Cattail Plant (Typha latifolia) Cattail Plant: Typha latifolia, or the common cattail plant, might be the most easily recognized water-loving species in the United States. The species is agreeable, a native of North America, South America, Europe, and Africa. It will thrive in almost all USDA plant hardiness zones in either full sunshine or filtered sun. Most people know the cattail plant for its presence in swamps, marshes, ponds, and river banks throughout the country. They are more than majestic--they are an essential contributor to their ecosystems.  The cattail plant provides coverage for fish, birds, and frogs against predators like birds and raccoons. This tall foliage--and the shadowing it creates on the water--gives them a safe place to hunt for their meals, lay their eggs, and raise their young.  Similarly, gardeners with a water garden or koi pond on their property can use the cattail plant for the same benefits. This plant is a water feature favorite for TN Nursery staff and customers.  Other Common Names for Typha latifolia Most call this species cattails, but here are a few other (but less common) nicknames you might hear:  Broadleaf Cattail Bulrush Cat-O'-Nine-Tails Common Cattail  Cattail Plants Provide Classic Beauty to a Water Garden or Koi Pond  Typha latifolia has a grassy appearance--tall, emerald green, lance-shaped leaves with a narrow, well-defined tip. They can measure up to eight feet tall, with an above-water presence of around three to four feet.  The plant develops tall, prominent spikes that display the most familiar feature that makes this plant so famous--its brown or copper-toned cylindrical flower, a water garden classic.  The cattail plant spreads through a vigorous underground root system. Many gardeners who want just a few for ornamental use will plant them in containers, then submerge them in about three feet of water to control the growth.

Walking Fern Walking for is among the unique ferns that have undivided fronds. The bright green fronds arch as they bloom and have a flat leaf shape. When a walking Fern matures, the undersides of the leaves develop beautiful brown stripes in the summer months, which contain the plant's spores. All this gives it a more substantial and lush appearance than other ferns. This evergreen perennial attracts butterflies in the spring and summer, giving your yard a lively look in the autumn and winter. After it snows, the fronds stay safely tucked away until the weather warms up. Best of all, this fern doesn't attract unwanted pests. Walking Fern is a rare & exotic type of fern  It will reach a height and width of 12-18 inches after a year, and it can develop sporting each summer once it's mature. It can grow in nearly any climate. It loves moist, well-drained soil and prefers some shade to flourish. Fully shaded spots are even better. It prefers limestone-based soils similar to its natural habitat. These ferns are also resistant to both deer and rabbits. It's a versatile fern that can be planted in shady beds, as undergrowth for bushes, and in pots to stick on your patio. It also makes a good edging plant. All you have to do is water it during dry periods.  Walking Ferns are Not Plentiful  In nature, the Walking Fern only exists in a handful of places in North America. It primarily exists on limestone escarpments and the outsides of New York and Ontario caves, but it can be found as far south as Alabama. With all this in mind, it's no wonder that this fern has earned the Royal Horticulture Society's Award of Garden Merit. It will be shipped to you in a small pot.

