Description:
The 2004 Perennial Plant of the year. This perennial low-maintenance Japanese painted fern is one of the showiest ferns for shade gardens. It is popular due to is hardiness nearly everywhere in the United States, except in the desert and northernmost areas in zone 3. ‘Pictum’ grows 18 inches tall and as it multiplies can make a clump that is more than two feet wide. ‘Pictum’ produces 12 to 18 inch fronds that are a soft shade of metallic silver-gray with hints of red and blue. This lovely fern, which prefers partial to full shade, makes an outstanding combination plant for adding color, texture and habit to landscape beds and containers. ‘Pictum’ has wine-red stems that bleed over into the silvery green fronds. The fronds unfurl to reveal a striking metallic gray, white old fronds stay a darker silver color.Foliage Height: 18", Blooming Height: n/a, Spread: 18-24"
