More Information

Description A must-have for your fern collection! This new perennial, the first fern from Proven Winners, tops its each of its colorful fronds with a curly little flourish known as a crest. 'Crested Surf' Japanese painted fern (Athyrium niponicum) looks like some kind of magical seaweed - but this plant will be right at home in your shade garden. Sage-green and white leaflets are neatly arranged along a purple stem, a color cue that makes it ideal for pairing with plum-colored heuchera. We've never seen anything quite like it and are so excited to be able to offer it this year. Details How To Grow

Crested Surf Japanese Ferns

When my plants arrived they had been really shaken and several of the fronds were broken, the soil was dry and loose. I watered them immediately, waited over 24 hours before planting but they are really struggling…not happy!!!
