Japanese Painted Fern
A tiny plant that lasted 1 month before disappearing even though the chosen location perfectly met its requirements... Very disappointing.

Description
Athyrium niponicum Pewter Lace, sometimes called Lady Fern, is an exceptional deciduous fern, its bronze foliage with silvery hues is finely enhanced by purple stems. It will be superb in partial shade, bringing an elegant uniqueness to your woodland borders.
Native to Japanese forests and belonging to the Athyriaceae (Dryopteridaceae) family, Athyrium niponicum Pewter Lace is a fern with trailing rhizomes, with medium-sized growth ,40 x 40 cm (16in), perfectly hardy, at least down to -15°C (5°F). It forms a beautiful clump within a few years and bears magnificent arching fronds, with a quite unusual colour: bronze with silvery hues, enhanced by the purple hue of the stems.
It is an easy plant to grow as long as you meet its needs. Like most ferns, it likes moist but not too wet, humus-rich and rather acidic soils. It will thrive in partial shade, in a sheltered spot away from the winds.
In the garden, its uniqueness will make it particularly remarkable in woodland settings where we recommend associating it with other perennials with metallic reflections such as Heuchera Prince of Silver, Lamium Pink Pewter, or Ajuga reptans Atropurpurea.

Planting and care
Plant Athyrium niponicum in a shady or partially shady spot, protected from cold winds (please note that the denser the shade, the slower its growth) in a soil rich in organic matter, which is moist to wet but well-drained as it does not tolerate excess humidity. Athyrium does not tolerate limestone and thrives in soil that is rich or enriched with leaf compost or garden compost. The foliage slowly dries out from November, but it should not be cut before the end of March as it protects the stump. Also, remember to cover it with a good layer of dead leaf mulch in the autumn. During the first year of cultivation, it is necessary to ensure the watering of the young plant to help its establishment. This fern may be prone to rust.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
