Iris japonica Porcelain Maiden Engelmannia This is the only agave

This is the only agave we've ever seen with such a unique leaf pattern

This clump forming fern is great when planted in mass as a backdrop for hostas in the woodland garden

As it blooms on new wood it will bloom even if cut back hard in late winter or spring

topped with tremendous numbers of flowers from late spring until frost
