant Run Nursery and J. Frank Schmidt & Son Co.
Acer palmatum ‘Red Dragon’
Introduced in New Zealand in 1990 by Graham Roberts, ‘Red Dragon’ set the new standard
for dissectum Japanese maples with its dark purple-maroon foliage. Notable for spectacular
color retention in the summer and vibrant fall foliage, it also delivers a very good branch
structure with minimal effort. Slower-growing than other cutleaf varieties, ‘Red Dragon’
is well suited for the rock garden, patio container garden, or as a bonsai specimen.

Heart of the Southern Hemisphere
What ancient provenance, what bizarre shapes, what rare opportunity is presented
tonight in these treasures from the islands, jungles, and forests at the bottom of the world.
From primordial pine to flowering bulb, each has a cachet that brings bragging rights.
Cyathea cooperi
Nowhere do Australian Tree Ferns grow more majestically indoors than the Exhibition
Hall here at Longwood Gardens where you may well be seated right now. They are a
signature plant to the gardens, dating back to the early 20’s when the conservatories
first opened. In their native coastal habitat, they may grow to 50 feet, but in container
culture, they will thrive in high humidity with protection from direct sunlight. The
emerging fiddleheads, known as crosiers, have distinctive bronze-colored hairs, and
eventually unfurl into bright green, lacy fronds. Avoid sudden fluctuations in temperature
and hot, dry conditions.

Wollemi nobilis
Presumed extinct for approximately two million years, the ancient Wollemi pine is
considered one of the greatest plant ‘re-discoveries’ of our time and much effort has
gone into conserving and propagating it. David Noble, an Australian National Parks
officer noticed this unusual conifer in 1994 while trekking in Wollemi National Park
outside Sydney. The exact location of the plants is still a guarded secret, visitors are
limited to select researchers, and seedlings are kept in enormous cages to avoid cuttings
being taken illicitly. Because of this, availability is severely restricted and the Rare Plant
Auction® is proud to offer this amazing plant. The found populations of mature trees
are notable for their pendulous foliage, distinctive bark, and unique branching pattern.
While it can reach 100 feet in the rainforest gorges of New South Wales, Australia, here
in North America it will make a perfect conservatory specimen.

Auracalia araucana
The Monkey Puzzle Tree, native to Chile and western Argentina, is considered the most
ancient living conifer. It was brought to England in 1975 via the most pedestrian means
possible – in Archibald Manzies’ pocket. Menzies, a prolific Scottish plant explorer,
swiped the nuts while dining in Chile one night because he was unable to identify them.
They sprouted en route back home and eventually became part of the rare plant collections
in Britain where the tree’s bizarre appearance made it popular with collectors. Whorls
of stiff, spreading branches fling outward and curl up at the ends even as spines travel
up and down the stems and branches. The whole thing is see-through and tempting to
climb, which brings us to the name. Leaves like spikes are said to have made the tree a
puzzle for even a monkey to climb. Declared a Chilean national monument in 1990, it
is hardy to Zone 7 and could reach heights of 50 to 80 feet with some protection. A
gorgeous specimen stands at the Polly Hill Arboretum on Martha’s Vineyard.

Agonis flexuosa ‘Jervis Bay After Dark’
The Australian Willow Myrtle is also known as Peppermint Tree for its highly fragrant
foliage. ‘Jervis Bay After Dark’ is a fantastic cultivar with deep purple leaves on a weeping
willow form. Discovered in New South Wales, it made a huge impact there when first
released and now it’s our turn as it makes its east coast debut. The pendulous branches
bloom with clusters of white flowers in early summer. Bark is smooth when young but
will become furrowed. Ideal for use as a patio container, it will get by without much
fertilizing because it prefers poorer soils.
Dorstenia gigas
The island of Socotra marks the origin of this extraordinary plant. Located at the
entrance to the Gulf of Aden (you still don’t know where this is, do you?) across from
the tip of Somalia (aha!) in the Indian Ocean, Socotra belongs to Yemen. It is there that
Dorstenia gigas, the largest of the succulent Dorstenias, often grows on cliffs. Extremely
difficult to propagate because it rarely produces seeds and cuttings are difficult to root,
the plant is even more desirable for its bizarre shape. In the wild it can reach gargantuan
proportions, forming a huge bulbous trunk and punctuated by upright branches tipped
with whorls of leaves. You’ll get an idea of this in the containerized version, as the
ghostly branches quickly emerge and push out bright green leaves at their tips. The
plant likes to be warm in the winter and will grow best in a succulent mix.

