Description
Silvery Glade Fern meets all the expectations commonly associated with a fern's foliage. It is airy and symmetrical, elegant, and deep-toned. The fern is reminiscent of the Victorian era yet has enough pop to make it a contemporary garden specimen. The plant prefers shade and moisture but is highly adaptable to temperatures. You can find it growing in hardiness zones 3 through 7. Native to the Midwestern and Northeastern United States, the silvery glade fern is tolerant of cold conditions despite its exotic appearance.
The plant's fronds boast lengths of up to 3 feet and diameters of up to 1 foot. Each elaborate leaflet reaches 6 inches, with 22 leaflets per frond rough. Each leaf is uniform, resulting in a highly accurate display.
The silvery description might seem incorrect since the plant is olive green in color, but during the hotter months, the undersides of the plant take on a silver sheen. Bright glad fern reaches heights up to 3 feet with an equal-sized spread. Though you can place it in pots and urns, it is often planted directly in the soil. It prefers light soils amended with slightly decaying organic matter for moisture and fertility.
This fern is a prolific understory planting with enough textural display to make it exciting and modest to keep it from overshadowing bright annuals or upright and highly ornamental plants. Its preference for shade and moisture make it the perfect landscape plant for foundations and shade gardens. Areas under dense trees are often difficult to plant, but silvery glade fern will happily take root.
Flower Form: There are different types of glade ferns, and each has its beauty. The leaves are usually shaped like a feather. The leaf can be 9 inches long and almost 3 inches across. Some leaflets grow up to 4.5 inches. The leaflets on the central leaf can number between 20 and 30 pairs.
The glade fern does not have flowers, but the beauty of the leaves makes up for the loss of flowers. The glade fern spreads from underground and fills out nicely. The glade fern is one fern that is well noticed by its size. Glade fern is an excellent wetland fern. This plant thrives in moisture-filled soils near wetland areas. These plants also love the shade and are slightly drought-tolerant compared to other ferns.
