Description

Lady Fern is a beautiful, refreshing accent that adds a delightful splash of natural elegance to any landscape. In Michigan’s cool, shaded settings, its lacy, finely textured fronds create a polished, woodland look that is both inspiring and practical. With its compact clump-forming habit, Lady Fern works perfectly under trees, along borders, or even in container displays, offering a tidy, low-maintenance solution for areas with minimal direct sunlight. Its resilient, deep green foliage provides a satisfying textural interest throughout the growing season, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a refined and enduring shade-loving plant.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Thrives in full shade to partial shade; it requires minimal direct sunlight, favoring dappled or filtered light for optimal growth.
  • Watering: Maintain steady moisture during the growing season.
  • Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature, leaving a small gap around the crown to ensure proper airflow.
  • Pruning: Remove any dead or discolored fronds as needed to keep the clump tidy and to stimulate fresh, vibrant growth.

Lady Fern brings a fresh, elegant touch to Michigan landscapes, offering a stunning, textural accent that elevates shaded areas with its refined, low-maintenance beauty.
