Is it me, or we all falling back in love with ferns. Maybe I’m late to the party. But so many groovy fronds out there. With some 424 ferns on plantlust<\/a>, it’s hard to pick a favorite. I like them all. Who is with me? Our Sebright Nursery<\/a> Inventory is freshly updated with lots of new fern options–and loads of luscious hostas<\/a> too.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I’ve been strolling around my own garden taking stock, but it’ll be a few weeks before some of the deciduous ferns re-appear. Happy to report, I’ve quite a few evergreen lovelies.<\/p>\n

Not sure about the fern in front, but it might be this one. I’m open to persuasion.<\/p>\n

I record most of my plant purchases on a spreadsheet, and also take photos of plant and tag. It helps me narrow the possibilities when trying to identify a plant. I realized a little late, closeups that show only surrounding soil–and not which bed they’re in–aren’t all that helpful<\/p>\n

I have not treated this Dryopteris sieboldii<\/a> with adequate love and affection, but it’s hanging out in a pot patiently waiting to be replanted. I pulled it out to disentangle from a rambunctious Persicaria<\/a>. You know those roots are still lurking underground. I do love Persicaria, but it can be so pushy.<\/p>\n

I espied this fern while on a Catio Tour a couple years ago. I think it’s Polystichum setiferum Plumosomultilobum Group. So perfect. Haven’t stopping thinking about it. Corrections welcome.<\/p>\n
