Bought four of these plants from Lowe's along with some other sized ferns and plantings to accent the sides of my newly built stone stairway going down a bluff to the lower level of our property.
These are absolutely striking plants and look wonderful! They are only about 1' high right now and should double in size. Looking forward to watching them grow and fill out!
Planted along with Hosta's, Male Fern, Ostrich Fern, Hydrangea, Astilbe, and Liriope.

One of the smaller ferns, it is very similar in size and habit to the Japanese Painted Fern, but with markedly different coloration. They are also significantly later to leaf out than many other ferns.
While they may be 'drought tolerant' consistent watering is instrumental in them doing well. They will not wilt or die from a spell of dryness, but they grow and spread much better if regularly watered.

I love this plant.. I've had this spot, by the back of my yard, by a fence, that has just been plain, the only place in my whole yard, that has nothing in it.. Ive tried many plants, but have never been happy with anything i have put there.. I was in teh garden center today, and on my way out, this fern caught my eye, the nice bronze color was really outstanding and i knew when i saw it, it would work great in that bare spot! When i got home, man, it made that bare spot, be a beautiful spot, now my garden belnds in, and i cant believe that i have been without this fern!! It is a great size, and the color works well against all the other green plants.. I know it will do well.. I love it

Gorgeous fern. (I actually got mine from lupinelover). :) Burgundy fronds turn greenish as they age. Can tolerate drought conditions and can reach a height of 24". They are deer resistant. If newly purchased, be sure to set plants at the same depth they were in pot, spacing at a distance equal to their mature spread. Great companion plant to hosta and coral bells.
