ASPLENIUM scolopendrium $13.95 18” x 24” z 5 Hart’s Tongue Fern (Phyllitis scolopendrium) An unusual fern from a family found on every continent but Antarctica. Strap-shaped, leathery, glossy, bright green,16"-long fronds are undivided and resemble leaves more than fern fronds. Evergreen. Excellent in woodland areas or the rock garden. Appreciates limey soil, but easy to grow. A rare fern, found north of us on the Bruce Peninsula, but threatened in its N. American habitats. Few gardeners recognize this species in our gardens as a fern when they request it.

Lovely, unusual filigree appearance. A Victorian variety, described in 1894 and recently rediscovered. (Syn. Athyrium f-f. ‘Cruciatocristatum’) It is very vigorous and will quickly form a large, very attractive clump.

Highly sought-after we carried this for several years before we were quick enough to wrangle one for our own gardens. It’s also easy to grow. It prefers rich, moist soil in partial shade, but is also more tolerant of sun and dry soil than many other ferns.

Stunning planted with purpleleafed heuchera and golden hosta. The fronds are exceptionally graceful, with a lovely, upright, arching habit and their colour is a vibrant light green. The red stems always remind me of candy canes. An exceptionally attractive fern for the shade garden. Photo: Source . www.wild-things.ca 101 1-877-538-3228
