{"product_id":"ghost-ghost-fern-72-cell-plug-tray","title":"Ghost Ghost Fern - 72-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eGhost is a hybrid between the Japanese painted fern and the lady fern, with frosted, pale apple-green fronds that seem to glow in dim light. Dark purple stems hold the broad fronds firmly upright.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt grows taller than most painted ferns, 2 to 3 feet, and tolerates drier soil better than many of its relatives. It lights up shady beds and pairs well with dark-leaved shade plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBroad, lance-shaped fronds are finely divided into many leaflets with a frosted, silvery-white overlay on pale apple green, looking almost ghostly white in shade. Stems and midribs are dark purple, contrasting with the pale blades. The fronds stand stiffly upright, forming a vase-shaped clump 24 to 36 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide. In summer the clump is full and upright, pale and luminous against darker plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGhost fern belongs in the shade garden rather than the sunny lavender beds; use it to brighten a shaded corner under trees or on the north side of a building.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in part to full shade in humus-rich soil with average to consistent moisture; it copes with somewhat drier soil than many ferns once established. Hardy in zones 3 to 8.
