Shade-Loving Plants

Ostrich Ferns - So....I'm not a tall girl at 5'2" but I'm standing in the ferns to give you an idea of how tall and majestic these are on our farm! It's almost primeval, like I expect to see T-Rex advancing around the corner at any moment LOL. Native to North America, these beauties have been gracing forests and gardens for centuries, their timeless beauty captivating generations of nature lovers.  Growing 3-5 feet, they are incredibly hardy, and naturalize easily but not in a way that's invasive. They thrive in shade and in dappled sun.  Number available: SOLD OUT

Astilbe - Adored by butterflies and bees, a gazillion (not the actual number LOL) tiny flowers make up their enchanting feathery plumes. Their foliage is delicate and fern-like....nature's own lace. But don't let their delicate look fool you; these plants are very hardy!  They come in various shades of white, pink, and red. They will grow in full shade but will do best with some dappled sun during part of the day.  Bloom time is late spring/early summer but does vary by plant. Number available: 2 white, 2 pink, 2 red

Hosta - This is just the plant to help you experience the fabulousness of foliage! Rockstars of the shade garden, these versatile plants look tropical, but they are extremely hardy, with many having a bottom temperature threshold of -35 degrees! They come in a staggering array of varieties, and although prized for their foliage, they also have cool spikey flowers that emerge in summer.  They thrive in dappled sun or shade, and do well in outside containers also. Number available: 2 (different varieties; contact us to learn more)
