THE SILVER GARDEN COLLECTIONS

99197 COLLECTION: THE SILVER GARDEN When does pewter or platinum develop into a silver shimmer; when does neutral gray (like those little grey cells) morph into a silver; is stainless steel blue a silver? Why worry? All these pelted or nacre glazed glossy (shiny?) aluminum, the felted or pearl flecked, or white and gray powdered foliages will add elegance and chill drama to any garden, container, or conservatory design. We will select five plants to help you acheive high drama and sophisticated contrast--but we need to know where (conditions) and how (your aim) you will use thse in order to send the best suited to your plans. So let us know if outdoor urns and baskets or windowbox spillers are nedded; if greenhouse containers or deck design fillers are appropriate; or, if perhaps a standard or tall plant for a thriller is in you plan. Will this be in full sun or shade, a windy patio, or enclosed greenhouse? let us know and we will send five labeld quicksilver glitter plants which are appropriate at PRICE: $22.00 . For an extensive rage of 375 photos of plants silver, taupe, pearl gray, and ice blue, please refer to Karen Platt's SILVER LINING book.

Large dramatic species with pink toned new foliage hardening into rich green arching fronds. Must have high humidity to perform well--loves a large Wardian Case as its home (this is far too large for a small or narrow terrarium); nonetheless, if given a cool bright windowsill and a pebble tray, it will also become an impressive specimen given time and humidity; always a star in any hobby greenhouse. Always a popular and much sought after dramatic rarer plant!

52010 AECHMEA CHANTINII AMAZONICA BRO TGH HP PRICE: $ 22.50Massive purple blushed silver urns with wide crossbands further acented by the ornately toothed edges; red flowers. We send mature offsets packed in moss of this impressive Bromeliad.

56786 BEGONIA AQUAMARINE [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.75(upright rz) Fabulously unique: thick rope rhizomes arch out under the showy lobed leaves with dramatically silver splashed midribs--giving a stained glass window effect when viewed from below. Not for the faint of heart.

56026 BEGONIA CUBENSIS BEG HP CGH PRICE: $8.75 (fr,s) Masses of small waxy blue-green leaves on dimunitive stems; lovely Cuban species often called the "Holly Leaf Begonia."

56059 BEGONIA HIRO [HYB] BEG HP CGH PRICE: $ 14.50 (rz / rex) Fabulous silvered Begonia crestibruchii mimic. This is available from time to time--always available unless yet another blog declares it the most fab of the rococo period. Fabulous platinum silver leaves trumpet erectly with flourishes of crested ruffles; best in cool conditions.

Johnson hybrid with pink blossoms over the rex like foliage. Just in case you've neglected this a bit and the foliage fails, never fear for the slightly tuberous base will resprout new stems; conversely, be sure to pot in very easily drained soil in a shallow pot so as to never risk overwatering and thus rotting this tuberous base.

30583 CALADIUM HUMBOLTII ARAC TGH TERRARIUM $ 8.50 "Miniature Caladium" Tiny green arrowhead leaves heavily marked with white, on delicate short stems. Perfect for your wardian case even though it will still probably insist on a winter dormancy. Seldom offered anywhere, even though no book on houseplants can resist a photo of such a remarkably striking minature.

81615 CAREX ALBULA FROSTED CURLS CYP HH HT PRICE: $ 6.75 Unusual tufts of mahogany chocolate sedge-like leaves frosted pale pewter on twisted tips; very distinctive appearance in the garden or as a container plant (especially as you'll want to bring in the bleached tightly clumped zone 8 wonder for your winter garden indoors)--now quite popular when used as the "mane" or "tail" of mossed topicary animals where this very fashionable "trendy" color seems quite perfect.

80744 CENTAUREA GYMNOCARPA CAPRI COMP HH CGH HT PRICE: $ 6.50An upright shrub from Capri with deeply dissected snowflake "Dusty Miller" leaves completely covered by a rich felted tomentose silver--which filigreed leaves completely hide the wooly white woody stems (repeat three times, very quickly). If wintered over, expect cute clusters of early rosy violet, fluffy, rayed flowers. Perfect in containers and borders. Not a Senecio or Artemisia, although a mimic of both through and through. This starts out as a spindly silvery stalk and finishes as a full bodied dramatic knock-out in any garden or container design.

