Ferns

Ferns are essential in shade gardens. They provide spectacular foliage and many dif- ferent shades of green. They combine beautifully with Hosta and other shade plants and fill spaces left by early spring bulbs such as Narcissus and tulips. They are tough, long- lasting and easily grown. They are low-maintenance plants that have excellent disease and insect resistance. For optimum results, grow them in a cool location with well- drained and moisture-retentive soil. Find Ferns in the SHADE BUILDING.

Old garden roses, modern shrub roses and pillar roses are gaining popularity among gardeners. Most are fragrant and many are disease resistant which lessens the need for chemical spraying. An annual application of organic fertilizer and compost is preferred for the one-time-blooming shrubs, with small additions of other fertilizers to boost the repeat bloomers. All are winter hardy and do not require “tipping.” The roses are listed by name and classification (Shrub, Alba, etc.) in accordance with ARS standards. The roses are potted for your convenience. The newly developing roots are fragile and may be damaged during transplanting which would cause growth set-back. Please use caution when spreading the root systems. Old Garden roses are defined as those types or classes of roses which were in exis- tence prior to 1867: Alba, Bourbon, Centifolia, Damascena, Gallica, Hybrid Foetida, Hybrid Multiflora, Hybrid Perpetual, Hybrid Spinosissima, Moss, Noisette, Portland and the species roses. For more information on roses hardy in Minnesota, read the HRC rose researchers’ book, Roses for the North by K. Zuzek, M. Richards, S. McNamara and H. Pellett. It is available in the Andersen Horticultural Library and for sale in the Arboretum Gift Shop. Roses are found outside between the HOSTA BUILDING AND THE SHADE BUILDING.

Go vertical! Crawling up a trellis, enveloping an arch or just covering up that ulgy wall, vines are essential to every garden. They take a couple of years to get going and need support to help them climb, but you will be amply rewarded with their sculptural form and abundant flowers. Grow two Clematis together or plant them at the base of a shrub to scramble up the branches. Vines are found in the SUN TENT with the ex- ception of the Vitis sp. (Grapes) and Hydrangea which are located with the Trees and Shrubs at the north end of the HOSTA BUILDING.

Please Note: The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum To the best of our knowledge, the plant is located southwest of Minneapolis on Hwy. 5, nine miles west of I-494, just west of Hwy. 41. material we offer is hardy in the Twin Cities area. In the case of borderline hardiness, it is so noted. There are always variables over which we have no control, and therefore we cannot offer a guarantee or a refund. Infor- mation in this list is based on how plants will perform in Zone 3-4 in the Upper Mid- west. Being an annual fundraising event, please understand that we cannot replace plants.
