Hi yvana,
How has your selaginella performed? I just bought an arborvitae fern at Home Depot but the tag says it is S. pallascens. I hope the tag is wrong, because when I looked for more info on the internet, I found that pallescens is only hardy to zone 10! I think it is S. braunii, it looks just like your picture. I am in zone 6 and want to plant it outside, so that is why I wondered if yours is doing well. Any info would be appreciated, thanks!
Susan

Mine is alive and growing well. It is planted near the house on the south side. Good luck!

Yvana, yours is the best shot I found on the Web. I bought this fern at Home Depot and the tag was Arborvitae Fern. I could not remember the name and your picture was a big help in identifying it.
