Lady Fern

Lady Fern is a mounding native deciduous fern with delicate-looking lacy fronds that are light green.  Best grown in part shade and rich, acidic and moist well-drained soils.  Lady Fern is one of the ferns that can tolerate full sun if given enough moisture but does not do well in full shade.  

*Deciduous ferns may still be dormant until late spring. This will appear that we've delivered a pot full of dirt however a healthy robust fern is awaiting inside.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS:  Low maintenance.  It has moderate to high water needs, keep the soil moist. Do not plant in areas with strong winds or high traffic- its stems are as delicate as they look. 

LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Gardens, Naturalized Areas, Rock Gardens, Ponds and Streams, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS: Swamp Rosemallow, Maidenhair Fern, Hosta
