This superb cross between Painted Fern and Lady Fern will create a sensation in your garden by taking the best of both plants and creating a garden masterpiece. Rigidly upright and stately, this fern boast fronds of ghostly silverfish-gray-green foliage that will light up even the darkest landscape spot. Its tight form gives a formal look to the garden adding a look of neatness that dresses up the whole area around where it’s planted. Use it in groups for a great effect or as a backdrop for Hosta creating an excellent mix of color and textures.
Bright green, lacy fronds rise from the crown of this hard working Fern creating a fine textured, robust vase shaped plant that provides cover for ground frequenting birds and other landscape critters. This deciduous fern is vigorous, easy to grow and thrives in shady, moist areas, but can tolerate some sun and drier soils. Mass plantings of this delicate fern will make an outstanding groundcover in areas where other plants find it hard to survive and its fronds are perfect for use in fresh flower arrangements.
A very unique fern, Ebony Spleenwort has sterile fronds that are only 2-6 inches long who’s blunt evergreen pinnae alternate. The ebony name refers to its shiny black stalk that turns with age. It is one of the most drought-tolerant ferns, so while it prefers shade, finding a partially sunny/shady spot will do just fine, provided it’s kept moist enough-without being flooded. In nature, it is found along rocky wooded ledges, rocky slopes and mossy banks, but will make a lovely addition to your landscape.
Feathery ornamental fern that thrives in the shaded woodland garden. A great combo with thick leaved Hosta, Brunneras and other shade loving perennials.
