Japanese Painted Fern Athyrium niponicum, the Japanese painted fern, is a species of fern native to eastern Asia.

This species was redefined as a member of genus Anisocampium in 2011 based on phylogenetic analyses,
but the genus has since been sunk into Athyrium.
This deciduous fern has a creeping rhizome and a tuft-shape array of fronds.

Soft gray-green fronds have a silvery hue and maroon veining which gives this fern a delicate painted appearance.

It prefers constant moisture, but can handle some dryness. Add to shady or woodland gardens as well as containers.
