Bark exfoliates in papery plates, exposing the inner bark, colored gray-­‐brown to cinnamon-­‐
brown, to reddish-­‐brown; older bark becomes brown, develops a ridged furrowed character. Yellow fall color.

Leaves dark green, toothed towards the apex; flowers white, fragrant, borne in 3"-­‐8" long solitary, cylindrical, terminal racemes in July. Bark character varies from a polished cinnamon-­‐brown to exfoliating.
Foliage speckled and banded with creamy white, maturing to a dark green with pure white variegation. Flowers white, held on multi-­‐

Leaves glossy green; florets cupped, lilac-­‐like, held in flattened heads, misty lilac to pink.
Reliable rich blue flower production in Zone 7b.
Exceptionally colored foliage is edged with a broad band of white, the center marbled with gray-­‐green with an occasional touch of lemon-­‐
yellow.
Leaves two tones of green with a striking white variegation; flowers blue and white.
Blooms on new wood. Those that have grown this plant, even recommend heavy spring pruning to encourage more blooms.
Lace cap type flowers have cobalt-­‐blue fertile inner florets and pure white outer sterile bracts producing a striking color contrast.
Sterile florets are larger and more numerous, giving the plant a more dense, solid appearance when in bloom.
Plants reach 3' in height and 6' in width; flowers and foliage are the size of the type.
Flower heads are very large, usually 12"-­‐15" long; multiple tiers of bracts emerge above the older ones, creating a double-­‐flowered appearance.
A seedling selection with compact habit, ball-­‐like sterile flowers, and deep burgundy fall color.
A selection noteworthy for its flower bud hardiness; flattened clusters of blue-­‐purple flowers are effective for 3 weeks in June; plants 30" tall, 24" wide.
Pale pink or blue ray flowers; early-­‐flowering, vigorous, reaching 5' in height, and drought resistant.
Flat lace-­‐cap blooms encircled with large, light pink, round sterile flowers.

notes
Uchida' boasts larger flowers and is less recurved than the original, wild Rubrums. Brilliant, dark pink-­‐colored petals with white trim and light dots.
Flowers are an exceptionally vibrant and saturated ruby-­‐red. Plants bloom when young, although the bloom time is erratic, varying from August through October.
Sometimes referred to as the "Canadian tetraploid group" these selections began with the breeding program of Wray Bowden of Ontario. The results were hardier plants with larger flowers..
Flowering early spring. Abundant in coniferous and deciduous forests, especially in forest margins.
Although it can attain 10' in height under ideal conditions, it rarely reaches more than 4' in cultivation.
Flowers cream to pale yellow, borne in terminal cymes in early summer.
Like an ordinary solomon's seal increased to twice its normal size.
Dark green leaves edges with yellow on graceful arching stalks; white flowers in May followed by blue-­‐black berries.
Fronds 1'-­‐ 2' long, evergreen, arching from a slender, much-­‐branched, multiple-­‐crowned rhizome. Blades are once-­‐pinnate, linear, broadest at the base..
Fronds 1'-­‐3' long, erect, arching, evergreen, bipinnate, glossy dark green and leathery.
Fronds 10"-­‐28" long, erect and arching, evergreen. Fiddleheads, stipe and rachis densely covered with silver scales which mature to tan.
Fronds deep green, highly glossed with silver reverse. Heavy shag of brown on stems and fiddleheads that drop backwards like tassles.
Green foliage is evenly spotted with silver blotches and flowers are sky-­‐blue, borne in early spring.
Leaves spotted with white; flowers reddish-­‐pink.
Plants reach 4' in height with bronze foliage held on red stems; flowers dark pink.
Plants to 34" tall with dark green foliage edged in red. Flowers clear deep pink.