50009 CHAMAERANTHEMUM VENOSUM ACAN HP TGH PRICE: $8.00 "India Plant" is a low growing beautiful Brazilian native with leathery flat leaves with silver netting. Small stature and dramatic coloring assure its continuing popularity as a basic in any terrarium.

20463 CHIRITA SINENSIS HISAKO [HYB] GES HP TERR PRICE: $ 4.50 Flared rosette of very succulent serrated leaves richly traced with silver, from which rise stout stems with soft lavender pouched flaring blossoms of considerable substance. Handsome Nakayama hybrid more free-flowering than species clones. Certainly one of the easiest of all houseplants, equally at home in the windowsill, terrarium, or greenhouse/plantroom--but most smashingly splendid when grown under lights. When customers "cut down" on the number of their pet houseplants, this is never tossed out!

41078 CISSUS SICYOIDES ALBO-NITENS VIT HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.50 Growth habit of the typical "Curtain Ivy," with the more waxy wide leaves producing a lustrous silver nacre patina on their surface. A visual treat. Many cascading aerial roots can form a "curtan" effect.

Good succulent bonsai with compact rounded heads of pink star flowers whose glossy petals are more wide and blunt than those of most C. ovata cultivars. If the leaves develop any surface scars, this usually means that the ambient conditions are too humid.

60272 CRASSULA OVATA PALLIDA [HORT] CRA HP CGH PRICE: $ 12.00 "Silver Jade Tree" more sensitive to chill than the other cultivars. Not really silver, but leaves of a pallid rine-gray tone. Another unusual Hummel selection rarely offered as grows very slowly and deliberately--not to be confused with the similarly colored C. arborescens which is far far larger statured. Much prized by collectors.

53374 CRYPTANTHUS SNOW GOOSE BRO HP TGH PRICE: $ 12.50 Wide dramatic big starry rosettes evenly frosted silvery gray--developing a scrufty surface in high light and good exposure.

43140 DICHONDRA ARGENTEA SILVER FALLS CONV CGH HH PRICE: $ 4.00 Excellent trailing cascading vine with slim stems covered with small hoof (Ginkgo?) shaped shimmery silver leaves; also useful outdoors, as is perfect as a quick (but tropical) prostrate groundcover in rockeries, or between stepping stones. A fabulous silver accent for any red or purple foliaged plant; an excellent foil for blooming cascading plants in summer hanging baskets; also very successful in window boxes and urns.And when you find a blossom you will realize that you are growing a relative of the Morningglories!

50014 DICLIPTERA [JACOBINIA] SUBERECTA ACAN CGH HP PRICE: $ 3.75 Cupped oval gray leaves, richly velvety haired surfaces giving a silvery tone, on low arching stems; showy brick-red two lipped rust orange designed blossoms in "King's Crown" heads appear during winter. From Uruguay, where this is known as the "Hummingbird Plant," this undemanding carpeting or cascading "shrimp" cousin (while traditionally a greenhouse basket or groundcover subject) has recently become popular as an undemanding attractive summer urn and windowbox item adding a soft velvety tone to any combination.

60359 ECHEVERIA DORIS TAYLOR [HYB] CRA HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.75 Originally received from Hummel, this is an heirloom hybrid of Echevaria setosa with E. pulvinata, with resultingly stout stubby stems thickly covered with rosettes of fat glossy leaves thickly pelted with white hairs.

60632 ECHEVERIA RUNYONII MONSTROSUS CRA CGH PRICE: $ 12.00 Frilled rosettes of fleshy crested-edged leaves with gray glaucous pearly surfaces distinguish this as the "Topsy Turvy Plant" because the alabaster leaves look as if they are tightly packed upside down into a tight ball--like an ivory football mum! Full sun brings out the best pearly toned surface and encourages the mid-winter wands of peach toned blossoms. Looks quite complicated, yet easy to grow with adequate light.
60718 ECHEVERIA SUBRIGIDA CRA HP CGH HP PRICE: $ 15.00 We are working with this wonderful silver Echeveria. We may have it ready by summer. Check back. Please email us if you might be interested. Email Us if You Like This Plant

58360 FITTONIA VERSCHAFELTII SILVER ANNE ACAN TERR TGH PRICE: $ 6.50 A cultivar of "White Nerve Plants" with unusually bright white veins in a startling network on strong papery leaves. Best in a Wardian Case as may be too vigorus for a small terrarium.

