Athyrium filix-femina - 3 Litre Pot
Athyrium 'Filix-Femina', or Lady Fern, is a deciduous fern with vibrant, medium to dark green foliage, forming feathery fronds reminiscent of lace. One of the Lady Fern's standout qualities is its ability to thrive in shaded or partially shaded locations - think dappled sunlight on a forest floor. A perennial fern that grows in clumps and typically reaches a height of up to 120cm, gradually spreading over time to form a graceful, arched contour, lending structure to the garden. The Lady Fern's growth pattern is characterised by new vibrant green fronds unfurling in the Spring and reaching their full size during the Summer months, providing lush texture and visual interest to the garden into early Autumn.
Great for filling spaces in between shrubs or under trees, this Lady works well in woodland style gardens or shaded areas and makes a lovely addition to a Japanese style or rock garden - giving a natural, wildlife feel. Low maintenance and generally pest resistant, playing a valuable ecological role in providing habitat for various wildlife species, making it a popular choice for bog, pond and water gardens.
