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

Oenothera fruticosa 'Fireworks'
Oenothera fruticosa 'Fireworks'
Common Name: sundrops
Confused for many years in the trade, we are proud to carry the true 'Fireworks'. Deep bronze foliage and red stems are contrasted by red buds opening to canary yellow blooms in June. The individual flowers may not last for more than a day or two, but they open in succession leaving the plant in continuous bloom. Burgundy rosettes in winter. More compact and darker than 'Summer Solstice'. The most popular cultivar of the Oenotheras!
Height: 15-18 Inches
Spread: 12-24 Inches
USDA Hardiness Zone: 4-9
