Leatherwood Fern

Dryopteris marginalis

"The Leatherwood Fern, `Dryopteris marginalis,' is also called the Marginal Shield Fern. This evergreen fern will typically form a non-spreading vase shaped clump that is around two feet in height. This woodland fern can be most often found in shaded crevices of rocky ledges and bluffs. Leatherwood Ferns have grayish green, leathery fronds that are deeply cut and can reach almost two feet in length. This fern prefers loamy moist soils, and will grow best in a cool location of the garden. Afternoon sun should be avoided. The evergreen fronds are attractive and will provide good interest to a winter landscape."

Kwanzan Flowering Cherry

Kwanzan Flowering Cherry

The Kwanzan Flowering Cherry Tree, `Prunus serrulata Kwanzan,' will rapidly grow to its mature height of twenty to thirty feet.  This deciduous tree is one of the most popular flowering cherry trees available on the market.  It has clear pink, double blooms, with multiple petals like a carnation.  The flowering period is three weeks long.  Once the blooms have been spent, they will give way to light green foliage that has a red tinge.  This beautiful ornamental flowering tree is also known as the Japanese Flowering Cherry Tree. 

 




Silver Brocade

Silver Brocade

The Artemisia Silver Brocade, `Artemisia stelleriana,' is a compact, silver-white perennial plant with a height of fifteen inches and a spread of over two feet.  This wooly plant produces yellow flowers in early summer that are not very showy.  This plant prefers sandy soil but does need a well drained location with full sunlight and a small amount of afternoon shade.  This plant can be paired with Echinacea Purple Coneflower or Rudbeckia Black Eyed Susan to add interest to any garden or accent fresh or dried flower arrangements. 

 


 

Mars Grape

Mars Grape

The Mars Grape (Blue-Purple), `Vitas labrusca Mars,' produces seedless, medium sized grapes that are perfect to serve fresh on the table, as well as in making jams and jellies.  It is very similar in character to the Concord grape.  This is the most disease resistant variety of grape that we carry, and the fruits will ripen in mid to late August.  Grape vines can also be grown as ornamentals or screens in the landscape.
