Lady Fern - 3.5 inch Pots (Minimum Quantity: 25 Plants)
Graceful, feathery, and timelessly elegant, the Lady Fern (Athyrium filix-femina) brings a touch of woodland charm to any garden. Its finely cut fronds—ranging from light to medium green—unfurl each spring like a slow waltz of renewal. This native perennial fern forms upright clumps that grow slightly taller than wide, lending a soft vertical texture to shaded borders, woodland paths, and moist garden beds.
Winter brings dormancy, but come spring, the Lady Fern’s tender fronds reappear with quiet drama, reminding you that beauty often begins beneath the surface. A true heirloom of the forest floor, it pairs beautifully with hostas, trilliums, and wild ginger for a lush, natural look.

Comments: Except during dormancy when it's practically invisible, lady fern is a visual delight. Delicate, light green fronds unfurl in early spring when deciduous trees are just beginning to sprout foliage. Sunlight through the canopy makes lady fern sparkle. As the growing season progresses, fronds turn to medium green. With its lush fronds and easy care, Lady Fern is a great choice for any shaded outdoor space.
