    This fabulous selection of Japanese Painted Fern features curving, wedge-shaped fronds of silvery-grey with pale-green edges and dark-pink rachis. This gorgeous perennial, one foot, mounding fern will spread by rhizomes if it is happy, but never aggressively. This is a delightful plant for the woodland garden, shady corners that need brightening, massed or in containers. PSh-Sh/M PP 15721

    Gardeners everywhere are falling for the arresting metallic pewter foliage. Color is deep rich grey with no reds, and less metallic than A. 'Silver Falls'. Silversmith Paul Revere would have succumbed to the charms of this NEW designer color in Japanese painted ferns. Combines nicely with Hakonechloa or Tiarella.
