Fern Japanese Painted Lady Fern 1 gal

Athyrium niponicum var. pictum — the Japanese painted fern — is a deciduous perennial prized for its striking silvery-grey and blue-green fronds with burgundy-red stems and midribs. A standout choice for shaded garden beds and woodland settings, this fern reaches 12 to 18 inches tall with a 24-inch spread, adding delicate texture and cool-toned color contrast to any landscape. Low-maintenance and shade-loving, it thrives in moist, well-draining soil and pairs beautifully with hostas and other shade perennials.
