The most common and recognizable of the ferns, this is a very tough and hardy plant, featuring tall lacy fronds all season long that continue to grow strongly through any adverse conditions. Grows best in shade with rich, moist soil. Has a great textural effect in gardens and can be used to hide a fence or other structure in the landscape.

Few plants are as endlessly charming—or as forgiving—as Hen & Chicks, and the Trio Honeycrisp collection brings three coordinating selections together for instant character. Tight evergreen rosettes multiply freely, sending out little ‘chicks’ that cluster around the parent in living, sculptural mosaics. Thriving in full sun with very little water, these tough succulents are perfect for containers, rock gardens, trough plantings, or tucked between stepping stones. Their fleshy leaves are reliably deer-resistant and shrug off heat, drought, and poor soil with ease. Watch in summer for curious red blooms that rise on stems above the rosettes before the plant resets and carries on. It’s a low, ground-hugging accent that rewards almost no effort with year-round structure and texture.

Blooming later than its relatives, the pink, Chinese variety is also more tolerant of sun and drier conditions. Visions is a compact variety with thick plumes of light pink flowers in late June and July rising from lush mounds of bronze-green leaves. The sturdy flowers are great for cutting and drying. While this Astilbe is generally tougher than others it still appreciates being kept evenly moist.
