Adiantum is a deciduous or evergreen fern with shiny black stalks bearing simple or more usually pinnately divided fronds, the segments fan-shaped, oblong or rounded, carrying spores under reflexed marginal flaps -
Adiantum aleuticum is very similar to A. pedatum but noticeably different when compared together. Adiantum aleuticum is native to the western half of North America and East Asia. It is a very hardy fern, and, despite its delicate appearance, very tough. 'Imbricatum' is a dwarf selection with green to blue-green foliage and purple wiry rachis. This variety forms a dense clump and is very easy to establish in good humus-rich, moist soil in shade. -
Deciduous, semi-evergreen or evergreen ferns, with stout, erect or decumbent rhizomes and shuttlecock-like rosettes of lance-shaped to ovate, pinnately divided fronds. Semi-evergreen fern with rosettes of arching, very narrow fronds, crested at the tips. -
Dasylirion serratifolium is a species of Sotol from southern Mexico. However, in cultivation it is more of a 'catch-all' name for a mixed group of hybrids that have green leaves with toothed margins and terminal tufts. For all practical purposes this is unimportant to anyone other than a dasylirion specialist - in the garden they make a stunning focal point for the arid border along with Yucca, Nolina, Agave and Chamaerops with their fine-leafed 'fibre-optic lamp' appearance that contrasts well with other spiky plants. Alternatively their shape is perfect for pot culture, when they can be taken under glass for winter. -
Attractive charcoal black stems hold pale green leaflets creating fronds 16 cm tall. Eventually increases to form a colony. -
From the garden of Virginia's Nancy Swell comes this stunning lady fern with silver-white fronds and a decidedly upright habit. Leaves age to light green with new fronds appearing throughout the season. Upright with a beautiful formal appearance that really stands out in the shady garden. This fern really prefers shade and will stand up with all fronds perpendicular to the ground in full sun. -
The Narrow Hart's Tongue fern differs from the plain species, unsurprisingly, by having narrower leaves but also with an undulating margin giving an extremely attractive rippling effect to the plant as a whole. It is also a touch smaller than the species when mature, tolerant and a must for fern collectors. -
Cannas are vibrant tender perennials that produce bold leaves and showy flowers in shades of red, orange, yellows and pinks. It is a useful summer bedding plant for both containers and borders, but does well in cool conservatories in summer -
The papery flamboyant blooms and interesting foliage of tree peonies gives the impression that the plants are delicate. Thankfully, the complete opposite is true. Tree peonies are long-lived, hardy shrubs provided they are grown in a suitable spot. The common name is misleading as they are not trees but deciduous shrubs. -
A hardy and relatively fast growing dasylirion that seems to be one of the better ones for the UK. -
Nolina nelsonii is the perfect choice for the dry, sunny border or for the desert planting schemes, a free draining, gritty and sandy soil is required. When mature the plant is trunk forming, highly architectural and sculptural -
Interesting plants of the Aroid family that grow well in semi shade to deeper shade. Half hardy and will probably survive winter in the warmer parts of the UK if mulched. Has large deep green leaves and yellow flowers and grows up to 100 cm
