Athyrium niponicum 'Crested Surf' ~ PW® Crested Japanese Painted Fern

Crested Japanese Painted Fern is a striking high-contrast deciduous fern with twisting shimmering silver fronds with double crested tips and red centers giving it a ‘ruffled look’.  Best color with part shade and rich, moist well-drained soils.  Drought tolerant once established.  Crested Surf is virtually disease and pest free.

*Deciduous ferns may still be dormant until late spring. This will appear that we've delivered a pot full of dirt however a healthy robust fern is awaiting inside.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS:  Low maintenance plant.  Will turn brown if the soil dries out.

LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Gardens, Naturalized Areas, Rock Gardens, Ponds and Streams, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS: Coral Bells, Blue Zinger, Hosta
