Lady Fern

The lady fern is a graceful, native fern with finely divided, light green fronds that have an airier and more elegant appearance than most other ferns. The plant forms attractive, funnel-shaped clumps that unfurl with charming, coiled fiddleheads in spring. A perfect companion for hostas and other shade-loving plants.

Guía de cuidados

Plant in partial shade to full shade in moist, humus-rich soil. The lady fern needs more moisture than the male fern. Mulch annually with leaf compost to retain moisture. Water regularly, especially during dry summers. Avoid dry, sunny sites.

Consejos de poda

The foliage dies back in winter. Leave dead fronds as protection until early spring, then clear them before new growth appears. Divide crowded clumps every three to four years in spring.
