Hi there,

I have a lot of hostas to trade for ferns. Mainly lancifolia (spikey dark green leaves, purple flowers) and planteginea (large bright lime leaves with white flowers) varieties. Also, patriot hostas (green and white striped leaves). Anything appropriate for Zone 5 will be appreciated. Brighter ferns, painted ferns and anything else to brighten up the shade appreciated.

If my ferns make it through the freeze, I have plenty to share! Let's keep in touch & see what we can do! Many of my ferns froze last night, but I'm sure new fronds will come out once I cut back the frozen ones. Most of mine are osterich ferns & I have cinnamon, too.
I'm in Columbia, MO --- where are you?
