Japanese Painted Fern 'Pearly White' 1 Gallon

Athyrium niponicum pictum 'Pearly White'

This subtle, but handsome fern has a low, mounding habit with exotic purple stems, white fronds with light green edges, perfect 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.