Haemanthus alibflos
Known commonly as Royal Paint Brush for the dramatic emergence of yellow flower
‘bristles’ from within an upright white spathe, this is an evergreen flowering beauty
perfect for a shady verandah. This specimen South African bulb comes to us from the
estate of Sir John Thouron. The hardiest of the three evergreen Haemanthus species, it
has attractive leaves, a long flowering season, and red berries to follow the flowers. It
will appreciate dappled sunlight indoors and likes to become potbound, requiring
division only every six or seven years.

Disanthus cercidifolius ‘Ena Nishiki’
The delicate, heart-shaped leaves of redbud hazel are ornamental all by themselves, but
throw in a splash around the edge and things get interesting. The new cultivar, ‘Ena
Nishiki,’ discovered as a chance seedling in its native Japan, exhibits striking variegated
foliage throughout the high season. Irregular cream and yellow margins surround the
leaves’ silver-blue centers for an impressive show in both sun and part shade. In fall the
foliage transforms the spreading shrub into a pink and burgundy delight, all but obscuring
the dark purple flowers that emerge late in the season. Eventually reaching eight to
twelve feet high, it can be kept smaller by pruning the older stems to the ground in winter.

Trochydendron araliodes
The Wheel Tree is an evergreen native to the mountains of Japan, South Korea and
Taiwan. Its name comes from a growing habit that produces a single main trunk from
which are carried a whorl of horizontal branches, somewhat like the spokes of a wheel.
Its evergreen leaves are long and tapered and the lovely branching structure doesn’t
require pruning. The unusual, petal-less green flowers are borne in dense racemes at
the end of each branch in late spring. Because it is hardy in zones six through eight, it is
probably best grown in a protected area or as a container tree. Slow-growing, it will
reach eight feet after ten years.

Cardiocrinum giganteum var. yunnanensis
Dan Hinkley, in The Explorer’s Garden: Rare and Unusual Perennials, says of the giant
Himalayan lily, “Indeed, few scenes are as provocative as a stand of Cardiocrinum giganteum
in full blossom at the end of June. The glossy green basal foliage is heart-shaped and up
to 18 inches long and 10 inches wide on blossoming sized plants. After seven years
of building strength, the enormous bulbs of this species are fully primed to send their
tree-like stems skyward to 15 feet or higher. The stems are capped by a dozen pendulous,
fragrant white trumpets up to ten inches long; at Heronswood the shaded garden is awash
in fragrance from the flowers in late June.” Now turn those stems to burgundy-purple and
give those pendulous trumpets a deep maroon throat and find a chair to collapse in.
Cardiocrinum are not for the faint of heart. If you’ve got a rich woodland glade where they
can freely seed in, you’ll have a majestic focal point rarely seen in North American gardens.
While flowering stems die after seed set, the perennial stem (i.e. the basal plate) and its
offset bulbs live on from year to year. Seeded plants have proven to be the most robust.

Cryptomereria japonica ‘Tenzan’
‘Tenzan’ is one of the smallest cultivars of Japanese Cedar with bright green leaves that

×Gordlinia grandiflora ‘Sweet Tea’
Hoping to expand the genetic diversity of the historic Franklinia tree, Tom Ranney
and North Carolina State University colleague Paul Fantz sought to combine its winter
hardiness with the Gordonia’s evergreen habit and large flowers. The resulting
intergeneric hybrid won Ranney an award from the American Horticultural Society
for his ground-breaking research. With 'Sweet Tea' he has outdone himself yet again.
The new cultivar is a polyploidy form with extra sets of chromosomes that yield huge,
camellia-like flowers of purest white. Ranney says the “big, sexy flowers” that bloom
from July through September are 30 to 50 percent bigger than the original hybrid. And
like the sweet tea that runs through southerners’ veins, this cultivar has a light, sweet
fragrance. Give it a good site with well-drained, even moisture and a little afternoon shade.

