Dark ruby double flowers bloom at the height of spring, delighting all who see the remarkable starry petals. Rare and exquisite, it smolders among spring-green ferns and golden-leaved feverfews and echoes black and white China pinks' deep hues. Fertile, well-drained soils best. Shade tolerant. 2-3'

The unusual flower of our native wildflower, Jack-in-the-Pulpit is a spring woodland favorite usually growing 16-20″ tall. It is a charming plant with very unusual foliage and flower. The unique shape and color of Arisaema triphyllum make it an excellent choice for the shade or woodland garden where it should be planted in rich soil and shade to partial shade. Bright orange-red berries follow the flowering in the fall. Annually switches between male and female based off of growing conditions. 

Brilliant salmon pink blossoms in a stately, arching plume form. The flowers are very   large, open, and drooping, making them very different than the typical astilbe. 20” foliage mound of dark green, lance-shaped leaves and large, loose, weeping panicles of flowers on arching stems. Young foliage may be tinged with bronze. It is an excellent large ground cover, edging plant for shady areas and very effective on pond or stream banks. 2.5-3'

Very tall, plume-like, stately fronds and grows in symmetric, vase-shaped clumps.  Fertile stalks are found in the center of the ring. The fertile “beads” are green when young and brown when ripe. This is the only species of fern of   which the fiddlehead is edible. This deciduous fern is at its most beautiful in spring when the large, pale green, lacy fronds start to unfurl. One of the best foliage plants for areas of moist, dappled shade. 3'

Clump-forming perennial (typically to 12″ tall) of maple or ivy-like long-petioled leaves (3-5″ wide) which are an attractive deep purple   above and beet-red beneath. Foliage color may fade to a bronze-green in hot summers. Tiny, pinkish white, bell-shaped flowers in open, airy panicles on slender, wiry, dark red stems extending well above the mound of leaves, typically to a height of 18-22″ in late spring to early summer. 

A favorite woodland wildflower. Produces loose clusters of trumpet-shaped pink flower buds that turn blue when the flower is fully opened. Virginia Bluebells grow well in any garden soil but prefers moist rich soils. Another spring ephemeral, by the end of June the plants are completely dormant. The stems of the plant are subsucculent and nearly hollow, so the plant is fragile. If left undisturbed, this species will thrive and form large colonies. 2'    

Christmas Fern gets its common name from the evergreen fronds that are sometimes used   in holiday decorations.The ‘Christmas’ Fern is dark green and typically grows in a fountain-like clump and features leathery, lance-shaped, evergreen (green at Christmas time as the common name suggests) fronds. Stocking shape of the pinnae also suggests Christmas. Crosiers (young fiddleheads) in spring are silvery and scaled. Evergreen fronds also provide good winter interest for the landscape. 2'

Lemon-yellow flowers, blue-green foliage and fuzzy seedpods complete the package with this precious little woodland, spring ephemeral. Reseeds but does not become invasive. 18″ clumps. March to May, clusters of bright   yellow, 2-inch buttercup-like flowers appear and are followed by nodding green hairy pods.
