Park Seed Athyrium ‘Ursula’s Red’

All Japanese Painted Ferns are vibrantly colored, but ‘Ursula’s Red’ can only be called iridescent, with its shimmering play of silver-white and rich maroon-red. Absolutely breathtaking in the shade garden among green-foliaged plants, it is so showy that you may just have to introduce it to the patio, border, and waterside plantings! Long, finely cut, wonderfully elegant fronds unfurl in spring a gleaming white on top and rich wine-red underneath. As the season progresses, the red tones begin to influence the top of the leaves, and the white sizzles into silver. Creating a fabulous two-tone effect, ‘Ursula’s Red’ stands out brilliantly among other Ferns as well as with Hostas and other shade lovers.
