Thompson & Morgan Fern Athyrium Ghost 9cm Potted Plant x 1

Fern ‘Ghost’ makes a wonderful addition to a shady position in the garden as it is a delightful architectural plant. It is ideal for adding contrast and shape in containers and borders and will stand well into winter. This hardy fern is low maintenance and will unfold fresh new fronds each spring, adding interest to your garden. The popular Japanese Painted Fern sees an interesting new colour with the soft grey-green foliage of ‘Ghost’. Use this plant to break up blocks of colour in floral displays or alternatively use it individually to create a focal point. It can also be planted as a collection with other ferns from the ‘Fantastic’ range. Ferns should be fed and watered regularly until they are fully established. Apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or garden compost around the crown of each plant in spring. Ferns should be potted up and grown on in a shaded, frost free location until they are large enough to plant in their final position outdoors. Before planting Japanese Painted Ferns out in borders or containers, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions for 7 to 10 days. This should only be done when the plants are well grown and all risk of frost has passed. Plant ferns in sheltered, dappled shade in fertile, moist soil that is acidic or neutral.
