Athyrium niponicum var. pictum 'Metallicum'
Athyrium niponicum var. pictum 'Metallicum' is a striking deciduous fern admired for its finely divided fronds in shimmering shades of silver, green and burgundy. Its metallic colouring brings exceptional contrast and texture to shaded planting schemes.
The elegant fronds emerge in spring and provide a long season of interest through summer and into autumn before naturally dying back for winter. The combination of silvery foliage and burgundy tones makes 'Metallicum' particularly effective alongside other shade-loving plants.
Low maintenance and easy to grow, this colourful fern is ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders and reliably moist areas. It performs best in partial or full shade with moist but well-drained soil and combines beautifully with Hostas, Heucheras and other woodland plants.
