Polystichum acrostichoides
Common Name: Christmas fern
While not as showy as some others, this fern makes up for it with its neat habit, easy culture, and its lustrous, nearly evergreen leaves. Often used in Christmas floral arrangements because it is still attractive in December. It is a wonderful companion for spring blooming bulbs. Found in acidic to neutral soils on shaded slopes and well drained flats. |
Height: 12-18 Inches
Spread: 12-18 Inches
USDA Hardiness Zone: 3-9

Stachys 'Helene Von Stein'
Common Name: lamb's ears
Also known as Big Ears, this low-growing selection produces a dense mat of woolly silver-gray leaves with an irresistible velvety feel. Although grown primarily for its interesting foliage, lamb's ear bears spikes of purplish pink flowers on tall stems that appear in summer. This cultivar is particularly useful to gardeners as its leaves won't melt in heat and humidity.
