plant info needed

[Adven2er]

I purchased some plants from a garden center that specializes in bonsai. They sell a bunch of different miniature plants to be used as ground cover or an accompaniment for their bonsais. I got a miniature African violet, Ficus pumila minima (Dwarf Creeping Fig), Lindneria grandiflora (Blue Baby Tears) and Selaginella emmeliana (Golden Fern). I tried to Google the Golden Fern and could not find any info on them. The plant seemed to have died off over the winter but now has a little green poking up through the soil. The lady gave it to me so I want to see if it can be revived. I wanted to know if any of the plant gurus had any info or recommendations on how to revive it. Thank You.

My guess is that this is actually Selaginella krausiana since S emmeliana is a synonym for S pallascens and it's not particualrly low growing. But you won't know until it starts to grow again. Many Selaginella die off to the ground over winter and resprout from the crown. S krausiana makes it through Zone 7 winters like this if it's a mild winter. I have some doing this as we speak.
