Athyrium nipponicum 'Pewter Lace' brings a touch of gothic elegance to the garden with its silvery-grey fronds veined in deep burgundy, like lace spun from moonlight and mystery. Its sultry foliage has a delicate, yet bold look, like a silvered corset meets enchanted forest.
Growing to 30–45 cm tall and 40–60 cm wide, it forms compact clumps that thrive in part to full shade and moist, humus-rich soil. Deciduous by nature, it vanishes in winter like a ghostly whisper, only to reappear in spring with fresh, dramatic flair. Perfect for adding a moody, romantic vibe to woodland borders or shaded containers.
