'Lady in Red' (Athyrium filix-femina var. angustum 'Lady in Red') is a spectacular cultivar of the northern lady fern selected for its **vivid burgundy-red stipes (stems) and rachises** that contrast dramatically with the light green, lacy fronds. The color is most intense in spring and early summer, fading somewhat by late season but returning with each new flush. It forms a graceful, vase-shaped clump 2–3 feet tall.
Partial to full shade; moist, rich, well-drained soil. Consistent moisture for best color. Hardy USDA zones 4–8. Combines beautifully with silver, chartreuse, and purple foliage plants.