Gingko biloba ‘Mariken’
With its small, fan-shaped leaves and compact shape, ‘Mariken’ is a unique dwarf
gingko that stays very small. Discovered in 1995 as a witch’s broom growing in a
Ginkgo tree in the Netherlands, it has proven an excellent find. It has a slow-growing
habit with thick, spreading branches and leaves that turn bright yellow in the fall.
Because of its size, shape, and leaf texture, it would make an outstanding architectural
feature in either the garden or a bonsai pot.
Cathaya argyrophylla
This rare evergreen from China was discovered on the steep narrow mountain slopes
of the Huaping Nature Reserve in Sanmen, a town in Longshen Gezu Province by a
Chinese expedition in 1955. Because it is considered a ‘living fossil,’ a plant that has
existed for millions of years, its discovery caused a minor scientific sensation, similar
to that which accompanied the discoveries of Metasequoia glyptostroboides in 1945,
Wollemia nobilis in 1994, and Cupressus vietnamensis in 2001. Populations today are
limited to four confined areas in the southern provinces, making its availability tonight
remarkable. This nine-year old plant is from the 1999 germination of seed from China.
With its whorled needles, it is similar in form to a Japanese Umbrella Pine and will
grow into a handsome, cone-bearing tree.

Itoh Paeonias
Oh, let’s just savor this moment. The moment peony lovers have waited for since 1948
when a Japanese breeder named Toichi Itoh successfully crossed a tree peony (Paeonia
lemoinei) with an herbaceous peony (P. lactiflora). Carrying on Itoh’s success are two
modern peony breeders, Don Smith and Roger Anderson, who have helped bring some
outstanding varieties to market. Their hybrids feature the colorful and exotic flowers
of tree peonies with the perennial growing cycle of herbaceous peonies. Strong enough
to support abundant flowers without staking, they have handsome dissected leaves and
grow vigorously into a domed shape, like tree peonies. These intersectional hybrids are
disease-resistant as well, but the real attraction is in the huge, double, frilly flowers that
range from watercolor pink to orange, copper and pure yellow. Each mature peony produces
an astounding 30 to 50 blossoms over a single season. You'd expect such beauties to be
prima donnas, but sun, regular water and division every two or three years will keep
them happy. Try to plant them in the right place the first time, because they prefer not
to be moved.

Clinapodium coccineum ‘Amber Blush’
Rick Lewandowski, Director of the Mt. Cuba Center in Delaware, likens the discovery of
‘Amber Blush’ to a religious experience. He and Fred Spicer of Birmingham (Alabama)
Botanical Gardens noticed the seedling while botanizing in Florida with noted azalea
expert, Ron Miller. They had stopped for lunch while looking for native azaleas along a
winding waterway and when they climbed atop a ten-foot sand ‘mountain,’ they saw
this yellow-flowering selection in a sea of our native scarlet calamint. Captivated by
the amber yellow flowers that were red-speckled at the base, as well as the smaller,
bluish-grey leaves, they knew they’d found something extraordinary. For the mid-Atlantic
region, ‘Amber Blush’ is an excellent candidate for use as a full sun annual because of its
profuse and beautiful flowers but you may be tempted to challenge our hardiness zone.
Like many other members of the mint family, it can be pruned back during active
growth to keep it contained.

Perennials N
Longwood Gardens Adonis Collection
ot unlike the fever Adonis stirred up in Aphrodite is the fever that Adonis amurensis
incites among bidders. A competitive bidding war breaks out on the auction floor
over these three über-rare varieties. The only commercially propagated cultivar is
‘Fukujukai’ and the rest simply are not available. Revered and cultivated in Japan for
more than two centuries, they are remarkable for their bright flowers that appear in late
winter before the foliage emerges.
Adonis amurensis ‘Bene Nadeshiko’
This rare, low-growing perennial bears semi-double flowers of a bright coppery
orange with serrated petal ends for eight to nine weeks in late winter. In Japan it
thrives under mulberry trees grown for silkworm culture. Mature height is 12 to
18 inches.
Adonis amurensis ‘Fukujukai’
One of the earliest deciduous perennials to flower, its pale lilac blooms often
appear before the last snow. Flowers are sometimes double and last eight to nine
weeks. This plant is called Fukujusoo, a Japanese term meaning a plant of happy
fortune and long life.
Adonis amurensis ‘Kinsekai’
One of the earliest Adonis to bloom, ‘Kinsekai’ is a welcome sight in January with
its large, semi-double golden yellow flowers and leathery foliage. Blooms into
early summer. ‘Kinsekai’ is a cultivar of a very rare and hard-to-find species.

