This selection of autumn fern has become quite popular for its color and easy of care. The name 'Brilliance' Autumn Fern refers to coloration of the new growth, which comes on with shades of red, yellow and green reminiscent of the beautiful colors of fall. Older growth is a deeper consistent shade of green, which provides a backdrop for the new foliage. 'Brilliance' is evergreen in more mild conditions and perennial up to zone 5.
Why we like Athyrium 'Godzilla'?
This popular fern is fairly easy to maintain in deep shade. Watching the leaves consistently return and unfurl each spring is a magical process. We like this plant because it is easy to maintain, so long as the young leaves are protected from frost and plants are kept in soil that is consistently moist. It is also evergreen. It pairs well adding texture to plants like hosta and shade loving grasses.
