FERN ATHYRIUM georgianum ‘Pictum’ (Japenese Painted)

Description

gray and mahogany 20″H x 30″W Japanese Painted Fern. A most unusually colored fern. This type has received much-deserved notice. The fronds are muted gray-green, contrasting sharply with purplish-mahogany stems. There is a faint silvery sheen on the whole plant. This Japanese native is best grown in light shade with a rich, moisture-retentive (not soggy) soil where it will reproduce quickly. This was the Perennial Plant Association’s plant of the year for 2004.

Zones 5-8.
