| Barrenwort | Epimedium alpinum |
|
In this selection, plants form a bushy mound of dark green leaves, bearing sprays of cherry-red flowers in mid to late spring. Although they will take a couple of years to reach a mature size, plants are long-lived and very sturdy. Old leaves should be pruned to the ground in late winter to show the flowers to best effect. Drought tolerant once established. Plants may be divided in early spring or late summer. Beautiful bronze foliage color in winter. | 11C-North |  |

A wonderfully airy, architectural backdrop for the garden, the dark purplish-black foliage of 'James Compton' will compliment everything around it. Measuring only 3' tall, this selection is similar to, but shorter than 'Hillside Black Beauty'. It is especially attractive when combined with variegated or yellow foliage. Though the young leaves tend to be green, they quickly deepen to a dark purple-black if planted in some sun. In late summer, sweetly fragrant, white flowers tinged pink sway in the wind above the masses of foliage. |

When it emerges in spring and then again in fall it is fiery red, mellowing only slightly to mahogany red in the heat of summer. Dark red stems carry pink flowers in early through late summer.

Heuchera 'Magnum' is a giant Heuchera villosa hybrid that lives up to its name by reaching 1' tall x 2' wide with huge 10" dark purple leaves that take on a silvery cast as the season progresses. The clumps are topped with thin stalks of small white flowers in late spring. This plant is a Heuchera villosa hybrid. The villosa species is a large, late blooming type that exhibits an increased tolerance of high heat and humidity over other species. Most produce cream flowers in midsummer, though they are grown more for their fantastic foliage. H. villosa is native to the southeastern United States. |

'Amber Moon' is useful for brightening up the shade garden as well as providing beautiful long-stemmed flowers for fresh and dried bouquets. The foliage emerges bright chartreuse yellow in spring with a tinge of red pigment in the newest leaves. It provides a bright spot of color and lacy texture to the shade garden in spring and then greens up a bit by late summer. | 11B-South |  |

A favorite since Victorian times, with gracefully hanging fronds. Excellent in hanging baskets or ina container on a stand. Boston Ferns are one of the easiest ferns to grow indoors. It's also one of the top rated plants for removing air pollutants from the air and because of its almost insatiable appetite for water it pumps out large amounts of water vapor into the nearby air, thereby increasing humidity. | n/a |  |

There are many different appearances or “looks” under the generic name ‘Compacta’, as it mutates rapidly. This strain is kept in short production runs in tissue culture in order to keep true to form with a uniform growth habit and appearance. Compacta has pinnae (leaflets) that are wavy and full with shorter fronds to give it a more compact presentation suitable for 4-6 inch pots and hanging baskets. | n/a |  |

| Fern (Japanese Painted - Giant) |
|
Like Athyrium n. ‘Pictum’ on steroids, this giant painted fern was discovered at Plant Delights Nursery in the mid-90s and is thought to be a sporeling of ‘Pictum’ and the Lady Fern. It forms a massive, arching clump of silvery fronds with green highlights and dark purple stems. Like the Lady Fern, ‘Godzilla’ spreads slowly where it is happiest in moist, loamy soils. Grow this fern as a low maintenance filler in shady borders combined with large hostas and Aralia ‘Sun King’. |

| Fern (Lemon Button) | Nephrolepis cordifolia |
|
'Lemon Button Fern' is a fairly small sized cultivar of the common sword fern that can grow fronds (stems) up to 10” long and are lined with tiny little leaves. Because of it’s appearance, it is also called the Fishbone Fern. When the slightly yellowish green leaves are crushed, it is said to smell of lemons, hence the name. It is moderate to slow growing and should not reach more than 12” in height and width. The Lemon Button Fern prefers evenly moist soil, and as most ferns, it does not appreciate direct light. A perfect small plant for use as a table fern in 4 to 6 inch pots or in dish gardens. Its short fronds have small leaflets along its stem and it has a very exotic appearance not like most ferns. |

| Fern (Northern Maidenhair) | Adiantum pedatum |

Maidenhair fern has a delicate appearance, forming a medium sized mound of arching black-stemmed fronds with light green leaflets arranged in a wide fan. Excellent foliage for using in cut flower arrangements. Plants take a couple of years to reach mature size, appreciating a rich soil that stays evenly moist. Not a good choice for dry shade under thirsty types of trees. Clumps may be divided after 4 to 5 years. | 12A-South |  |

| Fern (Red Stemmed Painted) | Athyrium niponicum |
|
A recently introduced deciduous fern which is similar to A. n. 'Pictum'. It has silvery-green fronds, but the stems and veins are much brighter red. (Note: This red color takes 2-3 years to develop.) Its broad habit makes this cultivar a good groundcover for moist, shady areas. It grows quickly if provided with moist, well-drained soil. An excellent foil for any other perennial, its silvery fronds set off all the other colors in the garden. Try combining it with tiarella, hosta, myosotis, or pulmonaria. |

| Ginger (Canadian Wild) | Asarum canadense |
|
A highly popular groundcover, Wild Ginger's large heart-shaped leaves can be 6" in diameter, and its sturdy rootstocks create a dense network that creeps to cover woodland slopes. Once established, a cover of Wild Ginger can fend off Garlic Mustard and other invasive in the woodland environment. As a woodland native this deer resistant plant enjoys shade and tolerates a variety of soil types. An attractive dark red flower, usually hidden from view by the foliage, blooms in early spring and fades fairly quickly. | 11B-South |  |
