| 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 sport of ‘Marmalade’, this green selection exhibits the same robust, vigorous growth as its parent. Heavily ruffled, smaller lime green to chartreuse leaves form a compact, rounded clump. Compared to ‘Lime Rickey’, this is a larger variety that works well as a landscape plant as well as in containers. Tan colored flowers appear on short stalks in late spring to early summer. | 4D-South |  |

Touted by many as the best red to date, this H. villosa hybrid is incredibly vigorous, forming a full, dense clump of large, round lobed leaves. 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. This selection fills out containers fully and delivers an excellent garden performance. | 4D-South |  |

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. |

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. | 4D-North |  |

| Fern (Japanese Painted - Giant) | Athyrium niponicum |

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 (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. |

Leucothoe is an evergreen shrub for covering the ground in borders. Leucothoe 'Scarletta' has attractive leaves, which emerge as dark maroon, turning green as they mature, and changing to bronze by autumn. Plants prefer partial or deep shade, although will look almost metallic when grown in full sun. Leucothoe may look exotic and difficult to grow, but plants are hardy, and are ideal for shady borders with acid soil. Combine with other evergreen shrubs, especially those with golden foliage like Euonymus. Where soils are not naturally acidic, grow Leucothoe in patio containers using an ericaceous compost mix. |

Each leaf is deeply lobed with pointy edges, with an overall lacy texture. The centers of the leaves have burgundy blotches, like handprint made with paint. Ivory flowers appear just above the foliage in early spring. This foamflower is a semi-running type, forming a compact, dense, rounded mound that will have restrained spreading. | 4D-South |  |
