Japanese
Painted Fern
(also known as Tatting Fern,
Lady Fern & Southern Lady Fern) Athyrium
Description:
All of these varieties enjoy moist shady locations, some will tolerate some sun if the soil is very moist as on the edge of a pond or stream. With their open texture and graceful appearance, ferns make a wonderful counterpoint to flowering perennials.
