A plant’s performance is governed by the total
climate: length of growing season, timing and
amount of rainfall, winter lows, summer highs,
wind, and humidity.
The Sunset Western Garden Collection offers tools
like this brochure and comprehensive plant tags
that will help you choose the most suitable plants
for your specific climate area and garden.
Look for these familiar icons:

USDA ZONES 5–9 SIZE 4’ H x 4’ W
SUNSET ZONES 3B, 4–26
Buxus are the staple plant for edging, hedging, and topiary. Baby Gem is very compact, and will need much less pruning than others, making it ideal for lower hedges and containers. Branches can be used as cut foliage in arrangements or wreaths.
‘Everillo’ EVERCOLOR® CAREX
Carex oshimensis ‘Everillo’ PP21002
USDA ZONES 5–11 SIZE 12–18” H x 12–18” W
SUNSET ZONES 3–9,14–24

USDA ZONES 9–11 SIZE 12” H x 12–18” W
SUNSET ZONES 5–9,14–24, 26, 28, 31
We love Cistus. Poor soil, drought, salt, wind, heat...They take it all! Add deer, pest, and fire resistance, what’s not to love? This new charmer stays compact without pruning, and even looks great when not in bloom. Works well as a border plant, or in containers.
