Red Beauty Fern The Red Beauty Fern is a quick-growing plant for any partly to fully shaded garden location. The upright fronds do not turn green in hot summer weather. The Red Beauty can be used in containers, borders, and the fronds may be used for indoor arrangements. Rabbits prefer not to eat on the Red Beauty Fern. The stems and veins remain bright red from spring to frost, while its long, elegant, lacy fronds cast silvery-green shadows in the shade. The Red Beauty Fern, Athyrium 'Red Beauty', is a very vigorous and attractive relative to the Japanese Painted Fern. The deeply-dissected, fern-like, medium green leaves have a strong, somewhat spicy aroma that may persist when used in dried arrangements. Place this plant in moist, well-drained, enriched soil. You can use this plant as a groundcover because of its broad habit and fast growth. |
