Athyrium filix-femina ‘Frizelliae’
Has received the RHS Award of Garden Merit. (1997)
Lady Ferns were very popular in Victorian times, when hundreds of named forms existed. This interesting selection forms a medium-sized clump with leaves congested into bead-like balls along the stems. Open and delicate in effect. Plants prefer a woodland setting, but will tolerate sun if given enough moisture. An easy fern, with a non-spreading habit. Leaves may be trimmed to the ground in late fall or early spring. Plants are easily divided in spring, every 3-4 years.
