Woodwardia areolata

Netted Chain Fern

Zones: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

A deciduous fern widely ranging in the eastern US in moist woods, the Netted Chain Fern forms spreading colonies from its branching and creeping rhizomes. Glossy green sterile fronds grow about 2' tall and have 8 to 10 broad segments. The texture is soft. Fertile fronds are stiffer, narrower, and more upright. The leaflets or pinnae of both fertile and sterile fronds have conspicuously netted veins resulting in the common name, Chain Fern. This fern is easy to grow in a moist shaded spot and will form a fast ground cover with constant moisture. Cat# 1476 -more info-

Sedum nevii

Nevius Stonecrop

Zones: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

Nevius Stonecrop is fairly uncommon in the southeast occurring on limestone and shaley cliffs in sun or light shade. In Tennessee, it is an endangered plant only growing along the Ocoee River gorge in the southeastern corner of the statee. Tiny, blue-green, succulent leaves form evergreen, 3 inch high tuffets with early summer starry white flowers with purple anthers on 4 inch stalks. Although delicate in appearance, Nevius Stonecrop is really quite tough. It likes very good drainage and sun or part shade and dry to moist conditions. Try it with other rock garden types like Alumroot, Birdsfoot Violet, 'Corbett' Columbine, Firepink, Glade Savory, or Cumberland Rosemary. Cat# 1315 -more info-

Echinacea x 'Now Cheesier'

Now Cheesier Coneflower

Zones: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

A new coneflower hybrid from Terra Nova Nursery, 'Now Cheesier' has 3", cheesy yellow flowers with large, golden cones. It is a bit more orange than 'Mac n Cheese'. Flowering stems are upright and well-branched. Plants are less than 2' tall and a tad wider. As with all of the coneflowers, flowers start out more intensely colored and fade over time. They want full sun, good drainage, and average to dry BASIC soil. The coneflower hybrids do not like acidic soils and winter moisture. Mid/late-summer, dry-growing, flowering companions could include Terra Cotta or Paprika yarrow, Pink Muhly Grass, and Russian Sage. Best planted in late spring through very early fall.
