The result is a rigidly upright fern to 2-3' tall with the silvery grey foliage of Athyrium niponicum

even from 50' away

and other similarly-colored spring bloomers

The pattern is most vivid before the heat of summer

Aphyllanthes monspeliensis Farfugium (aka: Trillium ludovicianum A2LA-030) ThisFew gardeners have ever run across the monotypic Aphyllanthes monspeliensis, unless you've spent time in the Mediterranean region south to Morocco. This solitary genus in the Asparagus family produces a small rock garden size plant that looks like Festuca glauca until it flowers, then it looks just like a sisyrinchium or other irid. The narrow wiry glaucous leaves form a tight clump, topped, starting for us in mid April with 1" medium blue flowers.
