    The wonderful tri-colored (burgundy, gray and green) fronds of Japanese Painted Fern now have an added twist, or actually an added "crest" (an extra division in the frond) making them seem fuller. Sh-PSh/M

    By: Forestfarm

    Overlays of silver and purple over green on this elegant fern give it almost a metallic appearance…tasseled tufts at frond tips add interest. Fronds are 12-16" tall and slowly clumping out to 2'…leaves are winter deciduous. Easy and dependable with typical fern culture; will take some morning sun in northern areas…light us needed for best leaf coloring.
