Description
Like all of the Japanese Painted Fern hybrids, this on is a close relative of our native Lady Fern, and enjoys the same shaded moist conditions. Japanese Painted Fern grows only to about 1 1/2 ft, and forms a very slowly spreading clump, making it well-suited to home gardens.
Painted of course, refers to the stem color and the multi-colored leaflets on each frond.
