Athyrium niponicum Red Beauty - Japanese Painted Fern

A super selected form of deciduous Japanese painted fern that has silvery-green arching fronds with contrasting stems of veins of burgundy-red.

This has to be one of the most colourful ferns for the garden,with an unusual and elegant look, Athyrium will form a low growing mound in the garden, spreading slowly over several seasons to form dense herbaceous colonies where it is happy, thus it is great for providing ground cover in a partially shaded spot on its own or mixed with other contrasting ferns, or perhaps try it mixed under trees with Autumn bloom hardy cyclamen for something very different and quite special. Supplied in approx 2-3 litre containers.
