Natchez Crepe Myrtle
$23.99
Natchez Crepe Myrtle
Natchez Crepe Myrtle: While it can reach between twenty to thirty feet high, Lagerstroemia, or the Natchez crepe myrtle, is a deciduous shrub. It is a TN Nursery best-selling species, and we sell hundreds of crepe myrtles in a range of stunning colors every year.
Natchez crepe myrtle will bloom during the mid-summer, providing fresh color after many other blooming trees finish flowering. We suggest you pair them with early-season flowering shrubs and trees.
Lagerstroemia is a species native to Asia--specifically, Korea and China. However, Americans have long since adopted this shrub after falling in love with the outstanding and abundant blooms. Today, you will find it showing off in the warmer USDA growing zones. It enjoys immense popularity in the southeastern United States.
Natchez Crepe Myrtle Offers Outstanding Beauty
The abundant, creamy white flowers of the Natchez crepe myrtle decorate the landscape all across the south during the middle of summer. Dozens of tiny white flowers form in massive clusters, giving the appearance of a single giant bloom. The blossoms last for several weeks, making them highly desirable.
The multi-branched shrub has graceful, slender branches that make a pleasing shape. During its early growth, gardeners often train it to grow taller to appear more tree-like. However, others leave it natural, allowing nature to take its course and develop a bushier look. Either way is correct--it depends on the gardener's preference.
The medium-green oval leaves are small, measuring under two inches long. But many will develop, providing a lovely, shaded canopy.
The bark is light and has a slightly rough texture. It renews by peeling during the summer, especially after the blossoms fade.

Fern Moss - 5 Square Feet
$33.99
Fern Moss (Thuidium delicatulum) is a Ground Covering Plant with a Fern-like Appearance
Fern Moss (Thuidium delecatulum)
Fern Moss: The fern moss plant, Thuidium delecatulum, is a ground cover plant that happily grows in almost any shade or semi-shaded spot in your garden.
You may find others calling it delicate fern moss or common fern moss, but all refer to Thuidium delecatulum.
This North American native species is widespread in the United States and Europe. Its native habitat is shady woods and wetlands. It grows on rocks, logs, and stumps and in swampy areas--it is unfussy about having good soil quality.
It needs a little attention for the first few months after planting, especially if you experience a hot season or drought. But it becomes almost maintenance-free after it takes hold and starts to spread.
Fern moss is a terrific ground cover plant, even in slow-draining or acidic soils around juniper or pine trees.
Fern Moss Is an Enchanting Ornamental Moss
Fern moss takes its name from its appearance. This moss has delicate, velvety frond-like leaves that look like tiny ferns. Upon closer inspection, the leaf texture has a peach fuzz coating that resembles tiny hairs.
Although the fronds can grow up to four inches long, they lay over under their weight. That draping effect creates a lovely, dense mat that adds a pure earthy green to your garden bed.
Unlike some mossy species, fern moss also tolerates foot traffic.
Fern Moss Is a Very Tolerant Species
Once you plant fern moss, it requires very little care from you. Although it prefers moist to boggy living conditions, it can conversely tolerate short hot spells and drought.
If you have a location with poor drainage and heavy shade, fern moss would be an excellent plant to consider. While some plants don't like "wet feet," fern moss is just the opposite; it will happily grow in the wettest, shadiest yards.
How to Use Fern Moss in Your Garden
Success with fern moss is all about plant site selection--it wants a moist, shady location. If you give it the placement it requires, your work will be over.
Fern Moss thrives in moist, partial shade, and acidic soils. It also requires protection from prevailing winds. It is an excellent ground cover for moss gardens, shade gardens, mossy rock walls, and concrete or stone steps. It also adds a nice touch of green when you use it in hanging baskets and potted plants.

Sphagnum Moss - 5 Square Feet
$32.99
Sphagnum Moss (Spagnum centrale)
Sphagnum Moss: You might better recognize spaghnum moss by its more widely known name, peat moss. This mossy plant is beloved by gardeners who cultivate this moss to add nutrients and retain moisture in their soil.
Gardeners in drought-prone areas benefit from using sphagnum moss as a ground cover plant to minimize their need for water.
Sphagnum moss is especially helpful for people who grow herb gardens, vegetables, berry plants, or flower gardens in locations that require a lot of sunshine that parches the earth. Amending the soil with dead sphagnum moss can help increase the garden's moisture retention, absorbing water not allowing to go in the ground.
Besides being fantastic for adding nutrients and locking in water, sphagnum moss provides lovely green foliage that spreads relatively quickly. It's a beautiful addition to any shade garden.
Sphagnum Moss Contributes to a Healthy Ecosystem
Some call sphagnum moss an environment manipulator. As it grows, it can change the makeup of the ecosystem. Sphagnum absorbs minerals like magnesium and calcium and then releases hydrogen ions acidifying the environment. This process makes growing Sphagnum centrale an ideal way to acidify more alkaline soils naturally without using harsh chemical treatments.
Some plants that benefit from this acidification process include berries, orchids, tomatoes, and other fruits.
Sphagnum Moss Retains Water Like Nobody's Business
You might call sphagnum moss a moisture magnet. This mossy plant has a cell structure that retains significant amounts of moisture. The plant has a barrel shape with tiny, sponge-like openings that pull in a surprisingly large amount of water.
After it collects the humidity, sphagnum moss expels the water into the surrounding area. As the peat moss continues reproducing and expanding its footprint, it creates puddles around it that grow in size with the expansion of the spread of the moss.
As older sphagnum dies, it adds nutrients to the soil and will decompose slowly, becoming an excellent, moisture-rich compost and potting mix.
Sphagnum moss should be part of your plan to grow a more resilient, self-sufficient garden.

