Description

Athyrium 'Silver Sentry' is a 2014 Plant Delights introduction that started its life as a sporeling in our garden...a cross of the Japanese painted fern, Athyrium filix-femina, and a giant local selection of lady fern that we call Athyrium filix-femina 'Kipling Giant'. The result is a stunning 54" tall, deciduous clumping specimen of silvery grey leaves.