65666 GASTERIA GLOMERATA SILVER FORM [HORT] LIL CGH PRICE: $ 8.00 Very congested hemispheres of multiple disticous heads of very short fat silvery gray leaves. Coral toned tubular blossoms presented on short erect stems are for more showy than any other species we have observed. Fat offsets are sent. Very very beautiful when grown to a full specimen comprising a hemisphere of obese platinum bow ties.

65649 GASTERIA HUMMEL'S SILVER [HYB] LIL HP CGH PRICE: $ 15.00 The wonderful fat leaved "Silver Tongue" with whorled ranks of succulent platinum colored short fat leaves with some occasional green random lines. Not the "Bowtie" disticous form also known by this name; this is the Gastrolea type.

65117GASTERIA SILVER STRIPES [HYB]LIL HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.25Hybrid or selection we received thirty plus years ago from Ed Hummel; Upright, rigid fans of strikingly pebbled green striped coriaceus leaves with ridged surface of gray-silver. Very easily grown even though it looks so challenging with its unique designs resembling expensive jewelry.

60363 GRAPTOPETALUM PARAGUAYENSE CRA HP CGH PRICE: $ 3.25"Ghost Plant" Fat angled amethyst-gray leaves, with a silvery bloom giving a "mother-of-pearl" effect, on swooping thick stems; modest white flowers. A traditional favorite potplant for the sunny windowsill, for that pearly foliaged patio accent plant and for that hanging basket showoff; certainly imperative in any succulent wreath. Pretty, succulent and easy--sounds like the perfect plant date.

54548 HEDERA HELIX SILVER DOLLAR ARAL HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.75 Wide three-lobed leaves of pale gray green tones brushed nearly to the edges of the white margins; keeps contrast well.Strong growing cultivar.

60953 HOYA PINK SILVER [HORT.] ASC TGH HP PRICE: $ 5.50 Heavy waxy leaves strewn with silvery pink brushings on vigorous compact vine; clusters of fragrant blossoms not quite as easily produced as those of the H. carnosa tribe. Tolerant of less than ideal conditions; perfect lush decorative focal point on any windowsill; perhaps still the most satisyfing and visually stunning hanging basket subject of any of the "Wax Vines."

10484 HUMATA TYERMANII POLYP HP PRICE: $ 6.25 "White Rabbit Foot." The arched, vigorous foot is pure white and very furry. The fronds are lacy and deep, rich green. Excellent as a pot plant, outstanding in a hanging basket for a houseplant.

60381 KALANCHOE BE-HAROTII [HYB] CRA HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.25 "Beechleaf Feltbush" believed to be a hybrid originating with Ed Hummel from whom this clone derives close to thirty years ago. Tightly stacked succulent gray-furred leaves on stubby, slowly branched gray furred stems; very attractive if given adequate light saturation., eventually forming a low wide felted mound. Much ignored by writers, but quite wonderful.

60879 KALANCHOE BEHARENSIS NAPOLEON'S HAT CRAS HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.50 Heavy rigid notchless triangular leaves with dusky rough felt surfaces. Enormous given space & time. This easily grown felted cupleaved beauty is shamelessly showy when added to a mixed summer container.

Unique species needing saturated (but never burning) light to form the most silvery flour dusted surface; needs adequate moisture to reach its potentially impressive proportions--but a more horizontal than vertical habit.

60393 KALANCHOE HILDEBRANDTII CRA HP TGH PRICE: $5.25"Silver Teaspoons" perfect description of the platinum hair pelting the oval leaves with narrow petioles; these remarkable leaves are rigidly ranked on slim extremely erect stems. Madagascar native usually offered as K. orgyalis `Silver' (but orgyalis is a much larger statured, less symmetrically upright growing, more tannish toned plant) in the West Coast trade.

