The Lady in Red Lady Fern is a selection of our native northern lady fern, with superb dark-red central stems on its delicate fronds. These rise over 2 feet tall, forming a dense clump 2 to 3 feet across. It has lovely ā€˜fernyā€™ fronds that are dark green, turning yellow in fall. Grow it in native-plant gardens, woodlands, by ponds or streams, or in any shady part of any garden. Itā€™s a great addition for foliage and color, and very easy to grow across a large part of the country.

  • Fronds have bold dark-red central stems
  • Moderate size is ideal for the fronts of beds
  • Grows well in very cold areas
  • A selection of a native plant ā€“ great for wild gardens
  • Easy to grow and untouched by rabbits

Plant the Lady in Red Lady Fern is a spot with bright shade, or even a few hours of morning sun in cold zones. It will grow in darker shade, but not so strongly. It grows in most soils that are not too dry, and enjoys richer soils with lots of organic material in them. Water regularly ā€“ it isnā€™t drought resistant ā€“ but it will recover from the occasional patch of dryness. Itā€™s generally free of pests and diseases, and not bothered by rabbits. Besides collecting the dead fronds in late fall ā€“ and thatā€™s optional ā€“ it needs no attention to thrive.
