Garden Scorpions and Their Role

Lady Fern

Lady Fern  Lady fern, known as Athyrium filix-femina, are natural perennials that can reach a height of five feet. Their large, lacy leaves are a brilliant green, each growing as wide as a foot. The leaves are a verdant green as the summer progresses, but they turn a golden yellow as winter approaches.  The stems of the fronds might be green, purple, or red. As the temperature decreases in the autumn, the leaves fall off; they always grow back in the spring. As they spread out from a core base, a cluster of these plants will form around an original fern. They are more tolerant of dry soils than other ferns and can even handle partial sunshine in damp soil.  Soil Enrichment The rhizome root systems of these plants play a significant role in soil stabilization. You can use the fronds that fall from these ferns as mulch. These plants also enhance soil erosion prevention through their dense plant cover and unique slope adaptation.  Wildlife Habitats Because of their fibrous root systems and thick, verdant foliage, these ferns are great for creating homes for animals in their native environments. Many small animals, like beetles and spiders, find cover and a place to lay their eggs among the complex fronds while the plant protects them from danger. Birds and other animals, including some amphibians and reptiles, feed on the plant's decaying matter, fungi, and other organic material in the soil and leaf litter for sustenance.  Garden Borders With Lady Ferns The Lady fern has been around for a long time in American woods, but it's recently become a popular landscaping plant. It works excellently as a garden border, which helps keep certain animals away. With its somewhat tall stature, these ferns are also perfect for layering borders in the garden. When planted toward the front or center of the border, respectively, they provide a lovely low-front or mid-height addition.
