Fern, Lady

LADY FERN — Athyrium filix‑femina

• Lacy, arching fronds that give a soft, feathery texture and brighten shaded spaces.
• Naturally found throughout Alberta in moist woods, ravines, and streambanks, making it perfectly adapted to Edmonton’s climate.
• Forms a non‑spreading clump, so it stays where you plant it and plays well with hostas, astilbes, and woodland perennials.
• Prefers moist, humus‑rich soil but tolerates drier shade once established—more forgiving than many ferns.
• Part Shade to Full Shade
• Zone 2, 45–90 cm Height × 45–75 cm Width
