If there were a hit parade of ferns the
Japanese Painted Fern,
Athyrium niponicum ‘Pictum’,
would be a longstanding #1. Low growing and spreading, it is the most
colorful of the hardy ferns, with silver covering most of the frond,
sometimes with burgundy markings in the center. It is beautiful when
used in mass but the graceful arching habit also looks great as a single
specimen. It was formerly classified as Athyrium goeringianum 'Pictum'. |
Athyrium filix-femina 'Minutissimum'
is a dwarf selection of our native Lady
Fern. While it stays much shorter than the species, the clump stays
tight and fills in very thickly. For its size it is a good, moderate
spreader. |
Dryopteris
erythrosora 'Brilliance'
is a new colorful and more brilliant form of the
Autumn Fern.
The young fronds of this cultivar are lustrous and orange. Even the
fronds at maturity, though green, hold their glossy sheen. The growth
habit is identical to the Autumn but as a whole it is dramatically more
showy. A wonderful evergreen addition to the fern garden. |
|
Dryopteris
tokyoensis is one of our favorites of the Asian Wood Ferns. The
relatively narrow fronds are stiffly upright, in a vase form from a
central crown. It is sometimes described with light or
yellow green color … while new fronds are light green, mature fronds of
our clone (which I assume came from Dr. Mickel) have a rich, almost
blue-green color. One of the Mickel Collection™. |
|
Selaginella
uncinata, the
Peacock Fern, is one of the most
unusual plants we grow. Also known as
Rainbow Moss, from certain angles the iridescent foliage is an
almost unbelievably brilliant blue, changing with the slightest movement
of vantage point. The leaves themselves are finely cut and densely
spreading, with the look of a beautiful and intricate oriental carpet,
fitting for a plant of Chinese origins. Plants are only winter hardy when
well established. We recommend extra protection the first winter or two.
Northern gardeners may want to consider growing this as a pot plant. |
|
Selaginella moellendorfii
s a more upright form of Spikemoss, with bright green fronds, almost
conifer-like. In the south it may stay evergreen overwinter. |

Thelypteris decursive–pinnata, the
Japanese Beech Fern,
is an attractive Asian species with
light chartreuse green fronds, very upright in habit. This is a spreader,
but a slow and steady one, unlike some near relatives that can be
borderline invasives. It naturalizes beautifully in open woods. |
|
These are attractive evergreen
ferns that can provide a tropical look and contrast in the fern garden.
Cyrtomium
caryotideum is a little more open than other species with fewer
pinnae on the fronds. Many people have been successful growing these in
Zone 6, but it requires extra protection (out of drying winter sun) and
mulching overwinter. |

like the species with shiny green foliage, only smaller. Sometimes
listed as Cyrtomium ‘Mini Holly’. Makes a great subject for a shady
container garden. |

Nursery
Propagated Ferns - We do not sell ferns, or any other plants
for that matter, that have been collected in the wild. All of
our ferns have been nursery propagated. This not only protects
wild populations, but potted, nursery propagated ferns are
much easier to establish in the garden than plants dug in the
wild and shipped bareroot. |
