For 2015, Plant Delights is pleased to introduce several new ferns from our trial program.  Athyrium niponicum ‘Thrill Seeker’ is one of two dwarf compact crested Japanese painted fern selections from a five year joint effort between us and our friend Hans Hansen of Walters Gardens.

The second of these crested selections is Athyrium ‘Joy Ride’…quite distinct from Athyrium ‘Thrill Seeker’ when seen side by side.

Another unique fern that hasn’t been offered before is the 5′ tall, prehistoric looking Pronephrium penangianum.  This amazing fern has been fabulous in our trials, but we doubt it will tolerate winters much colder than 0 degrees F.
