Athyrium niponicum ‘Burgundy Lace’

A refined, ornamental fern valued for its strikingly coloured fronds. The finely divided, lacy foliage emerges with soft silvery tones overlaid by rich burgundy-red central stems and veins, intensifying in colour through the growing season. It forms an elegant, arching clump that brings contrast and texture to shaded planting schemes.
