New York Ferns

Thelypteris Noveboracensis

$2.65 sq. ft.

  

A little shorter in height the close relative to the Hayscented Fern, this feathery frond will brighten any area!  The lower leaflets on the New York Fern are tapered with a lighter colored stalk than the Hayscented Fern. A true beauty in the garden! 

 

 

 

 

 

Hayscented Ferns

Dennstaedtia Punctilobula

$2.65 sq. ft.

 

 A very tough, lacy fern that spreads fast.  It adapts to drier soil as well as damp.  Fine textured it has a fresh, spring color.  It is a medium grower to about 15 inches.  A drift of Hayscented Fern is so relaxing and pretty to view.  The crushed fronds do have the scent of fresh hay!  Golden fall color is a bonus.  A perfect plant to prevent erosion!

 

 

 

 

Partridge Berry

Mitchella Repens

This is a small creeping perennial Evergreen Herb with it's trailing stems reaching up to 30 cm long that root at various points.  It has opposite ovate-orbicular leaves which are dark green and shining on top and often streaked with white. Funnel shaped white flowers from April to July giving way to dimpled red or white berries in the fall.  A Wildlife delight!

   

 

Blueberry Sod

Vaccinium Angustifolium

$2.25 sq. ft.

 

An antioxident plant with four season beauty! In addition to tasty berries you get perky pink flowers in May; blazing scarlet fall color and red twigs all winter.  Blueberry makes a great accent or edging plant or just tear out the grass and plant your own blueberry field.  Always animal friendly!

 

 Don't forget if you do burn your blueberries please  remember to burn safely!

 

 

Bunchberry Sod

Cornus Canadensis

$2.65 sq. ft.

Nothing is more exquisite than this lovely ground cover.  It grows just to 3 inches tall and slowly spreads.  Exotic, 2 inch whorled leaves which are dark-green and shiny in summer, become wine-red in fall.  Charming 4 point white flowers from late spring to summer, followed by scarlet berries in the fall.  Definitely a must-have in any Natural Landscape!

 

Huckleberry Sod

Gaylussacia Baccata

$4.00 sq. ft.

 

A deciduous shrub often in dry areas approx. 1'-3' in height.  Huckleberry is a great ground cover for thin, rocky woods and often found on ledges.  The berrries are black and are the most delicious of its family.  Sweeter than a blueberry!  White to pink tubular flowers in the spring with an excellent fall display.  Attracts birds with the delicious berries and provides them cover.  Another Wildlife favorite!

  

 

 

 

Christmas Ferns

Polystichum Acrostichoides

$5.00 a bunch

 

* Limited Supply Available *

 

This Evergreen Christmas Fern has rich leathery green leaves that grow in bouquet-like clusters all year long!  The Christmas Fern grows 2-3 feet long and prefer humus-rich, loamy, moist but well-drained organic soil in part to full shade.  Christmas Ferns spread well in favorable conditions.  Easy to grow!  These are charming in the shade garden. 

  

Cinnamon Ferns

Osmunda Cinnamomea

$3.00 a bunch

 

Wonderful "Cinnamon Sticks!" Always an eye catcher and easily recognized.  The big bold Fern that can grow to 3 feet or more in favorable areas.  The unfurling fronds and stems have an appealing, rich wooly coating as they emerge from the ground in spring.  These beauties grow in moist woodlands, bogs, peatlands, thickets, swamps, ditches and stream banks.  A must have beautiful fern to compliment any garden!

 

Interrupted Ferns

Osmunda Claytoniana

$3.00 a bunch

  

An all-time favorite! This is one of the leathery ferns.  A large robust, deciduous fern.  The height on these vary by age and location.  It is a distinctive fern as it lacks spores on the frond backs.  One to six of the leaflets at mid-stem on a few of the fronds will become a fertile spore cluster therefore interrupting the pattern of leaflets on the frond stem.

Haircap Moss

Polytrichum Commune

$5.00 sq. ft.

 

The needle-like appearance of this moss doesn't reflect the softness of it when you run your hand across it!  Often remindes me of little pine trees even though they only grow about 1/2 inch to 3 inches tall.  Moss obtains all their nutrients from the air since moss has no true roots, moss plants require nothing more than a firm soil bed in a location with adequate shade, acidic soil and moisture to flourish.  Would love to have a home near your garden water feature.  Most spectacular in Rock Gardens!

  

Wintergreen Sod

Gaultheria Procumbens

$2.65 sq. ft

(aka Teaberry)

 

An Evergreen perennial, native of North America. 

This is a low growing, spreading shrub in the same family as the heathers.  This has long oval shiny dark green leaves with delicate white belled shaped flowers followed by aromatic red berries.  Wintergreen has been used both medicinally and as a refreshing, healthful tea, a tonic, stimulant, an astringent and for some chewing gums and candies.  Go ahead and tear open the leaf and enjoy the wonderful scent!
