Village Nurseries thinks Dicksonia antarctica is probably the best known of all the treeferns. It has been grown for its ease of cultivation, great beauty, and cold-hardiness. It is probably the most commont treefern in Australia as well. In the wild it can be found growing throughout the forests of eastern Australia, Tasmania, and some sub-Antarctic islands where the temperature seldom if ever rises above 65°F. The name "Tasmanian treefern" is misleading since the vast majority of them are not in Tasmania.
This species is probably the largest of the Dicksonias, occasionally reaching the height of 50 ft. though 20 ft. is more the usual. The fronds most often grow to about 8-10' in length, but under exceptionally good conditions, fronds as long as 14' have been seen. The uncurling fronds are covered with soft, reddish-brown hairs. Growth is moderate, but trunk development is relatively slow - about 1" per year. Some in coastal California have grown 3" per year. In pot cultivation the fronds will be smaller and trunk development will be slower.
This evergreen perennial has variegated leaves that are a dull green with creamy-yellow marginal stripes that produces clumps of long, upright narrow leaves that reach 4 feet tall. The flowers rise above the foliage and have outer white petals with a golden area near the base and the inner petals are white flecked with brown at the base. Flowers year round in coastal southern California gardens with individual flower lasting only one day, but are quickly followed by new flowers. Flushes of flowers appear on roughly a two week cycle which has given this plant its common name of fortnight lily. The fortnight lily is very drought tolerant in shade but can also be grown in full sun with regular to occasional irrigation. Seems to bloom best with regular watering. A good container plant or use in mass.
A superior selection with increased tolerance to heavy, poorly drained soil and hot, humid environments. In Southern regions, this variety is resistant to root and crown disease, unlike the regular species. Exotic white flowers with yellow-orange markings appear on tall stalks and do not set seedpods, resulting in a prolonged bloom period. Improved foliage is a brighter green with wider and longer leaf blades.
Digitalis purpurea (Foxglove, Purple Foxglove, Lady's Glove) is a flowering plant native to most of Europe. It is easily grown in average, well-drained soil. Full sun to part shade. Foxglove prefers moist, organically rich, acidic soils and grown in part shade. It is important that the soil not be allowed to dry out. Foxglove is a biennial and can establish colonies in the garden that will persist for years as if they were perennials.
Flowers are especially attractive to hummingbirds. The plant leaves are a source of the drug digitalis and are highly poisonous. Foxglove is a late spring bloomer that reaches its peak around the time roses begin to bloom. After Foxglove flowers the plants can become somewhat scraggly by late summer. Individual flowers resemble the snipped off fingers of a glove, hence the common name of foxglove.
Diplacus species is a large plant that is also called “Monkey Flower” plant. Monkey Flower is a 1-3 ft. perennial with masses of creamy to yellow colored flowers in early summer. The flower color varies as the ecology of the site where they grow varies. Monkey Flower likes part shade. “Monkey Flower” plant looks good with regular summer watering when it’s hot. They flower for many months if you deadhead.
Shrubby plant that will twine if given support. Deep green leaves tinged bronze, when new, adorn trumpet shaped flowers of white. Best in full or part sun. Protect from cold and extreme heat. Should be treated as annual or brought inside during Winter in Northwest. Water regularly.
