Athyrium nipponicum 'Ghost'
Ghost Painted Fern
Zone 4 - 8
Grows wo about 24" to 30" tall and 24" wide
The result of a cross between Lady Fern and Japanese Painted Fern. Its finely divided foliage is held with an upright habit. The silver gray fronds seem to glow in the shade.
Grow in shade to part shade. Prefers a fertile, humus rich, moist soil. Will do better in drier soils than many other ferns.
