Burgundy Lace Japanese Painted Fern has earned its reputation as a standout for one simple reason: the color is unmatched. New fronds emerge in rich, metallic burgundy tones brushed with silver, creating a luminous effect that instantly elevates shaded spaces. The coloration is bold yet refined, offering depth and contrast where flowers are often scarce.
As the season progresses, the fronds gradually mature to soft gray-green while retaining their dramatic burgundy midribs and silvery sheen. The finely cut, arching foliage forms a tidy, spreading clump that feels both structured and airy. This balance of texture and color makes it an exceptional companion to hostas, heucheras, and other shade perennials.
Reliable, vigorous, and easy to grow, Burgundy Lace Japanese Painted Fern thrives in humus-rich soils and sheltered shade. It naturalizes gently by short rhizomes, creating lush colonies without becoming aggressive. Whether used as a focal point, groundcover accent, or repeating element along woodland paths, this fern delivers season-long interest with minimal effort.
