Lady Fern is a common fern in moist woods in North America, Europe, and Asia. Plus there are more than 300 named British forms. The wild type grows 2 to 3 feet tall from erect rhizomes. Its twice cut fronds are a soft green and are very fragile. Lady Fern is easy to grow in good moisture retentive soil in light shade. Use it with abundance with all the spring wildflowers, hostas, and Spicebush. Cat# 1031
