'Snowflake' Variegated Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum raddianum variegatum 'Snowflake')
'Snowflake' Variegated Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum raddianum variegatum 'Snowflake')
This stunning cultivar of A. raddianum actually has variegated foliage! New fronds emerge in brilliant shades of light green, pink and red, then fade through yellow tones and finally to green as they unfurl. Loosely arranged, fan-shaped pinnae hover over black stipes, giving this fern an open, somewhat ephemeral look. As the fronds harden off and mature they begin to show striations of white, giving this fern a truly muti-layered and multicolored appearance. Variegation is strongest on mature fronds that have become shaded by newer growth above. In our trials, this fern handled bright, direct light almost as well as ‘Brilliantelse’ and better than ‘Fritz Luthi’.
