Athyrium niponicum 'Pictum' (Japanese Painted Fern)

Thumbnail Photo

Purplish-red veins and stems with silver-grey fronds funneling down into dusty purple centers. One of the most colorful and attractive ferns. We have this in our morning sun garden and it does quite well with a bit of moisture. Combine with other ferns, primula, iris, ajuga, bergenia. Spreads by rhizomes.
