Lady Fern

Lovely, bright yellow-green fern with wide, deeply laciniated leaves, Lady Fern is a real favorite for shade and woodland gardens. Its yellow-green foliage provides color and texture from April until the first fall frost. Whether used in borders or as a background, ferns enhance any garden with their gracefulness and their beautiful varying shades of green. They're easy-to-grow perennials and grow almost anywhere. For best results, plant in full shade to partial shade. Deer tend to avoid fern plants.