61009 KALANCHOE LAETIVIRENS BIG MOMMA CRA HP TGH PRICE: $ 1.75 Also known at Kalanchoe HBG 73004, from Huntington Botanic Gardens originally. Upright stout short trunks support thick upturned pearly surfaced fleshy leaves (so wide as to be nearly round in outline), each heavily ringed by a margin of cute baby plantlets--every kid needs one. Perhaps the most architecturally pleasing of this category as the foliage is both very compact and very heavily laden with offspring.

60411 KALANCHOE PUMILA CRA CGH HP PRICE: $ 4.00 "Flour Dust Plant" Purple-hued notched flat leaves are dusted in silvery-white; modest small Madagascar native with violet urn-shaped pink hued flowers in refined panicles. Compact small habit--must have very high light to maintain the bright silvery tones; needs good air movement to encourage the flour dustings so admired by its fans. Indeed, this startling yet modestly proportioned charmer is easier to grow on a sunny windowsill than in the more humid greenhouse.

60419 KALANCHOE THYRSIFLORA CRA CGH HP PRICE: $ 4.25 "Flap Jacks" or "Oyster Plant" common names reflect the considerable popularity of this South African species with flat oval diagonally-placed leaves with an arresting silvery effect from white mealy surfaces, & with a distinct red rim appearing when grown in high light.

60423 KALANCHOE TOMENTOSA EUROPEAN CLONE CRA HP CGH PRICE: $ 5.25 Dense wider "Panda Plant" leaves than the typical species form with very bright white pelting and blackish toned toothed tips as long as given very bright light and good air movement.

Remarkable unidentified collection from the mountain sides of Rio with erect wiry stems topped with thick diamond boat-shaped leaves, in threes, each with shimmering silvery dreamy central variegation. Cute cheerful yellow blossoms, thus the "Goldie Locks" plant perfect for window ledge, under lights, as well as a patio pot plant during the summer. Eventually creating its own miniature "standard" shape on its wiry woody stem unless you pinch the growing tip to encourage branching. A gem for any light gardener; quickly winning over designers of terrarium landscapes as well. Quite a jewel in a terrarium or Wardian Case plant combination. Sometime called Oxalis Silver & Gold.

42176 PELARGONIUM SIDOIDES GER HP CGH PRICE: $ 12.00 "Velveteen Geranium" Velvety rounded leaves silvery and quite downy; faintly aromatic wands of black velvet flowers with red undertones. Native from Lesotho to the Cape, thus forms a tuber in time to cope with rocky exposed haunts.

Choice easily grown dwarf for the terrarium. And the rather hopeless name? Well, it means "Curved Ovule" allowing the micropyle to come quite near the funicle. We assume this is why other plants simply love to have it grow near them in the terrarium.

53538 PEPEROMIA CAPERATA ARGENTEA PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 6.00 Beautiful Brazilian "Silver Ripple" The waxed corrugated leaves solid silver-gray. "Caperata" means wrinkled or puckered.

53576 PEPEROMIA GRISEO-ARGENTEA PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.75 Formerly P. hederaefolia and thus called the "Ivy Peperomia" similar in habit to the caperata croud, but with leaf surfaces more flat, less corrugated.

68194 SANSEVIERIA TRIFASCIATA HAHNII SILVER FROST AGA HP TGH PRICE: $ 35.00 SOLD OUT UNTIL 2010 Small rosettes of corrugated, embossed leaves of gray-green irregularly striped silver-gray, cream-yellow, ochre, and edged in darker green.

68198 SANSEVIERIA TRIFASCIATA HAHNII SILVER MARGINATA AGA PRICE: $15.00 Now! PRICE: $10.00 "Banded Birdsnest" Special Price for the Fall 2010. Metallic gray-green wide leaves margined in creamy yellow margins. Beautiful out-flared wide cupped rosettes become larger than most hahnii cultivars. This tulip-shaped cultivar is slow to offset, thus scarce. Extremely sensitive to chill and intolerant of low light intensity--yet remains the most ordered of the entire birdsnest crew.

77236 SANSEVIERIA TRIFASCIATA MOONSHINE AGA HP TGH PRICE: $ 10.00 Also marketed from time to time as `Silver Moon' or `Moonglo.' Handsome large open vase of creamy silver-green wide overlapping leaves--certainly one of the most beatiful of all the truely reliable houseplants. European introduction of obscure derivation; always a visual treat. Has the same habit as 'Futura,' but there the similarity ends!

