‘Fronds Forever’ Lady Fern (Athyrium)

Description

(Lady Fern) Add texture to your shade garden with Athyrium ‘Fronds Forever’. This Athyrium, also known as Lady Fern, features crested, solid green leaves. Individual leaflets, called fronds, line the leaf stem giving the plant a thin textured appearance. Tassels appear at the ends of each frond and at the end of the whole leaf itself giving it that crested appearance. Ferns grow best in full shade to part shade areas. When planted next to hostas or brunneras, they add complimentary contrast in size and leaf texture. This perennial is hardy in zones 3-8, and can grow to a max height of 24 inches and spread up to 18-24 inches. Plant in moist soil and water frequently. ‘Fronds Forever’ Lady Fern can be planted in shade gardens, in the landscape, or in containers. You won’t have to worry about rabbits when planting this lady fern, as it is rabbit resistant. Athyrium ‘Fronds Forever’ is a Proven Winners® Perennial.
