Planting and Care Guide

Planting Tips

Plant in moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil. Space 18–24 inches apart. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch generously around the base to retain moisture.

Care Tips

Water consistently throughout the season- adequate moisture is essential for healthy, attractive fronds. Remove old or tattered fronds in early spring before new growth unfurls. Divide clumps every 4–5 years in spring to maintain vigor and spread the planting. A light application of balanced fertilizer in spring encourages lush growth. The silvery, ghostly foliage is exceptionally bright in shaded spots and combines beautifully with dark-leaved plants. Largely pest-free.
