Roof garden plant list

Above from left to right: Viburnum dilatatum "Michael Dodge" (linden arrowwood), Hakonechloa macra (Japanese ribbon grass), Chionanthus virginicus (fringe tree), Ilex crenata, Dryopteris erythrosora "Brilliance" (Autumn fern), Viburnum plic. tom. "Mariesii" (doublefile viburnum), Azalea "Hardy Begonia" (blooms spring and fall), Camellia "Winter's Snowman", Fargesia rufa "Green Panda" (clumping bamboo).

Small trees and bamboos:

(4) Acer palmatum "Bloodgood"- Japanese maple
(1) Acer palmatum "Dissectum Atropurpureum"– Japanese cutleaf maple
(1) Magnolia stellata "Royal Star"star magnolia
(2) Franklinia alatamaha
(1) Chionanthus virginicusfringe tree
(1) Corylopsis spicatawinter hazel
(1) Hamamelis x intermedia "Diane" -witch hazel, red blooms.
(5) Phyllostachys aureosulcata "Spectabilis‟ - running yellow groove bamboo. Not a slow grower. Will, at some point, require arduous root pruning. Hard to recommend for containers unless that is ALL you are putting in there. We are sinking ours in thick plastic pots within in the main planters. It's an experiment.
(3) Fargesia rufa – clumping bamboo. Much better behaved.

  1. Thankyou,Marie. Even though almost all are beyond me, I have, at various times, grown most of these.
    I'm guessing your camellia is C. sasanqua?
    And good luck with the rudely rambunctious bamboo!

  2. Dinahmow-

    'Winter's Snowman' -- [C.sasanqua 'Narumi-gata' x C.hiemalis 'Shishi-gashira'] x C.oleifera 'Plain Jane' . Vigorous, upright to columnar growth. Lends itself to making a tall, narrow hedge. Leaves leathery, semi-glossy, dark green. Flowers are white, semi-double to mostly anemone, slightly cupped. Blooms from mid-November through December. Cold hardy to -23° C.
