Mail order plants from Junker's Nursery


	CORYLOPSIS glabrescens var. gotoana This has the largest leaves of the species that we grow, but they are an amazing shade of green that is almost blue. The delightful primrose yellow flowers hang in bunches from bare twigs in February. Good autumn colour too. Tolerant of alkaline soils provided that the structure is good - ie not too wet in winter, not too dry in summer. £18.00

	CORYLOPSIS pauciflora The smallest growing of the genus (to 2m) with small leaves which are bronzy when young. Large primrose yellow flowers held singly, in March, before the other species. Fragrant. A truly beautiful plant but needs good well drained soil and a sheltered site. Not available this season

	CORYLOPSIS sinensis 'Spring Purple' A gorgeous form with deeper plum purple young growth becoming deep purple. Soft yellow flowers in dense racemes in April. Beautiful but not the most resilient. Soil structure is all important with this one and ideally it doesn't care for late frost either. From £18.00

	CORYLOPSIS spicata This large and relatively vigorous species has distinctively rounded, almost heart shaped leaves. The racemes of yellow flowers are equally memorable with prominent red stamens. Good autumn colour. From £18.00

	CORYLOPSIS veitchiana We find this species the easiest to grow on our heavy clay soil in a frost pocket to boot! It develops an upright habit, with long leaves which are often purplish when young. Large racemes of primrose-yellow flowers are sweetly scented. £18.00

	CORYLOPSIS veitchiana 'Purple Selection' This excellent selection of C. veitchiana has striking purple young growth. Although not as vivid as Spring Purple, we find it more upright and a much healthier, happier plant! Not available this season

	CORYLUS avellana 'Contorta' The Corkscrew Hazel is aptly named when you look at the twisty stems, making this a superbly architectural plant during the winter months. Adorned with catkins in spring, the stems make tremendous additions to flower arrangements. The best thing is that these hazels are so easy to grow, thriving even on our cold wet clay in a frost pocket! Only a few - please ask for details

	CORYLUS colurna 'Tetra Red' Essentially a purple-leaved variant of our native hazel, this species is the more vigorous Turkish version. It forms a large shrub or bushy tree resplendent in purple foliage all summer, but don't forget to pick the tasty large cob nuts in autumn. The usual rules for purple leaved plants apply - they will have best colour in a sunny site. Not available this season

	CORYLUS maxima 'Fusca Rubra' So many of you have commented on this one! The purple foliage in summer is very handsome, but the feature to catch the eye seems to be the catkins in spring which have a sultry purple colouring, reflecting the additional pigments through the plant. This one also produces copius quantities of nuts. Not available this season

	COTINUS coggygria 'Kanari' Such a pretty recent selection with clear, light green leaves through the summer, acid green flower plumes and refreshing yellow autumn colour. £15.00

	COTINUS coggygria 'Pink Champagne' This is well named as it produces great quantities of flowers that look like clouds of pink champagne! A lovely selection, seeming to be much more compact in habit, with distinctly smaller leaves. Wonderful pinky-orange autumn colour, as shown in the photo. Yes, it really is that colour - no filters or image enhancement have been used! £15.00

	COTINUS coggygria 'Red Beauty' Rounded red leaves are almost translucent. Sold out

	COTINUS coggygria 'Velvet Cloak' A lovely purple form with the velvety texture of its offspring C. 'Grace', but not as large. Not available this season
