About this product

Japanese Painted Fern: A Shade Garden Showstopper Bring cool-toned drama to the shade garden with the elegant Japanese Painted Fern. This low-growing fern forms soft, flowing mounds of metallic-looking foliage that brighten dark corners with ease. Each frond features a striking blend of blue-green and silver with deep burgundy-purple stems and dark central ribs for added contrast. It’s the kind of plant that quietly steals the show. The compact size and spreading habit make it perfect for edging shady pathways, softening woodland gardens, or filling decorative containers with texture and color. It also thrives in consistently moist soil, making it a smart choice for rain gardens, low spots, and other damp areas where many plants struggle.
