More red and burgundy than most of the burgundy clones of the pictums. The pinnules twist a little making the frond look "fluffed-up" look.  Do not over feed it makes this fern less red.  This selected form of Japanese Painted Fern has arching triangular leaves of silver, with contrasting red stems in each leaflet. It forms a small mound that looks particularly good edging a woodland walkway, in shady borders or even in containers.  Foliage may be trimmed to the ground in late fall or early spring. Well-behaved, non-spreading habit. Plants may be divided in spring every 3 to 4 years if desired.

Tall, deciduous fern which typically grows in clumps to 2-3' tall, but with consistent moisture in optimum growing conditions can reach 6' in height. Broad fronds have large, well-separated leaflets that give this fern an almost pea-family appearance. Fronds typically turn yellow to brown in autumn. Spores are located in brown, tassel-like, fertile clusters at the tips of the fronds, thus giving rise to the additional common name of flowering fern for this plant. Interesting fact, Osmunda fiber used in the potting of orchids comes from the fibrous roots of these ferns.