Polyganatum biflorum ‘Prince Charming’
‘Prince Charming’ Solomon’s Seal has silvery-grey foliage that arches over to dangle
pearl-like flowers in May. This new variety was selected by Brent Horvath at Intrinsic
Perennials in Hebron, Illinois and is believed to be a hybrid between a North American
native and European species. Adaptable to sun and shade, it grows only about a foot
tall, much shorter than the native species. Fall color is golden with deep purple berries.
Over time it will reseed to form a colony.
Donated by Intrinsic Perennials Gardens, Inc.
Helleborus × hybridus ‘Velvet Lips’
This is the deep wine-red worn by Elizabeth Taylor, Rita Hayworth, and other famous
female lips of classic cinema. This is a color to be coveted. Perfect, smooth, overlapping
petals face outward to reveal a center of dainty yellow stamens. Set off by a nicely
mounded form, these flowers should be shown off en masse in light shade.
Donated by Heronswood Nursery

Solidago shortii ‘Solar Cascade’
In a charming departure from many aggressive goldenrods, ‘Solar Cascade’ is a knee-high,
clump-forming cultivar with well-behaved rhizomes. It is a selection of the federally
endangered Solidago shortii, native only to a few small populations in Indiana and
Kentucky. From late summer into fall, it sends panicles of golden-yellow flowers
cascading down deep, green foliage. Like many goldenrods, it needs moist to average
garden soil to become established but is extremely drought tolerant thereafter. Plant
en masse for a dramatic effect or pair with New York ironweed.
Donated by North Creek Nurseries
Arisaema taiwanense
This rare, easily-grown Taiwanese species of Jack-in-the-pulpit is spectacular. A large
whorl of long, narrow leaves shades the huge cobra-like spathe like an umbrella. The
leaves rise from dramatic purple-streaked stems as the spathe runs its blotched purple
hood parallel to the stem. The mottled spathe tapers to a fine whisker that extends up
to eight inches beyond the stubby white spadex within. Large clusters of red fruits
ripen in the fall.
Donated by Chimera Gardens
Helianthus × multiflorus ‘Sunshine Daydream’
‘Sunshine Daydream’ is a local star, having originated in nearby Landenberg,
Pennsylvania at North Creek Nursery. It was discovered as a branch sport of ‘Capenoch
Star’ by general manager Tim McGinity in 2006 and is the first plant patented from
North Creek. This selection has fully rounded, dahlia-like blooms with petals that
re-curve toward the stem. The tall plants, which can reach five feet, are covered in rich
golden-yellow flowers with clean, gorgeous leaves. In trials at the nursery, it has held
up well through the worst of mid-Atlantic summers.
Donated by Plants Nouveau
Shrubs Rhododendron mucronatum ‘Winterthur’
Henry Francis du Pont himself selected this beautiful plant, discovered as a lavender
sport of Rhododendron mucronatum ‘Magnifica’ around 1910. It was planted profusely
at Winterthur where it flourishes to this day. An especially soft shade of lavender, it
blooms around Mother’s Day and grows to about six feet tall. Here’s a chance to take
home an azalea with local history that is completely unavailable in the trade.

Liquidambar styraciflua ‘Oconee’
A dwarf version of our beloved native sweetgum, ‘Oconee’ has a rounded crown and
habit suited more for the home garden than its natural forest habitat. With amazing
fall color, attractive leaves, and a multi-stemmed habit, it makes a great shrub in the
fall border.
Donated by Bartlett Arboretum

