Lady Fern is a mounding native deciduous fern with delicate-looking lacy fronds that are light green. Best grown in part shade and rich, acidic and moist well-drained soils. Lady Fern is one of the ferns that can tolerate full sun if given enough moisture but does not do well in full shade. * Deciduous ferns may still be dormant until late spring. This will appear that we've delivered a pot full of dirt however a healthy robust fern is awaiting inside. Type: Fern Origins: Temperate N.
