Moss, Ferns & Cryptogams

Peacock Fern?

18 years ago

I've been looking for this fern and can't find it. I planted them in my window boxes last year and they were fabulous Â iridescent blue and green foliage. Anyone know where I can find them, either on-line or at a nursery near-by? I live in the Washington, DC area.

Maybe Selaginella uncinata, a/k/a Peacock Moss, Blue Moss?
Check the photo on the link to see if that is it. Have seen those at HD and local garden centers in small pots and gallons.

That's it! I thought it was called Peacock Fern. Now I should be able to find it. Thanks a ton!
