'Lady in Red' Hardy Fern - Athyrium filix-femina - 4" Pot

FERN: A fern is any one of a group of about 12,000 species of plants. Unlike mosses they have xylem and phloem (making them vascular plants). They have stems, leaves, and roots like other vascular plants. Ferns do not have either seeds or flowers (they reproduce via spores).

Origin: USA. From a volunteer at The New England Wildflower Society comes a hot new selection of our native lady fern that's all the rage. The lacy mint green foliage is held upright on dark brilliant red-violet stipes (fern stems). Each plant of this slowly spreading fern should spread to 3' in 5 years. This deciduous easy-to-grow fern makes a great blending plant for hosta and other bold-leaf plants in the woodland garden.
