Virginia Creeper
Virginia Creeper - Parthenocissus quinquefolia - is a small plant that people mostly acknowledge for its colorful foliage and berries.
It is a deciduous and woody vine that climbs up on other things and trails on the ground with the help of tendrils that have adhesive disks on the tips that attach to the bark or rock. It is commonly known as Victoria Creeper, Woodbine, Five-leaved Ivy, Five Finger, or Parthenocissus quinquefolia.
It is also native to eastern and central North America. You may find them in open areas such as rocky bluffs, fence rows, banks of streams, ravines, rich woods, thickets, and hillsides. You may also find them growing up on trees or telephone poles.
It is a vigorous, fast-growing plant that may reach around 30 to 50 feet tall and five to ten feet wide. Its leaves have five leaflets, usually in soft green color, which later turns into bronze in spring, dull green in summer, and purple or crimson-red in autumn as the leaves mature.
It is known for its stunning transformation of color in autumn. It possesses clusters of tiny, greenish-white blooms that develop in the upper leaf axils in late spring and mature into small, firm, dark blue to blackberries in late summer or early autumn.
Virginia Creeper performs best in well-drained soil
This plant may withstand a wide variety of environmental conditions. It has a better chance of producing its most pleasing greenery if you grow it in full sun, but it also does fine in partial shade. It performs best in well-drained soil. It will thrive in various soil types, including clay, sand, and loam.
It is drought tolerant and may withstand a wide range of acidity and alkalinity in the soil. It is a low-maintenance plant that requires annual trimming to help retain it at a moderate size. It is crucial to growing the plant in an area that allows expansion and growth.
There are various ways to use this plant in your landscape designs. You may use it as a climber for brick or stone walls of buildings, large trellises, arbors, fences, or through large trees. You may use it as a ground cover to cover rock piles, stumps, or erosion control on slopes.
This perennial plant becomes an essential source of food for birds and bees, squirrels, skunks, and other small creatures that consume them.
It is possible to confuse Virginia Creeper with Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) because of their similar habitats, climbing habits, and colors. However, it is simple to distinguish between them. 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.
Virginia Creeper is an ornamental plant because of its capacity to cover walls and buildings quickly.

Wild Plum Tree
$23.99
WIld Plum Tree Prunus Americana
Wild Plum Tree: Prunus americana, also known as the American plum tree, is a native tree that flourishes in most USDA growing zones. Its footprint stretches across the United States from the Canadian border to the south.
Historically, Native American indigenous people, including the people of the Cheyenne and Navajo nations, cultivated this tree for nourishment and used the branches in ceremonies.
That dual purpose rings true still today.
While some plum tree species are ornamental with fruit that's best left to the birds, the American plum tree pulls double duty. Indeed, it's both a breathtaking decorative tree and the bearer of delicious, edible plums.
The Immense Beauty of the the Wild Plum Tree
The wild plum tree is a smaller, deciduous tree that grows to a maximum height of just over twenty feet. Its branches sweep out from a single trunk, and it has a gracefully branching crown that spreads about fifteen feet wide.
The angelic white flowers have five pleasingly rounded petals that usually grow in clusters. When in full bloom, the American plum tree appears as though a blanket of snow draped itself over the branches. The blossoms last several days to a week and then give way to the fruit.
The fruit tastes slightly tart and is refreshing on the tongue. Fruits can be mauve, red, or purple. The fruit is compact and juicy. You can use it to make preserves, wine, jams, or pastries.
Caring for Wild Plum Tree
Wild plum trees are not fussy about the soil as long it provides adequate drainage. They love to have plenty of water, but they do not prefer standing water for an extended time.
Amending the soil with natural compost will help you grow a hardy, resilient plum tree.
Occasional pruning of any suckers that develop will train your American plum into a stately, taller shape. However, if you want a bushier appearance, you can skip the trimming. There is no right or wrong answer--it's all about the look you want to achieve.

