Athyrium nipp. 'Ursula's Red'
Deciduous. Height to 30cm.
A stunning Painted Fern with strong colouration, especially the centre of the frond. A word of caution, you may see other photo's of this fern looking incredibly, almost unwordly dramatic. I've never seen one with as much contrasting colours and suspect liberties may have been made with photoshop or equivalent but it is still a fabulous fern,
As with other painted ferns give them an organic rich soil with good drainage and mulch each late autumn with leaf mould.
