Lady Fern is an upright fern native to damp woodland environments throughout North America that can reach up to 5 feet tall in optimal conditions. It is prized for its delicate, ethereal foliage and low-maintenance properties. It thrives in moist shade conditions in both formal and informal gardens, although it's also a remarkably resilient plant with a variety of uses in the home landscape. Often used near water features, this humidity-loving fern can be used either as a specimen plant or massed together for a lush, natural appearance. Its finely textured foliage provides an airy, lacy effect ideal for those seeking to create an enchanted garden look like the kind found in fairy tales and old folklore stories. The fresh, bright green of its graceful fronds makes this desirable in areas that receive dappled sunlight where they sparkle and places where the light touch touches them. When planted in the right location, it naturalizes and provides years of beauty with very little maintenance.
