Japanese Painted Fern Burgundy Lace PP#15,072

The Most Colorful Fern Yet! A variegated Japanese Painted Fern with burgundy and silver accents! Plant Patent #15,072Has there ever been a more beautiful, easier to grow Fern for the shady garden? I can't imagine how -- Burgundy Lace is just too spectacular, with its changing colors and resistance to every form of extreme weather. (Even the deer leave it alone!) From the moment its breathtaking new fronds unfurl in spring (purple with a silver midrib!) to their mature beauty as burgundy-streaked pewter leaves, this super-easy groundcover Fern is an ever-changing joy in the garden!You will spend a lot of time in the partly to fully shaded garden this spring, just admiring the fresh new foliage of this Fern! The new leaves are dazzling purple shot with silver accents and punctuated with ruby-red midribs. If it all sounds a bit Technicolor, it should -- these fronds are neon-bright and eye-catching from across the yard! Then, as the season progresses and the weather warms up, the leaves become a gleaming shade of pewter and the ruby midribs mellow to a dark, rich, wine-red purple. Absolutely stunning!The plant itself couldn't be simpler to care for. It likes partial to full shade and moist, reasonably well-enriched soil with good drainage. Once established in your garden, it will put up with much poorer, drier soil, but pamper it these first few seasons by making sure the soil is amended with some humus or compost and keeping it moist throughout the growing season. It will repay you with many years of effortless, showstopping color, not to mention superb resistance to extreme heat, humidity, cold, and even drought!A foot high and at least that wide, Burgundy Lace is ideal for the front of the shade border, accent plantings here and there in backyard and patio, and a mass display in the woodland garden. It looks wonderful with yellow-leafed plants, as you might expect, and it's no slouch when placed alongside greens, blues and even dark purples, either -- its silvery tones pick up the subtleties of color in neighboring foliage just beautifully! (Try it alongside Astilbe Gloria Purpurea for an unbelievable rosy-purple display!) For some quick color the first year (while you're waiting for newly-planted perennials and shrubs to grow up and around it), pop some lavender Impatiens or showy Begonias into the soil and enjoy a season of brilliant annual color, too!Japanese Painted Fern is ideally suited for American gardens, appreciating our long, often humid summers. It also loooks great in containers, where you can move it around to provide brilliant accents just where you want them! If you're new to Ferns, give Burgundy Lace a try -- you'll be surprised by how easy and attractive it is. And if you have loved other Japanese Painted Ferns, you owe it to yourself to try this new superstar! Please order promptly, though -- Burgundy Lace is bound to sell out quickly this season!
