Award Winning Shade Garden Plant
The 2004 Perennial Plant of the Year was Athyrium niponicum ‘Pictum’ or Japanese Painted Fern and this plant should have to be in all shade gardens.
It is a charming plant choosing partial shade rather than deep shade. This fern colouring provides itself to being an exceptional contrast plant to other shade perennials such as Hosta and the brand-new gold coloured Carex ‘Lemon Zest’. Fully grown plants can be divided every 3 to 4 years to supply additional plants for zealous garden enthusiasts.
There are a number of brand-new ranges of Japanese painted fern that you may desire to browse for at your preferred garden centre. I saw this plant last year and I can inform you it will wind up in one of my garden containers this spring to fill a contrast plant function.
When you include the acclaimed ‘Pictum’ to the garden mix, you have a tough option to make. Which one to grow?
