Athyrium niponicum 'Pictum'

 
Common name Japanese painted fern
Family dryopteridaceae
Life cycle perennial (Z4-8)
Size 18"
Light part shade

Popular fern with silvery-patterned fronds. We grew our first one for years in the shade garden, but I think its taller neighbors smothered it in the end. We bought a new specimen, which will get a more up-front position in the garden. For now it's overwintering in the veggie garden.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: vegetable garden
