A showstopper in the shade garden, Burgundy Lace Fern offers finely textured, arching fronds with silvery-gray tones and bold burgundy highlights along the veins and midribs. A cultivar of the Japanese painted fern, it thrives in moist, well-drained soils and spreads slowly to form graceful clumps. This deciduous fern adds soft movement and rich color contrast under trees, in woodland borders, or tucked between hostas and heucheras. Its colorful foliage remains vibrant from spring through fall, and the plant’s refined structure brings a painterly feel to low-light spaces.
