This choice Tongue Fern is notable for the yellowish variegation on its evergreen 12" long leaves, and is likely conspecific with the clone sold as 'Variegata', Pyrrosia are easy but require great drainage and unless you are planting it in a stumpery, rockery or slope, you will need to seriously amend with gravel, bark or assorted detritus of life. Nice divisions from our stock plants.

These are cutting-grown from a plant Steve Hootman found growing in a garden in Philadelphia where it was defying conventional wisdom as to its hardiness. Being a savvy sort of fellow, he snagged a few cuttings thinking this might prove to be very useful. We think so too although we have not yet trialed it out in our garden. So many plants, so little space. This does seem promising and if your are looking for a small-leafed evergreen creeper that will cling to rocks or a wall, then this might be just the ticket.

Rare ghostly white flowered variant of the typically dark-flowered Veratrum formosanum . We lusted after this plant since the 90's after seeing it recorded in the Flora of Taiwan and finally secured it from the legendary Jim Sutherland at Scotland's Ardfearn Nursery just a few years ago. So excited we tossed our caber. Is it better than the typical formosanum? No. More collectible? Oh, hell yeah! Deer resistant. We conservatively list this hardy to zone 6 but it is likely hardy to 5 or even 4.

This was one of those "Holy shit - lookit that fern!" moments when we first spotted this species growing in a moist stable and vegetated scree at the base of a soaring vertical cliff face fronting this mountainous outcrop of improbable pinnacles in Guizhou, China, The fern was perfect in scale and not intimidated in the slightest with 5'-6' wide leaves on a clumping plant 6'-8' tall. We were dismayed not to collect spore but happy to get a small plant of this species from fernologist Sue Olsen a few years back. This grows to be a pretty hefty clump but does not run. Hardy to zone 8 and mulch crown if it gets serious in winter.

Unit price perA collection by plantsman Philip MacDougall from 10,500 feet in Taiwan of this excellent Squirrel's Foot fern which is one of the hardiest species growing up to 11,500 feet. Typically this is epiphytic on trees or epilithic on rocks with the takeaway for cultivation success being good drainage. This has easily handled 10F in a stumpery. Previously sold as Davallia cf. trichomanoides, before ace plant hunter Nick Macer gave us a tip on the correct ID, thanks Nick!

Or Pyrrosia porosa var. porosa depending on how you view monomorphic indument. This Felt Fern is widely distributed in China and Taiwan with 6" strappy leaves soft as the ears on our friends new kittens, Oliver and Stanley. This would be found as an epiphyte in trees or shaded rock outcrops or cliffs that are moist.

Very garden worthy little Lily descended from a Crug Farm collection in Taiwan. This is a fairly compact species with grassy foliage and carnival hat flowers - big white trumpets with maroon stripes on the outside. Increases well from offsets and blooms when young. It's all good.

An uncommon variety of the standard evergreen Tongue fern found across East Asia. To this already attractive species 'Keikan' adds wide fronds with rippling deeply lobed margins resulting in a striking flame-like effect. Best grown in a well drained location or on a slope where it will happily spread by its trailing rhizomes.

We're looking at a houseplant here for everyone except those with that San Francisco microclimate and if you are lucky enough to have such a thing, just for the record - we pretty much hate you. But we'll set aside the envy and sell you one of these astoundingly lovely ferns with long white ghostly fingered fronds.

Silver Cloak Fern. At home over a broad stretch of Asia from Vietnam up to Siberia where it favors growing on rocks or walls in degraded - some say rotted - moss and organic matter. A low growing evergreen fern with startling white undersides to the leaves. Low water requirements once established. Most folks say zone 5 but we'll say 6.

Mark Weathington of the Raulston Arboretum at NCSU introduced this goody from Taiwan. Narrow blade leaves are maculated in white and the upright stems bear small pink flowers in mid to late summer. A very interesting new addition to the hardy Begonia palette as this has a different look than what one usually sees. Mulch if winter is wicked.

Sweet little evergreen groundcover from southern Taiwan where it grows at low to mid elevation in littoral thickets. Then there are the virtual thickets.... Small rounded leaves and yes, there are very small figs but it would take a lot to make figgy pudding. Zone 8 hardy and grows at the Zone 7 Raulston Arboretum in a sheltered spot where it is deciduous in cold winters. Tolerant of shade.

A superb collection of this Strawberry Saxifrage by the Wynn-Jones of Crug Farm who found this in the Hsitou area of Taiwan. Fantastic green leaves variegated in silver-white and while it could be our imagination taking wing after being bowled over by the foliage, the white flowers seem larger than usual on their 18"-24" stems. Moist, shade, zone 6-9.

Nifty groundcover introduced from Taiwan by Crûg Farm in Wales and these are divisions from plants we grew from the original seed collection. This is a good spreader though very easy to keep in bounds which makes it nice to share. This prefers a loose organic rich soil that retains moisture - think Primroses. Great under shrubs and perennials and forms a feathery dense mat with white starry flowers. Evergreen unless very cold. We saw this in Guizhou in the fall of 2010 on the the summit of perhaps the tallest peak in the Wumingshan and it was nice to see a familiar face.

Blackberry Lily. Our collection of this extremely widespread Asian species which not only has attractive deep orange flowers that are overlaid in a plethora of red spots but also the seed is curiously attractive looking for all the world like a large blackberry. This has wide application in traditional Chinese medicine and our collection is likely an escapee from the local mountain village.

Wheel Tree. Our collection from Taiwan of this indispensable broadleaf evergreen that usually is a small tree in gardens. Very clean and attractive, always the first criteria to be considered whether shopping for plants or romance, the Taiwan forms are regarded as better garden plants with better foliage. Surprisingly nice green flowers which lack petals or sepals but have dozens of stamens densely arranged in a wheel pattern. In the family Trochodendraceae, which it shares only with Tetracentron sinense (which we have also collected), this is also found in China and Korea. We have ours in full sun where it has handled with aplomb, drops to 10F in winter.

Introduced from Taiwan by the plant hunting duo of Bleddyn and Sue Wynn-Jones, this makes rosettes of narrow leaves with heads of white flowers infused with lavender-pink in spring. A gem for the shade garden as are all the species, this will also take part sun given moist conditions. While some authorities have sunk the genus Heloniopsis into our monotypic eastern US genus Helonias, we shall continue to wave the Heloniopsis flag from the ramparts at Far Reaches as the next revision will surely reinstate the status quo.

Our collection from Taiwan of this species which was formerly ascribed to T. stolonifera but is now merged into the variable T. formosana. Good clumper via - you guessed it - stolons with mottled leaves especially on new growth. Upright stems with light purple flowers heavily spotted with darker purple. A Far Reaches Botanical Conservancy Collection.

Our first thought after acquiring this and temporarily satisfying the plant lust monkey on our back, was "Why would anyone want a white-flowered pleianthum?" The flowers are surprising good, that's why. Large for the species and well-formed, with the petals fully expanded and not crepe-paper crumpled- which we enjoy - as is often the case. These are young plants.

An uncommon little jewel from the mountains of Taiwan, these are 2nd generation plants from the original wild collection by the Wynn-Jones back in the early 90's. Chris Chadwell had distributed seeds from this early expedition of theirs and and we received a packet and the offspring from these original few seeds are the origins of virtually all plants of this species in the US. It always intrigues us to watch the integration of a plant into horticulture from a plant we introduce. Unlike our native colossal Veratrum, this is relatively demure with neat tussocks of low grassy foliage. This blooms young with deep maroon flowers on gray-green stems. Deer hate Veratrum and good to zone 4 up to zone 8b.
