‘Grey Ghost’ Lady Fern (Athyrium Niponicum ‘Grey Ghost’)

Just to prove my point that there’s a lot of variety with ferns, how about a silvery white one? This cultivar is called ‘Grey Ghost’ because the shade of the leaves is just surreal.

It looks like a plant from the Moon, not Earth. And in fact, it has a great lunar quality to it.

However, the mid rib adds to the visual effect of the shiver leaves as it is actually reddish purple. No wonder it has won the Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society.

The leaf shape is not unusual like other fern species, as is bio innate and alike those of most fiddlehead ferns (which is still fantastic), but its very original shade makes it a very ethereal presence in any garden.

This species of ferns are absolutely perfect for modern, even minimalist gardens, where it can even take center stage, but also as a touch of originality in more traditional gardens, where you can even use this fern as undergrowth for roses and shrubs.

• Exposure: partial shade and full shade.

• Height: 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm)

• Hardiness: it is hardy to USDA zones 4 to 9.

• Soil needs: clay, loam or sandy soil, neutral or acidic and it must be well drained and kept humid. It tolerates clay soil and well as wet soil.
