Hello Cindy,
I have not grown this one yet in the garden, but have been aware of it for a
couple of years now... have been considering ordering it. I would be interested in
any fairly long term experience with this one in gardens as well. How does it
stand up to heat? Any more sensitive to dry than the other painted ferns? Lady
ferns make for some good parentage......