Neviusia alabamensis
Alabama snow-wreath is a lovely multi-stemmed shrub whose airy white flowers
appear in profusion in late April and May. The bright tan-brown stems are an attractive
contrast to the flowers and grow five to six feet tall. An underused native that serves as
an adaptable shrub for shade or sun, it lights up the Woodland Path at Mt. Cuba in
springtime. It is excellent for massing and creates a dense habit. For a delightful spring
combination, consider planting with redbuds and flowering dogwoods.
Donated by Birmingham Botanical Garden
Persea palustris
This southeastern United States native will love that low spot in your yard where
rainwater collects. And it has been found to be a great plant for dry shade. Such is the
versatility of swamp redbay, a medium sized, broad-leaved evergreen tree distinguished by
the long shaggy hairs on its stems and underneath its bright green leaves. Because the
leaves are aromatic and spicy when crushed, European colonists found that the native
redbays could be used in cooking like their cousins, the bay laurels. Swamp redbay is
also the host plant for palamedes and spicebush swallowtail butterflies and Delaware is
at the northern end of its hardiness range.
Hammemalis virginiana ‘Little Suzie’
Never underestimate a petite woman. ‘Little Suzie’ is a small, but mighty one whose
many attributes don’t show up all at once. A shorter version of our native, fall-blooming
witch hazel, this new cultivar comes from Harald Neubauer of Hidden Hollow Farms
who named it after his wife. It was selected from a batch of seedlings in 1992 for its
compact habit and shorter internodes. It flowers freely from a young age and because
of the shorter internodes, flowers are packed closer together for a more dramatic effect.
Scented blooms of soft yellow appear here in October/November, making it a great
candidate for winter interest in a smaller garden bed.
Donated by Chrome Run Nursery
Cephalotaxus harringtonia ‘Duke Gardens’
From the botanical gardens at Duke University comes this handsome, spreading
Japanese Plum Yew, distinctive for its upswept arching branches. A perfect evergreen
for foundation plantings in full sun or part shade, it will lend an elegant look near the
house. Spreading four to five feet in all directions, it has a pleasing oval shape and
glossy green needles. Best of all, it’s deer resistant.
Donated by University of Delaware Botanical Gardens and Colony Nursery
Illicium floridanum ‘Halley’s Comet’
Florida Anise is a deer-proof shrub native to the southeastern United States where it is
found in rich moist soil along streams in the central Gulf Coast area. It thrives in part
shade and the evergreen foliage emits a pleasant fragrance when bruised. ‘Halley’s Comet’
has improved cold tolerance, faster growth, and better bloom. The red, star-shaped flowers
appear in May, vibrant against the dark green leaves. This culitvar was selected by
David Ellis and introduced by the former Magnolia Nursery of Chunchula, Alabama.

Trees Acer palmatum var. dissectum ‘Tamukeyama’
This extraordinary specimen has roots that go deep – literally and emotionally. Victor
Piatt, scree gardener at Mt. Cuba, remembers conferring with Mrs. Pamela du Pont
Copeland in 1999 when she asked him to “find a red-leaved weeping Japanese maple.”
Later, when shown a magazine picture of ‘Tamukeyama’, she was immediately taken by
its appearance and it became a fixture in the (then) Rock Garden. “This was the last
design element I worked directly on with Mrs. Copeland; because of this I wanted the
plant to be donated to the DCH for their RPA in her memory,” Vic told us. ‘Tamukeyama’
is an astounding five-foot weeping specimen, carefully dug from the grounds of Mt.
Cuba. A Pennsylvania Horticultural Society Gold Medal Plant, it is a hardy, long-lived
Japanese Maple known for its striking color and cascading branches. Vigorous and
tolerant of adverse conditions, it retains its red color throughout the summer.

Magnolia ‘Genie’
You have been granted three wishes. The Magnolia of your dreams has: gorgeous flower
color, a hardy constitution, and outstanding landscape value. After fifteen years of breeding
trials, Vance Hooper of Brixton, New Zealand, one of the most ambitious and creative
magnolia breeders of our times, has introduced a stunner. ‘Genie’ is a hybrid of Magnolia
soulangia x M. liliflora ‘Nigra.’ Smaller than most Magnolias at ten to fifteen feet tall, she
pops the cork on that bottle with sensational black-red buds that open to rich maroonpurple, tulip-shaped blossoms. Color saturates the fragrant bloom both inside and out and
the tree will begin to flower as a young plant in early spring. ‘Genie’ is the result of 15 years
of breeding and won the “Best Novelty Award 2011” at the world’s largest plant fair (IPM)
in Essen, Germany. A sunny location and plentiful moisture provide the best flowering
conditions. ‘Genie’ is already an exciting breeding prospect for future quality Magnolias.

Poliothyrsis sinensis
While touring the Scott Arboretum in summer 2008, world-renowned plantsman Roy
Lancaster, declared the Pearlbloom Tree the most impressive specimen he noted that
day. A fast-growing native to central China, it sends out 12-inch clusters of white flowers in
July that are similar to those of the Japanese tree lilac. Majestic and sturdy, it can reach
70 feet with a spreading crown when mature and has light brown, furrowed bark. Best
of all, it relishes our hot, humid summers and blooms when most trees have finished.
Grow it in sun or part shade.
Zelkova serrata ‘Ogon’
'Ogon' is an eye-catching Japanese Zelkova introduced by Barry Yinger while at
Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, Maryland. Its golden spring leaves are still bright in
midsummer when they transform to rich yellow-green. Leaves are finely serrated,
graceful, and clear-colored. The stems are outstanding in the winter landscape for their
attractive amber color and distinctive, vase-shaped branching habit.
43
Liquidambar ‘Slender Silhouette’
Plantsman Don Shadow walked the woods near a lake in Franklin County, Tennessee
15 years ago searching for a tree he was told looked like “a telephone pole wrapped in
vines.” He finally found it growing in a cove along the shoreline where it had come up
as a chance seedling. “It was 60 feet tall and no more than six feet wide and there wasn’t
a limb out of place.” From that tree came ‘Slender Silhouette,’ a gold medal-winner
among new plant introductions at Plantarium 2007 in Boskoop, Netherlands. This
columnar sweet gum has all the attributes of its parent, which unfortunately was cut
down. Perfect for narrow spaces and small gardens, it also has beautiful fall color and
produces few of the trademark sweet gum balls.

