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.
