‘Crested Surf’ is a Japanese painted fern, so it has the characteristic soft, silvery-gray foliage associated with that group, with purple/eggplant-colored tones along the midribs and stems. What makes ‘Crested Surf’ different is the unusual double-crested tips on the fronds. Rather than ending in a simple point, the ends have a ruffled, almost miniature-coral appearance.
The overall plant forms a graceful vase-shaped clump, making it particularly useful toward the front or middle of a shade border.
Height: approximately 18–24 inches
Spread: approximately 24–36 inches
