Athyrium niponicum 'Apple Court' (Crested Japanese Painted Fern)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 5-8 12" tall Origin: Japan

Open House/Web-Only! We obtained this gem in 1994 from Roger Grounds and Diana Grenfell, former owners of Apple Court Nursery in the UK. This amazing selection of Japanese painted fern not only has lovely purple, silver and green markings, but each leaf is dramatically crested both up the sides and onto the tip. Our specimen in the garden has matured at 1' tall x 2' wide. This is a superb deer-resistant addition to the woodland garden that we were very pleased to name and introduce to commerce in 2003. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