Muskogee Crepe Myrtle Muskogee Crepe Myrtle: TN Nursery sells hundreds of crepe myrtles annually, but the hands-down customer favorite pick is the Muskogee crepe myrtle. The vibrant lavender to purple flowers provides luscious, vivid color that will brighten up the mid-summer landscape. The blossoms are long-lasting, displaying outrageous color for four to six weeks. Despite its height (up to thirty feet), the Muskogee crepe myrtle is a shrub, not a tree. Gardeners also love this shrub for its easy-care nature. All you will do when you receive your sapling is find a nice, sunny spot, fertilize it, and give it about an inch of water per week. Watch how fast it will grow! Why Gardeners Adore the Muskogee Crepe Myrtle For starters, the Asian native species is well-adapted for growing in the moderately warm USDA growing zones. It is a particular favorite of gardeners in the southeastern United States. It is also a resilient, healthy species. It's both cold-hardy and heat-hardy, which likely lends to its prevalence in the upper south, which experiences sub-freezing overnight winter temperatures and blistering heat during the summer. It's also resistant to pest damage, disease, and mildew. The Muskogee Crepe Myrtle Is Stunning Year Round The cheerful purple color spreads across the southeastern region during the peak summertime heat. That's when enormous clusters of dainty lavender to purple florets emerge. These large clumps of flowers create the look of a single, vast flower. If you don't prune it, the crepe myrtle has multiple upright branches that form a sprawling shrub shape. However, some gardeners choose to prune the shrub during its first few seasons, encouraging it to grow straight, tall, and tree-like The glossy, oval, two-inch green leaves are bountiful. They are numerous and thus create a lush and shady canopy. The bark is light gray, and while it's not entirely smooth, it is not rough, either. The bark sheds yearly, peeling from the trunks in the late summer. Those stunning red crepe myrtle flowers become a blessing for birds: one-inch or smaller brown fruits that will release many seeds. Muskogee Crepe Myrtle Attracts Songbirds and Insects Pollinating insects find the lovely purple blossoms highly attractive. You will almost certainly see many species--bees, moths, dragonflies, and butterflies--enjoying the nectar your Muskogee crepe myrtles provide. After worms and insects retire for the winter, birds have difficulty finding sustenance. Those brown fruits are an ideal food source. Watch the birds flock to your crepe myrtle to open the pods and feast on those seeds. Order Your Muskogee Crepe Myrtle From TN Nursery Today You will be satisfied when you order your Muskogee crepe myrtle from TN Nursery--we pride ourselves on supplying our customers with the most vigorous plants. Purple Crepe Myrtle Purple Crepe Myrtle: Despite its up to twenty-foot height, Lagerstroemia, or the crepe myrtle, is a deciduous shrub. It is a TN Nursery gardener's favorite--we sell hundreds of crepe myrtles in myriad colors every year. They bloom during the mid-summer months when most flowering trees have finished blossoming for the season. That makes them perfect when paired with earlier-season bloomers. Lagerstroemia is a species native to Korea and China, but American gardeners have since adopted the use of this shrub thanks to its extraordinary and abundant blossoms. Today, you will find it showing off in the warmer USDA growing zones, especially in the southeastern states. Purple Crepe Myrtle Offers Outstanding Beauty Lush, profuse lavender to purple blooms dot the landscape throughout the south in the summer months. Dozens of tiny purple florets comprise a large, appear like one enormous flower. Besides the gorgeous blooms, the crepe myrtle has other intriguing characteristics. The multi-branched shrub has lovely branches with slight dips and turns. It creates a beautiful silhouette. When the shrub is young and growing, gardeners can train it to grow tall and straighter or let it meander into a more natural state. Neither option is right or wrong. That boils down to preferences. The leaves are a perfect medium green hue, oval, and under two inches long. Shrubs become thick with these lovely leaves, providing welcome shade from the summer heat. The canopy is wide and spreading. The bark is light and has a slightly rough texture. It renews by peeling during the summer, especially after the blossoms fade. Purple Crepe Myrtle Will Nourish Wintertime Birds Crepe myrtle flowers give way to brown pods under an inch in size, each containing dozens of seeds. As the leaves change and drop in the autumn, the pods stay on the branches. Cardinals, finches, and other wintertime feathered friends will crack open the pods and eat those seeds. These pods are a vital food source, as insects, worms, and other nutritional sources are unavailable.

The flowers are small and usually hang down from the stem. They are bell-shaped and typically white or greenish-yellow in color. The plant usually flowers and blooms in the late spring or early summer.  In addition to its medicinal uses, Lady's Seal is also a popular ornamental plant in gardens. It is known for its graceful arching stems and delicate white flowers, and it can be grown in shade or partial shade rather than full sun, like most ornamental plants.  Gardeners will find Lady's Seal an exciting and versatile plant, especially considering its long and storied history.