Styrax obassia
Fragrant Snowbell shines when the long racemes of white flowers dangle from the
branches in late spring. Bell-shaped, pure white flowers cascade from within the dark
foliage for an attractive contrast. Dark, pearl-shaped seed heads add interest later in
the season. This is a small tree that starts out pyramidal in shape and opening with age,
reaching 30 feet tall by 20 feet wide. Delivered and planted by superb horticulturists
within a 30 mile radius of Longwood Gardens.

Edibles from Around the World
Arctic Beauty Kiwis
Arctic Beauty kiwi (Actinidia kolomkta), the hardiest of all kiwi species, is native to the
forests of eastern Russia where it is called Kishmish. Jim Gilbert, owner of One Green
World/Northwoods Nursery, observed these kiwis growing in their native habitat:
“These cultivars came from the Far Eastern region of Russia, from forests that are the
home of Amur Grape, Magnolia Vine, and the Siberian Tiger. This is an exotic environment,
unusually cold (minus 35°F) despite its mid latitude (43°N). We traveled in this region
and saw both Actinidia arguta and kolomikta climbing in the walnuts and oaks.”
For mid-Atlantic gardeners, the beautiful vines are splashed with pink, white, and green
variegation in spring. Less vigorous than the fuzzy kiwis, they are happy to grow in some
shade and will provide fruitful ornament to a trellis or arbor. With its smooth skin, the
delicious, lime-green fruits can be eaten like grapes, skin and all. All Kiwis are great
plants for the home gardener - attractive, productive, and easy to grow vines, free of
pests and diseases.
44
Actinidia kolomikta ‘Hero’
Selected in the forest near Vladivostok, Russia, ‘Hero’ is prized for its particularly
abundant crops of large, sweet and tasty fruit. It is also apparently able to set fruit
without a male plant for pollination, a valuable trait still being investigated.
Donated by One Green World
Actinidia kolomikta ‘Pasha’
‘Pasha’ is a beautiful male selection with striking variegation that can easily be
grown by itself as an ornamental or used as a pollinator for female varieties.
Actinidia kolomikta ‘September Sun’
‘September Sun’ has the most colorful variegation for a female plant, as well as
good crops of large, sweet fruits.
Asimina triloba
The Pawpaw is native to the temperate woodlands of the eastern United States, but
almost everything about it is exotic and wonderful. From the huge, drooping leaves to
the tropical-looking fruits that taste like mango, pineapple, and banana combined, this
is a fabulous ornamental edible. Pawpaws thrive in a semi-shady location, happy in the
understory of larger trees. Velvety maroon flowers appear in spring on bare branches
and fruits develop under the protective umbrella of the long leaves. Come mid-late
September, the bizarre-looking fruits – like airborne potatoes – ripen. They are the
largest edible fruits native to America, but you’ll never find them in the supermarket
because they should be picked and eaten fresh from the tree. As ornamental trees,
pawpaws are gems – impervious to pests and diseases, delighted by our high humidity,
and topping out at 25 feet.

Diospyros virginiana
Our native persimmon is originally a forest tree that grows largest in the southern
Atlantic states, but is found from Florida to New York. It is prized by home gardeners
for its distinctive, late-season fruits that may be dried or used in baking. Wait until they
change from green to bright orange and your patience will be rewarded with a sweet
crop that clings to branches even after leaf fall. As the tree matures, its bark becomes
more ornamental, dark and fissured.

