Athyrium Silver Sentry Rhynchospora You've seen it in all

You've seen it in all the English gardening books

beginning in mid-February when the outward-facing flowers open pink and age to a lovely dark pinkish-red

they are limited in the number of times they can recover

flared flower is highlighted with a light purple stripe down the center of each petal

creating a lovely see-through effect

Athyrium Silver Sentry Rhynchospora You've seen it in allAthyrium 'Silver Sentry' is a 2014 Plant Delights introduction that started its life as a sporeling in our garden a cross of the Japanese painted fern and a giant local selection of lady fern that we call Athyrium filix femina 'Kipling Giant'. The result is a stunning 54" tall, deciduous clumping specimen of silvery grey leaves that adds an entire new element to the woodland garden.
