Lady Fern Is A Hard To Find And Exotic Fern

It's derived from the wood fern family and tolerates heavy shade and rabbits. This non-flowering plant comprises between 20 and 30 pairs of non-opposite elliptic leaflets. Each one has a narrow tip point and is further segmented into subleaflets. On the underside of these subleaflets, you'll find clusters of spore-producing receptacles known as sori that take on a horseshoe-like shape. They will be covered with a transparent protective membrane known as indusia throughout the Fern's development until the plant is ready to propagate. 

This circumglobal perennial is widely used for ornamental in home gardens. It starts growing out in the early spring. You'll see its fiddleheads that have distinctive dark brown scales. As it grows out entirely, you can expect the Fern's lance-elliptic leaves to have a width between 4 and 14 inches. Its stems will be slightly grooved and can range in color from green to light brown. 

 This plant will remain beautifully luscious well into the fall. It will lose its leaves when the first frost comes. This Fern is a highly sustainable staple to bring any landscape to life as it offers expansive foliage in a pleasant bright green color. This particular Fern will continue to grow in circular clusters year after year.
