Compared with the other ferns, Lady Fern can handle a bit more sun and a bit more dryness, but it typically grows in the cool shade with damp conditions. It may be a good fern to start with because it is a little less picky in cultivation. You will still want to provide well-draining, rich soil. Consider lady fern if you’d like to add a new shade of green to your garden because these are a light yellow-green.
Lady Fern grows 2-3.5 feet tall. It has a lacy appearance as a result of its twice compound leaves and the stem has a few brown scales, while the rest of the plant is smooth.
There are different explanations for the name Lady Fern. Minnesota Wildflowers notes that the sori (packets of spores) are hooked shaped, or curved, like a lady’s eyebrow.
