Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms a dense, slowly spreading clump with fine, lacy leaves. The arching fronds have a distinct silver-gray color with mint-green edges, while bronze shades may be present in the coloring during the spring period.

The variety is intended for hardiness zones 4–9, prefers partial shade or full shade, and humus-rich moist soils. The fern exhibits resistance to heat and humidity, and is not susceptible to serious diseases or pest infestation.

In gardening, it is used as a foliage-ornamental accent for creating compositions in shaded flower beds, borders, plantings near water bodies, and as underplanting for tree and shrub groups.
