Description
Japanese Painted Fern is a beautiful deciduous fern with a hand-painted appearance. The arching grey-green fronds are highlighted with silver giving it a metallic sheen, and often flushed with burgundy in the center that matches the stems. Best frond color in part shade and rich, moist well-drained soils. Deer resistant.

*Deciduous ferns may still be dormant until late spring. This will appear like we’ve delivered a pot full of dirt however a healthy robust fern is awaiting inside.
