Ghost Fern

Athyrium 'Ghost'

These perform better in the North Side Yard. The front garden gets quite dry and the fronds collapse in the dog days of summer. Excellent choice for a shady area with lots of moisture.

    Comes back every year, and pest free. Would like to see more 'fullness' to the clump

    About Me

    Hi! I'm Lorie and I wrangle plants in a muddy, feral shade garden in the Pacific Northwest. I built this site to serve as a gardening journal and quasi-accurate record of planting successes and failures. My goal is to help "future me" be a better gardener. I hope what I've learned along the way can be useful to you too. Thanks for visiting!
