Athyrium niponicum pictum 'Regal Red'

Folks who say "all ferns look alike" have clearly not seen a Japanese Painted fern, and especially this 'Regal Red' athyrium. The silvery-green fronds with red stems and veins are so exquisite, florists will use them in floral arrangements and bouquets. Growing one to two feet tall and up to two feet wide, this variety may naturalize if it likes its home, forming rosettes of arching fronds from spring right up until fall freeze. 'Regal Red' is more tolerant of wet soils than some other species, so consider using it next to ponds or other water features.
