Japanese Painted Fern
Baby fern that I hope will grow up to be beautiful next season.
first foliage in spring looks dry and crispy--I thought the plant had sprouted and died! but it shortly turns silver/burgundy
This fern gets more and more beautiful every year. It spreads modestly, but is definitely staking out more room in my garden. Fine by me.
In full shade, damp clay soil, zone 8. Mid-July after overwintering in ground. This one's about 18" tall.
one of mine makes these fringed ends on its fronds
