Fern Lady Fern Athyrium filix-femina 1 gal

Lady Fern is a versatile, shade-loving fern with delicate, finely textured fronds that reach up to 3 feet tall. Native across a wide range, it adapts well to rich, medium-moisture soil and tolerates drier conditions better than most ferns. It even handles some direct sun if soil stays moist. This 1-gallon specimen pairs beautifully with Wild Ginger, Solomon's Seal, and sedges in woodland gardens. Its soft green fronds maintain color throughout summer and spread slowly via rhizome to form small colonies—ideal for wooded slopes and erosion control. Plant in a wind-sheltered spot to protect fronds from damage. Divide clumps every few years in spring to encourage faster naturalization. A low-maintenance choice for shade gardens seeking texture and movement.