68240 SANSEVIERIA TRIFASCIATA SILVER QUEEN AGA HP TGH PRICE: $10.00"Silver Snakeplant" of a more reduced stature than most cultivars. Elegant narrow silver gray lance leaves maintain clear color in elegant upright vase-rosettes.

30542 SCINDAPSIS EXOTICA [SPECIES] ARAC TGH HP PRICE: $ 22.00 Newly offered from the new robust clone; this looks just like the slower growing clone we have had for years. Possibly because of meristeming, this clone grows robustly and has all the same earmarks of the original plant. Order this at the new lower price. Leathery wide lance leaves of glossy grey green, nearly obscured with bright aluminum grey. Remarkable and beautiful "Exotic Pothos" neither a Pothos, nor Raphiodophora Exotica.

60574 SENECIO FULGENS COMP HP CGH PRICE: $ 5.50 "Scarlet Kleinia" A truely big-bottomed daisy with swollen caudiform base supporting thick stems bending under spirals of succulent toothed leaves richly dusted blue (violet pruinose in full sun); topped with large striking red paint-brush flowers--very dramatic combined with the foliar colors. Natal native demanding very perfect drainage and sunny location. But what a performance!

60584 SENECIO MEDLEY-WOODII COMP HP CGH PRICE: $ 12.50Short stems hold wide flat leaves, keeled below, with thick silvery-pelted surfaces fading to a glabrous violet-brown--prefers cool and humid-less conditions to do well (that is, to maintain a beautiful pelt). Yellow ray-flowered Natal native. Usually sent as an URC in dry moss. Not easy, but distinctive.

30997 SPATHIPHYLLUM HI HO SILVER [HYB] PRICE: $18.00 Very elegant "Peace Lily" selection from Europe's 'Ceres' with each deep green glossy leaf completely covered with bright pewter white pinstripes. A very distinctive pattern of variegation for this tried & true houseplant. Seems to have disappeared from the trade almost before it was available.

50072 STROBILANTHES LACTATUS ACAN HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.75 "Brazilian Shield" Shimmering purple green leaves with highly decorative zones of silver-white; Easy, reliable houseplant. Glorious as a conservatory groundcover; very electric when paired with 'Exotica.'

60793 TALINUM PANICULATUM PATENS (PANICULATUM) VARIEGATUM POR HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.00 "Fame Flower" or "Jewels of Opar" Slender erect stems bear obovate ivory-margined fleshy leaves; terminal pinkish-red flowers followed by berries create a haze of color much prized by designers. A Caribbean native, so avoid winter chills. A wonderful addition to any outdoor container, windowbox, even bedding as the clear white variegation brings out the intensity of any nearby foliar colors--plus, a beautiful pot subject by itsself, performing quite contentedly on a sunny windowsill.

53266 TILLANDSIA HARRISII BRO HP TGH PRICE: $ 15.00 A natural hybrid recently described by Werner Rauh. Very attractive silvery-gray felted succulent leaves are rigidly clasped onto an upright nearly woody stem. We thank Ann Harris for providing all of us with a great new Bromeliad named for her husband.

53270 TILLANDSIA MAGNUSIANA BRO TGH PRICE: $ 7.75 Dainty small species with many threadlike leaves, each covered with glittery silver scales, forming a dense feathery rosette from which peep violet flower petals. Different forms share this name. Mount on wood and mist regularly. We send divisions in dry moss--but do not advise you keep this in the moss. Do not pot this extreme miniature!.

50548 TRADESCANTIA SILLAMONTANA COMM HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.00 "White Velvet" or Gossamer Plant" leaves heavily pelted with white silky gossamer wool; showy magenta-lavender flowers; best if severly pruned seasonally.

Try the leaves in a sandwich! Ever so sophisticated addition to any tub of tropical herbs, giving a dramatic vertical accent. Now you can have your variegate and eat it too.

59394 ZEBRINA PENDULA SILVER PLUS COMM HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.25 A selection of the "Silver Banded Inch Plant" with very showy broad bands of glittery silver on each succulent leaf if grown in very high light. Much more dramatic in baskets and urns than the species form.
