Athyrium ‘Branford Beauty’
Hybrid Painted Fern |
USDA Zone: 3-9 |
Plant number: 9.015.310
An interesting cross between the Lady Fern and Japanese Painted Fern, combining the best traits of both parents. This forms a midsized mound of upright silvery-grey fronds, the leaves held on red stems. Excellent as a specimen, or for massing. A terrific contrast to bold-leaved plants such as Hosta. Foliage is deciduous in winter — leaves should be trimmed to the ground in late fall or early spring. Plants are easily divided in spring, ever 3 to 4 years. Plants will appreciate an evenly moist, rich soil. An organic mulch is recommended to help keep soil moist. Slowly spreads to form a patch.
