Functional and beautiful, this selection is a cross between Lady Fern and Japanese Painted Fern creating a classic “best of both worlds” fern that will really show off in the landscape. Upright, spreading, and mound-forming, this plant’s deeply dissected foliage displays a healthy dash of Painted Fern’s variegation but is taller and much more resistant to dry soils and even tolerates a fair amount of sun. Its aggressive yet non-invasive growth makes this plant ideal for massing to produce a groundcover that will be the envy of the neighborhood.
