Diphasiastrum digitatum, better known as fan clubmoss, is a type of moss that grows in the shadiest of habitats. The entire team at TN Nursery is proud to be one of only an elite group of horticulturists cultivating fan clubmoss.
Fan Clubmoss Grows Naturally in the Forest, But it Tolerates Most Full-Shade Habitats
Fan clubmoss takes its name from its unique, other-worldly appearance. This moss is an ancient, perennial plant with leaves that resemble tiny clubs. The leaves have an interesting mossy texture and a scale-like appearance. They are lance-shaped, with a sharp-looking point at the tip.
Someone might encounter this low-growing mossy plant in coniferous and oak forests. Fan clubmoss dots the floors of densely wooded areas, giving the appearance of dainty little cedar trees in the most unexpected places.
Conversely, it also grows contentedly along shady spots in coastal areas. Generally, this plant lives in temperate regions of North America. You should have excellent results if you keep this moss in a full-shade place.

A sometimes-overlooked application of Diphasiastrum digitatum is its usefulness as a houseplant. They add natural charm to any room that has low sun exposure. A lack of a sunny windowsill makes houseplant success somewhat challenging, and this moss could be an excellent remedy.

The lovely Trillium luteum, also called yellow trillium or yellow toadshade, is a native species to the United States. Originating in the southeastern Appalachian region, they bloom in the middle of spring, bringing vibrant yellow when many summer-blooming flowers are awakening for the season.
These perennial plants originally came from the wooded forests of the mountains. They love full shade and will tolerate partial shade. They also require soil that drains well and organic woody materials as a planting medium. Yellow trillium is a hardy plant. It's disease-resistant, pest-resistant, and drought-resistant. Usually, average rainfall totals provide enough moisture; however, you may need to assist with watering during a dry spell.
TN Nursery customers often order yellow trillium plants to brighten up a rock garden or natural area or as a border planting in a shade garden. It is certainly versatile enough to use almost anywhere shaded.
The Cheerful Yellow Trillium Blooms at the Perfect Time Every Spring
Yellow trillium will wake up for the winter in the earliest days of spring, begin to unfurl its stems and leaves for the season, and blossom in mid-spring. The timing is ideal--it often appears after the early flowering bulbs end, but the summer perennials have not yet awakened.
The yellow trillium stem grows from a robust root system. The deep-green single stem grows to about seven inches. Whorls of broad oval leaves emerge in a pleasant silvery green color from the stem. The mottled leaves have gold shading that adds charm and visual interest.
The trillium name comes from the gorgeous flower, which opens to display three slender and elegant petals in a beautiful lemon to a bright yellow hue.
The flowers bear cute little berries. Although the fruit is inedible to humans, your backyard critters--small animals and birds--will enjoy the feast.

Caring for Osmundaregalis
Royal Fern might be one of the easiest-to-care-for plants you will find. The key to successfully growing this species is finding the best location. It prefers damp to wet, acidic soil but does not prefer continuous flooding.

Maidenhair Fern
$5.19
Maidenhair Fern
Maidenhair Fern: The Maidenhair Fern is a perennial fern species that grows in humid and temperate areas of the United States.
You might also recognize them by their other names:
Rosy maidenhair
Northern maidenhair
Silver dollar maidenhair
American maidenhair
Don't let the many names trick you--they all refer to maidenhair ferns. The Maidenhair fern belongs to the Adiantum genus, which contains over two hundred species. Its scientific name,adiantum, comes from the Greek word adiantos, which means unwetted.
TN Nursery finds these ferns a favorite for gardeners who live in densely shaded or forested areas, especially if they have consistently moist soil, as you might find near a creek or stream.
Maidenhair Fern has an unique appearance
Maidenhair fern fronds grow from sixteen to twenty-six inches long and form an intriguing softly-rounded oval shape. The spring-green leaflets are shallow and contain two or three forked veins. The veins have a more prosperous, darker green, making a stunning contrast against the softer hue of the leaves.
Despite being robust, the maidenhair fern has a deceptive appearance, that of a delicate plant, due to its tiny leaves. Some describe the leaves as feathery or lacy due to foliage comprising many small, fan-shaped segments.
However, most describe the delicate leaves as "hair-like," thus lending this fern its common name.
The leaves emerge in late winter or early spring. The earliest leaves of the season are an attractive salmon color, but they soon turn a true spring green.
How to Care for a Maidenhair Fern
Maidenhair fern is gorgeous when you plant it in the middle or back row of a border planting or as a stand-alone specimen in a shade garden or water garden. It's also suitable for growing along the northern or shady sides of your home's foundation for a display of lively spring green.
It grows well in shady locations and is easy to establish. It forms large colonies over time, spreading from a dense root system. It takes little care other than watering. Occasionally, you may wish to dig up unwanted growth and divide it into smaller sections.
Maidenhair Ferns are available at TN Nursery

