I don't think Ostrich fern would do well inside. It like lots of water and mine dies back in the winter. One fern I think may do OK inside would be Phlebodium aureum. They are large epiphytes and can do pretty well on the dry side. Many Davallia (Rabbit's foot ferns) do well inside also.

So, as I have been going through the yard I am finding that so far, all the semps that I planted last summer have made it through the winter....so... (as if I need more...) Here is a list of semps and other perennials that Laurie and I received just over a week ago from Cavendish Perennials. They are all so different again from each other, it is amazing the variety of semps available. We had such a hard time even keeping the list this short. Sempervivums 405 Adelmoed 012 Ajax 303 Akhenaten R01 Alcithoe 017 Amanda 025 Aymon Correvaon 216 Black Velvet 308 Blush 339 Bowles Giant 310 Brown Owl 040 Bunny Girl 043 Butterfly 312 Canada Kate 402 Centurion 055 Clara Noyes P02 Cresta 060 Crispyn 323 Dallas 325 Dark Cloud 329 Dyke 332 El Toro 069 Eminent 335 Eomer W05 Eureka 076 Exorna X01 Fame Montrose ...really neat thick colorful leaves. 338 Firebird 403 Ford's Shadow 084 Fuego 091 Glaucum Minor 555 Grapetone 343 Grammens 222 Granat 098 Grey Dawn 099 Greyfriars 100 Gypsy 346 Hayling 559 Heigham Red 105 Hey Hey 106 Icicle 350 Jungle Shadows 115 King George 356 Lilac Time 357 Limelight 361 Majestic 571 Maria Laach 129 Marmalade 138 Mulberry Wine 367 Ohio Burgundy 143 Pacific Devil's Food 374 Pacific Sexy 375 Pacific Sonata 147 Pacific Sparkler 149 Pallisander 157 Plastic 161 Purple Passion 382 Red Ace 383 Red Flush 166 Rosie D05 Royanum 214 Saga 406 Silberspitz 390 Spice 178 Spring Mist 181 Starshine 394 Theoden 395 Thunder L02 Truva 394 Twilight Blues 403 Unicorn 194 Viking 599 Wendy 400 Zenobia 401 Zulu Other perennials... Orostachyts...4 different varieties, including his own, Peach Perfect. 958 saxifrage paniculata 961 ternatum sedum So, all of mine are planted up in my greenhouse, Laurie's are under the lights in her basement. Now that they are already planted up I can transplant them anytime into their permanent spots in the yard...as I find a place for each. Brenda

Stacey, are they the little "heads" just barely poking out of the ground? If so, this is normal. Many perennials will sit just at the soil surface waiting for the warmth and longer periods of sunlight. You will be tempted to cover them up, but don't...they know what they are doing. Sedums are one of the toughest plants to kill. Too much moisture will do them in, but otherwise they are extremely hardy. My dogs have torn one of my NOID's out of the ground a few times...had gotten some stems from a house we are demolishing and layed them under the mulch. I kept putting them back...they are trying to grow...hope they make it. The majority of sedums will form a complete new mature plant within two growing seasons from one single cutting, or sometimes one leaf.

My sister in law and I ended up stopping there and I really liked the guy. I would go back again as when I stopped I didn't buy. We rent right now and when we move everything comes with; I don't want to dig more than we already have. He had a decent amount of hostas there but yes it was different than what I was expecting. Hostalisa, I live near Wausau. I didn't get to experience Fox Fire but heard a lot about it. I'm always on the lookout for new places to go. Once we buy a house then I can do more buying. I did buy a Sagae earlier in the summer and it's taking right off. I did get a nice chunk though. Liz
