Athyrium filix-femina 'Victoriae' (Lady Fern)

Athyrium filix-femina ‘Victoriae’
Lady Fern

Add graceful texture to shaded gardens with Athyrium filix-femina ‘Victoriae’. This vigorous Lady Fern forms a dense, cascading mound of dark green fronds, bringing a soft, woodland feel to shaded borders and naturalized plantings.

Its unique fronds offer extra visual interest, with the ends and sides of each pinna crested in a crisscrossing pattern. The result is a refined, textured look that stands out beautifully among hostas, heucheras, and other shade-loving perennials.

Native to Maine and North America, Lady Fern is a reliable choice for woodland gardens, shaded beds, and moist, well-drained areas.
