Lady Fern

Lady Fern has elegant, feather-like fronds that bring a soft woodland charm to any shaded garden space. These ferns are shade-tolerant, easy native ferns, and the best low-maintenance ferns. They thrive in part to full shade, prefer humus-rich soil, and produce larger fronds each season. Despite their delicate appearance, they are hardy, resilient, and can withstand cold winters, damp springs, and fluctuating summer temperatures.
