Northern Lady Fern, Variegated Sedum. Please check the market for other additions.
From Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:
Coming into bloom this week also are: several Carnations, Foam Flower, Foamy Bells, the Gauras, and species Geraniums. But if I had to pick a favorite, it would be the Dianthus (AKA Sweet William) which I grew as a child in western New York State. They are prolific in the greenhouse this week, available in several colors.
