Walmer Woodlands supplies NC native ferns to the NC Botanical Gardens.

We can also grow specific ferns to order.  It can take over a year with some ferns to start with spores and deliver a hardened plant.  According to our nursery license we can only sell ferns locally in NC.  

Walmer Woodlands has a few plants that are available locally in Chapel Hill, NC if someone is interested.  Check here for availability.

We are actively propagating ferns from spores but these will not be available for a while.  Species that we have spores in culture include:

• Dryopteris erythrosora  ‘Brilliance’, Autumn Fern
• Dryopteris australis, Dixie Wood Fern
• Polystichum munitum, Western Sword Fern
• Diplazium pycnocarpa, Glade fern
