Home of the NO SMALL PLANTS!

We are a bona fide nursery where we grow plants. That means we don’t just pop our plants out of a tray and sell you a liner. Our plants are grown on to a bigger size, many times even to a mature plant!

Humble Hen Farm & Nursery

Height: 24-36 inches Spread:  18.0-24.0 inches

Common Name: Athyrium ‘Ghost’



Athyrium ‘Ghost’

.

  • A hybrid cross between Japanese Painted fern (A. niponicum ‘Pictum’) and Lady Fern (A. filix-femina), this selection sports stunning frosted apple green fronds that seem to emit a ghostly white light in the shade. Dark purple stems hold the broad fronds rigidly upright. This selection is taller than many other Athyriums and is more tolerant of dry soil.

Info: Our plants are grown in 5.25 x 5.25 x 5.25 inch pots and develop large root systems. These are not a small liner but a plant you can put right into your garden. That means you will get a bigger plant right away compared to a starter plant. We guarantee you will get a true to type healthy plant that you will love for years. If you have any problems or questions we are happy to help. During early spring plants may still be breaking dormancy so they may appear smaller than they will be when they fully leaf out. In the fall or winter the plants may be semi or completely dormant. That means they may have no leaves. This is not a reason for concern they will wake up at the appropriate time in the spring. 

Shipping: We do not ship to Hawaii or Alaska due to cost and import restrictions.   Plants will be removed from their pots and loose soil removed and the rootball placed in a bag. We are an inspected nursery from the VA Dept of AG.
