Japanese Painted Fern 'Regal Red' 1 Gallon

Athyrium niponicum

This subtle, but handsome fern has a low, mounding habit with violet-red stems and silver-green fronds. Place in a container or grow in the shade garden with Hosta, bleeding heart and Astilbe. Plant in evenly moist, nutrient rich soil amended with organic matter like compost and planting mix. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water, once a week the first year. Use slow release fertilizer in spring or at planting; reapply midsummer. Mulch 1-2" to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. Excellent shade garden color and texture, deer and rabbit resistance.
