Description
A wonderful fern ideal for adding a bright splash of color and soft texture to the shade garden, Silver Lace Fern is an easy to grow moderate to fast growing perennial that features beautifully textured lacy, variegated white and green foliage. If you are looking for a plant that tolerates moist to wet soil conditions in shade, Silver Lace Fern is a fine choice. Can also be grown as an indoor houseplant.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 3 feet tall and equally as wide, the Silver Lace Fern is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings, or in stunning mass plantings to add color and texture to shady and moist areas. It's also great for pots, planters, hanging baskets and other containers that can be situated outdoors or indoors. A fine addition to woodland gardens, Asian gardens, bog gardens, cut foliage gardens, fern gardens, rock gardens, and around the garden pond and other water features.
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 8a, where this fern is not reliably winter hardy, you'll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Silver Lace Fern is easy to grow when planted right, and in the right spot. It adapts to most soil types, preferring a moist soil of average fertility and shade to mostly shade. All day dappled or filtered sun is okay, however, direct sun will cause damage to the leaves. This said, some early morning sun will be tolerated. If grown in dry soil make sure to provide ample water during dry periods or drought.
