Athyrium (Lady Fern)

Athyrium, commonly known as Lady Fern, is a graceful and versatile fern that adds texture and elegance to shaded gardens. Its delicate, finely divided fronds emerge in spring, often with a soft pink or red tint, before maturing to a lush green. Some varieties offer unique colors like silver or burgundy, adding visual interest to shady spots.

This fern thrives in partial to full shade and prefers moist, rich, well-drained soil. Athyrium is excellent for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or as a natural companion to hostas and other shade-loving plants. It has a clump-forming habit and can slowly spread to form beautiful, lacy ground cover.

Hardy in USDA zones 3-8, Athyrium is adaptable to various climates and is particularly well-suited to cooler regions. Once established, it's relatively low-maintenance, though it appreciates consistent moisture, especially during dry periods.
