Metallic Blue |
June, July, August, Clump-forming |
36-42 x 12 |
Deeply-cut Dark Green |
Japanese Painted Fern (Athyrium nipponicum) and Deer Fern (Blechnum spicant) make good companions, as well as Grasses, Astrantia, Astilbe, Actaea and Eupatorium. Other Companions from Perennial Resource. |
An excellent cut flower, unique for its large, draped sepal. Perfect to use in borders or at the woodland's edge. |

White flower spires are generally more demon-strative in front of darker back-grounds. |
|
July, August, September, October Erect form |
48 x 36 |
Deep Purple foliage on upright brownish-purple stems provides excellent texture and color to the landscape throughout the growing season. |
Soil - On the acid side of neutral, light sand and leaf-mouldy but able to retain moisture. Best sheltered in locations sheltered from strong winds. Requires support structure (Birch branch?) |
Adds architectural height and late summer bloom to a shaded part of the border or shade garden. Also effective in woodland gardens, cottage gardens and naturalized areas. Best in groups, although single plants have good specimen value once established. Try it at the back of a border, between evergreens. |
Actaea |
Adiantum pedatum Hardy to -37 degrees Centigrade (-35 degrees Fahrenheit), Grows in North America, Central and Eastern United States, Canada, Alaska, North India, Japan and eastern Asia. "Zones 3-8 native to North America and East Asia, the 8-20 forked pinnate leaf segments are in a horse-shape arrangement from the central stalk" from University of Vermont |
Ferns do not have flowers, but they do produce spores |
|
Clump form |
12-24 x 12-18 Spacing 10 (25) Easy to grow as long as the soil is loose and rich. |
Dainty, bright green fronds are held aloft on shiny black stems. The fronds are in clusters from the clump-forming rhizome. Brighter light will reduce the size of the fronds but full sun does not make for a happy plant! It is content in gardens from Zone 2 (where it is clearly one of the most ornamental options) to Zone 9 |
The fronds are in clusters from the clump-forming rhizome. Dainty, bright green fronds are held aloft on shiny black stems, creating a light, airy texture in the woodland garden. In rich soil and bright shade it will spread by shallow rhizomes to form a dense groundcover. Found in the humus-rich woodlands and moist woods of Eastern North America. |
They have extremely delicate fronds. This as well as tougher more sturdy ferns are decorative in varied arrangements - in a long solid line or in a deep and wide group or in twos or threes or even singly. |

Olive-Green |
Need to be protected from competition in the root zone. Plants disappear by midsummer (Summer dormant), earlier if they don't get enough moisture. Remove dead foliage and mark location of plants; even when dormant, they need to be kept moist. Tubers may rot in very wet soils like clay or alongside streams, rivers or lakes. |
Grow in a woodland garden, underplanting in a shady shrub border or a rock garden. See Nursery of Perennials, Ferns and Bulbs for Shade for other plants to put in the shade. Native in woodlands within Eastern USA. |

Humus-rich, preferably well-drained acidic soil. Protect from cold, drying winds, which will damage or kill the mid-green foliage. |
Grow in a moist woodland garden or peat garden, or in a shady border Native in mountain woods of Japan. Japanese name of renge-shōma |
