Ghost Deciduous Fern

Here’s a fern with an upright habit and silvery fronds that give it a ghostly look, hence the name. Emerging new fronds have a shimmering whitish color that darkens slowly to a silvery green with burgundy accents. ‘Ghost’ spreads slowly by shallow rhizomes, eventually becoming an excellent ground cover.  This is a strong grower. Among the colored ferns, this one is fairly subtle and combines well with most other plants.  Provide partial to full shade and moist but well-drained soil. 'Ghost' grows best in a sheltered location, and its color is best in light shade.