Diospyros kaki ‘Jiro’
Asian persimmons are a beloved and ubiquitous fruit tree in their native countries,
found in yards and orchards everywhere. They produce large, attractive fruits on small
trees that reach ten to twelve feet. ‘Jiro’s’ fruits are among the earliest ripening and can
be eaten while firm or allowed to soften for a more intense flavor. ‘Jiro’ is a handsome
yard tree that is self-fertile.
45
Diospyros kaki ‘Saijo’
Considered the best-tasting and sweetest of all the Asian persimmons, ‘Saijo’ produces
large, elongated, orange-red fruits fairly early in the fall. The medium-sized, compact
tree is a consistent producer and fruits are ready to eat when soft and tender.
Malus domestica ‘Honeygold’
‘Honeygold’ is a blushing golden delicious apple with a sweeter flavor. The super
cold-hardy trees bear high quality fruits that ripen in October and store well. The
creamy yellow flesh of this dessert or cooking apple is crisp, smooth, juicy, and sweet.
Plant with another apple tree for pollination.
Malus domestica Espalier
Can’t decide which type of apple you like best? Try four varieties on one tree. This
exquisite espaliered tree already trained into a tiered cordon style, has four grafted
cultivars for your eating pleasure. Part of the pleasure will be discovering which
varieties have been grafted, as that remains a secret. Espaliered trees allow the
maximum of light and air to circulate, and can be planted against a house or garage
wall or trained to a fence for best results.

Rubus idaeus ‘Prelude’
No one can resist raspberries and supermarkets know this. Grow your own and you
can laugh at those tiny half pints sold for $5 in the produce aisle. ‘Prelude’ is a great
“starter” red raspberry, as it’s such an easy and prolific bearer. Developed by Cornell
University at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, New York,
it is extremely hardy. Noted for its early summer crops, a high percentage of its fruit
matures in late June and very early July, and may bear in fall once established. Vivid
red berries are delicious and plants are vigorous and self-fruiting.
Rubus ‘Chester Thornless’
‘Chester Thornless’ Blackberries are legendary among small fruit growers. In mid-summer
the prolific canes produce masses of huge, dark, sweet berries that are easy to harvest.
‘Chester Thornless’ was developed by the United States Department of Agriculture and
is resistant to cane blight. Train it over a trellis for a unique edible climber. Canes bear
best on two-year old wood and fruits are perfect for jams, pies, and freezing.
Prunus avium ‘Sweetheart’
Extend the pleasure of the summer fruit season with ‘Sweetheart,’ a late-maturing
sweet cherry that is rapidly becoming popular. Semi-dwarf and vigorous, it’s perfect for
the home orchard because it is self-fruiting. While other cherries ripen from late June –
early July, ‘Sweetheart’ holds on until early August. Because it resists cracking, you can
site this delightful tree close to the house for easy picking.

46
Prunus persica ‘Golden Glory’
What a peach. ‘Golden Glory’ is a genetic dwarf that matures at just five feet tall, making
it ideal for a patio container or small home garden. It has stunning, deep pink flowers
that yield large fruit in mid-late August. A prolific bearer of attractively colored peaches,
the skin is golden with a pale red blush and flesh is juicy, yellow and delicious. Fruits
are free-stone and the tree is self-fruitful and very hardy.
Jostaberry
Introducing the Jostaberry - a cross between the American gooseberry and the
European black currant. This remarkable fruit was under development for more
than 30 years by the late Dr. Rudolph Bauer in Germany. A complex cross, Jostaberry
combines the best qualities of both parents with a thornless habit and flavorful, dark
fruit. In addition, it has immunity or resistance against major diseases and production
is higher than either of its parents. The vigorous shrub can produce up to ten pounds of
deep purple fruit loaded with vitamin C and antioxidants. Jostaberries can be used
fresh, baked, juiced or in preserves.
Vaccinium corymosum ‘Polaris’
‘Polaris’ also combines the best of both worlds with the denseness of lowbush blueberry
varieties and the fruit size and larger berry yields of the highbush selections. Fragrant,
white, bell-shaped flowers bloom in early May, followed by powder-blue, almost
metallic-looking berries in July. ‘Polaris’ begins fruiting early, yielding four to seven
pounds of berries from a single plant. In fall, the foliage turns a brilliant orange-red.
Citrumelo ‘Winston Salem’
Hardy citrus for the mid-Atlantic may just be a possibility with ‘Winston Salem,’ a hybrid
grapefruit that has come through some tough winters unscathed. Citrumelo is a cross
between the trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata), which is used as a cold-hardy rootstock,
and grapefruit (Citrus × paradisi). Trees are vigorous growers and the fruit is edible but
‘Winston Salem’ is still in the experimental stages. Here’s your chance to try it out at home.
The seed for this hybrid originated from a specimen in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

