Lady Fern, Athyrium filix-femina, is a stunning addition to your landscape, known for its lacy-cut, erect or ascending, 2 to 3-pinnate or pinnatifid, finely-divided, lanceolate, light green fronds. These fronds grow in a dense circular shuttlecock-like clump reaching 2-3' tall. Each leaf boasts twenty to thirty pairs of elliptic non-opposite pinna with narrow pointed tips, adding a delicate and intricate texture to your garden. While ferns don't have flowers that provide resources to pollinators they frequently host larval stages of important moth species and other insects. Embrace the elegance and ecological benefits of incorporating this beautiful deciduous fern into your outdoor spaces.
