Dolls Eyes

Three seasons of interest on this wonderful native American. Fragrant white soft and fluffy flowers over lush green dissected foliage in Spring.

Actaea r. 'James Compton'

Bugbane

A wonderfully airy, architectural backdrop for the garden, the dark purplish-black foliage will compliment everything around it. Especially attractive when combined with variegated or yellow foliage. In late summer, sweetly fragrant, white flowers tinged pink sway in the wind above the masses of foliage. Though the young leaves tend to be green, by the second season they have deepened to a dark purple-black. Measuring only 3' tall, this selection is similar to, but shorter than 'Hillside Black Beauty'. Syn: Cimicifuga

Adiantum venustum

Himalayan Maidenhair Fern

Elegant, graceful and delicate. Among my most favorite of ferns, this hardy maidenhair is semi-evergreen and must be trimmed back in early spring to let the new growth through. New fronds emerge bright bronze-pink in Spring and mature to a bluish-green by the chills of autumn. Does not like areas with hot humid summers.

Aegopodium podagraria 'Variegatum'

Snow-on-the-Mountain

Also called Bishop's Weed and Goutweed. Liven up those boring shady areas with this beautiful bright white and green groundcover. Has umbels of white flowers in the spring. The variegated is less invasive than the species but it is still a very vigorous spreader, coming to a stop when it hits full sun. Before ordering check your state's banned plant list. It can choke out small plants but can be a perfect filler and a gorgeous bright spreader for under trees and shrubs where little else but weeds will grow. Shear back or even mow whenever looking poor to get a fresh flush of growth.

Ajuga reptans 'Arctic Fox'

Bugleweed
