Love mine

[@lynneswetnam7846]

Yes these are great plants - I have one I planted a couple years ago & it’s becoming quite a nice size. It gets a bit of morning sun & does appreciate a drink during dry times. One of my favorite plants. Thanks for talking about it Jim!

I’m used to plants going beyond in my 6a garden, but when they resurrect their totally fine. ❄️💚🙃

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thank you Jim, I may have to try and find one. ❄️💚🙃

What a cool plant! Thanks for sharing!

Would love to have some these for my shade garden ( 6b)

I am looking for plants like this for areas under large deciduous trees along with hellebores. Love the texture!

[@amandasides5033]

Need this for sure!

I've had them for over 10 years & just adore them. Planted to intersperse with a variegated Hosta in my blue square ceramic pot is probably my favorite. Occasionally, I get some white variegation which I've been told is unstable. I love the color change in the winter too. It's a nice texture to mix with any other shade plant. Highly recommended in my north of Atlanta home.

I picked one up last year and have it in a concrete container. I really love the way it looks and may pick up more this spring. Is this something that could be divided?

[@katiekane5247]

It's slow to re-establish but yes.

[@lisab.6818]

I would like to try a couple in my shady 6a but can't find a local source, suggestions?

[@dylan8285]

Wish I could grow some of these more southern ferns like this one or holly fern, etc that don't take over everything when there happy. Almost all northern ferns ostrich, lady, madenhair,etc they all want to completely take over an area when there happy or when there not they will just sit there and not ever do much or look great, really no imbetween for them

[@douggreene4458]

I have a lot of deer. How do they like it?
