I picked up some Anthyrium 'Burgundy Lace' plugs and I'm wondering if these are aggressive growers. I know little about them aside from the fact that they're very attractive
Would appreciate any information you care to share.

Thanks!

That's the Japanese Painted Fern, right?

They are not overly aggressive, but excellent performers, even in dry shade with root competition. In fact, the only fern I grow that looks decent all season. (The hay-scented fern is not bad, but don't let it ever dry too much.)

I really like the burgundy coloring in these, which can be picked-up with suitable color companion plants-- in addition to hostas, which are perfect with them.

it is John. TNN where I got them says it clumps, it's low growing, hates full sun and salt. Unfortunately I've learned to distrust what TNN says and look for other opinions.

Their photo shows a burgundy colored fern. Here they're mostly silver with traces of green and burgundy-very pretty but nothing like the photo.

I was mostly worried about how aggressive they might be. Nice to hear they're not. Some will be sold (to pay for my plant habit ) and some will go into my beds.

Thanks!
