Noted for its vigor and superb elegance, Athyrium filix-femina (Lady Fern) is a lovely deciduous fern forming a large rosette of upright to arching, lacy, lance-shaped, fresh-green fronds. The stems are generally green but sometimes display a very interesting red hue. Fast-growing, this fern is easy to grow and perfect for filling gaps between shrubs or under trees. Low maintenance, pest and disease free.

• Clump-forming, it easily grows up to 1-3 ft. tall (30-90 cm) and 12-30 in. wide (30-75 cm). This plant naturalizes well and can form great colonies if happy.
• Recipient of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society for its outstanding qualities
• A part to full shade lover, it is best grown in fertile, humus-rich, medium moisture, well-drained soils. Do not allow the soil to dry out. More tolerant of drier soils than most other ferns. Will tolerate full sun, if consistent moisture is provided. Provide a sheltered location.
• This plant is a great choice for shady beds, borders, underplanting of shrubs, cottage gardens, woodlands, rain gardens, or along streams, ponds, or water gardens.
• Rabbit, deer, clay, and wet soil tolerant!
• Dead or damaged fronds may be removed as necessary.
