Fern Athyrium (Crested Painted Fern)
Color Name: Crested Surf
Athyrium 'Crested Surf' is an enchanting fern variety admired for its unique fronds. Its lush, arching foliage is characterized by intricately crested edges, resembling waves or ripples, hence the name 'Crested Surf.' The dark green color and delicate texture of its fronds create an elegant and mesmerizing display, making it a captivating addition to shaded gardens or indoor spaces. This fern thrives in moist, well-drained soil and prefers partial to full shade, showcasing its exquisite foliage as it gracefully sways in the gentlest of breezes.
Growing Tips: Athyrium grows best in moist soil with a neutral to moderately acidic pH. Partial to full shade is best. To protect the crowns and tender shoots in the spring, it is best to leave the old fronds on the plant over the winter. They can be removed in the spring when the new fronds reach 6 inches tall. If division is necessary, do so in the spring.
