A volunteer at the New England Wildflower Society discovered this new fern that is all the rage. Lacy green foliage is held high above blood-red stems for a fresh look in the shaded garden. Tough as nails and easy to grow, is an excellent choice for perennial borders, woodland gardens, or slightly drier locations other ferns won't establish. Prefers moist, humusy soil for outstanding growth. Loves container culture.

Japan. Painted Fern
All Japanese Painted Ferns are not created equal and we are fortunate to have acquired this excellent selection, with reddish purple stems to 18 inches carrying striking pewtered foliage suffused with plum. Tastefully reflects the diminishing light of early evening in shaded beds and moist, humus-rich soil.
The fronds, ôpaintedö with a dark violet red interior, have contrasting bright silver edges, creating the aura of a ferny tapestry. The twisted pinnules give each frond a fluffy look. Thrives in summer humidity in moist, well-drained soils and is partial to full shade
This superb selection of feathered finery from a deciduous species has interlocking pinnae which criss-cross along the entire frond and crest at the tip. This easily grown specimen provides welcome texture and thrives in full sun or partial shade and humus-rich, moist soil.
This new hybrid of the Japanese Painted Fern and Crested Lady Fern produces a mound of lacy silvery green fronds, each pinnae tip ending with a ôcrestö. Coming from North Carolinian breeder Thurman Maness, this variety offers textural contrast and a tonal complement to other shade lovers like the hellebores æStarlingÆ and æKingston Cardinal
