Chrysogonum virginianum var. australe
Chrysogonum virginianum var. australe
Common Name: green and gold

One of our favorite native groundcovers for the woodland garden. Yellow daisy-like flowers cover 6" evergreen foliage in spring. Rosettes of leaves slowly spread stoloniferously. Looks great with columbine and Virginia bluebells. This golden star is very similar to Chrysogonum virginianum 'Allen Bush', but has shorter stems and stolons that spread above ground. With a compact and low growing form, this plant has deep, shiny green foliage and golden, star shaped flowers.

Height: 6 Inches
Spread: 12 Inches
USDA Hardiness Zone: 5-9

Osmunda cinnamomea
Osmunda cinnamomea
Common Name: cinnamon fern
Brilliant green lacy fronds gracefully arch outward in stately vase-shaped clumps. In early summer narrow fronds emerge as vertical spikes of cinnamon red brown in the center. Especially striking when planted in groups. Prefers a moist shady site, but tolerates more sun in cooler zones.
Height: 2-5 Feet
Spread: 2-3 Feet
USDA Hardiness Zone: 2-10
