The graceful ‘Lady fern’ has delicate, bright green, ladder-like deciduous foliage. It likes a shady situation and looks lovely planted at a woodland edge. Excellent for a shady place in the garden where other plants may not thrive. Plant in moist soil with well rotted leaf mold. Height to 120 cm. This plant is also suitable for the Pondside/Bog garden. Place around the edge of a pond, providing soil is damp and not waterlogged. Alternatively plant in damp areas of the garden.