Red Chokeberry
$19.99
Red Chokeberry Aronia arbutifolia
Red Chokeberry: Aronia arbutifolio, the red chokeberry shrub, is a deciduous North American native species that will flourish in the moderately warm USDA growing zones. TN Nursery customers express interest in this shrub for the season-long colors, from the showy white spring flowers to the dark green foliage to the cheerful red berries in the fall.
The red chokeberry shrub is a North American native, low-maintenance species, requiring little more than twice-yearly fertilizer, about an inch of water a week, and occasional trimming to maintain an attractive shape. It prefers a balance of sun and shade.
Red Chokeberry Shrubs Serve as a Refuge for Birds
TN Nursery recommends the red chokeberry to our customers who are avid about bird watching.
Birds find Aronia arbutifolio irresistible. They love the dense canopy, which provides cover from predators--you may get to watch ground-dwelling birds like quails build their nests in the low branches. Later in the season, they will feast on the red fruit, a highly nutritious food source for your feathered friends.
The Beautifully-Shaped Appearance of the Red Chokeberry Shrub
Red chokeberry grows to an average mature height of ten feet and six feet across at its crown. The shrub grows in a vase shape--a narrowed bottom that forms multiple reddish brown twigs and branches and stretches wider at the top.
The lovely leaves are dark green and glossy on the upper side and less vibrant underneath, with an oblong shape. Each leaf measures up to three inches long and under two inches wide. They usually turn red or orange in the fall.
Flowers emerge along the branches in the mid to late spring. The blooms are small but abundant, making a beautiful display. The five-petal blossoms form in attractive clusters; each is about an inch across and forms a delicate cup shape. You will likely see bees and butterflies visit them for the sweet nectar.

Bamboo Plant
$14.99
BAMBOO PLANT - Arundinaria Gigantea
Bamboo plants have two types of species that are often in use within residential landscapes. These plants increase by releasing underground runners, also known as rhizomes, which might emerge from the parent plant at a distance from the original location.
They bridge those gaps between plants more quickly, making them perfect for use as screens, hedges, and the trendy open groove effect. Because the rhizomes develop horizontally at a depth of roughly 2 to 18 inches, it is possible to keep their growth under control. It can produce stunning thick hedges by employing a rhizome barrier to limit this subsurface expansion. Many of these plants can withstand the cold.
The experience of strolling across a large, open grove full of these tall plants is unlike anything else. They are also helpful for various applications, including specimen groves, perennial security screens, windbreaks, noise and dust shields, groundcovers, and erosion management. They are also widely known for producing a tropical impression in a usually moderate or even frigid environment. The most effective method of controlling this plant is maintaining a groomed path around the planting.
This route's minimum width should equal the maximum possible height of this species selected for the given area, if not more. Undoubtedly, this may not be practicable at all times, and the confinement methods available will vary according to the location. You may contain these plants using techniques such as rhizome barriers or rhizome trimming, both of which need continuous monitoring to be effective. Natural barriers such as everlasting waterbodies and dense darkness may also aid this purpose.
Bamboo Plant is Easily Grown
They are garden plants of the evergreen variety. They are easy to care for and do not require a lot of water. They are used in gardens in many ways and add an exotic feel to any backyard; They can be used as a hedge or screen to add privacy to your yard or in any other garden arrangements. They can grow in almost any climate and can last for many years. They come in a wide range of sizes, including dwarf and giant-sized.
Bamboo requires very little maintenance
These plants can also be grown in small containers inside and outside. Placing a number of them in your landscaping will help you to showcase your other garden plants. They are also known by many cultures to bring luck to their owners. They have also been grown to become bonsai trees. The stems are easily shaped and can be pruned to interlace. You can also prune bamboo trees back into topiaries. The under leaves are removed, leaving only clumps of leaves at the top. When planting bamboo trees as a screen, they should be planted in the area approximately 2 to 3 feet apart.
That allows them to spread out and create the coverage you need. Pruning it back will stop further growth into areas you do not want. Once they have been planted, they will require very little maintenance.

