Japanese Painted Fern

This selection is the most colourful fern for the shade garden, no other commonly available fern offers the combination of burgundy stems, silver-overlaid fronds, and deep purple centres that make this plant a genuine focal point in low-light conditions.

• Fronds emerge from the ground in a rich burgundy-purple colour in spring
• Fronds mature to silvery-green with deep purple midribs, a colour combination unique among ferns
• Clumping habit with a slight weeping effect; colonies spread slowly via shallow rhizomes
• Colours are most vivid in light shade, brighter conditions fade the silver overlay
