Athyrium niponicum 'Metallicum'

This fern brings a unique metallic sheen to your garden. Its colour provides a striking contrast to common green foliage.

You will notice its lance-shaped, grey fronds. They feature paler midribs and a distinctive red-purple central zone. This creates a watercolour effect that changes with the light.

  • Height and Spread: Reaches 30cm in height with a similar spread.
  • Other Names: Often sold as the Japanese Painted Fern.
  • Wildlife Benefits: This fern offers valuable ground cover for invertebrates like beetles and spiders. Frogs and toads may also use its cool, damp shelter.
  • Planting Tips: Plant in a shady or partially shady spot. Ensure the soil is moist and well-drained. It thrives in cool, damp conditions and will tolerate a sunny position if the soil never dries out.

Its deciduous nature means it dies back in winter, returning with new fronds each spring.
