Check out this fern!
I got this at a nice nursery up in Seattle... It's Dryopteris seiboldii (wood fern), but this was the only one out of all the plants for sale that looks like it has variegated fronds. The rest were all solid green.
It seems like there are two plants in this pot, one solid green and the other has white/silver centers down every frond.
Has anyone seen anything like this before?

Hi Doublemom2,
I just love ferns and recently I was visiting a public garden in Columbus, OH called Inniswood. They had recently been given some ferns by the Hardy Fern Foundation to plant in their shade garden and to monitor their hardyness. This garden is in Z5.I saw a fern which looks very similiar to the one you have at this garden. I thought it was soooo striking I had to take a picture to do more research. I also took a picture of the label they still had in the pot with the fern.After doing some research on the interest I do not believe the label was in the right pot. It doesn't add up. I would love to know the name of the fern because I would love to grow one if I could.
I have Dryopteris sieboldii growing for two years now in my garden, we are Z5b! It comes up very late, like the middle of June for me.
Good luck finding out the name of your fern. You were were very lucky to find it.
