. . . are good things!
It's hard to remember every plant we have or would
like to have. That's why we keep lists. Our plant lists content information
about our tries at growing, general information on the plant and
photographs. |

over 200

about any of these either find the plant in the list above,

categories or locations in the left column.
Each plant

Red Coreopsis
Coreopsis
Plants form a bushy mound of ferny green foliage, bearing masses of daises that are a true ruby-red shade, with a tiny yellow eye. Prefers average to moist soil and a sunny location. Best treated as an annual in all but the mildest winter regions. Excellent for edging the border, but especially superb in tubs or mixed containers. Tolerates heat and humidity. Attractive to butterflies.

Ferns
Royal Fern
Osmunda regalis
A great big, bold, majestic fern of bogs, swamps, and acidic damp places throughout all of eastern North America. From its massive base, clusters of erect twice pinnate (twice cut) fronds shoot up, vase-like, to 5 feet. However, under normal cultural conditions of damp or wet light shade, expect these ferns to grow around 3 feet tall. Royal Fern adds interest and a strong architectural component to the landscape throughout the year. The fiddleheads (new fronds or leaves) of Royal Fern are those eaten as a delicacy, and as these uncurl in the spring, the plants look so delicate. Summer brings on the bold display of bright green.
