Regal Red Fern
Athyrium niponicum 'Regal Red'
Add vibrant color and graceful texture to shaded garden spaces with Regal Red Fern. This striking fern features finely dissected, lace-like fronds that emerge a vivid red in spring and mature to a rich bronze-green, providing dynamic seasonal interest.
Ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders, and containers, Regal Red thrives in part to full shade with moist, well-drained soil. Its compact, clumping habit makes it perfect for adding bold foliage contrast alongside hostas and other shade-loving perennials.
Low-maintenance and deer-resistant, this fern is a beautiful, hardy choice for gardeners seeking color and elegance in the shade.