Peat Moss - 5 Square Feet
$32.99
Peat Moss (Sphagnum centrale)
Peat Moss: Many gardeners, even those with years of experience, often express surprise when they learn how easy it is to grow peat moss (Sphagnum centrale) in their backyards. This favorite potting medium enjoys popularity when planting tomatoes, berries, orchids, and other acid-loving plants. But somehow, gardeners rarely consider growing it themselves!
Peat moss is a ground cover that expands quickly to form a dense mat in locations considered too shady for other plants. However, it also displays bright green foliage, making the area more lively and attractive.
Peat Moss Can Enliven Your Yard
Do you have areas of partial to heavy shade? If you have tried growing grass or other plants without any luck, you may have nutrient-depleted soil, too little rainfall, or too little sunshine. You might even have a combination of all three of those factors.
Peat moss can help resolve that problem. First, it is a ground cover moss that will revitalize the area with its joyful green hues.
Second, peat moss can bring life back to that barren part of your yard. It grows in the shadiest of spots, requiring only filtered sun. Moreover, its growth process can add moisture and nutrition back to your depleted soil.
The barrel-shaped plant has spongy cells that wick in magnesium, calcium, and rainfall like a magnet. It then expels the water back to its immediate area. As the plants die, they compost on the ground, releasing the minerals and helping to lock in moisture. Consequently, the life cycle of peat moss helps to correct the deficiencies and bring your shady yard back to life.
Peat Moss Makes a Wonderful Ground Cover or Companion Plant
Because of the moisture-adding cycle described above, peat moss is a beautiful ground cover plant, and it's perfect as a companion plant near your vegetable, herb, or flower garden. Its life cycle will naturally fertilize your garden, making it more sustainable by minimizing your need for chemical additives to your garden.

Irish Moss
Irish Moss: Planting garden moss can be a terrific way to add some color, like lively green, rich silver, or creamy white hues, to partially shaded and heavily shaded areas of your yard. Garden moss might provide the perfect solution if you have a place where most grasses or flowers won't take due to a lack of sunshine, soil compaction, or deficiencies.
Irish moss species grow naturally in the deepest forests and wettest swamplands across the United States. The key to choosing the best garden moss for your yard is understanding the various mosses and the preferred environment for each.
Irish Moss Species overview

Pincushion moss, cushion moss: This charming moss forms dense tufts or clumps in a soft green hue with elegant silvery undertones. While it prefers to call partial to full-shaded areas home, Leucobrym glaucum can tolerate some sunshine.
Reindeer moss: Reindeer moss can grow almost anywhere, even in the arctic cold of Alaska. Cladonia rangiferina has leaves shaped like reindeer horns-- tipped with a silvery-white color reminiscent of snow.
Topiary moss: If you plan to create topiaries as focal points for your garden, you need moss and a lot of it to get the lush look you want. Topiary moss is not a particular species but depends on the artist selecting the most appropriate garden moss for the finished sculpture's location.

You might also hear some gardeners call it by the other common names:
Log moss
Brocade moss
Feather moss
Carpet moss
Fern moss
Each of those describes the same plant--Hypnum curvifolium.
Depending on environmental factors, this moss appears yellow-green to bright-green, with a slightly fuzzy appearance. It looks like a plush green carpet once it matures.
Hypnum curvifolium Looks Lavish in Your Landscaping.

Hypnum curvifolium has a classic charm that adds the perfect finishing touch to your landscaping projects.
Besides giving your finished look a charming look, adding moss to bare spots in your yard can help decrease soil erosion and help retain the soil's nutrients.
How Else Can You Use Sheet Moss?

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.

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.

Smooth Cordgrass - Package of 25 Plants
$79.99
Smooth Cord Grass
Smooth Cord Grass is a perennial species native to the United States that flourishes in standing water, specifically salt water and brackish tidal marshes throughout the upper-south and southeastern regions.
This species is deciduous, erect, and can reach a mature height of ten feet. They require the full sun and a moist environment for the best growth; however, they are drought tolerant for short periods. Once you plant this decorative grass, you will not need to provide anything other than an occasional trimming.
Unlike freshwater pond grasses, smooth cord grass can tolerate salt water. In fact, it is a common plant in the brackish marshes (and even bordering seawater inlets and beaches) along the east coast from Maryland to Florida.
Besides having a lovely, highly decorative value, this species is also essential to helping to prevent soil erosion due to wave action and wind. The roots of the grass take hold of the marsh floor. This impact creates a two-pronged impact. First, it helps to hold the earth below in its place. Secondly, this prevents it from backwashing out to sea.
Other Common Names for Smooth Cord Grass
Smooth cord grass has several additional common names, as follows:
Baker's Cordgrass
Bunch Cordgrass
Marsh Grass
Sand Cordgrass
The Beauty of Smooth Cord Grass
This plant emerges from a creeping, vigorous root system that spreads from under the water. The leaves grow upright in large clusters. They generally stay around three feet above the water. As the name implies, the grass is smooth and rounded, giving the appearance of a cord.
The color is golden brown or yellow to medium green, with colors often varying--even on one plant.

TN Nursery suggests smooth cord grass for anyone who needs a plant that will grow in a pond or brackish water, especially customers in coastal areas. Please place your order today.
