(US PP 12,803 expired) (aka: Anisocampium niponicum) Oregon's Diana Ballantyne introduced this stunning, clonal selection of the wonderful deer-resistant Japanese painted fern. Athyrium 'Silver Falls' matures to a 20" tall x 3' wide clump with long, arching fronds that display an extraordinary amount of silver patterning, highlighted by the dramatic red-purple veining in the leaves. This hardy garden fern has more abundant and brighter-colored markings than most ladies of the evening...and is a whole lot cheaper!
