3-9Lady Fern Also Known As Athyrium filix-femina
The Lady Fern is a popular choice for many landscaping designs due to its pure green color and uniquely textured leaves. Known formally as Athyrium filix-femina, this plant reaches a height of two to three feet and a spread of three to seven feet. It is a fast grower that can flourish in various environments, making it ideal for adding lush green foliage to any landscape.
Lady Fern Adds Dimension To Your Garden
Native to the United States and Canada, this perennial sports feathery leaves that taper down to its base in an alternating pattern. Each frond is elongated and segmented into lance-like lobes, adding dimension and a unique texture to the garden. Each frond can reach two to three feet in length and forms a fully arched appearance.
This Fern Has Lush Light Green Foliage
The Lady Fern's light green hue is perfect for naturalizing a setting and is often used to prevent soil erosion in unstabilized areas. Despite its delicate appearance, it resists rabbits and deer. This versatile garden favorite is cold-tolerant and hardy, making it suitable for a wide range of climates.
It Has Many Names
This deciduous fern is ideal for adding volume to outdoor spaces. It is sometimes referred to as Tatting type, Female type, or Asplenium fern. This lacy, ornamental plant brings consistent green foliage throughout the growing season and goes dormant only during winter months.
This Plant Can Be Used As A Groundcover
As a lush groundcover, the Lady Fern is self-fertile and re-emerges from its previous year's rootstock each year. It grows quickly, and its stems transition from green to purple or red in the fall, adding seasonal color to your garden.

They arrived well packed and the correct number was included. A few more planting instructions (eg; depth) would help but I knew enough to manage it. the packing was good and I appreciated the reminder that these will not probably sprout till NEXT spring. This is for a fundraiser and I will share that information with all who purchased the ferns. None of the root clumps was measly. It WAS hard to read which kind of fern was in each bag because the black marker that had been used was obviously running out of ink. Make sure your staff uses a DARK marker so your customers know which is which. Finally, I would have appreciated a packing slip so that I could double check the order with the number of ferns provided. I didn't want my laptop in the planting area because of water and dirt. But all in all, this was a good purchase.
Once again thank you Tennessee Wholesale for sending big healthy plants that almost always thrive. My Fern garden is full of lady ferns that are spreading and thriving even in the sun. Thank you!
This is a wonderful addition to my flower garden. Looks great where I planted it.
I am happy with this product.
