Japanese Painted Fern

Luminescent, Variegated Fern for Shaded Areas

Ready to fill the empty, shaded spaces of your landscaping with a textured plant that thrives in less than sunny areas? The Japanese Painted Fern is a luminescent, silver-green fern that loves the shade and will add instant dimension to your landscape. 

The Japanese Painted Fern, declared 2004’s Perennial Plant of the Year, is a clumping, herbaceous perennial. Its short, mounding growth habit makes it perfect for the foreground of your borders, garden beds or containers, and its light, airy fronds have purple-burgundy central ribs that fade to silver at the edges for the most eye-catching display. 

The Japanese Painted Fern fits into just about any style with foliage that nearly sparkles as it moves in the wind. And its fronds have a hand-painted quality to them, making them ideal for oriental, cottage, modern, and especially eclectic garden styles. 

Although ferns are not known for being low-maintenance, if planted in the proper conditions, the Japanese Painted Fern doesn’t require extra effort. Simply plant it in well-draining, rich soil in a fully to partially shaded location, water to maintain moisture, and you’ll have a flourishing fern!
