Fern - Christmas
The Christmas Fern, 'Polystichum acrostichoides', occurs in both dry and moist wooded slopes, moist banks and ravines. It typically grows in a fountain-like clump to 2' tall and features leathery, lance-shaped, evergreen (green at Christmas time as the common name suggests) fronds. The stocking shape of the pinnae also suggests Christmas! Crosiers (young fiddleheads) in spring are silvery and scaled.  Sori appear on the undersides of the pinnae only at the ends (last 1/3) of the fronds.   Christmas ferns are asymmetrical with a fine texture and have a moderately dense crown. The evergreen fronds provide good winter interest for the landscape. This fern does not spread but the clumps increase in size over time.  These plants serve as wonderful hosts for butterfly larvae and are great for erosion control. For best results, plant this fern in a garden in masses, or add to shade beds for year round color and contrasts with other perennials. This Christmas fern is popular because it is one of the few ferns that will stay green all winter long! * Evergreen * Fine textured * Non spreading

Hemerocallis Exotic Candy, Hemerocallis 'Exotic Candy', is a fragrant new daylily that will burst with color during the summer, and then reliably follows up with another surge of reblooms later in the season! Displaying a light pink flower that opens to a prominent dark rose eye and a bright green throat, ‘Exotic Candy’ shows excellent vigor and superlative garden performance. It has superb branching, a heavy bud count, and an energetic growth spurt that promotes rebloom; provides an impressive bud count of 25 to 30 blooms per scape, so it makes a glorious show in midsummer! Individual flowers last only one day, but since each plant produces many buds, the total blooming time of a well-established clump may last more than a month. Divide every 3-5 years, or when the number of flower buds and the size of bloom begin to decline. Use ‘Exotic Candy’ daylily for color in shrub borders and in perennial beds.  Once established, the daylily can be an excellent groundcover on slopes because it has roots that hold soil against erosion; attracts butterflies. ‘Exotic Candy’ also makes a beautiful floral arrangement! * Prominent “eye” * Vigorous * Superb branching