Virginia creeper contains five leaflets, but poison ivy always has three leaflets. You may often find these two plants growing together in the same place.

Start beautifying your outdoor spaces today with Wild Ginger Perennials
Wild ginger: Asarum candenese, or the wild ginger plant, is a North American, perennial native species that originated deep in the rich, shaded forests of the east coast to the Appalachian mountains.
Early explorers found wild gingers in shaded valleys, on high wooded slopes, and under dense canopies of forests. This plant is a true shade-lover and will not fare well in sunny conditions.
However, when you plant wild ginger in a habitat that recreates those optimal conditions, you create the perfect environment for a hardy, low-maintenance plant. You will do some prep work to plant wild ginger, including selecting a profoundly shaded spot and adding well-amended, loose soil with high moisture but good drainage.
Wild ginger has a mildly spicy fragrance that might remind you of sipping a cup of that old cure-all: ginger ale.
Wild Ginger Makes Excellent Ground Cover in a Shade Garden
Deeply shaded gardens can present a tricky challenge. Not many pretty perennials seem to prefer full shade, gardeners often lament. That's when TN Nursery recommends wild ginger. Because of its affinity for deep shade, Asarum candenese works beautifully in those yards.
Plant it as a ground cover in the deepest shade, and it will spread well, filling in the bare spots over several growing seasons.
The Handsome Good Looks of Wild Ginger
Wild ginger leaves are lovely emerald green in color. They are large, measuring about six inches long and wide, and form a heart-like shape. Pronounced veins give the leaves a somewhat leathery look on the top. Despite the leather-like appearance, the leaves are soft to the touch.
The plant produces tiny, bell-shaped, coppery flowers with a slightly fuzzy finish. However, they are so dainty and camouflage so well with the stems that they remain hidden by the large leaves.

It needs a full-sun to partially-sunny spot in the garden if you want to see the glorious purple blooms. You can plant it in the shade if you need a low evergreen vine; however, it will not likely blossom in the full shade.
They require watering only during extended periods of no rainfall, twice-annual fertilizing (before and after bloom times), and well-amended soil. They are relatively easy-natured and won't demand much of your time.

Multiple stems are glossy and dark green. The small leaves grow in an opposing pattern along the stems; each leaf is smooth, green, and tiny--about an inch long. Because of this lush but low greenery, it sometimes appears like a green mat or carpet.
Four oval flower petals with gently rounded ends make up a blue flower. Some call this flower "Quaker ladies," as they form a pattern resembling an old-fashioned head covering Quaker women wore.

Bluets are versatile, hardy, and practical in many applications in landscaping. Here are some excellent ways to use bluets:
Garden border: Bluets are the perfect petite plant for a garden border's front (low) row.
Near a water feature: Bluets love high moisture content. If you have a shady fountain that splashes water droplets all day, bluets will benefit from it.
Accent flowers for a walkway: Plant bluet next to your walkways or stepping stone paths; the short height adds color but still stays neat in appearance.

Mapleleaf Viburnum Is Charming and Intriguing
Mapleleaf viburnumoozes natural charm. In the early weeks of spring, the showstopping white or cream flowers are among the earliest bloomers. Each ethereal blossom is petite, under a quarter-inch wide, with five little petals forming a tiny bell shape. Despite its smaller size, it makes an immense impact as these small flowers join in large, attractive, fluffy clusters.
The flowers fade in about two weeks, and the four-inch long, glossy, toothy-margin emerald leaves appear and remain for the rest of the growing season. The foliage of this shrub is unapologetically full, lush, and green.
