The Lady Fern is an upright plant, a perennial native to the United States and Alaska. This graceful plant can reach a height between two and five feet tall. It boasts bright green leaves that have a fine, lacy texture. These fronds can grow from one to three feet long in the right, moist environment. The plant can spread between three and seven feet in diameter. However, this deciduous plant will still maintain a reasonably compact look.

Many names can refer to this lady fern. These include Athyrium Filix-Femina, Subarctic, Asplenium, Tatting type, and Common. It's derived from the wood-type 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 plant's development until it is ready to propagate.
