Fern Athyrium (Lady Fern)
Color Name: Lady in Red
The Athyrium 'Lady in Red' is a stunning fern variety known for its striking appearance. Its delicate, lacy fronds emerge in a vibrant red hue that gradually matures into a deep green with a burgundy midrib, creating a captivating contrast. This deciduous fern thrives in shaded areas with moist, well-drained soil, adding a splash of color and elegance to gardens or indoor spaces. Its compact size makes it an excellent choice for container gardens or as a focal point in shaded landscapes. With its unique coloration and graceful foliage, the 'Lady in Red' fern is a beautiful addition to any plant collection, lending a touch of sophisticated charm wherever it grows.
Growing Tips: Athyrium grows best in moist soil with a neutral to moderately acidic pH. Partial to full shade is best. To protect the crowns and tender shoots in the spring, it is best to leave the old fronds on the plant over the winter. They can be removed in the spring when the new fronds reach 6 inches tall. If division is necessary, do so in the spring.
