Athyrium niponicum var. pictum 'Applecourt'

Athyrium niponicum var. pictum, known in English as "Japanese painted fern" and in French as fougère peinte, is a fern native to east Asia with beautifully coloured fronds.

My landlords' son got this beauty for the front shade garden (which we are hoping will replace the lawn eventually) at Valumart on the Danforth.
