Almost incorporeal lace-like leafs unwind from the earth each spring to give birth to this shade loving perennial. The lace-like leaves and just off-white green coloration creates a ghostly apparition in the shade of your garden. For those who love the supernatural or gardeners looking to add textured color to brighten a shady garden space, ghost makes an excellent choice. Ghost is a cross between the popular Japanese painted and Lady ferns making it taller and more tolerant of dry conditions that most athryrium ferns. 

General care for any tree or shrub is easy, but like any living thing will require your attention. Please educate yourself and follow these simple rules.

Athyrium Ghost - Fern

Tiarellas prefer soil that is well-drained and rich in organic matter. Just think about woodland conditions, lots of mulch, humus rich dirt, shade, and moist conditions are what tiarella like best. Mulch will help them thrive. Plant in spring or early summer and like all new plantings water immediately and deeply. Plants growing during a period of drought will require supplemental moisture so ensure that you water them frequently slowly and deeply when required. Divide plants as needed every three or four years in spring.
