Mounding

Meet Jungle Diva® Roxie™, a striking Brazilian beauty, native to the understories of the Amazon. Roxie™ has ovate-shaped leaves that grow in a spreading, trailing habit. Leaves boast longitudinal stripes in an alternating pattern of light and dark green, with rich purple undersides. Nicknamed the “seersucker plant”, the leaves of Roxie™ show off a crinkled, undulating texture that is as unique as the puckered cotton fabric she’s named after.

This adorably compact fern is a dwarf variety of the common boston fern, and it is truly ‘Cute as a Button!’ It has bright, light green coloration, and when crushed, its petite leaves give off the faint scent of lemon. Its small stature and easy-to-care for nature makes it the perfect addition for adding a pop of brightness to your kitchen, bathroom, office, or other northern exposure.

Bow down to the beauty of ‘Say Grace’! This Maranta or Prayer Plant hails from the rainforests of Brazil and appreciates humidity. It features smooth, elliptical-shaped leaves that grow in a spilling, trailing habit. The leaves are various shades of green with darker splotches along either side of the midrib and random brushstrokes of cream to lime green variegation. As its name implies, ‘Say Grace’ is a devout follower of its own bedtime rituals, folding up its leaves at night, as if in prayer!

Meet Twilight Tassel™, a moody take on the classic Rabbit’s Foot Fern. It won’t bring you good luck, but it does have fuzzy rhizomes that creep along the soil’s surface like the feet of rabbits. From those pettably soft rhizomes, lacy fronds emerge in the reddish shades of sunset before deepening into a rich, glossy green–like the last light fading below the horizon at twilight. Keep your Twilight Tassel™ out of direct sunlight and evenly moist for best performance.

‘Ruffled Arrow’ is a leatherleaf fern with striking presence! Its heavily-divided, arrow-shaped fronds boast serrated or “ruffled” edges, and a bright lime green highlight down the center, adding depth, dimension, and just a touch of variegation to its medium green foliage. The thick, leathery texture of each frond ensures durability and a unique feel, living up to its common name–”leatherleaf” fern.

One look at this white-veined Fittonia and you’ll be able to see where the common name “nerve plant” comes from. Like other nerve plants, ‘World Views’ features low-growing, creeping foliage with oval-shaped green leaves that have the distinctive veining one would expect to see on an anatomy diagram of the nervous system.

Here’s a Fittonia, or nerve plant, that deserves a ‘Primetime’ spot in your lineup! This low-growing, creeping plant has petite leaves of bright, lime green, etched in veins of contrasting coral pink. It’s an absolute showstopper in a terrarium or a bright, humid spot!

Network News ‘Nightly’ is the more dramatic, heavily-contrasted counterpart to ‘Daytime’. This dainty, spilling plant has ovate-shaped leaves of dark green, overlaid with beautiful pink veining.

Network News ‘Media’ is a low-growing, creeping nerve plant with smooth, ovate leaves that are awash in red coloring. Unlike most nerve plants, the red veining on ‘Media’ is bleeding into the rest of the leaves, giving the appearance of a plant that is more red than green. Like other Fittonias, ‘Media’ loves bright light and humidity.

Network News ‘Dispatch’ is the pink counterpart to Network News ‘Media’ with low-growing, creeping leaves of lime green with pink veining. Unlike most nerve plants, the pink veining on ‘Dispatch’ bleeds into the margins of the leaves, giving the appearance of a plant that is almost more pink than green. Like other Fittonias, ‘Dispatch’ loves bright light and humidity.

‘Current News’ will grab your attention with its dramatic, low-growing foliage. Leaves are very dark green with heavy magenta-pink veining. Leaves have serrated, ruffled edges. ‘Current News’ will provide a pretty pop of pink in a terrarium or under cloche.

If it bleeds, it leads–and this crimson-veined fittonia is sure to be the ‘Breaking News’ in your collection! ’Breaking News’ has heavy red veining that really pops in contrast to the dark green leaf margins. The ovate leaves have edges that are ever-so-slightly ruffled. Like other nerve plants, ‘Breaking News’ will stay relatively compact and creep in a low-growing habit.

Here’s another lovely Fittonia worthy of bringing verdant style into your space ‘All the Time!’ Like other nerve plants, this is a low-growing, creeping plant with small, ovate leaves. ‘All the Time’ is adorned in a flawless fishnet-pattern of white veining.

‘Feeling Flirty’ is a low maintenance, easy-to-grow Tradescantia or “inch plant”, brightening any space with its carefree, colorful charm, as it grows and “inches” along. Its trailing leaves are small, not more than an inch or two in length, and a lovely shade of pinkish-purple. Leaves have cool green stripes, almost as if they were hand-painted. If the light catches ‘Feeling Flirty’ just right, and if you look close enough, you will notice that the stems have delicate hairs that curl like lashes, and the leaves sparkle, almost as if they were dusted with pixie magic. ‘Feeling Flirty’ will be the perfect playful plant for spilling out of a container or hanging basket.
