Japanese Painted Fern 'Ghost' 2 Gallon

Athyrium 'Ghost'

This handsome hybrid fern is a cross between Japanese painted fern and Lady fern. It possesses a larger, upright habit and lighter silvery, gray-green fronds than Japanese painted fern. An excellent specimen fern to light-up any dark, shady garden spot. Place in a container or grow in the shade garden with Hosta, bleeding heart and Astilbe. Plant in evenly moist, nutrient rich soil amended with organic matter like compost and planting mix. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water, once a week the first year. Use slow release fertilizer in spring or at planting; reapply midsummer. Mulch 1-2" to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. Excellent shade garden color and texture, deer and rabbit resistance.
