The Northern maidenhair fern, Adiantum aleuticum 'Japonicum', is a spectacular fern that grows from unfurling, copper-pink fronds in spring. As the fronds age they gradually become golden-green in colour. It looks lovely growing alongside ferns and other shade-loving plants, and is well-suited to growing in a woodland border.
For best results, grow Adiantum aleuticum 'Japonicum' in partial or dappled shade in moist, well-drained and humus-rich soil.
