Athyrium niponicum 'Burgundy Lace' PP 15,072, PVR (Japanese Painted Fern)

Part Sun to ShadeZone: 5-8 12" tall Origin: Japan

We first saw this amazing selection of Japanese painted fern on a West Coast trip in 1999 and have been patiently waiting for adequate stock to offer. Actually, "patiently" might not be a good choice of words. Regardless, the new leaves are a stunning purple with silver stripes along the vein lines and tips. As the older leaves mature, they transform into a contrasting silvery green with purple midribs. Athyrium 'Burgundy Lace' forms a truly dazzling clump in the woodland garden. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
