As creamy as a Japanese Painted Fern can get.  Fronds have a light green edge and a white center.  It is adaptable, easy to grow and reliable. Deciduous.  It will gradually spread to form an elegant ground cover. It is best in filtered shade - direct sun will burn the foliage.   Zone 4-9.  Ferns prefer soils high in organic matter that are well-drained but do not dry out. Easy care ground cover. Plant in woodland garden or shady borders with woodland phlox, jack-in-pulpit, hostas, tiarella, and toadlily.  Drought tolerant. Ferns are deer resistant.