Pennsylvania Sedge: Carex pensylvanica, aka Pennsylvania Sedge, is a hardy North American native grass species that will flourish across the cool to moderately warm regions of the United States. It is an unfussy ornamental grass that will thrive in many light conditions, from full sunshine to partial shade. This perennial ornamental will tolerate full shade, although it will grow slowly.
It prefers drier conditions than many ornamental grasses. This tolerance for dry soil makes it a favorite for TN Nursery customers who live in arid climates or have frequent watering restrictions in their communities.
Once Pennsylvania Sedge develops strong roots, it becomes a carefree plant. It's drought-resistant, heat-resistant, pest-resistant, and disease-resistant.
Other common names for carex pensylvanica:
Carex pensylvanica has several common names, with the usage varying from region to region. They include the following:
Oak Sedge
Pennsylvania Sedge

Pennsylvania Sedge Used In Landscaping
Unlike some ornamentals that get tall, Pennsylvania Sedge grows in attractive mounds that stay under a foot tall--usually around eight inches. It makes a lovely addition in these settings:
Pollinator Garden: Birds, bees, and butterflies will visit this grass and its tiny flowers.
Xeriscaping or Desert Garden: If you hope to minimize water usage, plant Pennsylvania Sedge.
Native Garden: Like most native species, this plant is hardy and resilient.
Semi-shade or Shade Garden: Although Pennsylvania Sedge loves the full sunshine, it is a good-natured ornamental grass that will do well in any semi-shaded spot in a shade garden.
The pleasant appearance of pennsylvania sedge grass.
Carex pensylvanica has tremendous charm as an ornamental. It spreads up to eight inches per growing season, eventually forming colonies. You can control the height by occasionally mowing it to a two-inch height.
Tiny, yellow fairy flowers bloom in the late spring; their size is so small that you can easily miss them. However, the butterflies and bees will notice and visit you, assisting with pollination.
The grass grows in attractive clumps and forms slender spikes that gracefully arch over as they extend upward. They are semi-evergreen in all but the coldest growing zones.

This perennial plant, a native species from the forested mountains of New York state, has distinctive fronds. It displays a triangular blade-like look that is widest in the middle and narrows sharply at both ends.
Its fronds are lance-shaped with a tapering tip; it grows up to two feet wide. Its leaflets are small and appear near the base of the frond. The plant reaches a height of about two to three feet at maturity.
The crown of the root system of the fern may be visible and dark brown. The leaflets grow in pairs of bright, glossy green.
New York Fern care
The New York fern grows in the forest in shallow wetlands, wooded ravines, and near streams. It's particularly partial to full shade and mixed shady areas. This species will tolerate filtered sunshine, but you will succeed best when you plant it in the shade. The New York fern is not particular about soil quality.
If you are in an area with a decent amount of regular rainfall, you are done with your job after you plant Parathelypteris noveboracensis. However, gardeners in hotter and drier regions must assist it by watering when required. It likes water, but it does not want standing water for prolonged periods--so take care not to overwater your New York fern.
By digging and separating the new clumps, you can control the growth as the plant spreads. Use them in other shady areas of your yard or share them with friends.
New York Fern Used In Gardening
Here are a few ways TN Nursery customers use New York ferns in their gardens:
Ground cover plant: Because this is one of the shorter ferns and spreads rapidly, many use it as a beautiful green ground cover in bare spots.
Erosion control: If you have areas of the yard prone to erosion due to wind or running water (creeks or streams), plant some New York ferns--they will help stop the elements from further eroding your yard.
Border garden: Add this two-foot-high fern to the middle row of your borders.
Shade garden: Finding species to add color to shade gardens can be challenging; ferns are an excellent solution.
Wetter areas: Consider moisture-loving ferns if you have a slow-draining spot. They help wick away the water, allowing your yard to dry faster.

Hay Scented Fern Dennstaedtia punctilobula
Hay Scented Fern: A TN Nursery customer favorite, Hay Scented Fern Dennstaedtia punctilobula, adds classic charm to any shade garden.
Gardeners cherish this otherworldly-looking plant for its ease of care and the great scent, which reminds one of the familiar, mildly grassy smell of freshly-harvested hay.
This low-maintenance plant is a native species of the eastern United States. However, it performs well in all the temperate USDA growing zones.
They can thrive in many soil conditions, from dry, rocky woodlands to moist, dense hardwood forests. The main thing to consider is not soil quality but water. Like most ferns, the hay scented fern likes to stay consistently moist without becoming overly wet or over dry.
Other than keeping an eye on the moisture content of your soil, the care requirements of this species are minimal.
Hayscented fern( Dennstaedtia punctilobula) You'll Love the Dainty Appearance
Dennstaedtia punctilobula might look dainty, but don't let that trick you. These diminutive ferns are sturdy despite their smaller size.
The lovely golden-brown stems easily support the fresh, spring green fronds, which form a triangular shape. Each frond displays vibrant leaflets that are broad at the base and sharpen into a blunt tip at the end. The frond’s texture has an attractive, hair-like appearance.
The plant grows to a mature height of under two feet but will widen out as much as three to four feet; this growth pattern makes it an ideal ground cover or specimen plant for your shade garden.
How to Care for the Hay Scented Fern
Like many ferns, the hay scented fern is native to North America, where it thrived for thousands of years without any human intervention. Fortunately, all you need to do is plant your Dennstaedtia punctilobula
in a place with plenty of shade and well-amended soil. During the summer, watch for heat damage and provide water accordingly. Water it only when the ground gets exceptionally dry, or you see brown spots around the margins of the leaflets.
