Cercidiphyllum japonicum 'Claim Jumper' is a splendid new gold-leaf selection of the popular Japanese kadsura tree from our friends at Heritage Seedlings

Being a wine grower

it must be grown bone dry

with the stems and flower buds often served with eggs

The foliage turns golden in fall before going to sleep but returns in spring with clusters of pale blue flowers at the tip of each branch

Hymenocallis durangoensis Edimentals Cercidiphyllum japonicum 'Claim Jumper' isHymenocallis durangoensis is another of the wonderful garden worthy North American native spider lilies, that are sadly, rarely grown. Hymenocallis durangoensis hails from Durango, Mexico, where it forms 2' tall clumps of narrow, very upright, glossy green leaves. The clumps are adorned with spikes of fragrant, white, star shaped flowers that emerge for us around early June. Full to part sun and moist soils are best.