Inverbrook Farm operates a thriving and longstanding CSA program in West Grove,
Pennsylvania, where the historic farmhouse still stands at the hub of this family-run
operation. As a member of Inverbrook CSA you will have access to fresh, seasonal
vegetables from early June until the end of October. The produce is a diverse selection

Charlestown Café Club Dinner at the Garden of Michael Bowell
For many years, Joanna Reed, a noted horticulturist and gardener, hosted a garden tour
and dinner at her home, Longview Farm, as a donation item to the Rare Plant Auction,
one of many non-profit fundraising events she patronized. When she became ill in
1998, her neighbors Michael Bowell and Ellen Behrle, along with some friends, took up
the flag by preparing a benefit dinner for the Charlestown Nature Center. Guests were
treated to an entertaining evening of food, animals and antics at the home of Michael
Bowell and his garden business, Create A Scene. Such was their success that the friends
instituted the Charlestown Café Club, continuing Joanna Reed’s legacy of generosity by
preparing and serving a delicious dinner in a beautiful garden setting. Up to eight times
a year they volunteer their time, food, and energy to host dinners that benefit nonprofit
or charity organizations. Guests are served appetizers and drinks upon arrival, and then
given a tour of the extensive gardens, greenhouses and collections of plants and pets.
Afterwards, they sit down to a feast in the two-story Greenhouse/Conservatory. All
Club members are volunteers who contribute to the dinner from start to finish. As this
is a much sought-after event for a fundraiser, the Delaware Center for Horticulture is
delighted to be the beneficiary.

Rare Plant Auction® Chairs
I
t started with a rare, yellow clivia, and grew into an annual affair involving
more than 150 volunteers and thousands of hours of hard work. None of the
auctions would have been possible without the organizational skills and
tireless efforts of each year’s Chair. We express our heartfelt thanks for their
dedicated service.

Hockessin, Delaware
Celebrating our Top 10 for 2010
1. 1,500 trees planted – The most trees ever! Multiple events and locations added up to a
record-breaking year in New Castle and Kent Counties. The majority of these trees are large
trees (7’– 12’ tall) along streets and in urban areas.
2. More than 700 volunteers – Hundreds of dedicated volunteers and thousands of volunteer
hours were essential to our success this year. Their time was worth more than $185,000 –
equivalent to 10% of our financial budget.
3. 1,200 lbs of produce harvested from our urban farm – The second season of TheDCH urban
farm in Wilmington was a tremendous success. It even won a national award and $25,000
from the Garden Club of America. Additional raised beds were installed this spring, including
a 3’ x 40’ bed planted exclusively with blackberries. Some of the 35 beds are reserved for local
families to grow for their own use.
4. Discover TheDCH Week increased membership by 10% – Hundreds of people turned out for
a variety of events during our first-ever Discover TheDCH Week. New faces and long-time
members all enjoyed opportunities to celebrate plants and gardening.
5. 150 lbs of honey produced by our new beehives – New beehives don’t always produce enough
honey the first year to allow for a harvest, but our bees have been so happy in TheDCH gardens
in Trolley Square that we extracted more than 150 lbs.
6. New look, new website – After two years of listening to our supporters and working with
experts, we unveiled a fresh new logo, a new tagline and a new website. Try out the easy online
registration for events, membership and donations.
7. 11,400 flowering bulbs, perennials and annuals planted in city parks – Each year hundreds of
volunteers help us plant thousands of flowers in Wilmington’s parks. Next spring our public
parks will be filled with bright splashes of color and rivers of daffodils.
8. 30th Anniversary of Rare Plant Auction® – We raised more than $110,000 at the Pearl
Anniversary of our Rare Plant Auction.
9. Graduated 4th class of Return-to-Work green jobs – TheDCH hires previously incarcerated men
and women and prepares them for entry level positions in the landscaping and horticulture
industry. Since 2009, more than a dozen proud employees have planted hundreds of trees
throughout Wilmington and successfully completed our Return-to-Work program.
10. Completed 4 new green streetscape projects – Parking lots can be hot in the summertime, but
both lots at the corner of Delaware Ave & Dupont St in Trolley Square have dozens of new shade
trees and whole new look. A rain garden included in the Acme project is helping to control flooding.
We also continued our efforts to enhance railway embankments by removing invasive species
and installing attractive plantings of trees, shrubs and perennials. Drive past our most recent
plantings: North Dupont St in Trolley Square and an installation in Little Italy that won a
Delaware Nursery & Landscape Association award near the new mural on North Union.
