Interrupted Fern

Osmunda claytoniana

One of the most interesting ferns is Interrupted fern. The wooly fiddleheads emerge in the spring and expand to form a beautiful vase shaped plant. The fern grows 2 to 5 Feet tall from creeping rhizomes. The spores are produced in the middle of the frond as they ripen and fall they leave a gap in the middle of the blade. Hence the name Interrupted Fern. The ferns form thick luscious stands in moist soil high in organic matter. This great plant can also tolerate drier soils.

Virginia Anemone

Anemone virginiana

Virginia Anemone is the perfect plant to add to your woodland garden to provide summer color. The white blossoms really lighten up shady areas. This Anemone unlike other Anemones doesn't produce runners it forms a clump. A group of Virginia Anemone really stands out in July when a lot of woodland plants are not in flower. Virginia anemone also does well in meadow or prairie settings.
