|
| Common Name: Lady Fern |
| Description: RHS Award of Garden Merit. Large, vigorous, showy fern with lacy cut, lance-shaped leaves. For fairly moist, semi-shaded area. Not evergreen.
On native ferns, we can only guarantee live crowns, as they are slow to root in containers; they may never completely root down or form a solid root ball. Foliage does not ship well; remove old foliage and they will grow. |
