Mark's common name may reveal his quirky sense of humor, but if you saw the haphazard growth pattern you'd chuckle and agree. It may be a slow growing jade only a weird plant collector could love, but if you're looking for a Southwest scene in container, ground or outdoor railroad set-up, here's your miniature saguaro cactus stand-in. $ 4.79

Clearly its common name demonstrates how easy it is to have bonsai look with not much intervention. It grows into a tree on its own. While it'll eventually reach 3 feet or more, you have many years to play around with it before you have to haul out a wine barrel sized container. $ 4.79

Geez! I wish we could afford that nice digital camera about now! Use it as a ""tree"" for a dish garden or an interesting strawberry jar topper. $ 4.79

Take a clue from its species: argentea which refers to silver or white. Artistic strokes of creamy white shimmer to almost silvery highlights in the summer sun while the airbrushed pink margins deepen in hue. With such natural beauty and tolerance of our dry winter home, I don't mind scooping it into a container for our pleasure in December after we've enjoyed it outdoors in the warm months. $ 5.79

JAR GEM


Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Container, Garden Railroads, Groundcover, Miniature/Faery Garden, Ornamental, Walk About
Stuffing vigorously rooting strawberries in those multi-orificed jars is like shoving Winnie the Pooh through the rabbit hole. Roots fill the container quickly, and require thrice a day watering. Dust off the jars and bring them back to overflowing life with little care during the growing season by selecting plants appropriate, even lustful, for those challenging conditions. "Jar Gems"TM. are our collection of great looking flowering and foliage plants, many of which are hardy, that will grow and thrive in these tough containers. Remember, that for great looking containers, we recommend that you repeat some of your selections. You can find full descriptions of these plants throughout the catalog, or let us put together a combination for you (just tell us how many "pockets your jar has and where you'll place the jar) at a nice price savings.
