Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A useful, narrow-leaved fern that deserves more attention. Unlike its cousin, Coniogramme japonica, this fern (recently elevated to species level) remains smaller and tighter in formation, reaching about 3' in width and 15-18" in height. Truthfully, it doesn't look much like a fern but closer to a dwarf bamboo. Excellent for hillsides and thicket plantings beneath high-canopied trees where rich, moist soil is guaranteed. Part sun to light shade best. Hardy to USDA zone 7.
lowly expanding clumps of 2' evergreen fronds are almost too nice to be real! Rare and very slow to propagate so get one before they're gone! Easy to grow, happiest in light shade in moist, loose soil (takes some dryness once established). Beautiful in ar
Unique fern with glossy green, narrow, ribbon like foliage of approx. 10” long pinnae that taper at both ends. Semi-stoloniferous rhizomes. Plant in dappled to full shade in well drained, moist soil. Size: 12” to 18”. Zones 7b to 10. Evergreen.
