Athyrium filix-femina 'Lady in Red' (Red-stemmed Lady Fern)

Deciduous like the specie above, 'Lady in Red' is also as tough and easy to grow for woodlands or the shady perennial garden. Vibrant burgundy color runs through the stems, contrasting not only with the 30-36" lime green fronds, but with other shade lovers such as purple-leaved Heucheras, blue or variegated Carex, any number of Hostas, and Polygonatum 'Variegatum'.
