Description
A distinctive and lovely fern that can be grown as an indoor houseplant or year round outdoors in USDA Zones 8-11, the Rosy Maidenhair Fern grows into a small, upright clump to about 18 inches high and wide. While the deep green leathery mature foliage is handsome throughout the season, the very pretty young fronds emerge pink, which is highly unusual for a fern! It performs best in consistently moist and organically rich soils though has faired well through dry periods in our gardens where we have it growing in a woodland area near our garden pond. A reliable fern that has come back every year for many years in our Zone 8 Georgia gardens, we've seen no problems with pests or disease and the deer and rabbits turn their nose up to it.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing up to 12 to 18 inches tall and wide, the Rosy Maidenhair Fern can be grown in garden beds and containers situated indoors or outdoors. In the garden, it is ideal for use as an accent in small garden spaces or groupings in larger spaces. Looks great near the garden pond or other bodies of water or in containers that can be placed on patios, decks, or anywhere in the landscape that gets shade to part shade. Avoid direct afternoon sun. A fine addition to woodland gardens, shade gardens, pink theme gardens and mixed fern gardens.
Growing Preferences
The Rosy Maidenhair Fern is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average or better fertility in part shade to full shade. Some morning and evening sun is okay but avoid direct afternoon sun. It prefers a consistently moist soil rich in organic matter though will tolerate short dry periods. This fern will retain green foliage throughout the winter in warmer, frost-free climates. In colder climates it might be semi-deciduous or deciduous.
