Athyrium filix-femina
Athyrium filix-femina
Common Name: lady fern

Handsome crowns of feathery fronds are typical of this genus. Delicate and lacy with arching fronds and dark red stems at maturity. Strong-growing and dependable, lady ferns are great garden plants. Tough and easy to grow, this beauty is the right choice for perennial borders and woodlands alike. A breathtaking flush of new fronds appears in the spring, with new leaves appearing throughout the season for a continuously fresh look. Found in swamps, thickets and damp woods east of the Rockies.

Height: 24-48 Inches
Spread: 24-36 Inches
USDA Hardiness Zone: 4-8

Caryopteris × clandonensis
Caryopteris × clandonensis
Common Name: blue mist shrub, bluebeard

According to Plantipp, the motto of this stunning Caryopteris is big, blue & beautiful! We found that to be true in our own trial gardens here at North Creek. Its powdery grey-green foliage is the perfect skirting to present the long wands of stacked deep blue flowers. The flowers are bigger than other Caryopteris that we have trialed with long wands lasting weeks on end. It is a wonderful addition to the landscape or container garden and excellent for cut flowers. Superior low growing habit. 

Height: 30-40 Inches
Spread: 24-36 Inches
USDA Hardiness Zone: 5-9
