athyrium niponicum var pictum2

So envious yours is thriving. I planted one in my fernery. It sulked for about a year then vanished without trace.

Love the colour of this. Does it need special conditions?

Like yours, mine is thriving and gets bigger every year.

Partial or full shade and acid or neutral soil, Gee.

Thanks, Wagger, I think this is another for the wish list.

I saw these in a florist's shop in Germany at the beginning of a two week holiday - couldn't pass them up at three euros for two plants. Then had to look after them for the rest of the holiday. lol.

so differant wagger, love the colour

Very eye-catching and lovely...

I have this one, it is my favourite, it is in deep shade, and I read somewhere it should be fed!!!! egg and bacon lol

Never any left on my plate for the plants, Daisy.

Nor me........

I read that the more sun it gets the more silver the leaves, but beware a pot I moved into the hot sun a couple of weeks ago were scorched brown.
Once you have a plant it splits up very easy best when it first starts growing in spring

I find it keeps its colour well in a shady spot, Bjs.

Yes mine do, however last year with a lack of sunshine my plants in shade were more grey not the usual silver hence the experiment.
