Arching, finely divided triangular fronds are pinkish-bronze in spring, maturing to pale green. This delicate-looking deciduous fern is perfect for a sheltered, water-side planting or a moist shady border. Happiest in humus-rich, acid soil in light dappled shade - it's aptly named as the fronds will scorch if exposed to too much sun. - Garden care: Incorporate lots of well-rotted leaf mould or composted pine needles when planting. Ensure that the compost or soil is kept moist - water during dry spells.
