    The broad silver fronds of this 1-2' mounder emerge flushed and veined in wine-red, an entrancing combination. PSh/M (some sun for best color)

    Truly beautiful deciduous fern that is clump forming to 24” wide and with foliage 12-18” tall. Leaves are intricately colored, overlaid with silver and painted with red veining. Shade & rich moist well drained soil make this baby happy with a larger clump each year!

    By: Secret Garden Growers

    A fantastic silvery fern selection with red highlights on the central stripes especially toward the tip and the nearby pinnae. Deciduous. Ferns thrive in neutral to acidic, loose, richly organic soil. Excellent for mass plantings, rock gardens, containers, in woodlands and in naturalized landscapes.

    This fern heralds the spring with broad silver leaves traced and flushed with wine red down the center. This dynamite seller at Wayside Gardens has color that softens in summer heat. Plantswoman Ursula Herz had a little secret in South Carolina.
