This enchanting fern is known by the names brocade fern and rainbow fern for good reason, as its shimmering metallic leaves impress with a fascinating play of colors in shades of silver, red, brown and green. An added bonus to its decorative appearance is the fact that it is not too complicated to care for. In winter it rests in its rhizome and sprouts anew in spring.
