Coniogramme japonica 4a light lavender flowers on 15"Coniogramme japonica has long been one of the most admired and requested ferns from our garden. Japanese bamboo fern is a unique bold textured fern with upright, 2' tall, dark green, plastic feeling fronds, emerging from a slowly spreading rhizome. For us, our 10 year old clump of Coniogramme japonica is 3' wide. Where we have seen this growing in the wild, bamboo fern seems to prefer a moist to slightly moist woodland soil very easy to grow.
