About the Japanese
Painted Fern :
The ‘Japanese Painted Fern’, Athyrium niponicum ‘Pictum',
is a low maintance, deciduous fern with soft
grayish-green and silvery dark maroon foliage. Being
the Perennial of the Year for 2004, one can see why.
‘Japanese Painted Fern’ has a plant spread of 24”
and a height of 24” and a must to any garden.
‘Japanese Painted Fern’ requires full shade,
however, small amounts of afternoon sun give the
most vibrant color to its foliage.
A well-drained area is best, not allowing it to
dry out. Perfect as a border plant, planted near
streams or ponds or as an accent plant. It will
contrast well with Hosta ‘Patriot’ or Heuchera
‘Palace Purple’. Best of all, the Japanese Painted
Fern can help with erosion control, while presenting
minimal wind resistance. |
