Japanese Painted Fern (Athyrium nionicum var. pictum)

After you have made your circle (or half circle if an obstacle is in the way) and gently take your shovel and push it under the fern and then gently push the shovel down so the plant slightly lifts up. Repeat around the plant trying to keep root ball in tact (we have had 3 days of rain so the ground is wet and perfect)
