Lady In Red Fern is a northern native deciduous fern with delicate-looking lacy elliptical fronds that are light green with contrasting burgundy stripes. Best grown in part shade and rich, acidic and moist well-drained soils. Lady In Red can tolerate full sun if moisture is consistent. It can be an aggressive spreader in ideal conditions. Deer resistant.
*Deciduous ferns may still be dormant until late spring. This will appear that we've delivered a pot full of dirt however a healthy robust fern is awaiting inside.
